Surrey Hills Grocer’s Garden Bites & Orchard Sweets High Tea is a refreshing change from the usual hotel-style afternoon tea. Tucked away on Level 5 of ION Orchard, the set arrives in a whimsical garden-inspired presentation filled with wooden trays, little nests and rustic details, making the whole spread feel playful and very photogenic. The current edition also gives afternoon tea a local spin, weaving nostalgic Singapore flavours into both its sweet and savoury bites.

The savouries have plenty of variety, from the Pink Beet Blini with ricotta and beetroot to the Egg Mayo Tortilla Bite with sakura shrimp and truffle seasoning. The Pork Benny Bite and Smoky Char Siu Bao & Prosciutto Mini Croissant take familiar flavours in a more playful direction, while still being substantial enough to balance out the desserts.

The sweets are where the local inspiration becomes even more obvious. There’s a silky Milo Egg Pudding, a Gula Melaka Lamington & Kopi Tim Tam, and a beautifully presented Coconut & Mango Parfait served in a coconut shell. I also liked the idea behind the Pandan Caramel Slice and Calamansi & Pineapple Pavlova, which bring in familiar tropical flavours without making the selection feel too traditional.

At $68++ for two or $102++ for three, with 12 individual bites per person plus a choice of coffee or tea, it is surprisingly reasonable for an afternoon tea in Orchard. It feels less formal than the typical hotel high tea, but that is part of its charm: colourful, fun and easy to enjoy with a friend while still feeling special enough for an occasion. It is currently served weekdays from 2pm to 5pm at the ION Orchard outlet.

Beng Hiang’s return feels less like a restaurant reopening and more like the revival of a piece of Singapore’s dining heritage. After closing its long-running Jurong outlet, the nearly five-decade-old Hokkien institution has found an elegant new home within Shangri-La Singapore’s Garden Terrace, bringing its time-honoured recipes into a refreshed setting without losing the nostalgic flavours that generations have grown up with.

The meal begins on a refreshing note with the Aged Yongchun Vinegar Jellyfish Terrine, where the gentle acidity of premium Yongchun vinegar cuts through the naturally crunchy jellyfish beautifully. Light, appetising and well-balanced, it is an elegant starter that awakens the palate without overwhelming it.

Another traditional favourite, the 5-Spiced Sausages and Prawn Balls, delivers exactly the kind of comforting flavours Beng Hiang is known for. The Chinese sausages are fragrant with a subtle sweetness, while the golden prawn balls remain springy and juicy, offering a satisfying contrast in both flavour and texture.

The Fish Maw Thick Soup with Crab Meat is everything a classic Chinese banquet soup should be. Rich and velvety without feeling overly heavy, it is generously filled with tender fish maw and delicate strands of sweet crab meat, making every spoonful deeply comforting.

A deceptively simple dish, the Spinach with Dried Sole Fish proves that restraint often produces the best flavours. The spinach retains its freshness while the dried sole fish lends an unmistakable savoury aroma and depth, elevating the vegetables without overpowering their natural sweetness.

One of the standouts of the meal is undoubtedly the Slow-braised Hokkien Duck with Aged Ginger. The duck is exceptionally tender after hours of slow braising, absorbing the aromatic warmth of aged ginger that adds depth and complexity instead of sharpness. The result is a hearty, comforting dish that feels deeply rooted in traditional Hokkien home cooking.

Equally memorable is the Fujian-style Steamed Mud Crab with Glutinous Rice. The glutinous rice is inf

Burnt Ends Bakery at Audi House of Progress offers one of the more distinctive café settings in the CBD. Located within Audi’s flagship space at Cross Street, the bakery feels less like a conventional café and more like a contemporary lifestyle lounge. The sweeping timber details, polished finishes and Audi cars displayed around the dining area create a sleek yet surprisingly relaxed environment, while the open coffee bar adds some warmth to the otherwise industrial setting. It is spacious enough for a comfortable coffee break or casual catch-up, and the unusual showroom backdrop gives the outlet considerably more character than the typical city café.

For National Day, the bakery has reworked several familiar Singapore flavours into generously sized savoury bakes.
🥧Curry Chicken Pie ($16)
Comforting and hearty, combining tender chicken and potatoes with gently spiced curry inside a buttery, flaky shell.
🥯Char Siew Polo Bun ($12)
Good contrast of textures, with a crisp, crackled topping over a soft bun filled with sweet and savoury chicken char siew.
🍔Nasi Lemak Burger ($18)
Heartiest of the selection, layering crispy fried chicken with house-made sambal, cucumber and egg.
☕️Clarified Ondeh-Ondeh Coffee ($10)
Coconut, gula melaka and pandan are paired with Slayer Blend cold brew, resulting in a drink that recalls ondeh-ondeh while remaining noticeably coffee-forward rather than becoming an overly sweet dessert beverage. It is an inventive continuation of the bakery’s locally inspired National Day coffees and suits the polished setting particularly well.

The three savoury specials are available at Audi House of Progress from 3 - 9 Aug, while the Clarified Ondeh-Ondeh Coffee is served at both Audi House of Progress and Dempsey throughout August.

