No Comments on ULTRA-Awesome Places to Get Your Party Started

ULTRA is round the corner, and if you need some drinks to power through those sets, we’ve got a few bars in the vicinity for you to get your buzz on.

1. CE LA VI

What better way to kick off a party with a fabulous view and great cocktails? At 57 storeys high, let your spirits soar as you sit atop the Marina Bay Sands. If you are feeling peckish, indulge in some modern Asian cuisine at the restaurant, or take that perfect ‘gram by the infinity pool. The club is only an elevator ride away from the festival if you ever find that you need a breath of fresh air from the fun but sweaty dancing.

Find it at 1 Bayfront Avenue, Level 57, Tower 3, Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, Singapore 018971.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

2. Adrift Bar & Lounge

This bar may boast a swanky address and luxe furniture like plush sofas and a large marble table, but the vibe is still cozy-chic. With delicious light bites available from the restaurant, and a drinks menu curated by New York bar and cocktail icon Sam Ross, you’ll be spoiled for choice. You might, however, want to start off with the Penicillin, a combination of Scotch, lemon, honey, ginger and Islay float — a grown-up version of the Manhattan.

Find it at 10 Bayfront Avenue, Tower 2 Lobby, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore 018956.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

3. Lantern Rooftop Bar

When it comes to rooftop bars, it’s hard to beat Lantern, which gives you the perfect vantage point to catch the Marina Bay Sands light show. A place to be seen at, you can lounge next to the infinity pool with a drink or two in your hand. There is a good selection of champagnes, wines, spirits and beers available, or you can pick its Latin American-inspired cocktails.

Find it at 80 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049326.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

4. Monti

Get amped for a party at one of Singapore’s architectural marvels. Situated in a glass dome on the river, you’ll get an unparalleled 360-degree view of the Marina Bay — you might even get to hear earlier festival sets from across the water! This Italian restaurant also takes its Italian cocktails seriously — start your night with an Aperol Spritz or, if you prefer something more full-bodied, have the Godfather, which is whiskey mixed with amaretto.

Find it at 82 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049327.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

5. OverEasy

If you are looking for a laidback bar without compromising on location, why not skip across the river and relax with a pint at OverEasy? Even the cocktails promise a tantalising dose of Southern hospitality, what with drinks like the Breakfast of Champions, which mixes rye, Dutch liqueur, maple syrup, lemon, and a waffle biscuit. Plenty of bar snacks too, so this is a great place to refuel.

Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG at the following outlets:

6. The Secret Mermaid

Cr: sgasiatatler.com

It may be located in the underbelly of the Ocean Financial Centre, but this semi-speakeasy (it transforms from Japanese eatery Salmon Samurai in the evenings) serves some of the yummiest cocktails in town. The drinks start off with spirits brought in by Liberty Spirits Asia — the bar also doubles (triples?) up as a showroom — but morph into some pretty amazing concoctions in the hands of their talented mixologists. Be sure to check out their monthly specials!

Find it at 10 Collyer Quay, B1-09, Ocean Financial Centre, 049315.
Click here for more information on The Secret Mermaid.

7. Operation Dagger

Cr: awol.junkee.com

This speakeasy might be half an hour away from the festival (or a 10-minute cab ride), but it’s worth making the detour for one of the World’s 50 Best Bars. The menu is short but that means less room for indecision: the drinks are among some of the most creative in Singapore. The hip, industrial vibe makes for a perfect place to get yourself pumped up for some music or unwind after being on your feet for hours.

Find it at 7 Ann Siang Hill, #B1-01, Singapore 069791.

7 Must-Try Dim Sum Dishes at No Signboard Seafood

Post author By Michelle Tan
Post date June 12, 2018
No Comments on 7 Must-Try Dim Sum Dishes at No Signboard Seafood

When we say ‘dim sum’, there are probably only a number of tea houses and dim sum restaurants that come to mind. But what if we told you that you can now add No Signboard Seafood to that list?

The popular seafood joint now offers an indulgent dim sum lunch at their Vivocity outlet daily, between 11am and 5pm. But of course, true to No Signboard fashion, these aren’t just your average dim sum selections! From global favourites to upgraded classics, here are some of our favourites from the menu that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

1. Signature Poached Pork Dumpling with Spicy Vinegar Sauce

If you’re looking at this dish and thinking “wow, these look like little pockets of explosions just waiting to happen”, you’re probably right! These pork dumplings are the stars of the dim sum lunch menu, and it’s easy to see why: proper dumplings tossed in a piquant vinegar-and-chilli sauce, these babies are perfect to start a meal with.

