​​​​​​​Jam at Siri House

​​​​​​​ Jam at Siri House

Dining at Siri House has its perks. You are going to be welcomed by a luxurious, yet intimate 42 seater condominium with a diverse range of furniture and blinding lights which come from beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Apart from being one of the most sought after restaurants, it also happens to hoard a wide array of artefacts and goods that you can buy. Be it starters or mains, it is going to be a jam on your next date at the Siri House. Even though the menu is a little straightforward, comfort levels are as high as the skyscrapers of the city of Singapore. Some signature dishes to check include the pappardelle which is a dish comprising a mix of prawns and lobsters coupled with a gooey bisque sauce toppled over some pasta, and the perfectly balanced flavours of the unagi risotto which comes with tangy daikon and smoky unagi which work perfectly with the creaminess of the risotto. Image Credit: Jam at Siri House Facebook Page

Zafferano

Zafferano Italian restaurant & Lounge​​​​​​​

Elevate your date at half past 8 at the one and only Zafferano, where digging into delicious delicacies by the Michelin starred chef Andrea De Paola while taking in astounding views of the Marina Bay from the 43rd floor is a regular affair. Hailing from the Metropolitan City of Naples, he is exceptionally innovative and carries a mound of experience under his Chef’s hat. His knack for creativity is evident from the trio of snacks which involves the use of ingredients which would otherwise have met an unfortunate, stale end. Salty crisps are sprinkled with cheese rind and accompanied with shredded ham to give the diners some good gourmet gratification. Image Credit: Zafferano Facebook Page

Rappu

Rappu

It’s not a lesser-known fact that speed gives you the thrills! The Japanese handroll bar, Rappu is evidence of that. Here, customers are encouraged to finish their food within 4 seconds in order to ensure maximum enjoyment.  It is said that music makes us eat in a different way. There are various studies that indicate that listening to music while eating is likely to increase our food and drink intake. So be it wraps or rap, Rappu is the place to be! The jukebox at Rappu has an exhaustive list of rap music, right from the Wu-Tang Clan to Kendrick Lamar. So groove away to some phat rap music while you cram down sushi rolls faster than the SSC Tuatara! The show stopper of this space is the 36 seater sushi bar where food is prepared out in the open for everyone to see. While the list is not exhaustive, the over the top creation loaded with wagyu, uni and caviar is not one to miss. Image Credit: RAPPU Handroll Bar Facebook Page

The Dragon Chamber

The Dragon Chamber

The Dragon Chamber is as mysterious as The Chamber of Secrets in Harry Potter. The reason: it is almost impossible to find. Believe it or not, it’ll seem like you’re stepping into a refrigerator, for that is the real entrance to the restaurant once you get past the innocuous kopitiam serving roasted meat and wonton noodles. However, the quest is still not done. Once you step inside, you will witness a vibe akin to hideouts of old gang members of Hong Kong. No the adventure does not end there! The Chamber is infamous for using some of the most bizarre ingredients known to mankind. So this is the place to be if you want your Valentine’s Day to be memorable in more ways than one. The Dragon Claw tastes as menacing as it looks. A flaming crocodile paw marinated in herbal sauce is a treat for the eyes and the mouth. The chef at The Dragon Chamber seems to have an affinity for pyrotechnics. The Theatrical Flaming Pineapple Beef comes with nicely chopped up pieces of beef inside a pineapple blazed with a flame torch, making it a sight for sore eyes. Double the crazy with the Dick soup if you’re feeling a little too adventurous, where herbs are simmered with the genital organs of a male crocodile for more than six hours. That being said, there’s something for the less daring too. Delicious signature dishes like the Cheeseburger Firecracker Chicken and Wagyu Truffle Beef are readily available. Image Credit: The Dragon Chamber Facebook Page

