For Savoury Pleasures: Peranakan Classics
Experience Peranakan cuisine like no other at this Funan Mall joint with a pretty alfresco space to boot.

Their Set Menu for 2 ($80++) begins with their crispy Emping Chips and fragrant Ngoh Hiang, as well as other classics like Ayam Buah Keluak, Chap Chye, and signature Babi Assam. This set also comes with bunga telang rice (butterfly blue pea rice), nyonya achar and sambal belacan. End on a sweet note with Pulut Hitam Panna Cotta — Godmama’s, featuring a silken coconut panna cotta served with pulut hitam and coconut crumble — plus a drink of your choice.

For Indulgent Pleasures: Asian-Fusion Feasts
Everyone’s go-to for a night of drinking and feasting, this restaurant in CHIJMES is well-known for their Prawn & Seaweed Aglio Olio ($25), which Burppler Maureen Ow describes as “juicy tiger prawns with pasta tossed in crustaceans-infused oil and topped with Japanese seaweed”. Perfect for sharing would be the Mushroom & Truffle ($23) and Okonomiyaki ($25) flatbread pizza, which sees a rendition of the Japanese okonomiyaki atop a crispy flatbread. Use your second Burpple Beyond deal for 1-for-1 Heineken or switch it up with a non-alcoholic choice. Of course, the signature beers here might be the inspiration you need before your next SWF event.

For Alcoholic Pleasures: Craft Cocktails
Newly opened in the Arcade @ The Capitol Kempinski, Hopscotch is your spot for a casual meal over craft cocktails alfresco-style in the comforts of their air-conditioned atrium. Pair your tipple with their Buttermilk Cereal Prawn Burger ($22), which sees thick vannamei prawn patties topped with buttermilk cream sauce and fragrant Singapore-style fried cereal. Other must-orders include the Chili Lobster Linguine ($28) and Guinness Beef Bourguignon ($26).

Also brewing: Curtain Call — a specially crafted cocktail inspired by Capitol Theatre, an embodiment of entertainment.

PPP Coffee: 1-for-1 Espresso Soft Serve (save ~$6.50)Photo by Burppler Vanessa Kou | *Deal Expiry Date: 30 Sep 2022    

For Sweet Pleasures: Creamy Espresso Softserve
Looking for a sweet, caffeine kick in between the SWF events? PPP is your place. Unwind over a round of Flat White ($6.50) and signature Papa’s Iced Coffee ($8.50), featuring a twist of the classic iced latte with homemade coffee jelly. Don’t miss out on the Espresso Soft Serve ($6.50) that had Burppler Vanessa Kou raving about the “perfectly flavoured” swirls. “The aftertaste was pleasant as well, as the distinct astringency of the espresso was gently masked with a delicate milky sweetness. Paired with almond brittles and granola (with dried cranberry) bits, the added textures were very much welcome.” Sounds like the perfect perk-me-up!   

Indulge in all your food fantasies at SWF this November with insightful food panels celebrating cross-culture cuisines with Masterchef judge Audra Morrice and acclaimed French chef Julia Sedefdjian, breakfast-themed poetry workshops, dessert-inspired writing workshops at The Fabulous Baker Boy, and even an anti-diet cooking series with award-winning chef behind Artichoke Bjorn Shen.
