The one thing which doesn’t fail to amaze us is how Singapore wins the hearts of all those who choose to live here and make them feel right at home.
We’d like to believe the ever-changing dining scene here has something to do with it. This article brings you an array of new restaurants to try curated for your convenience by Expat Choice. Image Credit: Oumi Facebook Page
California Republic
A cosy dining space with ambient lighting, California Republic ticks all the boxes when it comes to a good vibe. What we love here is the concept of cocktails where you can order a drink with zero to the standard amount of booze quantity. For instance, get a full proof Tiffany-Twisted for the high spirits or go for a half proof Flower Child for half the amount or a zero proof El Segundo for no alcohol at all. The food here is absolutely divine and we recommend Grilled Calamari, Lazy Man’s Cioppino, Crispy Potatoes, Gnocchi, and Gelato. Image Credit: California Republic Facebook Page
KYŌ Kohee
Are you picky while choosing your morning cuppa? KYŌ Kohee at Robinson Road gives you plenty of options as they not only have the usual fix like Mocha, Espresso, Black, and White Coffee but they also have a variety of Japanese Tea. Try their Okumidori Matcha with or without milk and we highly recommend their signature iced caramelised coffee. They’ve also got Chocolate Milk and Cold Brew Royal Milk Tea. If you need a little pick-me-up with your cuppa, you can order some croffles, a fruit cup, or even a banana. Image Credit: KYŌ Kohee Singapore Facebook Page
Shin Yasuke
Get your sushi fix at Shin Yasuke, helmed by chefs trained by Chef Tomoo Kimura who owns and runs Sushi Kimura. The menu is omakase, which means you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the variety of sushi coming your way. You will get 15 kinds of them and to get a better idea of what kind, here are a few - Bafun Uni, Shiro Ebi, Striped Jack “Shima Aji”, Hotaru Ika “Firefly Squid”, and Kamasu “Sea Barracuda”. For those who love to eat, sleep, and breathe sushi, this new restaurant would be a fantastic experience. Image Credit: Shin Yasuke Facebook Page

Jypsy
If you’ve been to PS. Cafe, you’d know they have feel-good vibes and great food. Under the scrutiny of this beloved cafe, the concept of Jypsy was established and now it’s open full-fledged in all its glory at One Fullerton. Here it offers gorgeous views of the Marina Bay, we’re eyeing the tables closer to the view for our next date. Jyspy has delicious cocktails like Cucumber Saketini, Vesper Martini, and Ginger Ninja Highball. The food is spectacular and we recommend Torched Wagyu Crispy Nigiri, Snapper Ceviche Al Limone Spaghettini, Robaba Lamb Ribs, and Pavlova Sundae. Image Credit: Pscafe.com

Joo Chiat Caphe
Who doesn’t love a quick, tasty, on-the-go meal especially on a rushed work day? Well, if you’re near Joo Chiat, head on over to Joo Chiat Caphe for a delicious, juicy Banh Mi. You can call it a Vietnamese sandwich if it is easier, but the kind of flavours it packs are unlike any other in the world. Stuffed in a Vietnamese baguette, this place serves Classic Cold Cut Chicken with Homemade Chicken Pate, Mackerel Otah with Homemade Vietnamese Mayonnaise, and Grilled Lemongrass Beef Patty with Hoisin Sauce. The place is 100% halal and also serves coffee, tea, and hot or cold chocolate. Image Credit: Misstamchiak.com

Forma
Celebrate Italy while still in Singapore by visiting a mere few days old, Forma. Each shape of pasta you find here is all made in house and the taste will make you bring your fingers together as you exclaim, ‘Mamma Mia!’ Try their delicious antipasti of braised baby artichokes with stracciatella, fried zucchini blossoms, and cod balls. Amongst their pasta, we loved their Pappardelle e Coda alla Vaccinara as the braised oxtail ragu was absolutely divine. Do save some space for their Torta della Nonna and Biscotti for dessert.

Super Nova
A new breakfast spot with your doggo in tow, a lazy brunch place, a dinner spot, or simply a cafe serving the perfect hot cuppa with cake. Super Nova lives up to its name as its all of these options rolled into one place. We love the outdoor section, especially in the mornings. Their brunch menu serves delicious Shoyu Butter & Garlic Rigatoni, Mala Chicken Burger, and Shrimp Salad. But we’ll gladly sit back with a glass of wine at night to try out their Zaatar Toast, Spicy Tiger Prawns, Fisherman’s Stew, and Butter Tart. Yum! Image Credit: Super Nova Facebook Page

Oumi
Bored of your old date spots? Well, here’s a new, cosy one where dining gets intimate as you get to be a part of the cooking experience thanks to an open kitchen. Oumi is located in the swanky CapitaSpring tower and offers a refreshing view of the Marina Bay. They have a wide selection of tea and sake as well as selected shochu and umeshu. Of course, we had to try one of their lovely cocktails and we can vouch for ‘Tears Of A Geisha’. For dinner, we enjoyed their Gindara Misoyaki, Foie Gras Monaka, Momotaro Cheese, and Yoghurt Lychee Sake Sorbet. Image Credit: Oumi Facebook Page

Basdban
Get ready for tantalising Sichuan flavours at Basdban, a restaurant helmed by Chef Pang Kok Keong who gives the cuisine a modern twist. Watch your beef go up in flames as a little dinner theatre if you order their side of Wagyu Beef Flambe. Their cocktails are just as sizzling and we love their Snow In Summer, the prettiest looking Flower In My Gin, and the spicy Burn BB Burn. Do order Basdban’s Whampoa Omelette with crab sauce, Angus Ribeye Steak with Kung Bao Sauce, and for dessert, Don't Break My H(t)art. Nom, nom. Image Credit: Basdban Facebook Page
