Looking for something a tad more traditional?
Then Oldani’s risotto is a must-have!
Crafted with handmade sourdough breadcrumbs, peppercorn, Marsala and Umbrian truffle, the risotto has the rich creaminess of a perfectly cooked risotto.
With a dash of vinegar and the underlying touch of sweetness from the Marsala, Oldani’s risotto is an innovative culinary creation that is a must-have for any self-proclaimed food connoisseur.
[caption id="attachment_20514" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
Chef Oldani’s pushes traditional culinary boundaries[/caption]
The sleek and modern interior that diners at FOO’D enjoy alongside their meal is also due in part to Oldani dabbling in industrial design.
Seeking to make every diners’ experience comfortable, Oldani has utilized innovative flatware such as wine glasses with one rim set higher than the other, allowing diners to not only fully appreciate the full bouquet of the wine but maintain eye contact with their partners as well. An overall elegant and comfortable dining experience, FOO’D puts diners’ needs at the forefront.
New Year’s Eve isn’t complete without a mouthwatering decadent feast. Tagged at $158++ and $188++ for its 5 and 7 course New Year’s Eve Dinner Menu, end your 2016 right with FOOD’s by Davide Oldani decadent feast.

There are a few fenced up areas in Singapore called dog runs. These facilities are created just for our cute little ones. Remove those leashes and set them free, so they can enjoy the freedom of being in the great outdoors at least for awhile. We reckon they’d be so happy (and tired!) afterwards.

Sourdoughs are simple, un-fancy, but it is certainly ultimate comfort food.
The sourdoughs over at Luxe are freshly baked, toasted and served with butter & their house-made berry jam. So delightful.

Another must-try – the ricotta pancakes. There aren’t many places in Singapore serving them, and the one at Luxe is a real gem.
If you are really missing Australia, Luxe has got you this time round because those pancakes are the bomb.

6 Romantic & Secluded High-Tea Spots That Your Date Will Surely Approve Of!
Sarnies’ New Menu Packs A Solid Punch: From Curry Pasta To Overflowing Burgers!
Oft regarded as a tranquil sanctuary for coffee buffs and Aussie grub addicts, Sarnies has bowled us over with its latest dinner menu of hearty, honest-to-goodness cuisine.
In celebration of their 6 years of serving up comfort food and specialty coffee, Chef Zak has concocted a new dinner menu with dishes packing a solid punch.
Sarnies has always placed an emphasis on providing wholesome meals made from scratch using only fresh, quality ingredients.
Their new dinner menu (served from 6pm onwards) features grass-fed beef, chicken free from any hormones or antibiotics, bacon cured in-house, and bread kneaded by hand.
Appetizers:
1. Spicy Buffalo Wings ($12)
For starters, we tried the Buffalo Wings and boy, did it awaken our raging appetites!
Less sweet and more flavourful than typical Buffalo wings, these wings packed a mouthful with their aromatic combination of spices – no fewer than 20 different spices were used.
[caption id="attachment_18049" align="alignnone" width="4320"]
Dayumm, hot WILE (Wings I’d Love to Eat)[/caption]
The kick of chilli was spicy enough to whet our palates just right, and to our relief, not enough to make us sweat our pores off.
The lime juice contained in the marinade added a refreshing, zesty tang to the wings, to which we give two thumbs up.
After being marinated, the wings are slow-cooked for approximately 5 hours to render the meat tender, then fried till crisp.
2. Slider trio: Grilled Haloumi, Cherry Tomatoes & Onion Jam ($13)
Their slider trio comes with a choice of Grilled Haloumi with Onion Jam & Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, or Pulled Pork with White Slaw & Homemade Barbeque Sauce.
Safe to say, we enjoyed every bite, right down to the bread buns lovingly kneaded and baked in-house daily.
The salty umami flavour of the grilled haloumi gave a boost to the rest of the ingredients, while its faint hint of milkiness gently awakened our tastebuds.
[caption id="attachment_18051" align="alignnone" width="4320"]
Haloumi grilled to golden perfection[/caption]
At the same time, the roasted cherry tomatoes went to work in the texture department as they burst readily with a bite, releasing juicy tomato-ey goodness in an obscenely extravagant fashion.
Alongside all that hullabaloo, the onion jam served as a great accompaniment. Ever so tart and fruity, it gave the slider a final polish before it went sliding down our throats.
Mains:
1. Blackened Grass-fed Sirloin, Colombian-style Chimichurri & Olive Oil Mash ($24.50)
We took a bite and imagined ourselves dining on green pastures roaming with cows – that’s how good it was, we’re not kidding.
Cooked to medium and artfully charred on the outside, the beef was tender with a firm bite and a clean, meaty flavour.
[caption id="attachment_18053" align="alignnone" width="698"]
Look at that delectable pink centre[/caption]
This was complemented by the refreshing Colombian-style chimichurri which gave the dish a refreshing twist.
Beneath the sirloin steak, lay a bed of silky smooth mash decadently flavoured with truffle oil – talk about hidden treasures, now you’ll get to taste it too.
2. Southern Indian Style Hand-Cut Pappardelle with Prawns, Coconut Milk & Curry Leaves ($19.50)
This was, in short, the best part of our night!
The broad, flat pasta noodles were hand-made and hand-cut by the chef himself, cooked to al dente perfection with a lovely springy bite.
Tossed in a generous amount of creamy coconut sauce, its bold curry fragrance hit us from across the café.
[caption id="attachment_18054" align="alignnone" width="698"]
Golden af, my eyes hurt but my mouth waters[/caption]
Aromatic curry leaves were sprinkled atop the pasta to complete the picture of perfection.
We would love to say that it was delicious, but that wouldn’t do it sufficient justice.
3. Texas Style Burger with Overnight Smoked Brisket, White Slaw, Dijon, Gherkins, BBQ Sauce & Hand Cut Wedges ($26.50)
The best burgers are those overflowing with messy goodness and outrageously ridiculous proportions, as this one has taught us.
It gave new meaning to the phrase “a tall order”, as it was so chock full of smoked beef strips and creamy slaw that we couldn’t get it into our mouths all at once.
[caption id="attachment_18056" align="alignnone" width="4320"]
More stacked than you, bro[/caption]
The beef brisket was tender and finely-sliced, with a prominent smoky aroma it had acquired from being thoroughly infused with fragrant woodsmoke.
Paired with a soft burger bun freshly kneaded and baked that very day, there was absolutely nothing to gripe about.
For potato and truffle lovers, the burger comes with hand-cut wedges and a velvety truffle dip to pacify your cravings.
Dessert:
Churros with Salted Caramel & Chocolate Sauce ($10)
Crisp on the outside and doughy soft on the inside, this is exactly what we call good churros, no?
The dark chocolate sauce magically transformed the sweet choux pastry into a wand of bittersweet devilry.
Our personal favourite was the combination of the churros and the salted caramel sauce. The latter was ooey, gooey and very much like a more buttery version of melted toffee.
We went away utterly convinced that some friendships are meant to be. Crispy, fluffy churros and rich sticky caramel are gonna be BFFs for life.
Our ambassador, Valerie, visited Sarnies too! Here’s her experience:

