Famous Argentinian Restaurant and Bar, Brasero Atlántico and Florería Atlántico will be having a three-month pop-up at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore.

From 1 Aug 2023, award-winning Renato “Tato” Giovannoni (widely recognised as one of the top 10 bartenders in the world), and culinary and hospitality maestro Alex Resnik will be bringing a taste of Argentina to Singapore by introducing their signature food and beverage during the three-month kitchen and bar takeover.

If you are in the mood for something different, don’t miss out on this chance to experience authentic Argentinian cuisine in Singapore by having a meal at this pop-up at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore.

This captivating South American brasserie pop-up at One-Ninety Restaurant and One-Ninety Bar, spanning from Buenos Aires to Singapore, will take customers on a journey to the energetic streets of Argentina.

Brasero Atlántico presents an à la carte dinner menu meticulously crafted by Alex Resnik and Chef Ryan Turner as well as an exclusive seven-course Chef’s Table dining encounter (priced at S$168 per individual). This culinary journey highlights the varied tastes and time-honoured methods that contribute to the undeniable allure of Argentinian gastronomy.

From classic Argentinian asado barbecue to street food favourite empanadas, the menu at Brasero Atlántico’s pop-up in Singapore is simple and concise with a variety of starters as well as mains cooked a las brasas (on the grill).

Our favourite starter has got to be the Aged Provoleta Cheese (S$28). This seemingly simple dish may look unassuming, but it was one of the best-tasting cheeses we’ve ever had.

The cheese is dry-aged for seven days in-house before being baked in the oven. It has just the right amount of cheese pull, and the taste is out of the world. You get a mix of mild and salty, heavy cheeses all in one bite.

The mains from the grill include Tenderloin, Ribeye, Pork Loin, and Whole Baby Spring Chicken. If you are dining in a bigger group, you can go for the T-Bone Steak (S$158, serves 2 and also comes with 2 sides) and order a few dishes to share.

The must-try dish is definitely the Frog Legs “A la Provenzal” featuring frog legs which are air-flown from France. The tender frog legs are meticulously cooked, and are light in flavour, and elevated by an addictive rich and flavourful white wine garlic butter sauce.

Even the accompanying potatoes are not just an accompaniment; they are crispy on the inside, and so warm and soft on the inside with a slightly earthy taste.

On the sweets side, we absolutely loved the Valrhona chocolate lava cake. Argentinian tea leaves are roasted then used to make the filling. Cut into the chocolate cake, and the tea creme will come flowing out. It’s like matcha, but Argentinian style. This was divine, and best eaten hot.

For those with a passion for exploring cocktails around the world, Florería Atlántico is recognized as one of the most thrilling bars in South America. Notably, Florería secured the 18th position in the previous year’s World’s 50 Best Bars ranking.

Cocktail highlights include Florería Atlántico’s classics such as the Negroni Balestrini (S$27), the classic Italian aperitif made with gin, Campari, Amaro Averna, eucalyptus, and seawater, as well as the El Dorado (S$29), a refreshing and fruity mix of Cachaça, Manifest, house-made Mate Tereré, sugar cane juice and tropical fruits.

The ladies will love Saint Marthe (S$26)—a sweet cocktail made of rosé wine with Lavender and Richard syrup.

One-Ninety Restaurant x Brasero Atlántico
6:00 to 10:30 pm (last order at 10:00 pm)

One-Ninety Bar x Florería Atlántico

This Mid-Autumn Festival, well-loved homegrown bistro The Marmalade Pantry is launching a new Mid-Autumn Collection with a new selection of mooncake flavours that are presented in an elegant gift box.

Crafted from low-sugar and no-lard recipes, the delectable mooncakes are exclusively available in two special edition gift sets.

Thoughtfully encased in a gift box that ingeniously transforms into a sophisticated jewelry vault, these mooncakes become exceptional and practical presents for both loved ones and professional connections.

Their elegant packaging adds to their charm and functionality, making them a perfect gift choice for the Mid-Autumn Festival, suitable for both personal and business relationships.

Customers who order and pay using Mastercard® by 27 Aug 2023 can enjoy an exclusive 20% early bird discount; the use of promo code <MCG20> is required for online purchases.

THREE NEW INTERESTING MOONCAKE FLAVOURS

Fans of The Marmalade Pantry’s mooncakes will definitely be getting the signature flavour of White Lotus with Double Yolk—a must-have mooncake for every Mid-Autumn Festival.

On top of that, The Marmalade Pantry has its modern take on the traditional mooncakes by introducing three new interesting flavours this year – Assam Tea and Hokkaido Milk with Raisin; Taro Coconut with Red Bean; and Red Lotus and Black Sesame with Pecan.

The Assam Tea and Hokkaido Milk with Raisin mooncake presents a contemporary twist on the traditional baked lotus paste flavor. It combines a smooth lotus paste infused with the tamarind tea and shredded lemon peel. A luscious Hokkaido milk lotus paste is blended with plump raisins that offer bursts of natural sweetness.

Drawing inspiration from the yam-filled Teochew-style mooncakes, the Taro Coconut with Red Bean mooncake carries its own distinctive flavour profile. It features a velvety lotus paste enriched with luscious yam and Taiwanese red bean paste.

The Red Lotus and Pecan with Black Sesame showcases the harmonious fusion of flavors with a luscious and nutty black sesame paste that is artfully balanced with a subtly sweet red lotus paste. Enclosed within a buttery baked crust, every mouthful reveals delightful morsels of pecans, imparting a delicate crunch to each bite.

ELEGANTLY PRESENTED IN A JEWELRY BOX

The carefully curated assortment of mooncakes is gracefully nestled within a refined jewelry box, with the purchase of either The Marmalade Mix or The Classic Collection.

The Marmalade Pantry has always been creative with the design of their mooncake boxes which can be reuse/repurpose. And it is no exception this year.

