For those who are looking for more local-inspired flavours, there are also options such as Chilli Lobster (S$58++) and Lobster Noodle (S$58++). The former is like our local Chilli Crab but instead of crabs, you got that right, lobsters are used; the latter consists of wok-fried egg noodles with ginger, scallion and house-made chilli oil.

Making a restaurant reservation sounds like a foreign thing to do here in Singapore, but it is a huge trend in Western countries. Getting a table at the popular and best restaurants are usually tough when you do a walk-in, and that is why everyone relies on prior reservations to guarantee their seats.

And we are really heartened to see this trend taking flight in Singapore. There are aplenty restaurant reservation options, and even more reasons why we should pick up this habit. For one, we have recently implemented HungryGoWhere Online Reservations on our website, and you may have noticed the red box at the end of posts that feature participating merchants.

HungryGoWhere Online Reservations (book.hungrygowhere.com) is a really useful system and one that we trust, and we share with you the various reasons why you should use it too.

#1 HUNGRYGOWHERE ONLINE RESERVATIONS IS FREE TO BOOK

Yes, first and most important point to ease everyone’s curiosity – it is completely free when you make your reservations online. Well, unless you consider time as an opportunity cost. But that would make your time well spent because you get your confirmation instantly. Which brings us to our next point.

#2 INSTANT CONFIRMATION OF YOUR RESTAURANT BOOKING

Remember how you tried to call that supposedly awesome French restaurant and nobody picked up your hundred and one calls, and you ended up not having a table when you walked in, and all of a sudden that place does not seem all too awesome anymore? You will never get this if you use HungryGoWhere Online Reservations, because for as long as there is an availability, you are guaranteed an instant confirmation. We are definitely thankful we need not go through all that incessant calling again.

#3 THERE WON’T BE ANY MISTAKES WITH YOUR RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS

And because it is such a smart system, there will be no mistakes at all. No cases of double booking and having to leave the restaurant disappointed, no cases of a missing chair when you had clearly told the host through the phone that you’d need a table for x instead of a table for y.

#4 THE ONLINE BOOKING RESERVATION SYSTEM IS USER-FRIENDLY

The interface is one that is really user-friendly, and the number of clicks is really minimal. You do not need to spend an hour trying to figure the system; neither do you need to fill in a survey-like form. Just pick a date, select the number of diners, and provide the mandatory contact details. Any special requests may be put in to facilitate the restaurant’s preparation for your arrival. It is that simple and straight to the point.

#5 BOOK A TABLE WITH THE HOTTEST RESTAURANTS IN TOWN

HungryGoWhere Online Reservations has a comprehensive list of merchants for you to make your reservations with. Just look out for the red box at the end of each post here on ladyironchef.com, and upon clicking, it brings you directly to the booking page. And the list is always expanding, so there will be no lack of dining outlets for you to secure a table or two with.

HungryGoWhere Online Reservations is rewarding its users with The Booker’s Banquet. Each month, two lucky bookers and five friends per booker will each win an incredible dining experience specially crafted by the head chefs at two top-notch restaurants.

To be the lucky winner each month, pick a restaurant from over 550 restaurants on HungryGoWhere Online Reservations, make your reservation and share your booking on Facebook and Twitter to increase your chances of winning. In short, the more booking you make, the higher your chances of winning.