By night’s end, we wound up with delicious grubby fingers, food-full bellies, and our belts two notches looser. If you’re keen on wholesome eating which tastes as good as sin, come grab some grub at Sarnies!

As interesting as these two words – Poke Bowl – might sound, it is essentially a raw fish salad.
At A Poke Theory, they serve fresh, marinated cuts of salmon and tuna with a base of either their Signature Sushi Rice, brown rice, lemon herb quinoa or romaine lettuce. It is then topped off with a mix of toppings such as avocadoes, roasted cashews and furikake.
Finally, a salad that isn’t boring.
A Poke Theory You can see from the generous amount of food in each bento – they are sure to fill you up until your next meal. Their Chicken Breast Sausage & Protein Waffle Toast that comes with oozing melted mozzarella cheese from their brunch menu is only 367 calories. What are you waiting for? Lean Bento With 5 outlets in the CBD area, they are the perfect choice for those who’d like to eat clean and good food. What got our attention though, is their offering of soba salads with interesting Japanese inspired dressings like yuzu, teriyaki and sesame. Here’s a meatless soba salad with sesame sauce and wakame. So light and refreshing, your body will thank you for it! WHEAT Baumkuchen A little cafe located in the Telok Ayer district, Sarnies serves up some pretty mean sandwiches. But what really caught our attention was the Cocowhip. It’s like a froyo, but not so much like one. Made with only coconut water, vegan stabilisers and organic bio-fermented coconut, this frozen dessert is vegan, gluten and dairy free. Try their Cocowhip Breakfast Bowl. It’s creamy and delicious Cocowhip topped with a fruit salad and a medley of nuts & gogi berries. We won’t say no to healthy and delicious “ice-cream”. Sarnies Each of these bowls have been concocted with goodness in mind so you can indulge in them without feeling guilty. Sprout offers a range of salads, incorporating flavours from different cuisines. The Korean Chicken Bowl consists of chicken breast meat that was marinated with kimchi and accompanied with shiitake mushrooms, carrots, Japanese cucumber, and a soft boiled egg. Sprout Looking for a quick fix with quality, wholesome food during your lunch hour? Grain Traders is the place. Ken Yuktasevi, one of the founders of Grain Traders, wanted a space for people to be able to spend that time in the best way possible by feeding themselves right, catching up with people, and simply taking a break from the daily grind.