You might think it unwise to start off with a spicy dish but don’t let the fiery red dressing fool you! It’s mild in heat but packs a tangy punch that jump starts your appetite like no other. When you get to the heart of the dumpling, the succulent pork filling helps to round out the flavours, preparing you for more to come.

2. Pan-fried Carrot Cake with Taro Shreds

If you think that you’re going to get a traditional carrot cake, think again. No Signboard Seafood takes this local favourite and elevates it in more ways than one. The first thing that draws you in is the contrast in textures, where a crisp upper layer of shaved taro sits upon a dense, pan-fried block. Take a bite, and experience the crunch followed by silky carrot cake that pretty much melts in your mouth.

Just when you think that that’s the most impressive part of the carrot cake, its robustness takes you by surprise. The generous helping of dried shrimp adds depth to the dish, giving it a flavour profile unlike any other you’ve had elsewhere. But don’t just take our word for it – try it for yourself!

3. Steamed Egg Yolk Custard Charcoal Bun

Nothing says ‘classy chic’ like these Custard Charcoal Buns! Even if you don’t usually order custard buns, these bad boys will have you tempted. Made with premium charcoal flour and adorned with a golden swirl on top, this is probably the sexiest looking custard buns we’ve ever come across.

Steamed to pillowy perfection, your next instinct is to probably bite into them but we strongly suggest to break them into half instead to avoid burning your mouth with its piping hot filling. Plus, it’s more gratifying to watch as the golden savoury liquid ooze out and coat the buns before tucking in. We assure you.

4. Seafood Crisp Rice

Feeling a little down in the dumps? Then this bowl of comfort is just what the doctor ordered. Heartwarming and delicious, it’s a nice respite between dim sum dishes as well. There’s just something soothing about the mellow broth made from chicken and seafood that goes well with the generous heap of prawns, scallops, and more.

Plus, the crispy rice adds crunch with every mouthful that, over time, soaks up the broth and turns into an inviting bowl of porridge that you can just devour by the mouthful.

5. Steamed Shanghai Juicy “Xiao Long Bao”

We all know that this hot number needs no introduction. Just imagining these delicate little pouches breaking apart and revealing its juicy, meaty treasures are making our mouths water!

While plain in appearance, the dumplings are noticeably larger than most. The savoury-sweet broth leaves you craving more too. Bursting with intensity, we guarantee that you won’t be forgetting these dumplings anytime soon. Another basket, please!

6. Steamed Royal Shrimps Dumpling with Celery

Everyone loves a good ‘har gaw’, but have you ever had one that looks this good? Made to look like little gleaming gems in a basket, this is probably the best way to get your little ones to have their greens. By adding celery into the dumpling skin, it adds a quirky twist to this long-time favourite.

And don’t worry if you’re not a fan of celery; the vegetable only imparts its bright green hue to the skin and not its flavour. With its springy prawn filling, this fan-favourite is done exactly the same way you remembered it to be.

7. Chef’s Special Skewer Grill Pork “Siew Mai”

Why serve siew mai in a bamboo steamer when you can have them in one go on a bamboo skewer? And these aren’t your average Siew Mai either: No Signboard puts them through a skewer and onto a grill, enhancing its flavours tenfold.

Lathered with a luscious sauce and topped with bonito flakes, it’s reminiscent of the Japanese takoyaki which we’re sure you’ll love. Each siew mai is packed with minced pork, prawn, and mushrooms, so you know you’re definitely getting an umami bomb every time. Oishii-desu!

If you didn’t already know, you can get up to 20% off your food bill when you purchase No Signboard Seafood time-based discounted vouchers to dine between 11am and 4pm daily!

Creative Durian Dishes Every Durian Lover Needs to Try

Post author By Emerline Su
Post date June 11, 2018
No Comments on Creative Durian Dishes Every Durian Lover Needs to Try

Mention the name ‘durian’ and watch how people react. This Southeast Asian gem is (in)famous for its smell and flavour, but regardless of whether you’re Team Durian or not, one thing’s for sure: the durian earned its keep as the King of Fruits.

