Chef Robin Ho is no stranger in the local food & beverage scene. He is the current group executive chef of the Prive Group, and he has previously helmed the kitchens of Les Amis Restaurants, and The Marmalade Group of restaurants.
And for one, he sure knows a thing or two about steaks. We sat down with him to discuss about the different cuts and some of the things to look out for when you are cooking steak at home.
Here are 5 tips for cooking the perfect steak.
Located directly opposite Liang Court in The Foothills, The Fabulous Baker Boy is a cosy and homely space where you can go for an intimate gathering with friends or a quiet dinner with your partner. The prices here are reasonable. You can get a Beef Pastrami Sandwich for $10, while main course such as pies and pastas are below $20. Plus, they have very good home-style cakes.
Tiong Bahru is one of the oldest residential estates in Singapore. But in recent times, it has undergone a renaissance; the area is probably the hippest neighbourhood in Singapore right now. It all started with the opening of a coffee joint and an indie book store along Yong Siak Street. The rest, as they say, is history.
Here is a guide to Tiong Bahru’s restaurants, bars, cafes and shops.

Fastfood chain Jollibee is opening its first store in Singapore at Lucky Plaza on 12 March. This popular fastfood chain from Philippines will be serving its signature fried chicken, Chickenjoy, Yumburger and meaty Jollibee Spaghetti.
Jollibee currently has 872 branches across South East Asia, the Middle East and North America. The outlet at level 6 of Lucky Plaza in Orchard Road can seat up to 300 people. So, if you are a fan of their fried chicken, remember to drop by next week.
Boston, one of the oldest cities in the United States, is so charmingly beautiful. Every street and every corner has something so alluring that it is indescribable.
Here are some recommended activities and places for you to visit in Boston: A freedom trail that covers 16 significant historical sites, a well-known seafood restaurant that sells Boston’s best clam chowder, a café that has collaborated with 13 other top chefs, a bustling local marketplace that opens till nighttime and a shop that sells amazing cupcakes. I only spent a few days in Boston but memories of it will be etched in my mind, forever.

Au Chocolat, opened by the folks behind Ku De Ta and Catalunya, occupies a huge space at a corner of Marina Bay Sands. It is divided into two sections: a retail confectionery store where you can find all sorts of delicious snacks – such as slice cakes, cupcakes, gelato, truffle – and fun merchandise. The other half is the bistro which has an all-day dining menu.
We have been to Au Chocolat many times, and tried quite a few items from the bistro and confectionery. Here are some of the highlights.
I am a firm believer that staying in a good hotel completes the travel experience. Of course, quality comes at a price and many people would baulk at paying so much for a room. But when you get to enjoy the hotel’s amenities and have a good night’s rest, you will understand that the money is well-spent.
For me, one of the places to stay in Hong Kong has to be Intercontinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong. The location of the 5-star hotel makes it a favourite among businessmen and leisure travellers. It is positioned on the fringe of Tsim Sha Tsui and is within walking distance – just a 10 minutes walk to East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station – to the shopping, business and entertainment districts. Furthermore, the hotel offers breathtaking views of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.
