Best New Restaurants In Singapore For Dates
1. Birds of A Feather
Calling all Sichuan cuisine fans! It’s time for you to flock to one of Amoy Street’s new restaurants!
Opened by the owners of Chengdu cafe chain Good Wood Café, Birds of A Feather serves up contemporary Western cuisine with strong Sichuan influences.
The Birds Signature Burger ($30) is a popular dish.
This is no surprise as the burger consists of delectable goodies – foie gras, cheddar, chilli soy tapenade, topped with a charcoal-grilled beef patty, tofu burger with mapo meat sauce.
The Oriental Bolagnaise ($20) is another dish that has garnered great reviews.
It is an angel hair pasta dish with pork ragout inspired by zha jiang mian (noodles in soybean paste).

The 18-seater restaurant at Pacific Plaza created a stir in Singapore on its first day! Crowds queued as early as 8.30am before its opening time at 11am.
So, what is so great about the first outpost of Tsuta Tokyo?
Firstly, all the noodles are handmade!
Diners get to choose from eight types of ramen cooked either in Shoyu or Shio broth.
The Shoyu soup stock is made with chicken, vegetables, and seafood, and is complemented with a fragrant black truffle sauce, giving it that delectable umami flavour.
On the other hand, the Shio broth is prepared with seafood and chicken stock mixed with sea salt and rock salt and served together with green olives.
Tsuta’s ramen is also priced at an affordable price of $15 per bowl so you and your date can start slurping those noodles without breaking your bank.
