Gastronomes can tuck in to a wonderfully enticing truffle vintage champagne brunch buffet at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore on Sundays. Served at the Greenhouse restaurant, the felicitous commingling of champagne, truffle and brunch classics will elevate your senses. The restaurant has clearly got the luxe formula down as the brunch attracts an upscale, well-heeled clientèle (we spot mostly expatriates and few locals).

Saizeriya Ristorante E Caffe is one of those dining establishments that I feel a little guilty to be sharing. For one, if you are looking for great food, you probably won’t find it here. But for those days when the economic outlook isn’t looking so hot, you can have your fill here without breaking the bank. Where else in Singapore can you get a glass of red wine for $3 […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/saizeriya-ristorante/feed/ 9 https://sparklette.net/food/tinge-of-blue/ https://sparklette.net/food/tinge-of-blue/#respond Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:00:32 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1287

Tinge of Blue is a café and bar that is not easily discovered, hidden away at SAFRA Mount Faber in Singapore. It strikes an appealingly casual chord with its location right by the club swimming pool. Comfortable and laid-back are two words that come to mind when you first visit this restaurant. By day, full-length windows flood the premises with natural light, while evenings are transformed into a relaxed dining […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/tinge-of-blue/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/arbite/ https://sparklette.net/food/arbite/#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2011 03:00:42 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1229

Longing for a sophisticated dining experience away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Arbite would make a nice retreat. Ensconced in Serangoon Garden Way in close proximity to the ever-popular food haunt, Chomp Chomp, Arbite occupies the unit formerly inhabited by Country Manna. Despite its relatively obscure location, Arbite is well worth a trip. Cosy up at this corner and catch up with friends over drinks and snacks.

Ever since Casa Tartufo (Italian for “House of Truffles”) opened in 2010, I have wanted to try out this Italian restaurant. It promises authentic Italian flavours based on fresh produce of the finest quality – and truffles, of course. Located at the heart of Forum The Shopping Mall, it is quite easy to miss Casa Tartufo with its boutique-like store front if you are visiting for the first time. Once […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/casa-tartufo/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/kungfu-paradise/ https://sparklette.net/food/kungfu-paradise/#comments Mon, 04 Apr 2011 03:00:25 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1115

Whatever your gastronomic desire or budgetary requirement, one thing for certain is that you won’t go hungry at KungFu Paradise. KungFu Paradise is a cheery café that offers a kaleidoscope of east meets west cuisines at friendly prices. Some of you may already be familiar with the Paradise Group which has restaurants such as Paradise Dynasty (with the colourful xiao long bao) under its wings. Compared to the other Paradise […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kungfu-paradise/feed/ 5 https://sparklette.net/food/nectar-wangz-hotel/ https://sparklette.net/food/nectar-wangz-hotel/#respond Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:21:15 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1004

Nectar at Wangz Hotel is one of those restaurants that you may not hear much of, but the place has been quietly dishing out plate after plate of great-tasting food since opening in late 2009. With the hotel’s location within the charming Tiong Bahru estate, you can enjoy a nice meal in a peaceful environment. The interior is cosy and laid-back, sporting comfortable seats and modern accents. The service is […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/nectar-wangz-hotel/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/borgata/ https://sparklette.net/food/borgata/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 03:00:50 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=992

Clarke Quay is one of the first choices for party animals when it comes to a night out in Singapore. But let’s face it, when you want good food at affordable prices, the place is nobody’s first choice. Or so I thought. The Italian restaurant, Borgata Trattoria Osteria, at The Cannery, offers decent food at decent prices. Take your pick from the menu which offers familiar Italian favourites such as […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/borgata/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-del-mar/ https://sparklette.net/food/cafe-del-mar/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:24:04 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=989

Things are getting interesting at Café del Mar, one of Singapore’s hottest beach bars. The restobar at Siloso Beach, Sentosa, has unveiled a brand new food menu with an extensive range of Mediterranean and international cuisine. Apart from sunbathing and sipping on a Mojito at the swim-up bar, you can now enjoy a sumptuous seafood meal while admiring a panoramic view of the sea.

Red G-strings and mannequins dressed in high fashion are probably the last things you would expect to find in a dining establishment, but these are the first things you would see when you walk into Pasta Stylo. On first glance, the restaurant at City Square Mall looks more like a beautifully themed bar than a pasta restaurant. The interior is decked out in black and red, with sensual touches of […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/pasta-stylo/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/boathouse/ https://sparklette.net/food/boathouse/#comments Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:14:58 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=953

Fancy dining on a boat? On this boat, you won’t get seasick. Welcome to The Fullerton Waterboat House. Credit The building structure resembles the circular stern of a ship. It is hard to miss this iconic building due to its eye-catching shape. Built in 1919, the Waterboat House was once occupied by the Port of Singapore Authorities to supply fresh water to ships anchored offshore.

I really enjoy eating, as I’m sure most people do. Thanks to increased awareness and better education on the importance of nutrition, we are becoming more sophisticated consumers. During chow hours, you would probably go for the heart-healthy and waist-friendly kind of food. At The Sentosa Resort & Spa (not to be confused with the new Resorts World Sentosa), one of its restaurants, aptly named The Garden, encourages conscious dining.

I’m not a great cook. But I sure can eat. So Eighteen Chefs’ “Be Your Own Chef” concept is extremely appealing to someone like me. Simply choose between baked rice or pasta, pick from 8 sauces and 12 ingredients, indicate your preferences on the order chit, and the chef will do the rest. Easy peasy Japanesey! Now, that’s fuss-free and personalised dining for you. The founder of this restaurant has […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/eighteen-chefs/feed/ 13 https://sparklette.net/food/forlino/ https://sparklette.net/food/forlino/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 08:18:13 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=930

Sapore Italiano has opened on our island with style.

I’m going to try not to use words like “whoopee!” and “yowza!” to describe how I feel after a sumptuous meal of gourmet food at Pasta Inc. Let’s just say that if you’re ever having a craving for gourmet pasta, this is one Italian restaurant that is definitely worth checking out. The restaurant takes up a spot along Keong Saik Road.

Do you live to eat or eat to live? For me, any food that doesn’t taste good just isn’t worth having. satay, grilled stingray, or a good curry. These are the kind of food that would keep me happy for a long time, but they are also undeniably sinful. Are scrumptious food always this unhealthful? That brings me to the point of this post.

Popular sushi restaurant chain Sakae Sushi has diversified. This time, they are seeking a slice of the wafuu (japanese style) pasta market by opening up a new restaurant. Simply named The Pasta Shop, this casual eatery offers a large selection of inexpensive pasta here, as well as burgers and thin Japanese pizza. It’s a good idea to check out the restaurant during weekdays from 11:30am to 3pm, when you can […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/pasta-shop-by-sakae/feed/ 7 https://sparklette.net/food/mingles-la-brassarie/ https://sparklette.net/food/mingles-la-brassarie/#comments Tue, 06 May 2008 15:27:50 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=737

Big Splash at East Coast Park has reopened after a 1.5 year revamp! Gone are the towering water slides that gave it its name. Taking their place are 11 new eateries that would no doubt be welcomed by the large crowd visiting the popular coastline. This new dining destination is now known as Playground@Big Splash! The first of these new restaurants that I have visited is Mingles La’ Brassarie. Why?

Local café chain Bakerzin has updated its menu for 2008! The reason that keeps me going there is that the team of chefs serve up a mean seafood pasta. And let’s not forget the oh-so-sinful-and-yummilicious chocolate lava cake too. But with this new 2008 menu, I’ve found a third good reason.
