CURATE: Asia’s 1st Showcase Restaurant For Michelin Star Cuisine In SG
Sentosa draws in throngs of visitors for its beaches, marine attractions, and of course, the popular Universal Studios theme park. But come April, you might have another reason to head to this popular island. CURATE promises to be Asia’s first Michelin Chef showcase restaurant where you can taste the finest culinary creations of visiting Michelin-starred chefs, right within the tropical paradise that is Resorts World Sentosa.
[caption id="attachment_4699" align="alignnone" width="700"]Not to be confused with your typical Michelin-starred restaurants (although those are worth visiting too of course!), CURATE is unique in that it allows customers to savour multiple Michelin-starred chefs’ creations through their Art at Curate series. Each series will see a different chef helming the kitchen at CURATE, with the restaurant being a stage for them to showcase their best works of culinary art.
And as with any fine-dining affair, you can expect the highest quality wines to go with your meal as well. In partnership with the influential wine authority, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Art at Curate will have the expert wine reviewers from their team hand-pick the best wines to complement each meal.

Being the world’s youngest chef to be awarded the coveted three Michelin stars when he was just 28 years old, Alajmo has a knack for bringing out the truest flavours of the ingredients that he uses to create multi-sensorial dishes in his distinctive style. Along with his love for exquisite seasonal ingredients and flair molecular gastronomy, you’ll be in for a gourmet treat at the inaugural series of Art at Curate.

And don’t be surprised to find yourself coming back for multiple return trips to taste the creations that other guest chefs have in store for you too.
Prices start from $220-280 for a four-course lunch, $290 for a champagne brunch, to $380-480 for an eight-course dinner. CURATE accepts advanced bookings only, book your tickets here.
CURATE is located at 8 Sentosa Gateway #01-231/232, Resorts World Sentosa.

An Underground Bar Event With Complimentary Drinks? Basement Seah Damn Happening <i>Sia</i>!
It’s been a looong week and Friday can’t come soon enough. We understand the wait for the weekend can be painful. In fact, the day before TGIF is usually the worst. But instead of staying down, we’re going to get you pumped for TGIF with some after-work Thursday chill and booze. Nobody said you had to wait till the weekend to have fun, right?
[caption id="attachment_5373" align="alignnone" width="1202"]Mr Punch Public House
Introducing Mr Punch Public House, a quirky yet cosy bar we recently stumbled across. Tucked away in the basement of the Museum of Toys is this unassuming gastropub, with its vintage décor and cosy ambience. It exuded the kind of odd familiarity that quickly put us at ease.
[caption id="attachment_5374" align="alignnone" width="1642"]Mr. Punch Public House is a concept inspired by the puppet show ‘Punch & Judy’ (the younglings will probably have no idea what this is) with the Public House being Mr. Punch’s last destination as a world-traveller. So this bar is akin to Mr. Punch’s treasure trove of memories; pretty interesting concept, we have to say.
Basement Seah
Every Thursday from 7pm to 11pm, the bar transforms into a cosy dinner spot that takes you back to the ‘60s. Known as Basement Seah, this retro themed night will have you immersed in both fun and nostalgia as the DJ puts a modern spin on some of the era’s most popular swing music. That’s right, a live DJ. Who knew you could enjoy great music, booze and feel cosy all at the same time?
[caption id="attachment_5418" align="alignnone" width="5184"]Drinks
Mr. Punch Public House offers an extensive drinks menu that includes the unique Cocktail World Tour, a curated series of international cocktails carefully thought out by its bartenders. From Malaysia’s Jungle Bird ($17) to the Russian Cocaine ($14), we’re pretty sure you’ll find a cocktail or two that suits you. If you’re more into wines, we bring good news. Simply RSVP at 8339 8966 with your email address and quote DISCOVER MR PUNCH to receive a complimentary glass of wine this Thursday, 14th April 2016!
[caption id="attachment_5376" align="alignnone" width="1369"]Food
Feeling peckish? There is a brand new sharing menu that offers an electic mix of cuisines. Start with the Platter ($35/three dishes) and choose from dishes such as freshly Grilled Tiger Prawns, deliciously marinated Marmite Glazed Squid Rings, and tender Slow-Cooked Pork Belly. Though not included, we thought the unique Potato Chip Chicken (potato chip breaded chicken) makes a great tapas.
[caption id="attachment_5377" align="alignnone" width="4000"]Looking for something a little more filling? Give its signature Herb-Crusted Barramundi ($29) or its Bacon-Wrapped Venison Loin ($45) a try. Though slightly pricier, we’re confident that the dinning experience at Mr Punch will be value for money.
Whether you’re looking for a unique yet cosy bar to take your after work conversations to or a place for an evening of pre-TGIF fun, Basement Seah@Mr Punch Public House is definitely the place to be. Remember, simply RSVP at 8339 8966 with your email address and quote DISCOVER MR PUNCH to receive your complimentary wine!
With its great ambience, refreshing music, lip-smacking food and free booze, if you’re not reaching out for your phone to RSVP now, we’d do it for you.

