Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Pity that I can’t post more than 1 photo. I had a feast here with friends. The charred corn som tum (pictured) was punchy, tangy and refreshing and I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The moo ping smoked pork ribs were delicious, tender and fall-off-the-bone, the squid was grilled nicely and the shrimp omelette was savoury and crispy, even the prawns were bouncy. I also got the milo martini (great if you like something creamy and full of flavour in every sip!). We rounded off with lemongrass jelly which was perfect to cut through the heavy meal. Satisfying meal!

My friends and I came here for dinner, and it was worth every bite (and star!). Everything was seasoned to perfection, and there was a very eclectic range of Thai food—ranging from the savoury to the refreshing. My personal favourites were the moo ping, which were unbelievably tender and fall-off-the-bone, and the shrimp omelette, which was the perfect balance of fluff and crisp in every bite. I’m not usually a fan of squid, either, but the stuffed squid here was really well done and packed with so much flavour. To round off, we had a lemongrass-infused jelly for dessert which was refreshing, sweet, and simply the perfect end to the night. We will be back for sure!

Much anticipated dinner after the end of a gruelling work week, and it did not disappoint. Spoiled for choice with the variety of starters they offer, I finally decided on the Deep Fried Burrata. The star of the dish, the burrata, had a great texture with a curdy outer shell and a soft, creamy inside that oozed when cut into. The arugula greens on the side were extremely fresh, adding a slight crunch and bitterness that paired well with the burrata. What truly elevated the dish was the pomodoro sauce; its thickness was just right, and it had a fresh flavor with a perfect balance of sweet and sour.

For the main course, I opted for a very unique pizza option, the Japanese A Dog pizza. As the name suggests, all the ingredients are from Japanese cuisine, and they came together beautifully. The pizza bread was extremely well made, stretchy with the right amount of char. It was my first time trying arabiki sausage, and it was surprisingly good, with just the right firmness and a clean, meaty taste.

The decor was simple yet elegant, with a wall design made of corks that I really liked. The dim, warm lighting created a pleasant dining ambiance. The service staff were all extremely friendly, professional, and efficient.

All in all, Paradise Pizza is a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy a great meal after a long work week. Highly recommended!

Sometimes, even on really sunny days, I will crave for a good stew to fill up not only my stomach, but my heart as well. The Soondubu or Seafood Tofu Stew ($16) from Hoodadak does just that with their flavourful soup and plentiful ingredients. I wouldn't say they are the best, but they are decent enough to come back for more. Seafood is quite fresh, and I do love the egg drop within the stew that made it even more satisfying.

Loved their side dishes as well, as they have about 4 on rotation. This is my go-to Korean food when I'm here in one north!

This must be their innovation. It comes in fours. It's okay lor. The bun and the sauce tasted per expectations. I don't think it's some brilliant combination.

Creative menu that was well executed. Do not skip the oyster mushrooms item if it is available in the menu, which changes every month. The Hungarian duck leg was juicy and tender. Multiple dishes were served appropriately, giving diners time to savour the food and yet enjoy casual conversation with companions.

We had set lunch here, comprising Oyster & Mushrooms for entree and the Grilled Octopus for Main Course. Both were delightfully cooked and presented. The Oyster & Mushrooms was especially phenomenal. With three kinds of local mushrooms char-grilled to perfection and complemented by homemade garum fermented in house, the result was rich, juicy and beautifully complex.

Service was also impeccable.

From Chirashi King Kong
Tried the Chicken Cutlet side order from this sushi bowl restaurant and it was a pleasant surprise!
The juicy chicken breast was coated in a light, airy batter, fried to a golden crisp perfection.
The exterior was crunchy, while the interior remained tender and flavourful.
The portion was generous, making it a great value for the price. ($4)

From Joe & Doe
Tried the Gula Melaka Pandan Bar ($5.20) from Joe & Doe, and it was love at first bite!
The combination of rich gula melaka (palm coconut sugar) and fragrant pandan was absolute perfection.
Paired it with a cup of freshly brewed robust coffee ($6.30), which complemented the sweetness of the cake beautifully.
The coffee was bold, yet smooth, with a hint of bitterness that cut through the richness of the gula melaka.