This limited edition Jewel Vault, measuring 27.5cm (L) x 21.5cm (W) x 6cm (H), is meticulously crafted and adorned with contemporary scarlet red illustrations of The Marmalade Pantry’s iconic olive stalks.

Blending luxury with practicality, the spacious interior of the jewelry box is lined with plush grey velvet and divided into four sections, each designed to hold a mooncake. These four compartments can be repurposed for storing watches and bracelets. Additionally, the box features cushioned slots on the side, providing an exquisite display space for rings, cuff links and earrings.

WHERE TO ORDER THE MARMALADE PANTRY MOONCAKES

Orders can be made at the ION, Downtown (Downtown), Anchorpoint, and Bugis outlets from 1 Jul to 29 Sep 2023, while stocks last (last day to order is on 29 Sep 2023).

Specialising in the best premium Japanese wagyu that melts in your mouth, Fat Cow is a Japanese steakhouse where you can enjoy an extensive array of top-of-the-line Japanese beef.

Fans of the award-winning fine-dining Japanese restaurant will be thrilled to know that they have opened MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, a new modern dining concept at Mess Hall in Sentosa.

MIYOSHI, which translates to ‘three graces’, is an allusion to the restaurant’s roots and its concept. A culinary collaboration by Head Chef Shingo Iijima of Fat Cow and Sous Chef Nigel Loh, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow focuses on three iconic dining experiences of Japanese cuisine – ramen, teppan-kaiseki and omakase.

If it is your first time visiting MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, we highly recommend going for their dinner Teppan-Kaiseki (S$280+++ and additional S$78++ for a 4-glass sake pairing) – an exquisite 11-course meal which showcases some of the best offerings by the modern Japanese restaurant. We were simply blown away by the sheer lavishness of the premium ingredients.

MIYOSHI by Fat Cow’s Teppan-Kaiseki dinner menu

• Zensai
• Fresh Spring Rolls & Wagyu Tartare
• Wagyu Sawani-wan
• Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops
• Uni Soba
• Yuzu Butter Madai
• Steamed Abalone
• Teppan Style Sukiyaki
• Wagyu Tenderloin A4
• Signature Garlic Rice
• Black Sesame Tofu

The meal began with a series of appetisers in the form of “light bites”. The Wagyu Kinome Yaki was a no-frills kind of appetiser – just a lovely piece of wagyu that’s pan-seared to a perfect tenderness.

A thinly-sliced A4 wagyu slice was lightly boiled then simmered in a lovely dashi broth with shredded vegetables, and the end result was simply sublime. What a way to start our Teppan-Kaiseki!

These Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops has redefined scallops for us. Probably among the hugest scallops we’ve ever seen, these plump babies were carefully teppanyaki-grilled for that hint of smokiness while retaining the juiciness.

The Uni Soba was such a pretty dish! And it tasted as good as it looked. You get fresh uni atop cold soba, topped with nikumiso and soba sauce – the dish was creamy with a nice texture, and subtly sweet.

This dish of Yuzu Butter Madai was superb! A fresh chunk of a sea bream is seared on the teppan, then coated with yuzu kyoto miso and served with sweet seasonal vegetables; light flavours, yet packs a punch.

The highlight for us was the Teppan Style Sukiyaki. Luxuriate in a slice of marinated wagyu, served in a black truffle sukiyaki and egg yolk sauce – we were so in awe of this dish that we wanted more.

Saving the best for the last, we had the Wagyu Tenderloin A4. It was lightly seasoned with salt and pepper to allow the natural flavour of the beef to shine. You can always count on the Fat Cow team to serve the best steaks!

Other than the Teppan-Kaiseki, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow offers other a la carte dishes and you can choose from various menus including Teppanyaki, Robatayaki, Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu, Donburi and Ramen.

From the prized Satsuma beef to the renowned Hida beef, and everyone’s favourite Miyazaki beef, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow offers some of the best premium Japanese beef in Singapore.

Go for their Robatayaki-style Satsuma A4 Tenderloin (S$158) or Hida A5 Wagyu Ribeye (S$148). And not forgetting the crowd-favourite wagyu donburi. You can go for the Wagyu Yakiniku Donburi or try the Hida Wagyu Ribeye & Satsuma Tenderloin Donburi teppanyaki-style.

Another highlight of MIYOSHI by Fat Cow is the Wagyu Shoyu Ramen (S$58++) that features premium Miyazaki A4 wagyu presented in shabu-style slices.

From now till 30 June 2023, when you dine with a guest for the teppan-kaiseki dinner set menu, pay by Mastercard and receive a complimentary bottle of sake.

Enjoy 1-for-1 mains redemption if you have a TriplePlus membership (Plus 2 & Plus 3). For those of you who are not familiar, TriplePlus is Commonwealth Concepts’ first loyalty program and it offers unlimited rebates, 1-for-1 mains vouchers and up to 30% discounts across more than 10 brands including Fat Cow, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, Bedrock Bar & Grill & The Marmalade Pantry.

The Marmalade Pantry, one of our favourite homegrown bistros, is gearing up for the festivities with the launch of its ‘Once Upon a Christmas’ festive gourmet highlights menu. Creatively curated and excellently executed every year, The Marmalade Pantry’s Christmas menu is a must-have for year-end parties and is sure to be a hit!

This year, The Marmalade Pantry offers three festive takeaway and delivery bundles showcasing a mouth-watering spread of the season’s delights along with four types of holiday wines to heighten the year-end revelry.

Those choosing to dine out in one of The Marmalade Pantry’s outlets can partake in a delicious 3-Course Festive Set Dinner (only available at The Marmalade Pantry Downtown) or charming Jovial Afternoon Tea & Moscato Set.

