Word has gotten around that the location of Hvala at 100AM had recently been revamped into one that is called Halo — the Hvala concept that it had replaced being one that was known for serving up decaffeinated specialty coffee options which previously targeted the office workers around the Central Business District. With this revamp, the brand did revamp some parts of its interior to theme it after the Halo branding. Halo does seem to have gotten its name from the popular Filipino dessert names Halo-Halo; the establishment does have an emphasis on serving up specialty matcha as it has been for Hvala as well as Ube (i.e. purple yam) — Ube being one of the elements that is found in Halo-Halo as well. The menu at Halo is split into sections dedicated to Ube, Ube Cloud, Ube Dessert Latte, Tea, Coffee and Tisanes and Yuzu — the only food offerings that Halo offers are listed in the Pastries and Desserts section of the menu.
The description card placed in front of the item in the display fridge containing the various pastries and desserts that Halo has to offer describes the Ube Mochi Tart to come with elements such as Homemade Butterfly Tartshell, Ube Paste, Ube Filling, Mochi and Coconut Chantilly. Digging into the Ube Mochi Tart, the mochi layer does come stretchy and chewy like what one would expect; it wraps around the tart in the same way as what one would usually experience when having items such as that of ice-cream / gelato with mochi skin wrapped around it. Inside, the tart does seem a little bit more like a dessert tart / pie; the tart being filled with Ube Paste and Ube Filling on the top which gives an earthy and slightly sweet note that carries sufficient flavour throughout the tart. The addition of the Coconut Chantilly does seem to help to gel all of the elements together being soft, light and fluffy with a largely neutral flavour profile.
Innovative yet scrumptious dishes, warm and thoughtful service staff, intimate atmosphere. If only it were less expensive…

Shukuu Izakaya was amazing. Had the pork jowl, sashimi and garlic rice, they were all excellent. The sashimi was fresh, the pork jowls were delicious and its really overall satisfying. The kind of meal where you finish and immediately want to come back and try the other dishes
A truly memorable dining experience with impressive use of wood fire cooking, dry ageing and fermentation throughout the meal. We especially loved the in-house Fermented Ginger Spritz and the Huitre de Céline N1 oysters with sake-ponzu jelly and shiso, which were bursting with umami flavours. The Wagyu Tartare was rich and deeply savoury, while the dry-aged Channel Rockfish stood out with its crispy exterior and tender flesh. Also thoroughly enjoyed the Tajima Wagyu Picanha—definitely a restaurant we would gladly return to again.
Had a great izakaya dinner here with a nice variety of Japanese dishes. The Kaki No Sakamushi and Kani Gratin were comforting and satisfying.
We also enjoyed the grilled Surume Ika Yaki, Tochigi Wagyu, bacon asparagus, and a cold Sapporo to go with everything. Overall, a cosy spot with good food and a pleasant dining experience.
Had a fun sat night here, food is great and service is good too! Really like the parmesan cheese crips!
🌏 Visited Whole Earth today ‼️

My favourite here is definitely the Kang Kong and Hong Kong style noodles ☺️ Tasty delights in the house !!
One thing to note, Love at first bite is a teriyaki monkeyhead mushroom has egg, so only my friends had it, not me 😂
Vegetarian restaurant, allium free. Vegan options available.
Conveniently located near Tanjong Pagar MRT, 5 minutes walk from Exit A.
Highly recommended for foodies to visit here, this is a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand restaurant. 💯 worth a visit.
Visitors should be one of the cafes that one would come across if scrolling around social media in recent times — these folks had most certainly made their mark in the local F&B scene despite it being a new entrant considering the number of posts about it on social media that is going around. Situated at the foot of Blk 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, Visitors takes over the former premises of the now-defunct Badaro Korean Seafood — other dining establishments within its vicinity would include that of the outlet of DOPA and Lad & Dad. Visitors is an establishment by the team behind Noci Pasta Bar at Suntec City; the interior of the establishment is an entire vibe of its own that feels like an attempt to replicate that of a cozy, minimalist living room with a Japandi touch; there is also an outdoor dining area that is decked like a patio space at the entrance as well. Being a cafe with a Korean-style element in the menu, the food menu is split into sections dedicated to Croissant, Brunch and Dessert, while the beverages menu is categorised into segments such as Coffee, Special, Tea, Wine and Beer.