PS. Cafe by the Sea at East Coast Park

PS.Cafe at East Coast Park

For everyone who wants to be close to nature, this is the place to be, for it is located by the seaside where people can hear the sound of waves crashing on the seashore mingled with distant cries of seagulls. Besides, the latest outlet of PS. Cafe by the beach doesn’t make sense for this restaurant to be located by the beach and not specialize in seafood delicacies. The chargrilled octopus where pork is replaced by the eight-legged wonder in a char siew dish, some hot and spicy Singapore chilli crabs and prawns coupled with mantou and fried rice, some mouth-watering lemongrass mussel and clam spaghetti, and the filling chorizo and calamari stew served with bread to suck all the sauce up are a few delightful dishes that the cafe has to offer. Over and above all of these, you can also order some of the signature dishes that other PS. Cafe outlets have to offer like the succulent Tiger Beer battered fish and chips, famous truffle shoestring fries and the decadent and gooey sticky date pudding. Image Credit: PS.Cafe at East Coast Park Facebook Page

The Alkaff Mansion

The Alkaff Mansion

This mansion was first erected in the 1920s by Yemeni spice traders, and it was later reconstructed to host not one but three dining concepts at once. Whether you’re looking for a variety of appetizers coupled with drinks, some decadent pastries and cakes for the ultimate sugar rush, or some Basque inspired favourites like the Paella de Marisco, the restaurants at The Alkaff Mansion will not disappoint you. Head over to the Txa Pintxo bar up the flight of stairs and beyond the fountain court, for some of the most appetizing tiny bites of food, or skip that and dive straight into the “dessert islands” at Wildseed Café where the weekend brunch can culminate into a romantic affair out in the yard with your partner. Besides, the beautiful second-floor staircases will take you to Una where head Chef Tom Kung and his team won’t let you go hungry with some mouthwatering favourites from the menu. Image Credit: The Alkaff Mansion Facebook Page

Preludio

Preludio

Since this restaurant is helmed by Chef Fernando Arévalo, there is no dearth of abstract concepts here. In the first few months after the inauguration of Preludio, his team was challenged to put together theme based cuisines; the first of many was Monochrome. This dichotomous wonder was followed by Time. It doesn’t matter if it’s lunch or dinner; Fernando is famous for brewing ideas in multiple, creative ways and those dishes can be found on the menu card. It is said that time is the most valuable thing a man can spend- well, Preludio is a classic example of that. The concept of time is used to brew and stew some of the most unique dishes that one can ever imagine. Flavourful rye bread with fermented mushrooms glazed with some thick gooey honey bacon topped with sweet umami is a real stunner. Wine connoisseur Chip Steel works almost like a history professor, documenting the lineage of grapes to make concoctions of a different age every time. This is not even the show stopper though. The Time Machine (as it is rightly called) is a complex 5 course meal comprising bite sized treats which require different times to prepare. Scallop ceviche is prepared with fresh and zesty piquant Leche de Tigre (a citrusy spicy marinade used to cure fish) and corn water for an hour. Garlic is fermented for almost a month and topped with fresh basil pesto and some crunchy purple potato. Image Credit: Preludio Website

Publico Ristorante

Publico

Situated along the grand Robertson Quay, the Publico Ristorante stands out among many other eateries, probably because the restaurant is an Italian getaway in itself. Not only the food, but even the interiors are reminiscent of the towns in Italy with their audacious granite floors inside or monstrous green walls which also function as vertical gardens if you care to grab a seat outdoors. People can even choose for a romantic vibe inside with cosy and comfortable lighting and windows that start on the floor and go on to kiss the ceiling with the terrace by the riverside being the spectator. Some of Italy’s finest cuisines have made it to the list at Publico Ristorante. Calamari and cauliflower fritti, housemade pasta, wood fire pizza of Margherita and prosciutto are some of the many delicacies that grace the menu here. Brunch at the Publico Ristorante is an “egg-citing affair”, also with an Italian twist! The fixed Brunch menu features seven special creations. Food is given an artsy twist at the live station where chefs scramble through years of experience to whisk some of the most heavenly dishes of various styles. Some key highlights on the menu include the classic Publico Prima Dona, with fluffy poached eggs on meaty prosciutto with rockets, the Egg White Cloud, with buoyant egg whites on top of delicious, crunchy sourdough bread with a dash of Dukkah, Frittata with subtle embellishments of pumpkin and kale, an interesting take on scrambled eggs- these are served with fresh truffles on top to give it a nice, garlicky fragrance, or the classic Omelette swimming in some rich, velvety béchamel, bacon and parmesan. Image Credit: Publico Facebook Page​​​​​​​