Highlighting traditional roasts with a modern twist like the new Roasted Turkey with Honey, Lavender, and Peppercorn, as well as the Lavender Honey Pepper Chicken, this year’s menu also include new classics such as the Lemon & Thyme Slow-Baked Salmon Fillet and Rosemary-Infused Roasted Ribeye.

House-brined overnight before being slow-roasted to a perfect golden brown, the new Roasted Turkey with Honey, Lavender, and Peppercorn (S$128+, 3.6kg) is succulent, juicy, and it is definitely going to be the highlight from this year’s menu.

We are also excited to see that the all-time favourite, Maple & Clove Glazed Smoked Gammon Ham (S$98+, 1.5kg), is making a return this year – a hunky, boneless gammon ham with a fragrant maple glaze, the sweet and savoury ham is marinated overnight and roasted to perfection.

Cured overnight and marinated in bright lemon zest and thyme before being slow-baked till flaky yet moist, the new Lemon & Thyme Slow-Baked Salmon Fillet (S$78, 0.8kg) is the perfect alternative to the meats.

Debuting this year are the Chilli Con Carne with Cornbread (S$28+) and Impossible Beef Lasagne ($32+).

The former highlights hearty chilli con carne, a robust stew of minced beef, red capsicum, onions, carrots, kidney beans, encased by house-made cornbread. The latter is a toothsome plant-based lasagne with layers of Impossible Beef ‘Bolognese sauce’, al dente pasta sheets, mozzarella and grana padano cheese.

Christmas parties are not complete without log cakes and the two new flavours by The Marmalade Pantry are bound to please. The Classic Chocolate Truffle Log Cake (S$68+) features a rich 60% dark chocolate truffle core enveloped in a chocolate crème of melted chocolate ganache and whipped cream.

The Tangy Lemon Pistachio Log Cake (S$68+) offers a lighter, fruity rendition of a traditional yule log with a lemon white chocolate truffle core wrapped in a pistachio frosting of pistachio paste and Chantilly cream and rolled with a fluffy vanilla sponge.

CRAZY3

Formerly known as Thailily, Crazy3 at Goldhill Centre is a casual Thai restaurant that dishes out an array of Thai classics such as Seafood Tom Yum as well as fusion interpretations.

The two signature dishes that they have picked for Chang Sensory Trails 2022 are their Crazy3 Thai Garlic Squid (S$20.80) & Mini Pork Bomb (S$12.90). The former is a super addictive and crispy battered squid that is topped with a pile of fried garlic, while the latter is very unassuming-looking but super delicious pork meatballs that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Complement these savoury dishes with a pint of iced cold Chang Beer.

KHAO HOM BY RUNG MAMA

Located within Djitsun Mall in Ang Mo Kio, Khao Hom by Rung Mama is a hidden gem opened by a Thai lady with the recipes from her mother, Rung Mama.

The Crab Meat with yellow curry and Thai Noodles (S$18), also known as Ke Nom Jin Kaeng Pu, was super fiery, hot and spicy. We totally enjoyed this robust-tasting dish! You will definitely need a drink after eating it – an ice cold Chang Beer that is.

The Seafood & Crab in Thai Curry Powder (Talay Phad Phong Karee, S$18) is the other signature dish that is part of  Chang Sensory Trails 2022 promotion. This is less spicy but no less flavourful, and goes super well with beer!

NAKHON KITCHEN HOLLAND VILLAGE

One of the most well-known Thai restaurants in Singapore, Nakhon Kitchen is a household name among Singaporeans for its authentic and affordable Thai street food.

The two signature dishes from Nakhon Kitchen’s Holland Village outlet are Homemade Thai Prawn Cake (S$12) and Spicy Otah Pancake (S$10) and they are perfect with Chang Beer’s refreshing golden brew. The savoury flavours and crispy texture go hand in hand with the Thai smooth brew. Order either one of the two signature dishes to get 1 bottle of Chang Beer for only S$1.

This post is brought to you by Chang Beer and Chang Sensory Trails 2022 is held in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Established in 2021, Takeshi-San rose to fame in Singapore’s dining scene with its iconic Sushi Kaidan staircase, modern sushi rolls and an extensive selection of Japanese dishes at reasonable prices.

Into its second year, Takeshi-San has expanded its menu to introduce Izakaya-style sharing dishes that are perfect to go with drinks. The beer lovers will love the Kirin Beer Garden, too!

From 1 to 30 July 2022 (Monday to Thursday), flash the post on ladyironchef to the friendly staff at Takeshi-San to enjoy their Seafood Platter/Yakimono Platter at S$48 (UP $68).

Here are the dishes that you must order when you are dining at Takeshi-San.

Located at the buzzing Lorong Mambong in Holland Village, Takeshi-San is a cosy and casual sushi bar/izakaya where you can have a good Japanese meal and drinks without breaking the bank.

From modern sushi rolls, to chirashi don, seafood sashimi platters, and yakitori, Takeshi-San offers a wide array of dishes for everyone and there is always something new to look forward to. Be it for sharing or solo dining, you’d be able to find something to your liking from its menu, we’re very sure of this.

Don’t miss out on Takeshi-San’s innovative take on modern sushi rolls. The signature rolls include the Ebi Tempura with cream cheese and baked eel, Salmon Aburi Mentai roll, as well as the Mexican Roll which features panko shrimp, cream cheese and boiled shrimp.

Pssst. The snobs won’t like these but we were so addicted to the Mexican Roll! The flavours went so well together, and the panko made everything even better.

Another highlight is the incredibly value-for-money Seafood Platter (S$68) which comes with half a dozen freshly-shucked jumbo oysters, salmon, salmon belly, scallops and tuna sashimi.

Yes, you read that right. This giant platter of goodness for only S$68. Scroll up and read the inclusion again; we guarantee it’ll make you want to go to Takeshi-San pronto.

The carnivores can go for the Wagyu & Yakitori Platter (S$48) which includes wagyu slices, chicken yakitori, Saikoro steak, with salad and fries on the side. Best enjoyed with Kirin Frozen Beer, you guys.

