Everything about Food and Wine
Lucky House 陶然居
I have heard so much about Chef Sam and his private dinner at Lucky House which has a reservation list of up to 2 years.
Le Bon Funk
We wanted a simple sandwich lunch but somehow ended up at Club street and stepped into Le Bon Funk.
Eastern House of Seafood
Eastern House of Seafood (EHS) has changed its location a couple of times in a span of 3 years.
Song Heng Fishball Noodles
Comfort food with that old-school flavour - pork lard, vinegar, chili, bouncy handmade fishballs and QQ mee pok.
Beng Thin Hoon Kee Restaurant
Traditional Hokkien dishes served in an elegant and cozy setting, this is probably the finest Hokkien restaurant in Singapore.
Yit Lim Soy Sauce Chicken
It does not receive the acclaimed Michelin star but the soy chicken here is so super tender and well flavoured by the sweet and savoury soy-sauce-sauce marinade.
Zi Yean Restaurant
With classic oldies from singers like Teresa Teng and Fong Fei-Fei playing in the background
Deng Wen Ji
I used to frequent East Village for Eng's Wonton Mee and Geylang Ah Ching Calypot rice before we started working from home due to the pandemic.
Shun Feng Roasted Delight
This stall took over Kay Lee Roast Meat in the same coffeeshop as the popular old-school 昇记 Sheng Ji Fishball Noodle in Bukit Merah View about 3 months ago.
VENUE By Sebastian
We used to frequent Restaurant Ember at Hotel 1929 for Chef Sebastian's contemporary European creations. He took a break from the local F&B scene and returned 3 years later to open this bistro-style restaurant.
Compared to Ember, the setting at VENUE is much more casual. There is no pressed tablecloth and you are seated in an open dining hall that opens up to the kitchen on one side and the walkway on the other. With such open concept and the location on the ground floor of a downtown mall would also mean busy human traffic passing by making it difficult for an intimate conversation.
They have deviated from the sharing concept which started when the restaurant first opened due to the COVID situation and are currently offering lunch set on weekdays (2-course for $38++ and 3-course for $46++).
While I prefer the cosier ambience at Ember, the food here is still very “Sebastian”. We are reminded why we have always enjoyed Sebastian's cooking - honest and quality; mod
