Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

I especially liked the clay pot chicken soup and freshly made wontons and dumplings. Everything was flavourful without feeling too heavy.

There does seem to be quite a fair bit of talk on social media on the opening of Daily Artisan & Bakery at People’s Park Complex recently — these folks took over the former premises of the now-defunct Dough Magic outlet that was situated within the shopping gallery of the building itself. The establishment is decked in a format where it has a dual frontage — one side of which caters to those whom are taking away their various bread offerings, while the other has a counter that features an espresso machine; one can also find a small dine-in area at this side which patrons can use to enjoy their purchased bakes from Daily Artisan & Bakery on the spot. Daily Artisan & Bakery’s offerings include a wide variety of breads and pastries, though the emphasis here based on social media posts about the establishment does seem to revolve around their rose-infused pastries typical of those that one would find in Yunnan, China — there is also a focus on sourdough based on the marketing collaterals describing about sourdough in general as well. Beverages available at Daily Artisan & Bakery are split into categories dedicated to Coffee, Fruit Drinks & More.

Not sure if it was due to strong demand or if the establishment was ill-prepared but we did find it rather appalling that Daily Artisan & Bakery had only five (5) items available when we dropped by on a weekday early afternoon after lunch; of which the quantity levels of most of the items that they have to offer are also running quite low. It is also noted that none of the items available were part of the listed Popular Pick and Best Seller items as shown in their marketing collaterals. The Seasalt Anchor Butter Roll was one of the few items that were still in stock at the time that we had visited Daily Artisan & Bakery. This felt like an item that felt particularly uninspiring amidst all the hype surrounding Shio Pans of the late — whilst many establishments around seem to be serving up Shio Pans in their own style that distinguished their offerings from that of other similar establishments, the version served up at Daily Artisan & Bakery felt quite run-of-the-mill and forgettable otherwise. The bread does come in a lighter consistency than most other Shio Pans we have had elsewhere with a bit of tension to pull apart, but aside from the buttery notes with some salt crystals that attempted to enhance the flavours of the bread further, the lack of a toasted bottom made this felt more like a soft roll than actually a Shio Pan. Seemingly a soulless establishment if one strips it away of its rose-infused specialty bakes out of its menu.

Went to Ingleside for lunch with my sister. The atmosphere is super classy and the staff are all so knowledgeable about their fermentation concept!

We had the Oyster & Mushrooms and Roasted Cauliflower Soup for the entrees, and for the mains we had Grilled Octopus and Wagyu Tartare!

I never had garum and am surprised to find that an establishment in Singapore incorporates it into their dishes.

The Grilled Octopus paired well with garum sauce underneath, and me and my sister enjoyed the Wagyu Tartare with a hint of sourness from the vinegar.

Located at the basement corner behind Cold Storage, TSUJIRI is easy to overlook unless you wander a little. The café is small, cosy, and well known for its matcha creations. I didn’t have their matcha this time, but instead went for the waffle with ice cream.

Waffle with Three Scoops of Ice Cream
The waffle was big and chewy, decorated with strawberries, blueberries, and a dusting of icing sugar. It did not have a crisp exterior, but the soft texture paired well with the cold ice cream.

Baileys Tiramisu: A generous scoop, icy and sweet, though the flavour was subtle. The coffee essence and alcohol notes were faint, leaning more toward neutral creaminess.
Salted Butterscotch: The favourite of the three. Rich, salty, and buttery, with a deep aroma and a tastisfying sweet and savoury balance.
Chocolate: Deep, rich, dark, and smooth, giving it elegance and sophistication.

Visually, the trio of scoops looked inviting against the waffle, with colourful fruits adding brightness. The contrast of warm waffle and cold ice cream gave a pleasing texture and temperature balance. Each bite carried its own character, whether subtle, rich, or bold, making the platter varied and enjoyable.

Meadesmoore is such a great place for a date night if you're looking for good food and a cosy atmosphere. We kicked things off with the sourdough bread and scallops, and honestly they already set the bar really high. The bread spread was incredibly tasty, and the scallops were so tender and fragrant that I wished there were more on the plate.

We shared the Meadesmoore cut for our main, and I really liked that the sauces were served separately. It let us enjoy the natural flavour of the steak first, which was my favourite way to eat it. The mac and cheese was super creamy and comforting, and it paired so well with the steak. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which had a bold coffee flavour that my partner loved, while I enjoyed a lovely glass of red wine. Overall, such a wonderful dinner and I'd definitely recommend it!

Came to Ingleside with pretty high expectations because of the hype around their woodfire and fermentation concept, and they definitely delivered.

The French Oysters are a great way to start—super clean, and the smoked kelp vinegar gives a nice sharp bite. The absolute must-order is the Wagyu Tartare. It’s served in a split bone marrow bone, and they mix the beef with coffee shoyu and chicken garum. It’s rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying without feeling too heavy.

For mains, the dry-aged Channel Rockfish had the perfect smoky, crispy skin while staying super juicy inside, topped with a punchy herb-anchovy sauce. The Tajima Wagyu Steak was perfectly medium-rare, served simply with sea salt and a sweet roasted shallot. Oh, and don't sleep on the Charred Caulilini side dish—that red bean miso butter is addictive. Definitely a spot for serious food lovers.