9 Quick Meals For The Busy Working Adult
When we’re caught up with the responsibilities at work, we tend to forget our hungry tummies. So consider taking some time off to prepare a quick meal that will surely leave you wanting for more. There’s no need to worry, you don’t have to be a master chef to whip these up. All you require is a simple kitchen and the willpower to try something new!
1. RedMart’s Thai Chicken Curry with Crunchy Vegetables and Fragrant Basmati
[caption id="attachment_5115" align="alignnone" width="700"]If you’re craving for something spicy, you’re in luck! You can easily create a hearty meal of Thai chicken curry mixed with French beans, baby corn and eggplants. All the ingredients you need can be conveniently ordered at local online grocery store RedMart as a set, so you’ll only need to put on your chef hat and start cooking!
[caption id="attachment_5116" align="alignnone" width="700"]Ingredients (provided by RedMart):
Red Curry Paste
Fish Sauce
Basmati Rice
Chicken Fillet
Coconut Cream
French Beans
Eggplant
Baby Corn
Coriander
Other Required Ingredients:
Salt
Cooking Oil
Directions:
- Bring the rice to a boil with double the amount of water (use a cup to measure) and a pinch of salt. Once boiling, stir a little, put a lid on, and turn the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes and set aside when done.
- Wash and dry all veggies and get chopping. Cut the ends off the beans and halve them, halve the baby corns lengthwise and – after disposing of the cap – cut eggplant to large chunks.
- Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Cut them into chunks that are slightly larger than bite-sized.
- Put a big frying pan or a medium wok on the fire and add some cooking oil. Once hot, throw in the chicken and curry paste, and fry for 2 minutes on high heat.
- Pour in the coconut cream and all prepared veggies. Refill the entire coconut cream container with water, swish around and tip into the pan. Let the curry come to a gentle bubble, turn down the heat and keep it on a simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring it regularly.
- If the sauce gets too thick, add a little more water.
- While the curry is bubbling, wash and chop up the fresh coriander leaves (discard the stems).
- Towards the end, add the fish sauce to the pot and give it a final stir.
- The curry is done when the beans and eggplants are cooked but still have their crunchiness.
- Serve with hot basmati rice and sprinkle fresh coriander on top.
RedMart also offers other ready-to-cook recipes and ingredients for you to choose, so feel free to head down to their website and try out the different meals you can make!

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTDkFpHZtrY[/embed]Maybe you were looking for something more western. Why not try your luck on a creamy bowl of macaroni and cheese? If you’re an avid fan of anything cheesy, this recipe is definitely a must try!

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups 2% milk

Please don’t over-think, we love you. We probably just fell asleep and didn’t read your messages. Not angry, not breaking up, just sleepy.
[caption id="attachment_4520" align="aligncenter" width="700"]10. The “double standards”
Well, let’s face it, equality is probably never going to happen anyway.
[caption id="attachment_4521" align="aligncenter" width="700"]With all that said, we still love y’all ladies.
Possessing these ‘habits’ do not spell the end of your relationship. Different guys and girls have different preferences and needs. As much as we like to complain, we probably still love our girl more than anything else.

