Thanks to our multi-cultural and multi-racial society, there are many Halal cafes in Singapore. Among them, we see a significant bulk of exceptional Muslim-owned and halal-certified cafes out there, that are more than worthy of recognition.
Here is our guide to Halal cafes in Singapore. You never know, you could be looking at your next favourite cafe hang-out.
alice + olivia is my muse. I am a huge fan of New York-based designer Stacey Bendet, for she is one inspiring woman who leads a fulfilling life with her family, yoga, and colourful fashion. It is one of those brands that would have me willingly splurge on, because what is to not love about her iconic monochromatic stripes and Stace Face, right?
And today, a piece of news got me really excited – alice + olivia is collaborating with local Japanese-inspired cafe Karafuru desserts! Damn those whimsical tea sets; I am so going gaga already!
From 09 Dec 2015 to 31 Jan 2016, Karafuru desserts will have its interiors decked in alice + olivia colours and styles, and you bet that is going to be nothing but fascinating.
Yes, it is the time of the year again for one of our favourite Christmas buffets. PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s Plaza Brasserie is ready to fill us up again! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves last year and all the meats were just so crazily amazing. Remember? They had the BEST turkey in 2014!
Executive Chef Jackson Goh and team never fail to impress, and this year, they will be dishing out a range of fusion dishes with both local and international flavours. Festive celebrations can be palate-friendly and the traditional folks can, too, indulge.

2015 is coming to an end, and with that, we celebrate a year of amazing food and also fresh new trends that have landed on our sunny island. Of course, trends come and go but the really good ones shall stay on.
In this piece, we explore the trends that have invaded Singapore this year. The rubrics are simple – a) Photogenic and hence, hyped up on social media, b) more than one store riding on the trend, c) so delicious and/ or innovative that it is no surprise they are labeled as a ‘trend’.
Here are 13 Food Trends in Singapore in 2015 that you probably already know about. We pay homage to some of the best food that graced our nation this year.
While strolling down a less populated part of Bangkok, we stumbled upon a small and quirky cafe – Bangkoku Cafe, which immediately sparked our interest. Located just beside one of Bangkok’s most popular old-school barbers – Good Old Days Barber Shop – we were delighted by the cosy cafe’s reasonably priced drinks.
Sprawled on the walls are various menu items, from typical coffee to some very interesting alcoholic cocktails. Although this cafe has a limited food menu of a few cakes and sweet treats, the great drinks were enough to keep us happy.
With so many overly-publicised big cafes in Bangkok, it was nice to see a simple and humble cafe like Bangkoku Cafe.
Are you still searching for festive takeaways and gifts? Resorts World Sentosa might have your answer with their list of Christmas goodies. Whether they are turkeys or world-class desserts from Joël Robuchon Restaurant, Resorts World Sentosa has lots to offer for a splendid dinner ahead.
This year, Joël Robuchon Restaurant has specially created the La Bûche Baname Chocolat (S$90+, 1/2kg) – a log cake made of Cacao shortbread, chocolate lightness and caramelised bananas.
Coffee-lovers would be no stranger to this name – Dutch Colony Coffee Co. This specialised coffee house has two outlets in Singapore – at Pasarbella and Frankel Avenue.
Since its opening, we’ve visited the Frankel Avenue outlet a few times and definitely loving it! The interior is lovely and casual, perfect to relax over some coffee while catching up on a latest book, and to simply stay away from the world.
Dutch Colony Coffee Co. at Frankel Avenue is surely one great coffee haunt in the East of Singapore.