The fruit on its own is good enough, but if you’re feeling adventurous or just want a bit of it in everything you eat, check out these creative durian-based dishes! The options can be sweet or savoury, hot or cold, or even full-out crazy. One thing’s for sure, though: they’re more than enough to satisfy any craving.

1. Bread & Butter Pudding at Marriott Cafe

Cr: aspirantsg.com

This classic treat gets a local makeover at Marriott Cafe. A warm and comforting dessert that’s so quintessentially British, it’s hard to imagine the bread & butter pudding with durian. However, by mixing a healthy dose of our favourite fruit into the custard, we get a dish that’s bursting with its distinctive and oh-so-delicious aroma in every soft, fluffy bite. That’s not all the Marriott Cafe has to offer though. Alongside the bread & butter pudding sit durian puffs, mousse cakes, and even creme brulees – all at their Durian High Tea Buffet.

Find it at 320 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238865.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

2. Durian Salat at Chalk Farm

Cr: Her World

Kueh Salat is already one of the more decadent and indulgent Nyonya kuehs. So, when you replace the coconut with durian custard, you’ve got a recipe for love at first bite. Made with top-notch Mao Shan Wang and Wang Zong Wang durians, the golden-hued custard is smooth, buttery, and full of flavour. One bite won’t be enough, so it’s a good thing the Durian Salat comes in a 2.5-kilogram cake. It’s meant to serve twelve, but if you want the whole thing for yourself, who are we to judge?

Find it at 290 Orchard Road Paragon #B1-K24, Singapore 238859.
Click here for more information on Chalk Farm.

3. Fried Durian Ice Cream at Majestic Restaurant

There’s one foolproof way to make everything taste better: dip it in batter and toss it in the fryer. At Majestic Restaurant, the fried durian ice cream ticks all of our deep-fried dessert boxes. The piping hot, golden-brown, and crispy shell (covered in maple syrup, no less) opens with a delightful crack to reveal a core of cold, sweet durian ice cream. You get both hot and cold, crunchy and smooth – all in one delectable bite.

Find it at 5 Straits View, Marina One The Heart, #04-01, 018935.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

4. Durian Lava Cake – Ice Edge Cafe

Cr: Iced Age Cafe

A treat for Singaporean sweet tooths, the decadent Durian Lava Cake at Ice Edge is the cafe’s claim to fame. The golden cake comes with a dusting of icing sugar and a scoop of gelato, and the durian “lava” oozing out once you dig your spoon in is one of the most Insta-worthy things we’ve seen. Fluffy durian cake and divine filling paired with creamy gelato makes this an indulgent dessert of complementary textures and flavours.

Find it at 2 Kovan Road, #01-10 Simon Plaza, 548008.
Click here for more information on Ice Edge Cafe.

5. Durian Fried Rice at Escape Restaurant and Lounge

As the easiest way to use up leftovers, fried rice is a forgiving dish you can throw pretty much anything into. Still, it has its limits, and putting durian in there clearly pushes those limits. Durian and fried rice may seem like an odd combination, but the fruit does surprisingly well in a savoury dish. When you add in a dose of sambal, you’ll get a firework of flavours, with smoky wok hei, aromatic durian, and the spicy umami of sambal coming together on your tongue. Make sure to bring your sense of adventure, because this isn’t a dish for the faint-hearted!

Find it at 1 Farrer Park Station Road, 217562.
Earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG.

6. Durian everything – Mao Shan Wang Cafe

Cr: thejakartapost.com

Mao Shan Wang Cafe is the stuff of every durian-lover’s dreams. Everything here includes durian in some way, with out-of-this-world combinations we’d never dreamed of. Start your meal with a comforting durian coffee, and if you’re feeling munchy, how about fries with durian dip? The star of the show is undoubtedly the durian pizza. Layers of freshly-peeled durian flesh and cheese sit on a fluffy charcoal pizza crust, the flavours combining to create a curious but nonetheless yummy dish.

Find it at 49 Temple St, Singapore 058594.

Foods to Try at Geylang Serai

Post author By Emerline Su
Post date June 4, 2018
No Comments on Foods to Try at Geylang Serai

The highly anticipated Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar is back! It’s famous for having both delicious pasar malam fare we know and love as well as various creative concoctions, but it’s also infamous for the pricier and sometimes “overly-hipster” food. To save your money and time, we’ve gone down to the bazaar to try some of the most hyped dishes, and discover a few hidden gems you’ll be glad to know about.

