When in Rome, do as the Romans do – and I’m not hinting at puling a Nicki Minaj. Besides serving up a medley of mains and roasts, as Saunders has previously reviewed, it is only natural that Canton Paradise would present the Cantonese culinary art of dim sum. Known as ‘dian xin’ (Mandarin), literally “a [...]
As a dining haven & leading culinary hub, it’s only natural for our ever-hungry population to get excited over anything food-related. Besides the Restaurant Week event that recently graced our wallets & appetites, the upcoming 16th World Gourmet Summit is easily one of the most anticipated gourmet events for foodies. Held from 23rd April to [...]
There’s nothing like a bit of competition to really get Singaporeans going – why else would the newer models of the MRTs and buses have fewer seats? As with the bubble tea stalls and artisan ice cream shops popping up till I can hardly keep track, the local artisan bakery scene has also started to [...]
Whether you’re a burly man or a femme fatale, there are certain things in life that can be enjoyed by both sexes and premium ice cream is definitely one of them.

Steakhouses are aplenty on our sunny island, but Six&Seven is always game for something new and unique. Tucked away in the noted neigbourhood of Mohamed Sultan Road lies the nondescript shophouse of Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse, Singapore’s first [...]
Open up “messages” on your iPhone and send an apology message to everyone you have made plans with this weekend; Savour 2012, the first gourmet fiesta to hit our shores, brings together a world for all gourmet lovers. You will be treated to culinary displays from world class master chefs, workshops on wine pairings, specially imported [...]
Loyalty cards are a great way to encourage repeat visits, as well as generate sales, but what about those of us who value choice and new experiences? Well, that’s where Be Disloyal comes in! After their very successful run of their The Coffee Trail, which rewarded cafe-hoppers–no Starbucks or Gong Cha here–they’ve turned the spotlight [...]
Singaporeans love to eat, and buffets are a great answer. I am unsure how unlimited servings of food can be widely appealing, given that not all of us have a bottomless pit for a stomach.
