New Restaurants, Cafes & Bars in Singapore: September 2019

Heads up, easties! A new burget joint has opened up in PLQ and it comes bearing to-die-for grub. Go for the Incredible Burger ($7.30 Ala Carte/ $9.80 Set) that sees ham, a fried egg and a juicy fried chicken patty. Also in high demand is their Mom’s Thigh Burger Set ($8.20) with a fried chicken thigh patty slathered in housemade sweet garlic mayo, sandwiched between lightly toasted buns. All sets come with super addictive Cajun fries.

Jot this restaurant in Bukit Pasoh down for dates or special occasions. Fill up on their Umami Capellini (S$26) — a bold, spicy pasta dish that is balanced nicely with XO and topped with uni and caviar. For desserts, go straight for their delicious Peanut Butter Tart ($14) served with toasted almonds and sesame ice cream. Otherwise, the deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake ($14) is also an excellent and fun option with coconut chantilly, honey, fig ice cream and a jelly veil.

Great for dates or after work drinks with the colleagues is this rooftop bar and restaurant at Downtown Gallery. For mains, get their vegetarian-friendly Garden Ragu Fettucine ($15) slathered in a delectable tomatoey housemade specialty 'Beyond' ragu sauce. Share their Beer Battered Chicken Tenders ($8) and Baby Hasselback Potatoes with Burnt Spring Onions ($10), then wash it all down with a glass or two of sweet yet tangy Rasa Sayang ($16) — a local variation of a white sangria.

Make a mental note of this chic joint in Shaw Centre for future tempura cravings. Order the Toku-Jo Bowl ($22.80) for a generous serving of tempura anago, crab leg, prawn, fish and egg heaped on top of pearly white rice. Choose between a spicy or non-spicy sauce — Burppler Veronica Phua recommends the former for extra oomph. Each order comes with a side of shredded cabbage salad and miso soup so you'll definitely leave feeling satisfied!

Find this highly anticipated ramen joint (affiliated to two-star kaiseki eatery Seizan in Japan) in Picnic, a multi-food concept along Orchard Road.

For a non-seafood option, go for the Kumamoto Wagyu Ramen ($20) or fill up on their 6PC Gyoza ($10) filled with either pork or chicken.

Although this stall is housed in a nondescript coffeeshop along Toa Payoh Lorong 7, it sticks out like a sore thumb thanks to the snaking queue that peeks out. Chef Neo, of Les Amis fame, serves a wet style of Hokkien Mee (from $4) that sees noodles simmered in a flavorful broth with generous portions of shrimp, sotong and pork belly. Pro-tip: Come by early to avoid the crowd — it opens daily from 10am till 2pm.
