Places and Their Spaces

The restaurant bears no signage – look for lilac coloured walls hidden behind bushes, and take the stairs up.

On greens, the crunchy paku came recommended and it was such a good choice. So crunchy and spicy and just damn simple and good. There are bits of tiny prawns cooked with the greens.

Simply named otak-otak but this dish is anything but. The coconut is chock-full of fish, prawns and squid cooked in a delicious and spicy sauce (or curry). All you need is a bowl of white rice.

Such a generous portion even when we asked for small! Look forward to shreds of crunchy mango doused in a sweet-spicy sauce – be careful when you eat. There’s small slices of red and green chilli mixed in! Perfect to munch on to balance the heat from the spicy otak-otak.

Such a simple dish but done extremely well. Unwrap the pandan leaves to uncover juicy chicken. Good in its own, but also great when dipped into the sweet chilli sauce.

One of the best Thai milk teas I’ve had in a very long time. Not overly sweet, fragrant and still very creamy.

This door alone deserves a post. Such a cute and clever idea with the vending machine door!

SS2’s got a new bar that’s not very hidden, but one that will provide a hideaway from the busy neighbourhood, with cocktails, wine and more. Take the entrance next to Lim Fried Chicken and head upstairs. And remember, don’t push the door but slide it to the left.