The Summerhouse

​​​​​​​The Summerhouse

This one is for all the health buffs out there. Buying local produce from Australian and Malaysian farms is encouraged here at the Summerhouse, thereby promoting local vendors and keeping it simple. Food is decorated with fresh herbs plucked from the gardens inside the property. This along with some of the most romantic dining options that the city of Singapore can offer makes this spot the perfect one for you to go down on one knee. Choose to dine in the main restaurant located on the second floor of the bungalow or book one of the three domes centred around different themes to dine in which is a foolproof way of making your partner fall in love with you.

Buona Terra

Buona Terra Italian Restaurant

If you’re looking for a quiet romantic evening with your partner filled with exhaustive food options, a never-ending wine list and a breathtaking view along the side of the Chateau TCC, then Buona Terra is the place to be. It has only 24 seats and the dine-in option is available only in the evening, making the experience even more intimate. It is situated in the quiet bungalows of Chateau TCC, along Scotts Road amidst the busy streets of Newton and Orchard. Italian fine dining in Singapore is as authentic as it gets, what with a magnificent spectacle, celebrity chefs brewing and stewing their magic and places like Buona Terra which focus on extensive experimentation with their flavours. The all-star duo of Chef Dennis Lucchi and virtuosic sommelier Gabriele Rizzardi take it upon themselves to give their diners a delightful evening. Being a wine connoisseur himself, Rizzardi also gives frequent recommendations from his wine cellar which flaunts a list of exclusive Italian varieties. There is a great disparity in the vibe of the restaurant and the length of the menu. The restaurant might be warm and cosy, but the menu card tells a different story. Image Credit: Buona Terra Italian Restaurant Facebook Page

Birds of a Feather

Birds of a Feather

Literally spice up your date at Birds of a Feather. It is Spice Street here as Western delicacies are given a Sichuan twist, reminiscent of the fire breathing in the traditional Sichuanese opera. Whether you are on a date, in need of some alone time or in a hurry to host an urgent meeting, this space is the perfect spot for all occasions. Apart from the scrumptious maincourse, brunch is also a regular affair on all weekends. Two absolute must-have signature dishes are The Birds Skillet and Big Bird 1st which is a unique twist on the classic Eggs Benedict. It comes with rich, creamy mala hollandaise accompanied with crispy bacon, sausage, poached egg and a fluffy English muffin. Dig in! Image Credit: Birds of a Feather Website

Cafe and Bar Gavroche

​​​​​​​Cafe and Bar Gavroche

I don’t think it gets more intimate than this. This cosy 40 seater reminds you of the city of love as it is reminiscent of the early 20th century cafes in Paris. Comfortable palm chairs, floors made of cobblestone and sophisticated tiled paintings will most certainly make your first date memorable. For people looking to get hammered on the first date, there happens to be a vintage collection of spirits from wine crafters in France. Moreover, Chef Jean Marie has inherited an antique cooker from his dear old grandmother. He is known to whip up delightful treats like tartines, the croque monsieur, croissants, baguettes and champagne. Image Credit: Café Gavroche Website

Summer Hill

Summer Hill

Summer Hill has surely come leaps and bounds, from the time when it started off as a shed serving roasted chicken in disposables to the cosy bistro along Sunset Way it is today. It is not only the food that is homely- guests are welcomed with warm, tight hugs which feel like a balmy breeze on a cold day. It doesn’t matter if your babysitter didn’t show up as kids can doodle away on the mahjong paper leaving you to gaze dreamily into your partner’s eyes on the candlelit table, while you feast on roasted eggplants, crunchy sourdough bread, creamy mussles, and the signature roast chicken. Don’t forget to check your calendar to catch a table on the Fried Chicken Day- a once a month event which has gone viral. It does not get better than this! Image Credit: Summer Hill Website

Stephen Day, Tirso Garcia, Victoria and Adam Sky take it upon themselves to liven up the evening with not only the Top 40s but some special unheard numbers as well. You know you cannot miss out on a drink that is named after the restaurant itself. Yes, this one is a signature cocktail and a must-have.

