1. Godmama

New Spot Godmama

If you haven’t already been, the newly revamped Funan Mall is THE HOTSPOT after Jewel at Changi. No kidding, this mall has a maze-like layout, and is filled to the brim with innovative retail stalls. That’s why it’s no doubt that Funan is home to one-of-a-kind dining spots like Godmama! 

This Peranakan restaurant offers both indoor and alfresco seats, with the latter allowing you to have a great view of Funan’s rooftop garden. Godmama infuses modern elements into its traditional Peranakan plates—their All-Star Egg Skin Popiah is a hit with both the young and the old! Chock-full of comforting stewed veggie fillings, fresh prawns, and loaded with crispy garlic bits (the more crunch the better), their hearty popiah sure hits the spot after a day of exploring Funan’s facade.

We know, you’ve probably been to Joo Chiat for an #OOTD session or two along its pastel-hued shophouses, but here’s another reason to visit the hipster enclave. If you’re pacing around the East, wondering what to have for dinner, head to Jimoto Dining, a quaint Omakase restaurant nestled amongst the other stylish cafes and bars. Helmed by Chef Takahiro Sato, the restaurant serves affordable, quality Japanese fare. 

As sushi lovers ourselves, we too were intrigued by how Chef Sato uses Akazu—Red Vinegar—to make the sushi rice. The Red Vinegar adds a touch of acidity, and gives an umami flavour to the sushi rice—oishi! Sake-lovers, we haven’t forgotten about you! With their extensive sake list, you’re sure to find the perfect drink for every course! All omakase courses at Jimoto Dining consist of an appetiser, sushi, and dish of the day from the hot-kitchen. If you’re looking for a quick-fix post work, take up the five-course Toki ($55+), served only from 6—7pm. On the other hand, their Introductory Sanpuru ($68+), innovative Kakushin ($98+) and the premium Zeitaku ($128+) are perfect choices if you’re looking to impress a date.

Fresh Eats: A Medley of 9 May Treats!

There’s no better way to begin the month than with Chope’s Fresh Eats. Start May afresh with these 9 new highlights!

1. Wildseed Cafe & Bar (The Alkaff Mansion)

Kicking off the list of eats at Alkaff Mansion is Wildseed Cafe. Guests can expect a glorified garden encased within a beautiful interior where dried flowers and plants line the cafe, a sight so pretty you’ll unknowingly let out a gasp.

By day, the cafe serves up hearty brunch and lunch favourites like the comforting Bagel Eggs Benny, all made from locally-sourced ingredients. As the night falls, sit back and relax in a dinner setting amidst a lush, edible garden. The cafe transforms into a grill bar, where you can order bar bites to go with your beer. Try the Cheesy Bar Chor Nachos Platter, an interesting twist on the usual bar nosh, yet still equally devilishly good. The fried calamari also goes excellently well with the citrusy yuzu kuso mayo, adding a zesty hint to the crispy delight.

Live acoustic music on Fridays through Sundays coupled with a laidback ambience, and a cold, garden-inspired cocktail in hand will give you a good reason to get out on the weekends.

2. TXA Pintxo Bar

TXA? And, pintxo? What’s all these?

TXA pronounced as ‘Cha’ and pintxo pronounced as ‘pin-cho’, come together to make Singapore’s first Basque country experience, native to San Sebastian, Spain. Pintxo, the Basque region’s favourite snack, is a bite-sized morsel served on a stick, great for parties and gatherings to share amongst friends and family.

Bringing you the vibrant romance of the Spanish Basque country, TXA Pintxo Bar belts out upbeat hits to warm you up for the exciting activities lined up that’ll get you right into the groove. Select your choice of pintxo from flaky iberico crackers with smokey cod roe or salted cod with chorizo breadcrumbs, complete with a mildly pickled flavour of piparras to cut through the brine with some tang.

Pair all these Spanish eats with creative concoctions. Refresh your taste buds with the Rebujito, a delightful mix of white vino with lemon juice and Sprite, topped off with herby tinges of spearmint and rosemary. For the refined, the Pisco Sour’s a good choice. Expect brandy with egg whites and lime juice, an unexpected combination that’ll surprise your senses along with the sugary syrup and Angostura Bitters.

Find it at 10 Telok Blangah Green, Singapore 109178

3. UNA

Opening its doors once again, but this time at The Alkaff Mansion, stop by for a romanticised night of old favourites from UNA’s former Rochester venue. Revitalising the century-old heritage building with its Basque country’s Spanish vibes, UNA brings the best of the Basque region with it. Singapore’s first-ever partnership with the Basque Culinary Institute gifts diners with wholly authentic Basque region’s produce, culture, and cuisine.

Start off with the grilled octopus and let the smoky char of the mollusk engulf your senses with each bite as the paprika spikes the dish with some heat. Come in groups and get the Arroz Negro to share. Lathered in squid ink, savour the brine of the ocean in a garlicky aioli with crunchy cuttlefish, succulent prawns, and juicy clams. Wind down your meal on a sweet note with the Flan de Huevo, a combination of caramel flan with strawberries and citrus elements — a perfect bittersweet ending with an added zing.

Joining the enclave of Korean eateries in Tanjong Pagar is none other than the homely Sikdang. The Korean interpretation of the restaurant name itself refers to a fun and casual diner. The simplicity of its naming translates into its recipes whereby frills and thrills are done away, leaving only the pure essence of heartwarming hospitality at pocket-friendly prices.

The chef here lives by a saying — create food like how his eomeoni (mother) would’ve made them, genuine and passionate. Authenticity at its finest, give a shot at the hotpots, reminiscent of traditional Korean flavours that’ll have you slurping up every last drop. Even the sauces here aren’t spared.

Housing an intimate 15-seater counter setting, diners are attended to by Chef Fukashi, a meticulous culinary master from a lineage of tea-growers. His heritage inspires the omakase rendition here, whereby aspects of nature are highly prominent in the curated menu. Chef Fukashi artfully designs the menu to elevate nature to a whole new level, incorporating the seven elements of ‘fire’, ‘wind’, ‘sea’, ‘mountain’, ‘field’, ‘ice’, and ‘wood’ into each course.