If you are having drinks at Takeshi-San with your friends after dinner, go for the Party Platter (S$48)!

We love fried food and we cannot lie. From Tori Karaage, to Ehire, Kawa Ebi, Fried Salmon Skin and French Fries, the Party Platter has a bit of all our favourite fried food.

We are always on the lookout for awesome Happy Hour promotions in Singapore and we are thrilled to report that Takeshi-San has really attractive Happy Hour deals which are available from 11.30am to 8pm daily. Look forward to S$8 wines, S$10 sake and full pint Kirin beers.

Takeshi-San has recently been announced as the first Kirin Beer Garden in Singapore, offering the beloved and sought-after Kirin Frozen Beer and Beer Cocktails.

The next time you are looking for a watering hole in Holland Village to have a great time with your squad, check out Takeshi-San for its modern Japanese dishes, value-for-money platters and affordable drinks.

Founded by Chong’s Yong Tau Foo and Pokpok Keh Pink Salt Chicken, Nanyang Culinary Club is a casual eatery in Little India near Rochor MRT Station which dishes out homely dishes including authentic Hakka Yong Tau Foo, tender baked herbal chicken, as well as old-school local beverages such as Kopi-cino, Milo-cino and Bandung-cino.

Located just a stone’s throw from Rochor MRT Station, Nanyang Culinary Club is a cosy eatery with a heritage decor where you can listen to Xinyao music and enjoy affordable local food.

We are huge fans of Pokpok Keh Pink Salt Chicken and they previously had a shop in Kovan for takeaways. You can now enjoy their famous baked herbal chicken in a comfortable setting.

We’ve always loved such simple & comforting baked herbal chicken and their renditions are extremely flavourful! Pokpok Keh Pink Salt Chicken uses top quality kampung chicken and they are prepared using Himalayan pink salt (lower in sodium content as compared to regular table salt) and premium herbs, and baked until fork-tender.

There are 4 flavours available, and our favourites are the Ginseng Pink Salt Chicken (S$29) and Bazhen Pink Salt Black Chicken (S$23)—both with their respective health benefits to boast. The other two flavours that you can also try are Original Pink Salt Chicken (S$29) and Bak Kut Teh Pink Salt Chicken (S$29).

You can order the whole chicken as a communal dish to share with your friends and family, or get their individual Chicken Bento (S$11.90) which comes with a pink salt whole chicken leg, lava egg, seasoned cucumbers, rice and a special chilli sauce which complements the pink salt chicken.

Moving on to Chong’s Yong Tau Foo’s Hakka Yong Tau Foo. The collagen-rich soup base has a strong taste of solefish and soy beans while the yong tau foo is generously stuffed with a mixture of water chestnuts, carrot, fresh minced pork, and fish paste. We love the extra crunch of the water chestnuts and the yong tau foo ingredients go really well with a homemade chilli sauce which is specially made for the yong tau foo.

The Hakka minced pork noodles also deserve a special mention. Topped with minced pork and mushroom, the noodles have a QQ texture and they are really good.

The Collagen Hakka Yong Tau Foo Noodle Set for 1 pax (S$8.90) comes with the Hakka minced pork noodles and 6 pieces of Yong Tau Foo in a bowl of collagen soup. Other than their classic Yong Tau Foo ingredients, you can add on Fried Hakka Pork Balls (S$7.90), and Fried Mini Ngoh Hiang (S$7.90) to complete your meal.

For those of you who are driving to Nanyang Culinary Club, there is ample parking at Tekka place carpark which is just a short 2-minute walk away.

If you are too lazy to head out, Nanyang Culinary Club offers free Islandwide deliveries for order above S$58, with fresh & frozen options to choose from. You can get their frozen herbal baked chicken to enjoy at the comfort of your home. All you have to do is to thaw and steam it for 20 minutes.

Founded by Chef Raymond Tan—the Chef Owner of renown omakase restaurant, Hiryu—Shinsho Ramen is an affordable ramen joint which dishes out solid paitan-tonkotsu ramen as well as a selection of delicious sides such as gyoza, fried chicken skin, Japanese tacos and fried buns.

It has recently introduced four new Omurice dishes that you have to try!

The four new Omurice include:

• Ebi & Ebiko S$19.80
• Salmon ikura S$21.80
• Unagi kabayaki S$29.80
• Yakiniku A4 Wagyu S$38.80

Out of the four new Omurice, our favourite is definitely the A4 Wagyu Omurice. If you love Shinsho Ramen’s Kuroge Wagyu A4 (S$54) Ramen, you will enjoy the new Wagyu Omurice which comes with slices of Yakiniku A4 Wagyu.

The Ebi & Ebiko Omurice is a hearty dish of Japanese omelette with prawns and Ebiko.

The Salmon Ikura Omurice features pan-seared salmon with a homemade teriyaki sauce and we love that it comes with a generous topping of Ikura.

Other than the four new Omurice, Shinsho Ramen has also added three new appetisers to the menu:

• Grilled Surume Ika S$24
• Buta Bara Karaage S$9.90
• Salmon carpaccio S$10.90

The squid is coated with a spicy miso marination and grilled to perfection.

Shinsho Ramen’s Buta Bara Karaage is super addictive and it goes really well with an ice cold beer.

And if it is your first time dining at Shinsho Ramen, you must order their signature Paitan ramen.

The broth is standardized and they are all Paitan-tonkotsu. Boiled for more than 24hrs with chicken carcasses and pork bones, look forward to a full-bodied milky white broth that is creamy, sweet and extremely satisfying.

The ramen menu consists of the regular options such as the Aged Soy Sauce (S$14.90), Spicy Red Miso (S$16.90), Homemade Black Garlic (S$15.90) and Special Black Truffle (S$17.90). All are very affordable and comes in a reasonable portion for one, with an assortment of toppings such as cha siu, bamboo shoots, grilled baby corn, spring onion and hanjuku egg.

