Welcome to Marina Bay.

A lovely restaurant with the kindest staff. Our favourites of the night were the fragrant prawns al ajillo and signature tiramisu. Other dishes that we really enjoyed were the steak frites, made with perfect doneness which went well with the savoury vongole.

Decided to stop by here after work and was pleasantly surprised by both the food quality and service.

Thr staff were attentive throughout the evening, and food was fantastic. The hummus on the prawn al aljillo was one of the best I had. Crispy duck confit was cooked to a crisp, great texture and taste. Would definitely stop by again!

Food really delivered - was pleasantly surprised by the prawn al ajillo - it was packed with flavour, the steak and duck confit were great, and the French apple tart + ice cream was an excellent combination.

It does seem that dining establishments with a focus on serving French cuisine have been getting rather trendy of the late — whilst we had written about the opening of Bouillon Gavroche at Mandarin Gallery, there is also a new establishment named Frenchy Deli that had Reddit opened its doors at the basement of The Sail. These folks had taken over the former premises of Al-Marche which had moved on and expanded to multiple outlets within the Central Business District; this also makes them neighbours with establishments like Salad Story there. Frenchy Deli does come decked with some true French vibes here with the use of a solid tone of blue for its facade; the use of several paintings hung on its walls also very especially apt with the vibe; all that with dining chairs and tables that helps to replicate at patio-esque dining vibe. Focusing on simple offerings, the food menu at Frenchy Deli is segmented into sections dedicated to Soup & Salads, Lettuce Wraps, Mama’s Pizzas, Sandwiches, Toasties and Paninis. Pastries that are available for the day are also prominently displayed in the display case at the entrance of the cafe.

The Frenchy Croque Toastie is one of the items that are being listed in the Toasties section of the menu. One thing that is worth noting about the offerings at Frenchy Deli is how the food items being served up here do seem to have been pre-prepared in advance — perhaps to better cope with the grab-and-go nature of the establishment considering the demographics of the diners in the area. Frenchy Deli does not describe the elements that are featured in the Frenchy Croque Toastie, though it can be observed from our order that the item does seem to come with cheese, sourdough toast and pork ham — we also noticed a mustard spread with mustard seeds on the inner sides of the sourdough as well. One thing that really bothered us about the Frenchy Croque Toastie was the thin layer of cheese over the sourdough which seemed to have been slightly overdone; this made the Frenchy Croque Toastie felt particularly dry, and coupled with the use of sourdough also meant that the bread Toastie felt especially tough to chew through. With that being said, the use of soft cheese within the Toastie does add a bit of a chewy texture and adds a savoury note to the tender pork ham which wasn’t overly salty; the use of the mustard spread also adds an earthy note that provides a contrast of flavours as well.

Food and atmosphere were a 10/10! Would definitely return :)

Great food at an amazing location. Loved the steak and fries and will be back for more

Visited Market Bistro in Dec 2025, had a great meal at Market Bistro! The prawn al ajillo was my favourite, super flavourful and satisfying. Service was fast and the environment was really nice too, perfect for a chill meal.

An outstanding steakhouse experience centered around an elegant communal dining concept. The premium wagyu was executed with perfect doneness, pairing seamlessly with superb sharing plates like the salad and concluding beautifully with the tiramisu

Hadn’t really been going around Shenton Food Hall within Shenton House often and we had noticed a few new additions to the food court ever since the last time we had made our visit there — located in the spot which was previously tenanted to Thai cuisine stalls in the past now sits a stall named Little Bund. These folks can be found beside the stall serving up Sarawak Kolo Mee there named Noodle Legend House — as the name suggests, Little Bund is a stall serving up mainland Chinese cuisine; more specifically, Shanghainese fare. The menu at Little Bund is kept rather simple by offering a line-up of noodles and dumpling dishes for its patrons — there is also an option to opt for combo meals where patrons are able to pair any noodle dishes with Xiao Long Bao (3pcs), Pan-Fried Buns (2pcs) and Pot Stickers (2pcs) as well.

We visited Little Bund for the Pan-Fried Buns but we decided to opt for the Combo instead where we went with the Dan Dan Noodles to pair with the Pan-Fried Buns (2pcs) for a more substantial meal instead. Though Little Bund does not describe the elements that comes with their various menu items, we did notice from our order that the Dan Dan Noodles came with elements such as minced meat sauce, peanuts, Lao Gan Ma-esque chili, sesame paste and peanuts. Giving the noodles a bit of a toss before going into it, we did find that the noodles carry a bit of a chew whilst the minced meat sauce does come with a fair bit of minced meat that provides a good bite apart from the savoury flavours that it adds to the noodles. The addition of the Lao Gan Ma-esque chili as a hint of fragrance similar to that of Sichuan-style peppers without the numbing effect that further provides another dimension of flavours to the dish; all that whilst keeping the level of spiciness at a level that is manageable even for those whom are tolerable to lower levels of spiciness. The sesame paste does give the entire bowl a smoother consistency, though the flavours of this element seems to be overshadowed by the more savoury elements; all that whilst the peanuts gave a nutty to compliment everything else in the bowl.

Had a really enjoyable meal at Market Bistro recently. We started with the hot honey chicken wings which were crispy with a sweet glaze and just enough heat to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. The beef stroganoff was proper comfort food, tender beef in a rich creamy mushroom sauce with real depth of flavour. For mains the steak frites with ribeye was the highlight, juicy and well-marbled with a great sear and crispy frites on the side. We wrapped up with the cheesecake which was smooth, creamy and not too heavy, a nice way to round off the meal.

Had been hearing quite a fair bit about Famiglia Panizza via social media recently; these folks were previously a online-based business that had its operations based within a hole-in-the-wall space within Promenade @ Pelikat previously — they had recently opened a stall in the Kopitiam food court situated at the second level of Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3 which allows patrons to have a place to walk-in and enjoy their offerings. They had taken over the former premises of a stall named Vero Gusto Pizzeria that had since moved to another location in Balestier; the stall was also occupied by DanLao 蛋佬 previously when the Kopitiam food court had first opened its doors after its rebranding and renovation from being a NTUC Foodfare food court. Famiglia Panizza offers patrons its lineup of pizzas and paninis at its Marina Bay Financial Centre location; all of which available in varying sizes. Patrons also do get to opt for a salad or soup to make their pizza or panini orders into a meal as well.

Noting that the Panini uses the very same dough that they use for their Pizza offerings, we went for the Salamy Panini (Quarter) during our visit made to Famiglia Panizza at Marina Bay Financial Centre. There is a lack of description of the elements that goes into each of their menu items here, though the Salamy Panini is described on its online menu to consist of elements such as salami, pork ham, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and rocket. Giving the panini a bite, the standout for us here would be how the bread here does carry a light, airy crunch that was pretty toasty — the bread not being particularly dense and this makes the Panini pretty much easy and very much a joy to have. The mix of salami and pork ham provides a contrast of meatiness and savouriness; the former providing an extra hint of spiciness that tickles the tastebuds and should be manageable for those whom are tolerable to lower levels of spiciness. Coming with tomatoes that is of a substantial size, the tomato compliments the tomato-based sauce that provides a zesty and tangy note; the tomato giving a firm, juicy and fleshy bite for a good texture, while the soft mozzarella gave another dimension of savouriness that was pretty light tasting — all that whilst the rocket provides a balance with the other elements with its slightly bitter notes that resets the tastebuds.

Lovely ambience and staff. Food was generous and delicious. Definitely get the burger and tiramisu!
