Pint & Curries by Bar Bar Black Sheep

by / No Comments

Pint & Curries

What does “Pint & Curries” sound like? You might be thinking about a hundred fancy stories, but it really is beer and Northern Indian food – favourites that are ever comforting.

When we were in London last year, we chanced upon several dining establishments that please their crowds with good beer and curries, and it is recognised as a lifestyle to watch your matches while indulging in two of life’s best pleasures. What may sound like a lethal combination is really not that potent, because as with wine pairing, beers can be paired to complement our favourite food, too!

Pint & Curries Clarke Quay

This year, the folks behind the highly popular Bar Bar Black Sheep have launched this very concept right here in Singapore. Nestled in the heart of Clarke Quay, Pint & Curries offers an affordable supper menu of North-Indian curries and well-loved crafted beers.

Party-ing at Clarke Quay will never be the same again. Be gone, hungry nights and empty stomachs. Pint & Curries is a great late night dining option in Singapore, and your best bet and pit stop when you need a hearty supper in between drinking, and its superb location calls for no driving (and being stopped for the breathalyser tests!)

Here are some of our picks:

PISCO South American Kitchen & Bar Singapore

by / 4 comments

PISCO

Very often, we are strapped of choices when it comes to dining at tourists’ attractions. The restaurants are either too expensive, or the food just isn’t good altogether. Sometimes, they are not family-friendly, and kids have nothing suitable to eat. But being here in Singapore means we do not have to worry about all that, because we have trusty establishments to always bring the bests to us.

PISCO RWS

The newly opened PISCO South American Kitchen & Bar at Resorts World Sentosa is one that has made it to our chart of best family-friendly restaurants. Managed by Deliciae Hospitality Management in partnership with Resorts World Sentosa, this 76-seat outlet sits in the heart of the Integrated Resort.

Dishing out quality South American food, PISCO resembles a carnival – the happy colours of the interior and furnishing make it a joy to dine at, and has an extensive menu that is sure to whet everyone’s appetite. Here are some of their signatures, and our favourites from the menu.

Planning for your stay in Cinque Terre Italy

by / 4 comments

Cinque Terre Vernazza

When we were planning for our trip to Cinque Terre, one of the challenges was deciding on where to stay. Choosing your accommodation in Cinque Terre depends on several factors: budget, objective of the trip, time of visit, and where you are coming from or heading to.

While becoming a very popular tourists’ destination, Cinque Terre remains traditional and primitive in many ways. There is almost no sign of first world technology, neither should you expect any form of luxury and convenience. But this is precisely what reiterates the essence of Cinque Terre, and every climb to the next terrace speaks of an unadulterated joy that hikers and all other visitors indulge in; the feeling of overlooking the Ligurian Sea that is dotted with colourful villages is a priceless reward, and one experience so humbling that it is little wonder people from all over the world flock to this star of Italy for a vacation. Here is a guide on planning for your stay in Cinque Terre, including the pros and cons of staying at each village.

Paris in 48 Hours for First Timers

by / 3 comments

Paris Guide

Paris is always a good idea. There is something magical about the City of Love; an irresistible charm, an inexplicable beauty. Every turn is a surprise, and every corner is picturesque. Taking a trip to Paris is akin to picking up an international best-selling novel – with every chapter, you get sucked in even more, and you never want to put the book down; you only want to read on. It is like a never-ending quest to reach the ends of the city, and the only wish is for time to stand still so that you can be lost in this awe-inspiring spot on the globe.

Exploring Paris was an exhilarating experience for us, and apart from the language barrier that had us stuck in several situations and left us to communicate via sign languages, our week at Paris was nothing short of fulfilling. For first timers to the city, here are some of the things that you can do and see when you have 48 hours in Paris.

Pete’s Place Sunday Italian Prosecco Brunch

by / Comment (1)

Pete's Place

What’s better than Italian food? An Italian Sunday brunch with free flow of wine and prosecco, of course! One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Singapore, Pete’s Place at Grand Hyatt Singapore presents its Sunday Italian Prosecco Brunch (S$58++ with selected juices and coffee/tea, S$82++ for free flow of house red/white wine, prosecco, Tiger draft beer and Campari cocktails).

As soon as we stepped in to the charming restaurant located at the basement of Grand Hyatt Singapore, we knew it was going to be a good meal. Checkered table cloth, brick walls, wine cellars, and an impressive buffet spread welcomed us. It did not take us long to fall in love with this hidden gem in town that radiates an undeniable rustic enchantment.

Pete's Place Sunday Brunch

Your feast begins at the fresh seafood section – dig in to crabs, mussels, prawns, scallops and freshly shucked oysters. Equally enticing was the cold cuts station, where we indulged in salamis, ham and endless servings of freshly shaved prosciutto with rock melon. The mains include chickan cacciatore, deep fried calamari, braised beef cheeks, and the very addictive squid ink gnocchi. Pasta lovers who cannot do without your first course will also be treated to freshly prepared pasta-of-the-day.

Wait, we haven’t mentioned that there are also freshly baked pizzas from the wood-fired oven, have we? But save some tummy space for the carving station where roasted beef sirloin and lamb leg await us. For something less heavy, there is also an oven baked whole barramundi.

We were also blown away by the dessert offerings at Pete’s Place. Chocolate pistachio cake, black forest cake, cheese cake, almond biscotti, mango mousse; Viva la dolce vita! But the tiramisu completely stole the show. It was one of the better tiramisu that we have had in Singapore, and we would come back to Pete’s Place just for this. The rocky road was also exceptional. The Sunday brunch also comes with a selection of quality homemade Italian gelato – quite the perfect ending to a marvellous Sunday.

Pezzo Pizza Singapore

Pezzo Pizza

Pezzo Pizza brings freshly made pizzas served by the slice just like the pizza joints in the Big Apple – New York City. It is affordable and convenient making it the perfect pick-me-up lunch, snack or dinner to hit the spot and satisfy your pizza cravings.

What I love about Pezzo is its consistently strong sense of identity. The Pezzo brand is all about delivering a carnival in every bite no matter the occasion. From its website www.pezzo.com.sg, to the whimsical logo and packaging of the pizza boxes as well as the store decor – Pezzo is all about being bright, cheerful, fun and on top of it all tasty.

Pezzo Christmas Pizza

While crowd favourites are the usual suspects like the classic Pepperoni Party, Hola Hawaiian and local flavour Sambal Ikan Bilis, the ones that had us particularly salivating were the Hot Chick and Chicken Delight. The former is a flavourful combination of spicy chicken strips, cheddar & mozzarella, green & red peppers, and topped with a special punchy chili sauce. The Chicken Delight, on the other hand, leans towards the healthier-side with toppings of chicken breast strips, onions, mushrooms and turkey bacon.

Also make sure to grab a slice of the Ho Ho Hola Hawaiian which has been specially created for Christmas this year! With a wide selection of over 20 flavours, it is always a new and exciting experience at Pezzo. A slice of pizza is affordably-priced at S$4.50, while a whole pizza of 6 slices is S$24.90.

Pezzo has 13 easily accessible pizza-by-the-slice kiosks island-wide and 6 of them are delivery stores perfect for those who want to throw a pizza party. The kiosks are all located in key locations, including Ion Orchard, JEM, The Arcade, The Star Vista, Bedok Mall, as well as a dine-in outlet at Woodlands Exchange. Click here for the list of Pezzo’s kiosk locations.

Call +65 6665 6565 for pizza delivery or visit www.pezzo.com.sg for more details.