Ohayo Mama San is the newest and possibly most chic restaurant in Somerset. Very conveniently located on the first level, just right beside the entrance for 313@Somerset, Ohayo Mama San is a sexy and modern Japanese fusion restaurant & bar with an enthralling menu.

You will not miss this swanky space, for sure. Decked in vibrant-coloured furniture that are so tres chic, Ohayo Mama San is an extremely comfortable and inviting place to be for a meal, for a catch-up with friends, or just a spot to rest your aching feet after a day of shopping in town. Prices are extremely reasonable, too.

On its menu, you will find a spectrum of offerings from all-day brunch sets, Japanese tapas and sushi rolls, Jap-fusion mains and afternoon tea sets. We don’t deny that we were a bit mind-boggled by the extensive menu, but this also means more reasons to go back to Ohayo Mama San. Here’s everything we tried and loved so far, and we are sure there are more yummy dishes awaiting our discovery!

Ohayo Mama San is situated strategically beside the entrance and is right across the MRT station exit, making it the go-to spot when you are in town. Its inviting interior includes cosy booth seats, high tables, and small tables for smaller groups/ couples.

The menu is a comprehensive one and it definitely has something for everybody – from all-day brunch sets, afternoon tea sets, mini rice bowls and riceless sushi, Japanese Tapas and fusion light bites, Jap-Indo fusion mains, sashimi platters and sushi towers, and more.

To begin, there are sharing items such as canapes and Japanese Tapas. Choose from a range of Jap-style pizzas, wagyu bites, oysters, carpaccio and Jap-style tacos.

For the brunch lovers, Ohayo Mama San also has a brunch menu which runs from 11.30am to 2pm and 6pm to closing daily. Served on a classic Japanese wooden tray, with an assortment of light bites and mains, think of these as Japanese bentos in a light-hearted, Modern take. Prices start from S$18 per set – how attractive is this?

For the raw food lovers, Ohayo Mama San also has several sashimi platters, but we have to say there are two that really stood out – the Salmon Obsession Platter (S$58++) and Uni Garden (S$228++, available with pre-booking).

Now, can we look at this Salmon Obsession Platter? It is massive and will make any salmon lovers delirious. You have salmon done in many ways, and it is a good platter to share between 2-3pax. The price is unbelievable, to say the least.

The Uni Garden (S$228++, available with pre-booking) is for the ones who are willing to splurge a little. The uni is flown in multiple times a week to ensure its freshness, so no matter which way the uni is done, you get really good, plump and creamy fresh uni direct from Japan.

It features a variety of premium Uni and ingredients including Oyster Uni Ponzu Citrus Shot, Shiro Ebi Uni with Umami Sauce, Uni Shiro Ebi Wasabi Ebiko, Uni Chop Toro, Uni Shiro Ebi Dashi Jelly, Uni Chop Toro with Ikura and Nori Sauce, Uni Snow Crab Meat with Nori Sauce, Narabi Bafun Uni Toro, Botan Ebi, Aka Mutsu with Uni.

Fancy some sushi? Go for the Temari Sushi Kyuden Set – a cute tower of sushi that symbolizes good luck and happiness, usually enjoyed during celebrations in Japan. At S$48++ per set, these hand-crafted ball-shaped sushi feature exciting mish-mash of ingredients that are pleasantly surprising with every bite.

Otherwise, if you prefer something simpler, there are also basic sushi sets starting from S$18++ for 8 pieces of sushi. Told you their food is very affordable!

You should also try the Bocconcini di Buffala al Sashimi (S$28++) which features thick slices of Toro, Salmon, Salmon Belly, Hotate, Akami and Akamutsu on top of Bocconcini Cheese and sprinkled with a touch of Truffle Shoyu.

Onto the mains, you can choose from ramen, and donburi. And on top of that, Ohayo Mama San will be introducing several new Japanese fusion mains from 2 April 2022. You would never imagine Indonesian flavours to go so well with Japanese ingredients, but Ohayo Mama San did it, and boy, were we impressed.

The Onion Baked Rendang Wagyu with Garlic Rice (S$26++) was beyond imagination. Imagine buttery, tender A4 Mizayaki wagyu cubes pan-fried to perfection with a beautiful red center, complemented with homemade Indonesian rendang that is slightly spicy but still super palatable; the explosion of flavours was one so unexpected, it left us salivating for more.

Then, there is the Creamy Sambal Ljo (Green Chilli) Fish with Garlic Fried Rice (S$24++) that totally won our hearts and we would totally return to Ohayo Mama San for this. The star isn’t even the fish, but the freshly-made jalapeño with white wine sauce. The fiery kick and aromatic pepper taste is one so fragrant and so addictive that we would go back to Ohayo Mama just for this!

There is also the Sweet & Sour Balinese Sambal Matah Seafood Medley with Garlic Rice (S$24++) featuring housemade samabal matah. For the uninitiated, Indonesians love their sambal and there are hundreds of different sambal. Sambal matah is a raw chilli and on its own a broad category, but by and large, they are made with garlic, chillies, shallots, lemongrass and shrimp paste.

At Ohayo Mama San, they take pride in their sambal matah and make theirs from scratch. And with the local diners in mind, their sambal matah is given a slight sweet and sour twist so that the heat is not so overpowering. This comforting seafood dish is nothing but pure goodness and top-notch quality.

All of the three main courses above are served with a portion of garlic fried rice.

Ohayo Mama San offers a wide selection of Japanese sake and cocktails at very reasonable prices and the daily happy hour starts from 11am.

