Bali’s top 30 for the holiday season!

Eng | Bahasa

It’s that time of the year again! Like they say, “A little bit of summer is what the whole year’s all about”, and this time, summer coincides with the Muslim religious holiday, Eid-al-Fitr. Since this is a festival that most of Indonesia celebrate, holiday-hotspot Bali will surely be buzzing with tourists from all over — expect some places to be packed like sardines! To prepare yourself, book the best restaurants beforehand so you won’t go home on an empty stomach. Here are some great places to celebrate the holiday season!

Ubud

Kemiri Restaurant (COMO Uma Ubud)

Welcome to the land of yoga and wellness. Take a stroll through Campuhan Ridge Walk, enjoy the lush scenery, and unplug for a bit. Afterwards, you can have an authentic Indonesian lunch at Hujan Locale, Kemiri, Nomad, or The Restaurant at the Chedi Club Tanah Gajah.

It’s time for some Bali-exploration! Be captivated by a kecak dance performance or visit the cheeky Ubud Monkey Forest for the ultimate Bali experience! After that, drop by the Habitat Cafe for a healthy and refreshing meal. But, if you feel like lazing the day away, sink into cool waters and watch the time fly by at Folk, or better yet! Enjoy stunning Ubud alongside Bali’s acclaimed sunset at Sayan House. Reservations are essential but fret not, we’ve got your back. Book your dinner at the best of Ubud — BLANCO par Mandif, Kubu at Mandapa, Pica, and bridges will be your best bets.

Seminyak

Mrs. Sippy Bali

Oh my, we seriously don’t know where to start. Seminyak is such a fun area to explore! Experience the largest saltwater pool at Mrs. Sippy, grab a quick bite at Bo & Bun, or put on your sunnies and sip on a cold rosé while enjoying a delightful meal at Ijen, whereby zero wastage is promoted to lower carbon footprint. Wander around Jl. Kayu Aya and pick your favourites from a treasure trove — from traditional handmade souvenirs to designer boutiques, you name it, this street has it. You won’t be lacking dinner options here in Seminyak with Mamasan, Sarong, Da Maria, and Barbacoa being definite favourites. When you’ve had your fill, dance the night away at La Favela, but don’t forget to snap some shots at the cute photobox on the second floor!

Canggu

From_the_Land_Tongseng_Kambing_1554128131
SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar

If Seminyak and Ubud were to have a child, Canggu would be their baby. Start your day right by joining a barre class or relax through sunrise flow yoga at Fitspot Bali. Then, move on to indulge in great food at all-time favourite cafe Milk & Madu at Jl. Pantai Berawa, or enjoy a caffeine boost amidst ravishing rice fields at Cinta Cafe. Another must do is renting a motorbike and visiting the bustling local flea market around Batu Bolong area — like they say, reuse and recycle! Spend the rest of your afternoon lounging and watching the sunset from the beautiful La Brisa, surf at Echo Beach, or lay back and relax at the sophisticated COMO beach club. Spoil your taste buds with an exotic twist on traditional Indonesian flavour at SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar. If Japanese is your thing, modern restaurants Musubi and Ji are some of the eateries we take delight in.

Kuta

Screen_Shot_2018_06_29_at_11_5_1531913996
Il Tempio Bali

The jewel of Bali, the one that first brought the island to fame. Take a walk along the beach and splurge a little at the Beachwalk Shopping Mall *wink*. When hunger strikes, pay a visit to our favourite Italian places — Il Tempio and Jamie’s Italian Bali are just around the corner. Waterbom Bali is a One-of-a-Kind experience you just have to try in the city, and we believe you deserve a medal for completing the thrilling 5GX Reverse Bungy without throwing up. Treat yourself to a delicious meal of juicy, tender dry-aged meat at Henry’s Grill and Bar, or stuff your face at Feast Restaurant, located in Bali Kuta Resort. We hope you brought your dancing shoes, because LXXY is a glamorous nightclub not to be missed.

Sundays with Les Bouchons’ New Brunch Menu

Rise and shine, folks. It’s time for some Sunday brunching! Come with your family or friends for the new Bouchons Riviera Brunch, the perfect perk-me-up on a lazy Sunday.