​​​​​​​IL Cielo

Although il Cielo is closed till sometime in February they are looking forward to welcoming guests back to a refreshed concept. Chef Yohhei Sasaki’s repertoire is as healthy as the food at il Cielo. He boasts of having worked at Michelin-starred restaurants around Italy, thereby sprinkling an Italian influence which blends perfectly with his Japanese roots. Naturally, the view from the dining table is stunning- perched up on the 24th floor, you can take insights of the rooftop pool while taking in mouthfuls of Sea Urchin Spaghetti and the Bruschetta al Pamodoro. Try out the Degustazione menu if you want a little authenticity. It comes in two varieties: the Italian one has the Bruschetta with basil crumble and Datterini tomato sorbet, while the Japanese one includes the sea urchin and abalone with the Sakura ebi crumble and Asari clam gelato. Image Credit: Tatler Asia

Art

Art

A wise person once said that Food is Art, so it only makes sense to have a restaurant inside the National Gallery of Singapore. This one is for lovers as well as art lovers. Find yourself amidst some of the best collection of South East Asian art. Expect no less from their culinary comrades as they take it upon themselves to paint an appetizing picture brimming with a variety of colours and flavours what with cute little baby radishes loaded with bottarga, crunchy roasted chestnuts cosily wrapped inside 24 month prosciutto and some tangy pickled carrots. It doesn’t end here. The Gianduga Chocolate with Hazelnut gelato is art on a plate and in the mouth. The creaminess of the hazelnut tiramisu coupled with the bitterness of the coffee and the crunch of the tuile make it the perfect dessert to end your dinner with. Image Credit: Art Website

Lumo

Lumo

A little history on the name: The name Lumo translates to “light” in Esperanto- a language devised in the late 19th century. It is based on the roots from some of the main European languages and was also used as an international mode of communication. The spirits of this cocktail bar cannot be dampened by the global pandemic. There is something for everyone at Lumo. Whether it be a happy high after a couple of small ones, 4 pitchers of beer for you and your date to tank up or intoxicating potions brewed up by the head bartender, Josiah Chee, Lumo has it all. These come with rows of sparkling, juicy meats grilled to perfection. Add a set list of American rock classics from the early 2000s and you’ve got yourself a fun date filled with heaps of food, gallons of liquid and music to headbang to. Image Credit: Lumo SG Facebook Page

Mott 32

Mott 32​​​​​​​

Acclaimed for its Chinese cuisine, Mott 32 has branches not only in Singapore, but also in Seoul, Las Vegas, Hong Kong and Vancouver- quite a resume! Lavish and grand interiors done by the team of the award winning architect Joyce Wang include apothecary cabinets, chairs with peacock designs and Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling, which only further reinforces the Oriental vibe of the place. That being said, there does seem to be a balance between an oriental and a contemporary decor with an industrial touch, a dimly lit dining room and plush couches.​​​​​​​

Signature dishes include the monumentous Peking Duck which is marinated for over two days and is then given a smoky, char-like flavour over applewood, Siew Mai packed with Iberico pork and soft boiled quail egg and a Peking duck bun.

The iconic Mott 32 cocktail is reminiscent of some beautiful Asian flavours while the Hanami includes bourbon, gin, umeshu, yuzu, shiso, ginger beer and chrysanthemum which takes us to Japan. If you’re looking for a tropical trip, be sure to order the Harbour Dawn with buttery vanilla rum, coconut pandan, almond, verjus and champagne. Image Credit: Mott 32 Singapore Facebook Page
