[Egg Hunt Hint!] 12 Must-Try Restaurants in Vivocity

As the biggest mall in Singapore, you can be sure that you won’t go hungry after a day’s shopping spree at Vivocity! From the most tantalising Japanese grills to exquisite Chinese creations, check out these 12 restaurants that are at the ready to satisfy your stomachs.

Brotzeit

Sausage_Platterbeers

Stepping into this restaurant is akin to getting a big hug; the warm lighting and cosy ambience draw you in and the next thing you know, you’re settling in and enjoying a good, tall glass of Deutsche bier. And don’t worry if you aren’t particularly well versed in beer: their menu has a Beer Taste Chart that allows you to choose based on your preferences, so you’re in good hands.

Try their Fleischbällchen (mini beef-pork meatballs) or Gebackene Schwammerl (Fried Mushrooms), both irresistibly finger-licking good. For sharing, the Wunderplatte (good for 6) is a sure winner if you can’t choose among their selection of sausages and meats. We wouldn’t hold it against you if you want to tackle their Crispy Oven Roasted Pork Knuckle solo either – it’s rendered so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it’s almost impossible to resist!

Diners can also choose from the usual selections such as sashimi, sushi, donburi, and more.  It’s also worth a mention that Shin Kushiya uses imported Bincho Charcoal from Japan that’s known for the clean-charcoal smokiness it imparts to food during grilling.

For food just like Grandma made (and isn’t that a relaxing feeling after a shopping spree?), Soup Restaurant has our vote. They’ve been cooking up authentic ‘Singapore Chinatown Heritage’ cuisine since their humble beginnings in 1991, and have since grown to over 15 branches across Southeast Asia. They’ve still managed to retain that home-cooked feel and taste, with warming double-boiled soups, deliciously marinated meats and tofu, and stir-fried veggies.

If Tajimaya’s quality grills with a gorgeous panoramic view of Sentosa Island is not enough to convince you, then we don’t know what will. This gorgeous spot allows diners to grill their own meats at the table, having full control over how they prefer them.

Deck your tables with the tantalising seafood, or splash out on delectable Kurobuta Pork and luxurious Wagyu beef selections. Whichever way you fancy, Tajimaya makes sure that you’re in for a treat. Plus, their high tech exhaust systems also ensure that you won’t be leaving Tajimaya smelling like your food either. The best things to go with your grills are sake and shochu; here, you get both of the finest quality that will appease any true yakiniku connoisseur.

Earle Swensen’s

There’s a reason why you’ll find so many joints serving up classic American grub in malls – sizeable portions, hearty fillings, and a dizzying selection of sweets are perfect for a refuel after fighting the crowds and hours on your feet. Earl Swensen’s is, let’s say, the refined sibling of Swensen’s, drawing inspiration from San Francisco eats. They’ve worked to include a variety of healthier bites (like that wickedly fresh buffet salad bar that comes with all entrées), alongside charbroiled steaks, succulent burgers, and a variety of gelato flavours. We’re totally down for some California dreamin’ in VivoCity.