Les Bouchons was established in 2002, with its first opening at Ann Siang Hill. The Robertson Quay outlet boasts a similar French bistro vibe and with the added charm of the French Riviera, comes the name Les Bouchons Rive Gauche. Helmed by French Chef Mickael Cornac, guests can expect a truly authentic dining experience that’s rooted in Parisian culture and flavour. Bubbly and amicable, Chef Mickael spoke with such gusto for every dish, throwing in nibbles of fun facts, for a little behind-the-scenes look at the concoction of the beautiful plates before our eyes.

Launched last April, Bouchons Rivera Brunch is served only at its Robertson Quay outlet. The menu, creatively-inspired by the French Riviera, is the brand’s first-ever attempt at brunch. And dare we say, it was a pretty, darn good brunch!

For starters, give a shot at the Eggs Mimosa and Escargot de Bourgogne. The former is more commonly known as Devil’s Eggs — a creamy mousse of eggs accompanied by garlic-sauteed asparagus for an extra bite. With the clever addition of dashes of mustard and lemon juice, the eggy rendition is flavourful and a rightfully delightful starter.

Eggs Mimosa $14++

Another great way to ease yourselves into the mains would be Les Bouchons’ signature escargots. The French delicacy is served with warm, toasted breads from French bakery Paul, great for moping up the deliciously addictive garlic-parsley butter. Psst, Chef Mickael is pretty generous with seconds too!

Escargot de Bourgogne $16++

Moving on to the mains, you’ll be glad you came in groups! The serving is exceptionally generous, great for sharing. From nutritious bowls to hearty roasts, there’s definitely something for everyone!

Starting off with the health-conscious, this one’s for you. The Wellness Bowl is the perfect blend of textures and flavours — crunchy granola, honey yoghurt, tea-soaked goji berries, fresh bananas, chia seeds, and get this, balsamic-infused strawberries! The infusion lends a surprisingly tangy twist to the sweet fruit that refreshes your palate.

Riviera Wellness Bowl $18++

For a savoury healthy option, go for the Guele de Bois. Quipped as Bouchons Hangover Cure, this is another great bowl of goodness. Colourful and decadent, the dish boasts the highly raved ‘Impossible’ meatballs, strong scents of truffle oil with creamy scrambled eggs, and sides of juicy roasted cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and asparagus. The meatballs exude a slightly sweet undertone, bringing out the truffled eggs really well in a nice pairing.

Gueule de Bois (Bouchons Hangover Cure) $24++

For carnivores, fret not! Meet the meats. Bouchons Sunday Roast will have you drooling at the sight of the glorious meaty delight. For the roast, there is a weekly rotation between meats like quail and slow-cooked short ribs. For our visit, we were treated to the amazing 10-hour slow-cooked short ribs. Unbelievably fragrant, the beef was infused beautifully with rosemary, garlic, and thyme — simply melt-in-your-mouth umaminess. Meltingly-tender, the roast is gastronomically worth every single calorie and penny.

Remember to call in advance to see if your favourite is available for the coming Sunday brunch!

Bouchons Sunday Roast $32++

If it’s your first time at Les Bouchons, then you’ve got to try the Grilled Black Angus Rib Eye Steak. A Les Bouchons mainstay, be prepared to fall in love with the succulent yet still delicately-tender cut, complete with free-flow house-made fries! The vigneron (shallot and mustard) butter is slathered all over the meat, giving the 300g steak an added richness. It’s no wonder that the juicy cut remains a best-selling crowd favourite till this day.

Grilled Black Angus Rib Eye Steak $39.80++

As brunch winds down, end off your Sunday outing on a sweet note. Chef Mickael has whipped up desserts with just as much passion as the City of Love. Bite into the decadent Chocolate Brownie, served warm and contrasted against the cool vanilla ice-cream atop. Made with 66% dark chocolates, rest assured that the fudgy dessert won’t be cloyingly sweet.