Tea Party Sets are for the afternoon tea lovers, and what is a shopping day out without stopping by for some sweet treats, right? Ohayo Mama San’s tea sets begin at S$38++ for two, and comes with a pot of tea too. Top it up to S$58++ for 2 pax and you get two glasses of Passion Mimosa; top it up to S$65++ for 2 pax and there will be house sake. Absolute deal, we must say.

ANG KU KUEH CAKE (400g, S$48)

The newest addition to The Marmalade Pantry’s Lunar New Year lineup is the Ang Ku Kueh Cake which is inspired by the traditional Ang Ku Kueh. Who would have thought this would be possible?

Enveloped in cocoa butter in an auspicious red hue, it features layers of light vanilla chiffon sponge, osmanthus mousse, and smooth mung bean crémeux studded with springy mochi pieces to recreate the Ang Ku Kueh’s filling and glutinous rice flour skin texture.

We bet you never had an Ang Ku Kueh snack during Lunar New Year before! And this looks so pretty, too!

ALMOND COOKIES (200g, S$26)

The surest way to wow your guests if you have home parties is with good almond cookies. The nutty cookies offer textural bites of smooth ground almonds and crunchy almond nibs, topped with a whole almond. We are definitely keeping some for ourselves!

GOLDEN PINEAPPLE TARTS (220g, S$26)

The Marmalade Pantry’s Golden Pineapple Tart is a must-try Lunar New Year goodie. Lightly spiced and aromatic with hints of pandan and cinnamon, slow-cooked jammy Thai pineapple filling is encased within a pillowy, buttery pastry. It’s so good that you won’t be able to stop munching on them. They are totally worth the calories.

TRADITIONAL PETITE CHICKEN BAK KWA (300g, S$30)

What’s Lunar New Year without having Bak Kwa?

Individually vacuum packed for freshness and convenience, the Traditional Petite Chicken Bak Kwa from The Marmalade Pantry has no added meat tenderiser, preservatives, artificial colouring, flavouring, or MSG. Honestly, we can have these all year round.

HONEY MUSTARD ROAST CRACKERS (150g, S$26)

The soya bean crisps are deep-fried till golden brown, and generously coated with a tangy honey mustard seasoning and finally, tossed with a fresh herbaceous garnish of rosemary and chives. It’s something different and less predictable, yet nothing short of delicious.

LUNAR NEW YEAR GOODIES WITH STYLISH PACKAGING

What makes the Lunar New Year goodies from The Marmalade Pantry stand out is definitely the elegant and stylish packaging. This is something we always look forward to – The Msa’s regal packaging when it comes to gift sets.

We were pretty bored of the ramen choices in Singapore for a while, until Shinsho Ramen opened in mid-2020 and disrupted the scene. Very soon after, they became our favourite ramen shop in Singapore and we are hopelessly hooked to those marvellous bowls of ramen.

Founded by Chef Raymond Tan—the Chef Owner of renown omakase restaurant, Hiryu—Shinsho Ramen is an affordable ramen joint with a carefully-thought menu of interesting appetizers and side dishes, and a very stellar ramen selection that will leave even the connoisseurs mind-boggled.

Ever passionate about serving his customers with nothing but the best, Chef Owner Raymond Tan and Executive Chef Liang Neo spent months working on Shinsho Ramen’s menu, and with their expertise and connections to the best suppliers, you can be assured that you will only be eating premium, superior ingredients.

Shinsho Ramen has 2 outlets in Singapore currently at GR.ID and SingPost Centre.

But let’s first talk about the star of Shinsho—which is the paitan ramen. The broth is standardized and they are all paitan-tonkotsu. Boiled for more than 24hrs with chicken carcasses and pork bones, look forward to a full-bodied milky white broth that is creamy, sweet and extremely satisfying. We’ve always been more drawn to pork bone broth, but Shinsho’s version is a really impressive balance of chicken and pork, with neither being overpowering; it’s a really smooth flavour that will please anyone.

The ramen menu consists of the regular options such as the Aged Soy Sauce (S$14.90), Spicy Red Miso (S$16.90), Homemade Black Garlic (S$15.90) and Special Black Truffle (S$17.90). All are very affordable and comes in a reasonable portion for one, with an assortment of toppings such as cha siu, bamboo shoots, grilled baby corn, spring onion and hanjuku egg.

Shinsho Ramen also has other unique and fusion flavours such as Mala Ramen and Chashu Curry Tsukemen. Be warned, though. The Mala Ramen is super spicy and it is not for the faint-hearted.

Want a more leveled-up version? There is a special ramen menu which comprises some pretty lavish versions: Half Rock Lobster (S$48), Pork Ribs with Teriyaki (S$19.90, and our favourite Kuroge Wagyu A4 (S$54).

The wagyu ramen was the highlight of our meal and it deserves another trip down. 2 slices of A4 wagyu (~110g) are added to the bowl raw, and the boiling broth will cook the wagyu slices lightly, giving it a tender texture with every bite melting in your mouth.

The marriage of paitan-tonkotsu broth and premium wagyu slices is brilliant, and this Kuroge Wagyu A4 ramen is definitely the best bowl of ramen we’ve had in Singapore.

Who needs cha siu in your ramen when you can have wagyu slices?! Trust Chef Raymond and his team to always take things up a notch.

Instead of your usual tortilla wrap, Chef Raymond sourced for good seaweed slices, coated them with a housemade batter, then deep-fried the seaweed which will then become the shells for the taco.

And the fillings are nothing you would expect: mala crayfish, crab tobiko, salmon avocado, wagyu cheese curry, torched mentaiko prawn and scallop with caviar. They are nothing like your usual tacos; these modern fusion tacos both photogenic and unbelievably delicious. Extra points for creativity!

Also on Shinsho Ramen’s menu is a small selection of buns. Mantou is being deep-fried, and tucked with a choice of fried pork loin, sliced roasted pork belly and fried bread crumbs chicken—all at only S$4.90 each. If ramen isn’t for you, perhaps you can go for one of each buns. The kids will love this too!