Mentaiko Blow-Torch Beef by Beef Bro

Who hasn’t heard of these famous beef cubes? Grilled over an open fire and seared with a blowtorch, then covered in mentaiko sauce… it sounds like the dish of our dreams. While flavour-packed, it would have been better if the meat were a little less done. It could make do with a little sear on the outside for heightened depth of flavour, which would have complemented the sauce. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details.

Chilli Crab Pasta and Swedish Meatballs by Hyde & Co.

Another stall that’s garnered some excitement is Hyde & Co, best known for their signature Chilli Crab Pasta, which has clearly earned its social media fame. Everything about this dish was on point, even down to chilli crab’s unique power to keep us coming back for more despite the punchy heat and spiciness. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce made slightly thicker than the usual chilli crab sauce to stick to the pasta, was fragrant and slightly sweet. However, the star of the show was clearly the generous dose of sweet, fresh crab.

Next up is the meatballs, doled out in bucket-sized servings. Don’t expect a bucket’s worth of meatball though! The dish is about two-thirds mashed potato and one-third meatballs served with gravy and a dollop of strawberry jam. We absolutely loved the meatballs. They were flavourful, tender, and (dare we say it) even better than those at Ikea. However, the jam could be less sweet and the mashed potatoes would fare better with more substance.

Grilled Cheeseburger by WORD

Grilled cheese or burger? Melty cheese or juicy patty? The Grilled Cheeseburger is a godsend for anyone who’s ever faced that impossible choice. Two pieces of bread and butter, nutty and slightly charred, wrap around a thick, generous patty. It was savoury, juicy, and complete with a satisfying patty your teeth just sink into, including a melty slice of cheese. The Angus beef patty was overcooked but somehow wasn’t dry – perhaps because of the good quality beef. Considering the long queue, it best to pop by and grab these babies first!

Swiss Rosti Raclette by The Raclette Factory

We all get excited when we hear the word “Raclette”. There’s something fascinating about cheese melting from the wheel straight onto our plates, and while the raclette ticks all our cheesy boxes, the dish left more to be desired. The rosti lacked crispiness and it was a tad bit over-salted. Pro tip: load up on your H2O!

Poffertjes by Cake Love

If you’re looking for a sweet treat to cut through all that greasy food, then a box of Dutch baby pancakes might just be perfect for you. These adorable little guys come in all sorts of creative flavours from classic icing sugar to ondeh ondeh. We highly recommend the ondeh ondeh option, not just because we’re Singaporean and love our local desserts, but also because it’s one of the really good ondeh ondeh-turned-Western desserts out there, with more than enough gula melaka and desiccated coconut to go around.

Deep-Fried Oreos, Sweet Potato Balls, and Other Pasar Malam Things

Of course, you can’t say you’ve been to a bazaar in Singapore without overdosing on deep-fried goodies. Go ahead and binge on deep-fried Oreos (Mr Q) slathered in condensed milk, syrup, or whatever other toppings you want, addictively chewy sweet potato balls (OMG), and as many flavours of goreng pisang (The Original Pisang Keju) you can imagine. You already know that they taste great, so we’re here to tell you how to make sure you get the greatest of the great.

As a general rule, you want to look for stalls that sell these treats fried on the spot, and stay away from the huge warming displays filled with languishing forgotten soldiers. Deep-fried foods are only worth the cholesterol when they’re just out of the fryer. Those that have been sitting out for a while tend to go soggy or hard. You’ll have to wait at the stalls that prepare their food to order, but trust us when we say that it’s worth the wait.

Watermelon Volcano by Happy Rollies

After a mountain of food, you’re probably craving something to drink. Don’t go running to the nearest Thai milk tea stall yet, though! A watermelon volcano is precisely the refreshing, thirst-quenching drink you’re looking for. Filled to the brim with watermelon milk and bite-sized balls of watermelon, then topped with a mountain of watermelon shaved ice, it’s the best drink we could find in Geylang Serai – even better than the milk tea. It’s got the best price too, with a large watermelon ($10) easily satisfying a party of 6.

Ramadan’s a month for both fasting and feasting! Grab your friends and family to enjoy Halal eats and Ramadan specials at these amazing restaurants.