Was scrolling around social media and got to learn about the new Stash that is situated at 3 Kelantan Lane. The social media bio of Stash describes it to be a pop-up; an indeed, the set-up of the hole-in-the-wall space for Stash does look like a peculiar oddity as compared to most other cafes situated elsewhere in proper shop units. Taking up a small corner space within 3 Kelantan Lane which also houses another business named Tela, Stash is pretty much a hole-in-the-wall with an interesting dine-in space situated in the middle of the walkway — the establishment makes use of the gap in between the pillars to install a table that is paired with some patio furniture to allow patrons to sit around to enjoy their cuppa, while benches with small tables are also set up near the counter to accommodate for more dine-in patrons. Despite the limited space it occupies, the personality of whom runs the cafe does shine through with its decor being pretty cheeky and playful which evokes an element of fun. Given the amount of space it occupies, the emphasis here does seem to be pretty much on their beverages — these are split into sections dedicated to Coffee and Non-Coffee, though they do also serve some light bites on its Food menu which is restricted to either the Cardamom Loaf and Croissant.

We were pretty intrigued with the Cardamon Loaf when we first skimmed through the menu at Stash; whilst buns infusing cardamom rather than that of cinnamon had caught on being a little more commonplace at artisanal bakeries and specialty cafes these days, it was pretty much the look of the Cardamom Loaf at Stash that really caught our attention. All pastries at Stash are heated up upon order by default — props to the folks behind Stash for looking into details like that which do matter. What we quite liked about the Cardamom Loaf here is how it does come with “cubes” that carry a texture that is similar to that of danishes — light, crisp and buttery. Going deeper into the loaf, the bottom does come with a bread-like texture; there is definitely a hint of cardamom within the bread that gives it an evidently spiced note without being too intense or overwhelming. Closer to the base of the loaf was where things start getting interested with the bread coming with a slightly sweet glaze that came with a slightly floral note; gives an extra contrast of flavours that really compliments those spiced notes even further — makes it something that we demolished in no time especially considering how we just simply can’t get enough of it

Was going around the higher floors of Far East Plaza when we did notice a rather unfamiliar sight that hinted of a new F&B establishment that had recently just moved into the mall — taking over the former premises of the now-defunct outlet of Xiao Nong Tian Putian Cuisine 小农田•莆田菜 there is Mighty Kopi. Mighty Kopi does look more like a mom-and-pop style of dining establishment; the furniture and fittings as well as its entire setup being more functional than for form. With that being said, the space is still relatively well-decked for the comfort of its patrons with a mix of booth seats as well as stools and dining tables that are used throughout the establishment; there are also quite a decent amount of space to accommodate a sizeable number of dine-in patrons as well, while most of the dining tables and chairs are moveable to allow for configurations that would suit both big and small groups that might visit the establishment. Mighty Kopi primarily serves up local fare for its hot food offerings which is split into sections dedicated to Hakka Hand Torn Noodles, Laksa, Nanny’s Home Delights, Wok Hey Delights, Toast, and Sides — there is also an offering of Sandwiches and also a variety of pies / puffs stocked in a basket at the counter as well. Beverages available at Mighty Kopi are categorised into sections such as Kopi, Teh, Other Drinks and Special Coffees.

Mighty Kopi does allow for quite a fair bit of customisation for their Hakka Hand Torn Noodles offerings; patrons do get to make a choice between various types of noodles such as that of Meehoon Kueh, Ban Mian, You Mian, Ke Kou Mian or Yee Mian, while one can also opt for whether they would like their order to come with Meatballs Only, Fishballs Only or both Meatballs + Fishballs. Patrons also can choose to go for the Soup variant or the Dry variant of the dish, and Mighty Kopi describes their Hakka Hand Torn Noodles items to come with homemade minced meat, Napa Cabbage, spinach and egg. For the dry variant of the Hakka Hand Torn Noodles, the afore-mentioned elements all come in a separate bowl of soup. We went for the dry version of the Mee Hoon Kueh, opting for the Meatballs Only variant. The Meatballs Only Mee Hoon Kueh (Dry) comes tossed in dark sauce — there is also the inclusion of Ikan Bilis and clusters of minced meat as well. Giving the Mee Hoon Kueh a good toss, the dark soy sauce does give the Mee Hoon Kueh a deep, earthy and savoury note; we liked how the Mee Hoon Kueh is handmade here considering how it does come in different shapes and sizes — each piece being chewy yet with a firm bite for good texture. The Ikan Bilis in the meanwhile adds a bit of a crunch factor and a slight hint of saltishness that adds on to the flavours of the entire dish; the minced meat carries a slight tanginess and provides a savoury note, though comes free from any undesirable porky stench — the meatballs further adds on to the meatiness with a bit of a bouncy texture for some contrast. Meanwhile, the soup on the side does come lightly savoury with a bit of a soft crunch from the Napa cabbage, while the egg does come with a jammy egg yolks that some would prefer given how it is in the bowl of soup here.

Solid comfort food spread at Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge. The oat-crusted prawns were the standout crispy, savoury topping, generous portion, seriously moreish. Sweet and spicy clams were fresh and plump in a rich tomato-ish sauce, great with rice. Rounded out with a fluffy fried egg omelette, garlicky sweet potato leaves with a bit of heat, and comforting Taiwan porridge with sweet potato chunks. The chilli sauce on the side went with everything.

I really enjoyed the depth of flavour the dishes have here, it’s unlike anything I had ever tried before. We drank the soup till the very last drop 😁

The umaminess of each dish really shines through each dish, and the prawn flavour is so pronounced- it’s worthy of being called a “PRAWN” noodle. We could taste the dedication and love they have for the food they serve, plus the service was great!

I will be back definitely 💯