Chocolate Brownie “Fait Maison” $10++

Another Les Bouchons favourite, the Creme Brulee will steal the hearts of sweet-lovers. Velvety-smooth without the eggy custard taste, the rendition here is invigorated with a slight citrusy hint, courtesy of the creative Chef Mickael. Scoop a spoonful of that smokey, caramelised brown sugar coating and you’ll soon be in French heaven. Other dessert options include the Crepe, with choices of Nutella, fine sugar, banana, or honey — great for the little ones.

Rizu Modern Japanese Cuisine: Omakase Done Right

Just when we thought that we’ve tried all the Japanese spots in Singapore, more seem to pop up every month! If Telok Ayer is your usual haunt, it’s time to add another sushiya to your list. Cue Rizu Modern Japanese Cuisine, the latest addition to the slew of hangouts at Duxton Hill that is sure to give the other eateries a run for their money.

A Cosy Japanese Respite

If you’re looking for a quiet space to enjoy an exquisite Japanese spread, look no further than this quaint sushiya. The ambience is rather dim, which may not be ideal if you’re trying to take snapshots of the gorgeous interiors and dishes. However, rest assured that the experience here will make up for it! Choose a seat al fresco to soak in the ambiance along Duxton Hill, or take a table indoors and delight in the deep blue interiors of the restaurant.

The service is attentive but not ostentatious, and the waiting staff is always ready to answer any queries about the menu items. Attention to detail is impeccable here; from the food down to the tableware, small meaningful details are added to give Rizu that extra personal touch!

Simple Yet Impressive Japanese Creations

The best way to have a taste of Chef Noboru Shimohigashi’s culinary ingenuity is through Rizu’s Special Omakase, comprised of 11 specially-prepared dishes using the freshest ingredients of the day. Bringing diners through a journey of flavours, Chef Noboru brings diners on an experience to remember.

Some of our favourites include:

Live Lobster, Abalone, and Sashimi

When this massive platter hits the table, you’ll be mesmerised by the assortment of fresh sashimi on display. This spread features a worldly catch from some of the best fishing sites across the globe, from the cool waters of Boston and Norway to the Eastern seas of Japan and Korea. Need a testament to its freshness? Pay close attention to the ‘decorative’ lobster head – if you’re lucky enough, you’ll catch it moving from time to time!

Lobster Bisque

Unlike the creamy European version, the seafood bique at Rizu is a lighter version that’s pleasing to the palate and heartwarming at the same time. Packed with flavours of the ocean, the lobster bisque is extremely satisfying and the chunks of lobster meat add texture to the smooth, delicious broth.

Foie Gras Sauté with Plum Sauce

Chef Noboru’s ingenious way of pairing the buttery foie gras with the figs, plum sauce, and ume flesh makes this seemingly simple dish stand out on its own. The refreshing tartness of the fruits cut through the savoury foie gras – it’s undeniably a match made in heaven.

Wagyu Steak with Special Wasabi Sauce

Indulgence seems to be a recurring theme in Rizu’s omakase but we’re not complaining! One good example is Chef Noboru’s Wagyu Steak with Special Wasabi Sauce. Tender and beautifully marbled steak slices are seared to perfection, served with a side of seasonal vegetables. For those weary of wasabi, you can take comfort in knowing that the sauce tastes more like earthy sesame sauce dressing.

Sukiyaki Rice Bowl with Miso Soup

Fans of sukiyaki will adore this dish. Savoury and slightly sweet, the beef slices are cooked extremely tender with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. The flavours lean towards the stronger side, but with the light miso soup, it comes together beautifully. The golden, runny onsen egg gives the rice extra depth that amps up the lux factor.

Crumble, Pear Gelee and Pear with Vanilla Ice Cream

To cleanse the palate, treat yourself to the Crumble, Pear Gelee and Pear with Vanilla Ice Cream. For those watching your waistlines, this light dessert is the perfect way to round up a meal. It’s not extremely sweet, which makes it a perfect dishes for those who aren’t too fond sweetness.

Love books as much as you love food? Then this latest addition at Tanjong Pagar will be right up your alley. Cook & Tras Social Library is a bibliophile’s heaven; with its interior walls lined with wood-panelled bookshelves, you’d be tempted to grab a book and retire to the plush armchairs for the day.