How to eat yakitori and the best places in Singapore to enjoy them

Post author By Averlynn Lim
Post date May 30, 2018
No Comments on How to eat yakitori and the best places in Singapore to enjoy them

One of the more popular foods in Japan, yakitori is skewered chicken grilled over a charcoal fire. You’ve probably eaten them before, but how much do you know about these tasty morsels? It’s time to brush up your yakitori know-how!

What is Yakitori?

There are many different types of yakitori, made using various parts of the chicken from the thigh to the skin. After grilling over the open fire, they are usually seasoned with two kinds of seasonings: tare sauce and salt. Tare sauce, a thickened and sweetened soy sauce with a stronger flavour profile, is heavier on the palate. Shio (salt) seasoning, on the other hand, allows the taste of the meat to shine through.

Yakitori Condiments

To flavour your yakitori, you can choose from a range of unique Japanese condiments which can be usually found on the tables of yakitori restaurants. For some heat, go for the Shichimi Togarashi, which is a powdered mix of seven different spices such as chilli, mustard, and sansho pepper, made from ground sansho peppercorns. To add some tang, try the umeboshi, a very sour paste made from salt-pickled Japanese plums.

How Should I Eat Yakitori?

To fully savour the flavours of yakitori, start eating meats which are more lightly seasoned before working your way up to those which are heavier tasting. To get an authentic Japanese experience, grab a handful of those skewers before chomping the meat straight off the stick. Messy but oh-so-good. And, when you’re finished eating, place your skewers into the cup/container provided. You will find them on every table!

Now that you’re armed with some knowledge, it’s time to apply it! We’ve curated a list of yakitori places in Singapore so grab a meat-loving friend and check out these places!

1. Sumire Yakitori House

An established Yakitori restaurant in Tokyo, Sumire offers diners sizzling barbecued meat skewers along with beer and sake. For dinner, their standard Sumire Course Menu (S$30++ per pax without drinks, S$58++ per pax with all-you-can-drink) offers 12 courses comprising a variety of yakitori sticks. Chow down on treats like Chicken Shoulder and Chicken Breast, while enjoying some refreshing drinks.

Find it at 80 Middle Road, #01-88/89, Singapore 188966.
Earn 2x Chope-Dollars with code TASTYBLOG.

2. Bincho

People looking for a unique dining experience should head to Bincho, which combines the contemporary and the traditional. Inspired by the yakitori-ya in Osaka, this hip bistro operates in an old-school kopitiam. In the day, you’ll find them hawking unassuming local favourites, such as mee pok and kopi roti. Come nightfall, the space transforms into a modern open-concept yakitori bar headed by Chef Asai Masashi, with the bar featuring progressive and playful Japanese-inspired cocktails, hard liquor, sake, and more. If your date’s a sucker for Japanese food, bring him/her here to indulge in some skewer-less meats that are full of smoky, meaty goodness!

Find it at 78 Moh Guan Terrace #01-19, Singapore 162078.
Earn 2x Chope-Dollars with code TASTYBLOG.

3. Nanbantei

Featuring succulent meat skewers, seafood, and vegetables fresh off the grill, Nanbantei offers a wide selection of yakitori and bento sets. The meat here is lightly seasoned with sea salt to allow the flavours of the meat to shine through. They are then grilled over a special charcoal that’s been imported from Japan, giving the meats a distinctive smokiness. Pick from options such as the asparagus maki (asparagus wrapped with pork), tebasaki (chicken wings), tsukune (chicken meatballs), and shiso maki (pork with shiso leaf).

Earn 2x Chope-Dollars with code TASTYBLOG when you book a table at these outlets:

4. Hibiki Yakitori Lounge

Chug down mugs of beer while you indulge in stick after stick of charcoal-grilled goodness at Hibiki. This nondescript yakitori joint is popular amongst Japanese executives looking to get a taste of their home country. Bite on succulently grilled meat skewers such as Negima (chicken thigh and charred leeks) and Jikase Tsukune (chicken meatballs with a mild and spicy seasoning), the restaurant’s top picks. If you’re an adventurous eater, go for their Kurobuta Yakiton, which are chewy skewers of black pig organs.

Find it at 833 Bukit Timah Road, #01-06, Royalville, Singapore 279887.