Shinsho Ramen has plans to open more outlets in 2022 and we are definitely keeping our fingers crossed that they will open an outlet nearer to our home. Until then, you can find them at SingPost Centre or GR.ID Mall.

Want a family holiday without traveling out of Singapore? You can still do so at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). RWS is a destination and its inclusiveness makes it an ideal holiday destination – be it for couples, friends or families.

With numerous hotels on the island and even more restaurants, celebrate Christmas and enjoy yourselves to the fullest at RWS without even stepping out of the resort. There are some really irresistible festive staycay deals. We had a preview and boy, were we recharged after a short respite without actual traveling!

This Christmas, look forward to an adventure at RWS. From a luxurious hotel stay to really delectable meals, treat yourselves to some fun on the island! P.S. we found it so hard to check out and we might just return. See you if we see you!

We spent a night at Equarius Hotel and it was a marvellous experience from start to end. Everything we needed for a holiday, we ticked it off from our stay.

Our family of three checked in without much delays. The process was smooth and the security checks were stringent to ensure all guests are safe. Our accommodation of the night was the Deluxe Suite with pool access, and it was perfect for our little daughter who gets excited over the sight of swimming pools. The convenience! We could just jump straight into the pool anytime, and the best part?

The exclusive hotel lap pool is only available for those who book the Deluxe Room/Suite with pool access.

We spent a good hour or two relaxing on the plush bed and enjoying the breeze on the outdoor deck chairs before heading out for an afternoon tea.

For guests of Equarius Hotel, there is an option for you to add-on an afternoon tea session, but due to overwhelming response, it has been sold out. However, you can still visit Ocean Restaurant for their set lunch menus which start from $68++ (do note that it is not included in the hotel package) or select it as your choice of festive dinner (included in the hotel package).

‘High Tea in the Deep Sea’ afternoon tea was quite an experience. Indulge in an afternoon tea session with your loved ones at Ocean Restaurant. We were so thrilled by the underwater dining experience and it was really not your typical afternoon tea.

Enjoy freshly-prepared canapés and decadent sweet treats while getting lost in the wondrous aquarium. Our daughter was pretty bewildered by the experience and she didn’t want to leave.

We wasted no time and went back to our Suite to luxuriate further; that was how much we enjoyed our stay! Our daughter was kept occupied with her toys while we caught up with our Netflix drama at the lounge area. Yes, the Suite is huge if you do book it. There are many corners to enjoy and relax; truly an experience that we will never forget.

If you book a 2D1N Joyous Stay-In Package at Resorts World Sentosa, it comes with a Festive Dinner Menu for two at Syun, table65, Osia Steak and Seafood Grill, Ocean Restaurant or CURATE CUCINA PISANA.

We had dinner at table65 and it was a gastronomical affair. Helmed by the culinary masterminds behind Amsterdam’s Two MICHELIN Star Restaurant, dining at table65 is an intimate affair. The open-kitchen concept allows guests to freely interact with the chefs, and to discover more about what goes on in the kitchen before your food goes onto your plates.

Throughout our dinner, we were given insights by Chef de Cuisine, Dayal Kesha on how each dish was prepared, the inspiration behind, the star ingredient(s), so on and so forth. It was delighting for the senses, to say the least. We savoured our 4-course dinner with much anticipation, and each course just got better and more intricate.

The highlights had to be our main course and dessert. The BBQ Duck with foie gras, blueberry, aigre doux and confit of chestnut was executed with masterly finesse. First of all, local ducks from Toh Thye San farm are used so as to support local.

Every duck is being brined before being dry-aged, and despite using only the breast, the meat was unbelievably tender. Before being served, the chef dries the skin of the duck with a hair dryer-like industrial dryer to give the skin a little crisp. We would totally go back to table65 for this stellar dish!

Ending with a bang was the Apple, Salted Caramel, Puff Pastry & Walnut dessert that was so aesthetically-pleasing, we couldn’t believe our eyes when we first saw it! Constructed with precision, the shape of the apple is really a sugar bubble that breaks upon hitting it gently with a spoon. That is how delicate it is! The “core” of the apple is fresh apple sorbet, and the “seeds” are chocolate. How incredibly creative of the dessert chef, huh!

Our bellies were so happy and we returned back to our Suite feeling mighty pleased with our stay thus far. Oh, before we forget, this festive dinner also comes with 2 glasses of complimentary champagne when you book the 2D1N Joyous Stay-In package at Resorts World Sentosa. Perfect!

Wake up to an intimate breakfast experience at a restaurant within Equarius Hotel. Choose from International and Continental Breakfast sets, and welcome the day with a hearty start.

Take a dip in one of the nicest swimming pools in Singapore. This huge pool at Beach Villas is open to all Equarius Hotel guests, and it is truly a tranquil space. Frolicking in the pool was the perfect end to our staycay, and we really can’t wait to be back!

2D1N Joyous Stay-In Package at Resorts World Sentosa from S$538++

Check in to your choice of luxury hotel at Resorts World Sentosa from now until 2 Jan 2022 and indulge yourselves with an included fine dining meal to celebrate at some of the star restaurants including contemporary Japanese cuisine, MICHELIN-Star mod-European fare and more.

All hail Singapore’s official KITKAT® cakes! Local cake boutique Bob The Baker Boy has launched a very exciting collaboration with the household favourite chocolate brand with a series of baked goodies made with KITKAT®, and they got everyone in the team salivating. We were all looking forward to the day of the delivery!

And the cakes totally lived up to our expectations. We know we can always trust Bob The Baker Boy. They are a stalwart in customized cakes and over-the-top birthday cakes, and they are also our family’s go-to bakery whenever we need a cake or two for occasions and celebrations.

Actually, we always tell ourselves we don’t need a reason to eat cakes. With this new collaboration with KITKAT®, this mentality is perfect because birthday or not, have a break, have a KITKAT® cake by Bob The Baker Boy!

