Pacific Plaza is fast becoming a hotspot for new, buzzy places to open. Joining Michelin-starred ramen joint Tsuta is Kam’s Roast, which hails from Hong Kong. This three-time Michelin-starred restaurant is known for its excellent roast meats such as goose, duck and pork. While goose is not offered in Singapore due to our regulations, their other roasted offerings are worth a try. Get the signature super fatty ‘Toro’ Char Siu ($22.80) that is set to guarantee a lip-smacking meal with its sweet-smoky flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Kam’s Roast also makes a great version of wonton noodles, so be sure to have an order of the springy and fragrant Braised Noodle laced with Ginger Scallion ($6.80) to complete your meal!

This established hawker stall commands at least an hour's wait at Pek Kio Market but you can now get your noodle fix quicker at its new outlet at Esplanade. Situated just a few doors down from Alter Ego, Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodles has opened its first branch and is fully air-conditioned, so you can have your piping hot noodles in comfort! Rest assured, despite the more accessible location and facilities (they use iPads here for their orders!), prices are just a mere one dollar increase from its original outlet. Choose from four sizes of prawns (from $6 to $30) and you can opt to have the noodles dry or with soup. This 65-year-old stall puts great care into creating its signature prawn broth, boiling the stock for four hours before its served, which is why we are partial to the soup version. Be sure to try all four of their lip-smacking chilli sauces! Apart from prawn noodles, the restaurant also serves a variety of seafood like freshly shucked oysters from France and USA ($48 per dozen) that comes with sauces in syringes, as well as succulent Grilled Squid ($15).