I love cooking with eggs. They’re a great source of protein, they taste great by themselves, they complement other dishes and of course, they are affordable! Eggs may look easy to prepare but somehow I mess ’em up a lot. Scrambled eggs always turn into ‘sahara-dry eggs’. If you’re not so skilful with eggs like me, here are 10 quick and easy ways to make delicious eggs that are beyond breakfast. https://www.instagram.com/p/BDgj5pkB3lp/?tagged=hardboiledeggs Have you had dry or a greenish tinge around your hard boiled eggs? Guess what, you’ve been preparing hard boiled eggs the wrong way! (yes, there’s a correct way to prepare these eggs) With the right method, you’ll be on your way to making great eggs for pastas, salads, and devised eggs! To make perfect hard-boiled eggs: Now here’s a magnificent recipe that will impress. Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish of eggs poached in sauces of tomatoes, peppers and onions. It is healthy, comforting and flavourful. Best made on a lazy weekend. Ingredients: (serves 4-6) Directions: If you want to make your Shakshuka with an egg-stravagent twist, you can add a cup of brewed image source: If egg-splosive poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce makes you egg-cited, this classic Eggs Benny recipe is what you need. Ingredients: Directions: Hollandaise sauce Directions: Eggs Ben If ham is not your thing, you can substitute it with fried bacon or for a less guilty version, use smoked salmon instead. Frittata is an Italian egg based dish similar to a crustless quiche. Like omelettes, frittata can be filled with meat, cheese, vegetables but they are thicker in size and richer in flavour. Ingredients: Directions: The magic about frittata is that you can be creative with the fillings (good way to hide vegetables that you don’t want to eat but have to eat), and it is suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here are some frittata ideas that you can look into: Here is something easy to prepare and an egg-stremely delish! We absolutely love this recipe because you can make this and store in the freezer, and then reheat it for another day. Besides, this mini omelette also makes a great side dish for a home cook packed lunch. Ingredients: Directions: Like the frittata, you can play around with the ingredients and make it nutritious. On a different note, pop some wasabi into one of these and you’ll have a game of roulette for your friends. Now that you’ve mastered the skill of hard boiled eggs (point 1), try this Sriracha instead of hot sauce when preparing the egg filling. To be honest, I think I can nail all 10 ways to cook eggs and will definitely try making the Shakshuka this weekend. How about you?

One of my favorite places to go for dinner with my friends, New Station Snack Bar, is best known for its Salted Egg Yolk Pork Ribs. This hole-in-the-wall shop is usually crowded so be prepared to squeeze with others. It’s worth it though, the Salted Egg Yolk Pork Ribs Rice ($6.00) had me licking my plate. The sauce was amazing and the chili padi adds a pleasant spicy zest. New Station Snack Bar A foodcourt-esque experience, Tangs Market is unique because you can order your food, find a table, and wait for your number to flash on the display. No more waiting in line, ugh! Dig in to the famous 85 Redhill Teochew Fishball Noodles at ($4.00) a bowl, which comes with 5 huge signature fishballs. Also, sink your teeth into the popular Penang Char Kway Teow ($5.00) which is simply yums! Tangs Market The specialty Beer-Battered Fish & Chips ($7.90) offered here really gives other places a run for their money. For that insanely reasonable price, you’d get 2 juicy and aromatic fish fillets served with a side of crispy chips! If seafood is your thing, try the Seafood Combo ($9.90), which comes with 1 Fish Fillet, 2 pieces of Shrimp and 3 pieces of Calamari. Happy fishing! Fisherios Although there are many outlets, the original is located right here in the heart of Orchard! At ($7.40), the signature Ayam Penyet set comes with an enormous succulent deep-fried chicken, rice, some vegetables, and my personal favorite, the sambal chili sauce. The highlight of this meal is really the chili sauce, which is fiery spicy yet addictive. Did I mention it was free flow? Ayam Penyet Ria Astons never fails to deliver. With generous servings at an affordable price, this franchise store is one of my go-tos for casual Western fare. For $9.90, savor their range of grillworks chicken ranging from many mouthwatering flavors such Chargrill, Black Pepper, Hickory BBQ to Lemon Lime. It also comes with a choice of 2 sides! Aston Specialties This place is very popular among students for its low-cost student meals ($6.40), which comes with a choice of pasta or baked rice from the menu, ice lemon tea, and an ice cream.