The menu here takes its cues from Straits Chinese cuisine and marries the traditional staples with Western techniques to create unique dishes like the Wagyu Reuben Sandwich, a hearty dish of juicy steak between two pieces of grilled bread with a salad on the side. For something a little closer to home, the Laksa is an excellent option. The dish is made with creamy coconut milk stewed with traditional spices and cooked with bouncy noodles. Prefer a tipple instead? The C+T Shakerato is sure to hit the spot. Made with coffee, liquor, and martini, this drink is sure to fuel all that late night reading.

We can never get enough of Japanese cuisine, which is why we were excited to hear that Torio Japanese Restaurant opened its doors in Telok Ayer. This sushiya stays true to Japanese roots, keeping its interiors and ambiance simple and minimalistic.

If you’re around the area for lunch, pop by and indulge in any of their lunch sets. We’re fond of their Chirashi Lunch Set, featuring fresh fatty tuna and salmon chunks as well as generous helpings of ikura roe and uni toppings on a bed of fresh Japanese rice. There’s also a lot of buzz about their omakase offerings, featuring generous servings of fresh ingredients from Japan at a reasonable price.

7. The Copper Plate

Cr: The Straits Times

With so many events and communities popping up in Singapore, it comes as no surprise that the little red dot has become known as the leading city for whisky appreciation in the region.

This January, we’ve got our eyes on The Copper Plate, where whisky is served by the carafe (you heard that right!). Taking the reins are the group behind Singapore’s Quaich Bar and ex-William Grand & Sons brand ambassador Matthew Fergusson-Stewart so you can anticipate an experience that’s outside the box.

Of course, the whiskies aren’t the only stars here; The Copper Plate dishes up some pretty amazing dishes as well, such as grilled prawns and barbecued Japanese squid. We can’t think of a better way to end the day than enjoying a dram with your friends over lip-smacking grub.

Forget store-bought cheese; get yours at The Mast’ of Mozzarella & CO.!

Cheese fans rejoice! You can now tuck into some of the freshest cheese in town at The Mast’ of Mozzarella & CO., the newest addition to the slew of eateries in Tanjong Pagar.

Originally from Rome, The Mast’ of Mozzarella offers freshly-made cheeses and delicious Italian platters at their first Southeast Asian outlet that acts as a delicatessen, osteria, and bar, all in one place. It’s also the only osteria that boasts a laboratory-like facility that produces mozzarella, burrata, and stracciatella daily on site!

Passersby in the area can easily check out the cheese-making process that’s open for everyone to see through the glass windows but if you’re curious, here’s a little sneak peek to satisfy your cheesy cravings:

First, the mozzarella maestros add a controlled amount of buffalo milk imported from Italy, rennet, and salt to the churner.

Fun fact: The Mast’ only uses high-quality milk imported straight from the osteria’s very own buffalo farm in Valle dei Templi in Paestum, Southern Italy, so you know you’re getting the real deal.

It takes roughly 5 to 10 minutes to churn the mozzarella; thereafter, the cheese is ready to be formed into balls! The rollers will then press out the mozzarella balls according to the moulds attached to the machine.

The Mast’ makes mozzarella in a variety of sizes, and they’re made twice daily. If this isn’t fresh, we don’t know what is!

The cheeses can also be shaped and hand-stretched; one of the more popular and common ways to do it is to braid them.

You can even make them into tiny braids too! Come on – how cute is that!?

The best part about The Mast’ is that you get to experience these dairy delights right at the osteria; with cheeses so fresh, it’s a tough one to beat!

   

Hot Off the Brick: Salmone Scozzese e Zucchine

One of the many ways to enjoy the freshly made mozzarella is through the toasty and lip-smacking pinse, which are roman flat breads crowned with a variety of toppings that tickle your fancy.

We recommend the Salmon Pinse, where buffalo mozzarella are torn and adorned alongside smoked salmon and zucchini on a well-baked flatbread. This baby feeds two easily, so grab a friend and share the love!

   

Fresher than Fresh: Tris di Bufala

If your love for mozzarella runs deep, the perfect dish to order is the Tris di Bufala. Enjoy a selection of burrata, mozzarella, and special burrata that come served on schiacciata bread with mixed salads. The brightness of the balsamic vinegar adds tartness to the mellow, pillowy mozzarella, giving them a touch of excitement.

