Creamy Cookies Pleasure Bingsu from Icebox Cafe. Imagine gravel consists of Oreo cookie crumbs and roughly crushed ice – this bingsu is a slip road off Sime Road. 3.6/5 Icebox Cafe Singapore 89 Rangoon Road Singapore 218375
Spicy Chicken Stew (Spice Level 1 of 4) at Masizzim Singapore. When you taste the stew on its own, powdery ashes float lazily in the wind and land ever so gently and quietly on your tongue, and you will dismiss these innocuous-seeming embers, but seconds later they register with white-hot…
Grilled Squid and 8 Colours Set (thick slices of Mangalitsa pork belly in wine, original, ginseng, garlic, herb, curry, miso paste and red pepper paste flavours) from 8 Korean BBQ. The 8 Colours Set experience could be compared to your first time teaching a class of eight precocious and gifted…

Spanner chilli crab linguini with onsen egg from Wild Rocket. Essentially firm, full-bodied locks of linguini dressed in a wickedly spicy, gooily eggy and voluminously thick chilli crab sauce.

Lemon Steam Squid from Haha Thai. A love gift for those who itch for flirtation with oral danger – a highly citric flare blitz assaults your senses, the soup marvellously imbued with the essence of squid so thoroughly leached that the squid lies lifelessly shagged from all the flavour extraction.…
