Besides the mini marshmallows, this did not really remind me of s'mores. The waffles here were crunchier than the taro and red velvet waffles though! This came with a sweet creamy sauce, reminiscent of melted marshmallows so I'll give it to them. We chose the Earl grey ice-cream to have with this, and the ice-cream was good. It had a prominent Earl grey flavour! :)
Mad For Garlic's entire menu revolves around garlic, which is both innovative and interesting. One dish you should not miss is the Garlic Snowing Pizza, a special sweet garlic pizza topped with shrimp, pineapple, fried garlic slices, and lots of freshly shaved parmesan. The combination of flavours and textures works really well, and the thin crust keeps it light. Also, go for the Lobster Cream Pasta, a garlic cream sauce pasta rich in lobster meat and fish roe. Due to the special preparation by the chef, the pungent smell of garlic is removed. Therefore, both garlic or non-garlic lovers can expect an enjoyable experience with the unique taste of Mad for Garlic's mouth-watering dishes.

This hidden gem preivously located at the basement of Concorde Hotel's food court has relocated a few floors up and expanded to accommodate the large following they have built. Do not dismiss this humble eatery, it dishes out superbly executed dishes like Kimchi Fried Rice, Bulgogi and Korean Rice Cakes. Go for the Spicy Chicken Soup Set, a fiery red soup filled with loads of ingredients and sweet potato noodles. Complete the meal by sharing a potato pancake. With nothing above $10, you won't have to worry about breaking the bank!
It's pretty hard to go wrong at Togi, even though they boast an extensive menu. Special mention goes to the individual servings of porridge that come with the rest of the banchan; it's simple, comforting, and flavourful. Get the Seafood Pancake to share - crisp on the outside and loaded with seafood and spring onions, paired with a dipping sauce that adds that extra kick. The Japchae is chewy, sweet, savoury, and extremely addictive. If you're there in a group, order the Army Stew to share! It's a massive spicy hotpot loaded with ramen, sausages, luncheon meat, tofu, and vegetables.
The snaking queue at this famous dakgalbi restaurant from Korea is testament to its popularity. For the uninitiated, Galbi is basically meat marinated in a ganjang-based sauce that is grilled at the table. The star here is none other than Yoogane's Chicken Galbi - spicy marinated chicken cooked with rice cakes and vegetables. Also go for the Galbi Fried Rice, that gooey mozzarella cheese fried with rice and bulgogi chicken is oh-so-satisfying. Kimchi-lovers rejoice, the salad bar is free-flow!
Offering over 130 shots which fall into the categories "Dare", "Deadly", "Fruity", and "Yummy", this place will definitely have something to suit your distinct alcohol personality. From the slightly disturbing Bloody Tampon to the childhood favourite Paddle Pop, you'd be enjoying yourself silly and attempting to stay conscious long enough to have every shooter on the menu. Though a shots bar, they have a decent range of martinis, cocktails, spirits, and bar bites as well. Just beware - things may get messy.
The Secret Mermaid is kind of, well, secret. It's probably nowhere to be found when the sun's still up, as salad bar Shinkansen operates this spot in the day. This elusive tasting room serves some of the most bizarre spirits you've ever heard of. Anyone up for Bakon Vodka or Smoked Salmon Vodka? If not, they bring in several other American spirits that are completely new and unique to Singapore, such as Berkshire Mountain’s Greylock Gin, which is rated the #1 gin by the New York Times.
It's name and signboard may be more than a little misleading; bringing to mind a humble hawker centre drink stall rather than a cool, laid-back place situated amidst the busy stretch of bars along Boat Quay. Surrounded by old school décor, bartenders of Ah Sam whip up quality classic cocktails as well as those inspired by local flavours - like the laksa boy and milo whiskey. Cosy and minimalistic, with downright yummy drinks in a friendly environment. Shiok ah!
A seemingly Japanese-themed, dimly-lit, pleasantly quiet bar in the basement of Forum, this place marks itself as a go-to bar for uniquely concocted cocktails with an Asian flair. Examples being their chicken rice-inspired, makizushi (sushi), and sze chaun cocktails (each for $25). If you're feeling hungry, go for the ramen and wagyu beef. Dinner and drinks all in one place!
Located behind Shoebox Canteen, Bitters & Love is a great find perfect for exquisite, personalised, after-work cocktals, with prices ranging from $19-25. They also serve up tasty bar snacks like the tender rangers valley waygu and triple cooked handcut truffle potatoes (prices from $13). Unpretentious and staffed with friendly bartenders, the search for this place is definitely worth it.
Committed to bringing you specially-crafted cocktails with a strong emphasis on local flavours, this bar boasts a uniquely Singaporean take on their cocktails with flavours you'd never think could be combined with alcohol.

Mars Bar now operates in The Duxton Hotel lobby until October 2014, so hurry down to get your fix of local flavours in seemingly absurd but surprisingly delicious concoctions.

As these mixologists are so attentive, the whole process leaves you feeling like royalty. Expect to spend around $25 per cocktail. For the experience, it's totally worth it.