But don’t just take our word for it; visit The Mast’ of Mozzarella & Co. and enjoy the best of Italian cheese today!

First thing we noticed is that they don’t serve utensils. That’s because they strongly believe in sustainability, hence the recycled wood walls and minimal use of utensils. Also, Chef Adam Penney recommends you to chow down these bad boys with your bare hands. So don’t hesitate to get your hands dirty like how we did!

Fun fact: The chef loves hip hop so if you’re a fan, you’ll love the old school hip hop music playing in the background. You can probably also relate to burger names like Redman and Bun DMC, and their personalised stickers are adorable too!

Sly Stallone

IMG_0245 2.jpg

Every bite of the Sly Stallone is refreshing and satisfying. The burger is packed with pesto flavour, but not so overpowering and you can still taste the layer of flavours from the Australian Dorper lamb patty, Quader de Cavra cheese, juicy heritage tomato slices, and crunchy lettuce. The lamb patty is tender and fragrant so it’s easy on the taste buds. Sandwiched between two thick toasted demi brioche bun, be prepared to get messy with this one.

Redman

Love beef rendang? This one’s right up your alley. Redman burger does an interesting spin on beef rendang. In one bite, you can taste the tender 24-hour cooked black Angus beef cheek rendang, pickle mooli (radish), and cucumber slices. The burger hits you with a subtle coconut flavour from the coconut mayo and toasted coconut demi brioche buns. This bad boy has a familiar yet unique local taste with a sweet and spicy kick.

Big Krabby Kane

Big Krabby Kane is our favourite. The blue swimmer crab patty covered in salted egg mayonnaise with a touch of chilli, lime, and coriander come together perfectly. We were pleasantly surprised by how thick and flavourful the patty is. The crisp lettuce adds a textural crunch to the burger. Shiok is the word to describe this dish.

Besides the burgers, another must-have on the menu is the Miso Dirty Fries. Crispy potato slices  drenched in miso béarnaise sauce, smoked chicken sausage and floss, chives, scallions, and pickle chilli- this dish will whisk you away to sinful nirvana!

IMG_0256 2 2.jpg

What better way to pair your burger than a cold, creamy milkshake? We were thrilled to try 3 MONKEYS, Monkey Shoulder infused banana milkshake. The kick from the whisky perks you right up and the hint of banana and generous amount of whipped cream mellows out the taste from the whisky. Before you know it, you would have finished this thirst-quencher in no time.

If that isn’t enough to tempt you, we’ve got good news to share! Add Three Buns to your supper list as they are offering 1-for-1 burgers or dawgs from Tuesdays to Sundays, starting from 9.30pm. Wind down after work at this relaxing spot after 5pm every Tuesdays to Thursdays to enjoy cocktails and beers at a starting price of $8. The best part? Bring along your furry babies and they get to devour angus beef patties for free when you dine here!

Discover a hidden world of Japanese yakitori at 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 them here to indulge in some skewer-less meats that are full of smoky, meaty goodness!

Head down the Moh Guan Terrace alley and around the back of the unassuming Hua Bee stand to find a metal door with small Bincho lettering. Then down the rabbit hole you go, transitioning briskly from the traditional neighbourhood feel to a hipster atmosphere, complete with rough edges, shady lighting, and oxidized copper tones. Take a seat at the marbled bar for a front row seat to all the grilling action, or the domed booths to get your drink on, like the restaurant’s most notable fruit, herb and sake-centric cocktails from the resident barkeep. With both food and drink menus largely in-flux at the whim of the chef and bartender, it’s best to go with the daily recommendations.

Food-wise, skewer-less yakitori is just the smoky, meaty goodness you’re accustomed to. Chicken parts are especially tasty, while the Miyabi hot pot offers an alternative to the grill. As with most hyper-cool gastrobars, both portions and elbowroom are limited, while prices tend to be upmarket. However, with an underground vibe this cool, and a contrasting concept this daring, both the search and cost are certainly worth it!
