Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

A small Thai eatery that's relatively cheap but surprisingly mediocre. The shock here was the pig skin was quite tough, which is unacceptable for Thai braised pig leg.

With fish fillet.

Chicken was tender & pairs super well w sambal. Love the texture of the sweet potato glass noods too!

For Valentine’s Day dinner, we kept it casual at Pete’s Place, and honestly, that’s the kind of dining experience we enjoy these days—good, honest cooking done right.

We started with the Calamari Fritti, and it was one of the best we’ve had in a while. Lightly battered and fried to tender perfection, the squid was paired with pickled zucchini, which added a refreshing contrast to the crispy goodness.

For mains, we had the Linguine Vongole, where the clams could have been plumper, but the white wine reduction was beautifully balanced—sweet, savoury, and full of umami. The Diavola Pizza was everything you’d expect—meaty, cheesy, with a chewy, satisfying crust that fills you up fast.

But the star of the night? Pete’s Tiramisu. Served tableside from a tray, the savoiardi biscuits soaked up the espresso and white amaretto, making each bite moist, decadent, and just the right amount of boozy, while the mascarpone added a creamy, luxurious finish.

Definitely a spot worth adding to the list for comforting, well-executed Italian fare.

food came right after ordering, had ice ocha which was refreshing, kani gratin was super delicious and ordered twice and gyu don, the beef was soft and a tad chewy and the rice was fragrant and soft and the sauce blended beautifully!

Had the gyu ponzu, garlic fried rice and the kani gratin, love the flavor of the gyu ponzu and the kani gratin, service was fast and efficient, food came out quick as well, overall will be back👍🏻

Dined on a friday evening, be sure to go early as the queue was long even at 8pm! Service was great:) Must orders for me were the side dishes surprisingly.

Favourites:
Prawn paste chicken (har cheong gai)
🍗 very crispy and juicy
🍗 fermented taste was more prominent than other places i have tried, quite a signature

Sharing platter (ngoh hiang)
🍥 ingredients were very fresh
🍥 my favourites were the fishcake and tofu that was juicy and soft on the inside

Prawn Noodles
🦐 the dry noodles were yummy! flavourful and aromatic sauce with pork lard added on top
🦐 broth is rich and umami but i wouldn't say traditional

the double bacon smash burger is definitely worth the buck - super juicy patty with a slightly spicy sauce. if you are visiting, definitely order this!

If there’s one dish that truly stole the show at VUE, it was the Grilled Maine Lobster and their signature Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto.

The lobster was grilled to tender perfection, its natural sweetness elevated by a rich fermented carrot butter sauce—an unexpected yet delightful pairing that added depth and umami. Buttery, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

Then there’s the risotto—creamy, earthy, and intensely aromatic. Each spoonful was a luxurious blend of wild mushrooms and perfectly cooked rice, comforting yet indulgent, making it the ultimate pairing with the lobster.

With the stunning rooftop view of the Singapore skyline, these dishes alone make a visit to VUE worth it.

Came by just for porridge but their menu looked so extensive and interesting, we couldn't help but add on another dish. The Pumpkin Congee with Prawn Balls ($13.80) was a surprise hit, with the mild sweetness of the congee contrasting nicely with the bouncy prawn balls. This was a nice twist to the usual plain congee. We added on a plate of the Steamed Mushroom and Chicken Rice ($7.80) which was superbly delicious, from the juicy mushrooms to the well-marinated tender chicken pieces. The umami sweet-savoury sauce was also delicious, but a tad too much with the rice at the bottom soaking everything up. Overall, a standout dimsum restaurant at decent prices, that could rival the usual popular joints. Would return to try their unique 'Modern Dim Sum'!
