In November 2018, I checked into the One-Bedroom Millenia Suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, a luxurious 608-room hotel which has firmly established itself as one of Singapore’s most esteemed addresses. The hotel is located just steps away from major attractions such as Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the…
Joining Mandarin Oriental, Singapore’s impressive F&B lineup is MO Bar, a new bar concept which takes over where the former Axis Bar and Lounge left off. Situated on the fourth floor of the hotel and boasting impressive views of the skyline, the bar serves dainty afternoon tea sets as well…
The UTW (“Under Ten Words”): Upscale luxury experience partly suffers due to service limitations. The must-dos (if any): Relax in the refurnished rooms, have cocktails and canapes at the 31F Executive Lounge. Intro: In July 2018, in the midst of completing the Hilton Honors Diamond Status Match, I checked into the…
The UTW (“Under Ten Words”): Grilled fish in a variety of (spicy) Sichuan sauces. The must-orders (if any): Cod, Steamboat Bean Base. Summary: Launching at the basement of Suntec City, the curiously school-themed Sichuan Kungfu Fish Singapore offers a fairly straightforward concept – choose from a variety of fish and seafood…

Gooey Banana Donuts “Milo Dinosaur” with Milo crumbs, condensed milk and hazelnuts from Redpan. Despite both being mid-embrace, the piping hot goreng pisang-esque balls maintained a frosty emotional disconnect from the Milo crumbs, with the latter gazing longingly across the room at the delectably roasty hazelnuts as Steps’ “It’s The…
Prawn & Hae Bi Hiam Pasta from Redpan – tagliatelle tossed with housemade spicy shrimp paste, sakura ebi and sautéed prawns. The hae bi hiam aroma at play is irresistible, while elsewhere the introverted sakura ebi is overshadowed by the busyness of the proceedings and is best savoured directly on…
Grilled kingfish collar with spicy chinchalok sauce from Redpan’s new menu, which rolls out tomorrow. Every inch of moist flesh, chewy cartilagey bits and sinfully charred skin went shiveringly well with the spicy chinchalok sauce, so stingingly tangy and naughty that it would make you go “phaaaaaaatumba” or similar incoherent…