Due to the number of items unavailable in the Brunch section of the menu by the time we had made our visit to Visitors on a weekend before 12 noon, we found ourselves going for the Croissant Butter Selection — this essentially an item in which features their butter croissants being sliced into halves with patrons having the ability to choose between two (2) different toppings to go along with the halved croissants. For our order of the Croissant Butter Selection, we went for the Honey Ricotta and the Prosciutto & Arugula options; the latter coming as a chargeable option that requires a top-up of $1 above the default base price. The Honey Ricotta would be the crowd-pleaser between the two toppings that we had opted for — the butter croissant on its own would fit well for those whom do not like their croissant to be too buttery; it does however come pretty light and crisp, while the airy, laminated interiors of the pastry does make it a light vehicle to have alongside the toppings above it. The ricotta cheese does come smooth and rich; it does seem to carry a creamy consistency, though not particularly heavy nor cheesy flavour-wise and pairs very well with the drizzle of honey that gives everything a light hint of floral sweetness for a contrast of flavours. Meanwhile, the Prosciutto & Arugula will appeal to those whom are into savoury flavours more; the butter croissant is lightly drizzled with olive oil, whilst the prosciutto provides the saltish-ness that one would typically expect out of cured meat — the inclusion of arugula adding a slight bitterness to cut through the savouriness with a sprinkle of pepper and salt to bring the other elements to taste. A very simple item that works well as a light munch whilst at Visitors.
International Plaza is probably better known for being an office tower with a retail podium in its first level that is filled with a myriad of F&B options to satisfy the hungry office workers of the Central Business District — with that being said, the building also does feature a fair share of dining options in the second level; these dining establishments mainly offers Japanese fare despite some of them serving up local and Korean fare as well. One of the latest additions to International Plaza would be Ichiwan Don — these folks can be found at the second level of International Plaza being located in the same area as where one would be able to find Enishi. Ichiwan Don does have a good amount of dine-in seats that features a mix of seating around the counter as well as regular dining tables and chairs. As the namesake of the establishment suggests, Ichiwan Don is an establishment that focuses much of its Donburi options — it does offer Donburi featuring raw fish as well as those that come with cooked elements; those whom prefer noodles can also find two Ramen dishes on the menu as well. Ichiwan Don also does offer some side dishes too on its menu.
The Donburis at Ichiwan Don are being sold as a set; this also means that all Donburi orders do come with a salad as a starter, a bowl of miso soup and a small platter of fruits. Ichiwan Don does not describe the elements that comes with their Donburi offerings; with that being said, it can be observed from our order of the Bara Chirashi Don that the dish does come with an assortment of diced raw fish mixed with Takuan (i.e. Japanese pickled Daikon radish), cucumber and Tamago — all of which being topped off with Tobiko (i.e. flying fish roe) and Negitoro (minced raw tuna). Everything sits above sushi rice that has been sprinkled with Furikake over the top. Digging into the bowl, the assortment of raw fish does come pretty chunky and fresh; there is a good variety of fish that gives a slight variance of textures and flavours while the inclusion of Takuan and cucumber adds an element of crunch and kept things refreshing especially with the former giving a slight tang — the Tamago being the element that provides a softer texture with a sweeter note from the use of Mirin (i.e. Japanese cooking wine) during the preparation process. The Negitoro adds a more fibrous texture to the Bara Chirashi Don — a big plus here considering how most Bara Chirashi Don from other similar establishments would likely having skipped this element, while the flying fish roe gives the entire bowl a popping sensation as one chews into them. The diced cubes of raw fish does come slightly chilled, and this goes well with the room temperature sushi rice that also helped to maintain the temperature of the raw fish — the sushi rice being pearly and sufficiently sticky with a slightly sweet note also from the addition of Mirin in the preparation process, while the Furikake gives the rice an extra umami touch.