South Korea may be a 7-hour flight away but their finger-licking cuisine knows no bounds. With so many Korean restaurants popping up in Singapore, where should you go for the best fried chicken or barbecue? To save you from some research trouble, we have compiled a list of 8 Restaurants With the Best Korean Food in Singapore. Tanjong Pagar Road is like a mini Korean town but there’s one particular gem that stands out among all Kimchis and that place is 2D1N Soju Bang. 2D1N Soju Bang may be small in size but their menu sure tickles. For the carnivorous, we highly recommend their samgyeopsal (BBQ pork belly), beef short ribs, and their super tender and sweet Bosam, (steam pork wrapped in lettuce). If you’re having some serious meat craving, head upstairs to the second floor for their BBQ buffet. Spot-on flavours aside, the prices here are also very reasonable. With about $24+ per pax, diners can enjoy free flow of meat, vegetables, and drinks. Extreme patience is needed as you might wait an hour or so for a table. 2D1N Soju Bang Facebook: 2D1N Soju Bang What do you get when you add Kpop and value for money Korean BBQ together? K.Cook Korean BBQ Buffet! Known as one of the most affordable Korean BBQ buffets in Singapore, K.Cook serves a huge spread of Korean style meat ranging from pork collar, pork belly, chicken, Beef Bulgogi, ribs and a salad bar to prevent you from falling into a meat coma. On top of their well-marinated BBQ meat, side dishes such as pancakes and rice cakes will make you go ‘mashisoyo’ (Korean for delicious). K.Cook Korean BBQ Buffet Facebook: K.Cook Korean BBQ Buffet Price: Weekends/ Eve of PH/ PH They say mums are the best cooks and Big Mama will take good care of your tummy like that Korean mum you never had. Located at Tiong Bahru, this eatery is operated by a former caretaker who had been cooking for Korean students in Singapore. She then decided to open a restaurant and her mum-inspired authentic Korean dishes became a hit among Korean expats and local foodies alike. Like many generous mums, the serving here is hearty and big! Their signature Dakgalbi (stir fry marinated chicken in chilli pepper paste) comes in a minimum of two portions. Do also try their pan fried pork belly and Kimchi pancake. Reservations are advisable. Suffering from a terrible hangover? Todamgol’s soup and stew will pump you up and get you ready for go time. Known for their wholesome and hearty dishes, Todamgol’s herbal chicken soup (samgyetan) is a must try for all patrons. Dig into the tender chicken stuffed with an abundance of chestnuts and dates as the herbal fragrance assails your nostrils. If that is not comfort food, we don’t know what is! If you’re looking for something richer in flavour, try their pork rib hangover soup, soybean paste stew or kimchi stew. They’re ‘seoul’ good and good for your ‘seoul’, you’ll come back for more! Todamgol It’s hard to not love KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and Chicken Up sure knows how to up their fried chicken game. Known as “The Best Korean Fried Chicken in Singapore” (Straits Times’ famous food writer, Tan Hsueh Yun, picked it in a blind tasting), Chicken Up serves a wide variety of fried chicken with fancy names such as Spicy Up, Curry Up and Suicide Chicken, coated in a batter that gives some serious ccccrunch. They also double fry their chicken, making it less greasy and crunchier. If chicken and beer is your thing, their Chimac buffet* (featuring this wicked pair) is available daily from $35++ -$45++ (Additional $20 surchage on Friday). *Chimac buffet is only available at Tanjong Pagar, Tampines, Parkway Parade and Buangkok Kko Kko may sound like a bird’s chirp, but at Kko Kko Na Ra, all you’ll hear is sizzle sizzle crunch crunch. Kko Kko Na Ra is one of the first restaurants to bring the KFC trend to the sunny shores of Singapore. For that, we bow down. What are we going to do without our beloved KFC? Offering 4 different flavours- original, soy garlic sauce, sweet & spicy, and hot & spicy, they aim to serve fried chicken with a twist of its own. We suggest going for the Chicken Combo set so you can try all four flavours. Reservations are advised for large groups or dinner time, as it requires quite a bit of patience to chuup a table during peak hours. If you think Korean rice meals must be served in a bowl, House of Gimbap begs to differ. At House of Gimbap, they serve a variety of rice rolls fillings ranging from beef bulgogi, spicy pork, tangy wasabi tuna, dry anchovy and nuts. If you’re up for a food adventure, go ahead and give their cream cheese and walnut gimbap a go. On a meat detox? They have meat-less options, packed with a good load of other sources of protein to give you a balanced diet. While you’re at it, don’t forget to try their Korean wellness tea to give your immune system a boost. Rice roll (10 slices) ranges from $9.50 – $11.50. House of Gimbap If you think Korean food can be a little too luxurious for lunch or you don’t have the time to wait for your samgyeopsal to grill, what you need is a little pint of Dosirak. Serving Korean takeout lunch boxes in China Square Central, Dosirak prides itself in its super yummy yet healthy (no MSG, no refined sugar, no corn syrup, and less than 500 calories kind of healthy) menu. They only use lean meat and sous-vide it in a water bath, keeping the meat moist and tender. You can customise your own lunch box or pick one of their pre-decided combination meals. Makes the perfect post-workout meal too!