Bob The Baker Boy’s collaboration with KITKAT® comprises an entire menu of sweet treats made with KITKAT® professional spread. The line-up is a delectable one that includes cakes, tarts, brownies and muffins – there will surely be something for everyone.

Mini Cake made with KITKAT® (S$59.90)

This is the star of the menu. A mini cake is a perfect idea since big parties aren’t allowed now, and the 6-inch cake means we can still indulge in the sweet treat even if it’s just a party for two! Made with Bob The Baker Boy’s signature 55% chocolate sponge, layered with KITKAT® spread, fresh Chantilly made with KITKAT® spread, and complete with KITKAT® bites all over the cake, this is a true treat for all KITKAT® lovers.

It may sound cloyingly sweet, but to begin with, Bob The Baker Boy’s cakes are made with less sugar, so the flavours are actually very palatable and the addition of the KITKAT® spread is really a lovely elevation.

Happiness Bake Box made with KITKAT® (S$28.90)

This little box of treats makes a cute gift! It is like a treasure box of goodies - Uji Matcha Passionfruit Tart, Chocolate Ganache Tart made with KITKAT® spread, Baked Cream Cheese Brownie made with Matcha KITKAT® fingers, Au Naturel Brownie topped with KITKAT® crumble and Moist KITKAT® Chocolate Muffins.

Yes, all for S$28.90! The Chocolate Ganache Tart was our favourite. With a buttery chocolate tart base, this sweet treat is made with KITKAT® wafer spread and filled with premium Chantilly cream, then topped with KITKAT® bites mix-ins. It is like an explosion of sweetness in your mouth first, then the wonderful bittersweet taste of the 55% chocolate will set in and the sweetness is balanced out.

All these KITKAT® keep well in the refrigerator for 2 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh on the day of delivery. This limited menu will be available exclusively on Bob The Baker Boy until mid-January 2022.

Don’t know what to eat and have no groceries at home? Instant noodles will always be the answer.

We are regular instant noodles consumers and we will never get bored of eating instant noodles, because there are a million and one ways to enjoy that convenience. Be it Chinese style or Thai, spicy or not, instant noodles are a comfort food and always warms our hearts.

Some days, we may run out of ingredients in our kitchen but that’s ok, we can always count on pandamart by foodpanda to deliver our groceries and essentials in 30mins. We share 5 simple instant noodle recipes that we can create with groceries available via pandamart. Convenient and fast, pandamart is a life saver when you want to enjoy instant noodles but are feeling fancy and want to ‘zhng‘ them up.

On pandamart that is parked in the “shops” category on the foodpanda app, you can shop for groceries and household essentials, and have them delivered to you in as fast as 30mins. Just a few clicks and whatever you need will be delivered to your doorstep – without having you leave your house.

We are converts and have been loyal users of pandamart, especially on days when we’ve got a feast to prepare but we lack certain ingredients, yet are too lazy to head to the supermarket. pandamart has all the essentials your kitchen would need – from fruits and veggies, dairy products and snacks, to toiletries and cleaning supplies.

There are days when we just want a quick instant noodles meal but do not have supplies at home, but with pandamart, we can whip up so many variations of instant noodles! We decided to comb through the app, and created these 5 simple recipes – with every ingredient bought from pandamart. Zhng-ing up our instant noodles had never been more fun!

KOREAN BUDAE JJIGAE

Budae Jjigae is our all-time favourite comfort food! The one-pot goodness can be easily prepped with the simplest of ingredients. The key is getting the soup right, and the traditional way may take quite a bit of effort, but the cheat code is using a good brand of instant noodles.

We used Nongshim Ramyun Korean Budae Jjigae as our base and it is the best version we can find so far! We made our army stew with Lotte Premium Luncheon Meat, Gourmet White Button Mushrooms, The Silly Greens Oyster Mushrooms, and Tradition Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.

ABALONE CHICKEN NOODLES

We never thought chicken instant noodles could taste this good until we tried A1 Abalone Noodle on pandamart! It may be on the pricier side but it is totally worth it. The soup is super fragrant, and it comes with real baby abalones.

We amped it up with Hego Chicken Drumettes and The Silly Greens Baby Kailan. So hearty, and our tummies were warm and happy after the elevated bowl of chicken noodles soup.

THAI TOMYUM SEAFOOD NOODLES

How to say no to a bowl of spicy tomyum noodles?

We used the Myojo Instant Noodles Thai Tom Yum to create an easy bowl of happiness, made better with Serve Vannamei Peeled Prawns, BoBo Big Flat Fishcake and The Silly Greens Romaine Lettuce.

HK-STYLE GONG ZAI MIN

To satisfy our cravings for Hong Kong-style gong zai min in Singapore, we will always turn to NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding instant noodles – also readily available on pandamart. NISSIN’s Chu Qian Yi Ding comes in several variations.

The one we like is the Sesame Oil flavour because it comes with an aromatic sesame oil flavour and it is the closest to what you can get in Hong Kong. To make it even better, we fried premium gourmet Garlic Sausages from Johnsonville, and topped our bowl of noodles off with a sunny side-up. Ho sek ah!

JAPANESE KYUSHU RAMEN

Recreating a simple bowl of kyushu ramen can be done with just three ingredients – Nissin Kyushu Black Instant Noodles, BoBo Crabstick and Serve Scallops.

Just put everything into a pot and bring to a boil; your fragrant and flavourful bowl of Japanese ramen will be ready in 5mins.

All the ingredients listed in this post are available on pandamart – subject to availability. Do note that the meat & seafood are only available at select stores.

No more panicking when you need to whip up a meal with limited time; just a few clicks on pandamart and your order will be sent to your doorstep as fast as 30mins. Our lives have been changed forever with this convenience and we can never live without pandamart anymore. #truestory
