Tanjong Beach Club (TBC) by the Lo & Behold Group is the perfect place to escape from the city and enjoy a day of sun, sand and sea. It has a restaurant (The Dining Room), a bar and a pool facing the beach.

The Dining Room at Tanjong Beach Club offers a unique beach dining experience, and after dinner, you can laze by the pool and enjoy a Tanjong Martini with truffle fries. The beach house at Sentosa is modern, sexy and definitely the place to see and be seen.

The crowd at Tanjong Beach Club is quite diverse. From the beach goers in cargo shorts, bikinis and flip flops, lazing by the pool side during the weekends; to young working executives on a romantic dinner date; to well-heeled cliente with an appreciation for the finer things in life – there is a good mix of crowd.

Since it was a Friday night, we had a glass of champagne each. Actually, even if it wasn’t a Friday night, I’d still have a glass of champagne.

As usual, we had a hard time trying to decide on the dishes. So we took the easy way out and asked for recommendations. On my own, I probably would not order a salad, but the Bean Salad ($19) came highly recommended so we started with that.

We followed up with the Salt-cured Foie Gras ($27), which I thought was pretty cool. The goose liver was served with toasted brioche, kaya and house-made jam. Eaten together, the cold foie gras combination was quite amazing. But I would very much prefer to have pan seared foie gras.

The best, however, had yet to come – we had the freaking awesome truffle fries. Having heard so much about Tanjong Beach Club’s popular bar snack – which my friend proclaimed as the best truffle fries in Singapore – I wasn’t prepared to leave the place without trying it.

The bar menu isn’t available in the dining room, and vice versa. Still, we managed to convince the waitress to serve us the truffle fries while waiting for the rest of the appetisers to be served.

The dining room at Tanjong Beach Club has a good mix for its main course menu. We were tempted by the Crispy Atlantic Cod ($42) and the Spicy Crab Spaghetti ($32); while the Roasted Kurobuta Pork ($43) and Asparagus Risotto ($26) also called out to us. We eventually settled for the Maine Lobster Pot Pie ($58) and USDA Prime New York Strip Steak ($58).

Encased by flaky pastry crust, the lobster pot pie was quite a visual treat for the senses. We watched as the waitress poked a hole into the crust and unearthed the lobster from within. It was like digging for treasure!

The USDA Prime New York Strip Steak ($58) came with potato puree, roasted mushroom, and smoked eggplant. It was a gorgeous piece of meat, but unfortunately, it was way too salty.

We used the elimination method to choose our desserts. Since we weren’t keen on the Mixed Berry Bowl and ice cream, it was down to the Coconut Panna Cotta ($14), Chocolate Ganache Tart ($16) and Tea & Honey Parfeit ($14). We decided to leave the Panna Cotta for another day and had the other two desserts to end off the meal.

I thought that the Chocolate Ganache Tart – which was accompanied by salted candied hazelnuts, butterscotch sauce and vanilla bean ice cream – was pretty fabulous.

The Tea & Honey Parfeit ($14) came in a pretty glass of earl grey crémeux, honey ice cream, house-made honeycomb and chocolate crisp.

The Dining Room at Tanjong Beach Club (TBC) is a great option if you want a nice romantic dinner away from the city. The food is not out-of-this-world good, so don’t come here expecting a life-changing experience. Instead, come here if you want a unique beach-dining experience. The TBC, is after all, one of the few Beach restaurants in Singapore.

I will definitely go back for brunch during weekends.

Singapore has many cool and happening places where you can chill out with your friends and people watch at the same time.

Here’s a list of the must See and Be Seen Restaurants in Singapore.

Somebody might call them the coolest restaurants to eat in, or even go to the extent of claiming that they are the most happening places in Singapore to people watch. Others might raise an eyebrow at the pretentious atas restaurants. Oh whatever. They are the must-go places in Singapore!

Ku De Ta

The classy rooftop venue is the definitely the latest place to see and be seen. When you have such a stunning view of the city’s skyline at the top of Marina Bay Sands, with the help a glass of champagne, anything can happen. Ku De Ta is the best place to have a cocktail, chill out with your friends and feast your eyes on good-looking people.

KPO Cafe & Bar

Housed in the former Killiney Post Office, KPO (named for its location at the junctions of Killiney, Penang and Orchard Road) is a two-storey cafe and bar that is known for its ‘happening’ crowd, and the flashy cars parked in front.

Definitely one of the most popular watering holes in Singapore for sipping a martini and people-watch.

Lantern Rooftop Bar

At the top of Fullerton Bay Hotel, is the Lantern Bar – one of the best rooftop bars in Singapore. The proximity to the Central Business District makes it a popular after work drinks venue in Singapore. Remember to try their truffle fries when you are there.

For many years now, Marmalade Pantry has been the de-facto meeting place for ladies to have a luxurious high tea. Celebrities are often seen at Marmalade Pantry too. Fancy a cupcake while ‘star-gazing’ and people-watching?

Mimo Kitchen & Bar (Formerly Mimolette)

The location beside a saddle club makes Mimo Kitchen & Bar (previously known as Mimolette restaurant) the ideal getaway from the city for brunch on weekends.

When night falls, Mimo Bar transforms into one of the hippest night clubs in town where people let their hair down and groove to the music. The place is extremely popular during special occasions like Christmas Eve & New Year’s Eve.

Eating is a national hobby in Singapore. It goes without saying that we have many fantastic restaurants. When it comes to eating out, I have two preferred kinds of restaurants. The first is just about food. Service and ambience are not important so long they give me good food.

And of course, the other is all about the ambience. Everyone should spoil themselves a little by celebrating a special occasion in a romantic restaurant. You know, the kind of place where you can bring your partner for a nice date, and have a wonderful dining experience. Luckily for us, there are many romantic restaurants in Singapore with good ambience and view.

Here’s a list of Singapore’s top restaurants with the best romantic views:

Let’s dine with a view!

1-Altitude

With 360-degree sky dining view, the latest creation of the 1 Rochester Group, 1-Altitude is definitely a strong contender for the restaurant with the best view in Singapore. Looking for a place to party after work? Check out the world’s tallest al fresco rooftop bar 1-Altitude.

Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant

In order to get to level 60 of UOB Plaza where Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant is, you need to change two lifts, but trust me, the magnificent view up there is worth the extra effort.

They have an Imperial High Tea (pairing of 3 different tea and 8 dim sum items) which is ideal for a leisure afternoon. With a great view and the indulgence of tea pairing with dim sum, this is definitely one of the best afternoon tea places in Singapore.