Kott-Don 360 has opened its new flagship outlet at VivoCity, bringing a more refined take on Korean barbecue through premium ingredients, careful preparation and attentive tableside service. Its striking cave-inspired entrance leads into a contemporary Hanok-style interior that feels elegant yet inviting, making it suitable for both casual gatherings and special occasions.

The highlight is its signature 360-hour wet-aged meats, prepared to enhance tenderness while retaining their natural flavour and juiciness. The Jeju Black Pork Neck offers a firm, satisfying bite and deep pork flavour, while the Duroc Black Pork Belly develops crisp, caramelised edges without feeling overly greasy. Exclusive to the VivoCity outlet is a premium Hanwoo beef selection, prized for its delicate marbling and buttery texture. Staff handle the grilling throughout the meal, ensuring each cut is cooked to its ideal doneness.

The supporting dishes are equally well executed. The Beef Tartare Bibimbap combines seasoned wagyu tartare, creamy egg yolk and fresh vegetables, while the Cold Kimchi Noodles provide a refreshing, tangy contrast to the richness of the grilled meats. Free-flow banchan, fluffy steamed egg and comforting soups complete the meal.

To celebrate its grand opening at VivoCity, Kott-Don 360 is offering its signature 360-Hour Aged Black Pork for just $1, usually $29.90. Limited to one redemption per table and available for a limited time.

Racines at Sofitel Singapore City Centre enters a compelling new chapter with Home: Flavours from the Heart, a menu that celebrates Straits heritage cuisine through the lens of memory, migration and home cooking. Building on the restaurant’s well-loved Asian signatures, the refreshed selection introduces more than 20 new dishes inspired by the chefs’ own roots and experiences across the region. The result is a thoughtful showcase of familiar flavours, elevated with polished ex*****on while retaining the warmth, generosity and soul of food made for sharing.

🥒Penang Fruit Rojak
A vibrant mix of crisp fruit, dough fritters, cuttlefish and peanuts, lifted by a sweet, savoury and gently spiced shrimp dressing.
🥚Tahu Telur
Crisp at the edges and soft within, complemented by fresh vegetables and a rich peanut sauce.
🐟Nyonya Assam Curry Snapper

Tank-to-table seafood has always been Orchid Live Seafood’s biggest draw, and this National Day is one of the best times to visit. Celebrating Singapore’s 61st birthday, the homegrown seafood specialist is rolling out a series of genuinely value-for-money promotions from now till 11 Aug, making premium live seafood far more accessible for family gatherings and festive feasts.

The headline promotion is undoubtedly the $61 live seafood specials, where diners can choose between a Mud Crab (900g to 1kg), Boston Lobster (approx 500g) or Soon Hock (800 to 900g). Even better, the crab and lobster can be prepared in a variety of house-favourite styles, from the classic Chilli and Pepper to indulgent Cream Cheese, Salted Egg with Pumpkin Sauce, or Garlic Butter Mushroom Steamed with Vermicelli. It’s the kind of promotion that makes premium seafood feel surprisingly attainable without compromising on quality.

Beyond the National Day deals, Orchid Live Seafood continues to impress with its signature dishes. The recently enhanced Signature Live Lobster Porridge remains a comforting standout, now simmered for even deeper shellfish richness while retaining its silky, home-style consistency. The ever-popular Steven Chicken, coated in its addictive house sauce and finished with toasted sesame, is another must-order that balances out a seafood-heavy meal perfectly.

Those looking to venture beyond the classics should also keep an eye out for the restaurant’s seasonal live seafood creations. Highlights include the fragrant Stir Fry Geoduck with Thai Basil, sweet New Zealand Surf Clams (Tua Tua), and Steamed Bamboo Clams with Butter Shiitake & Vermicelli, each showcasing Orchid Live Seafood’s strength in letting exceptionally fresh ingredients shine with restrained yet flavourful cooking.

Round off your meal with a complimentary nostalgic popsicle (while stocks last). From 1 Aug, the HomeTeamNS Khatib outlet also features a limited-time old-school popsicle cart, adding a nostalgic kampong touch to the National Day celebrations.

National Day at Town Restaurant takes on a more intimate tone this year. Set along the Singapore River at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, Our Home, Truly: A Singaporean Feast with Li Nan Xing brings together heritage dishes and treasured family recipes from the veteran actor and passionate home cook. Inspired by his Peranakan roots and his mother’s cooking, the menu celebrates flavours that feel familiar, comforting and distinctly Singaporean.

The Bak K*t Teh with Black Garlic is a standout. The black garlic adds depth and subtle sweetness to the peppery broth without overpowering its familiar character. The Crispy Seafood Cake offers a refined take on the local prawn fritter, and it’s best enjoyed with Li’s signature dipping sauce.

The Peranakan selections feel especially homely. The Nyonya Beef Rendang features tender beef in a rich coconut gravy fragrant with kaffir lime and lemongrass. The Kampung Curry Chicken, perfumed with curry leaves and coriander, has the comforting warmth of a home-cooked meal. For contrast, the Signature Assam Pedas delivers bright tamarind acidity and a gentle heat, while the Homestyle Nyonya Chap Chye, with vegetables, bean curd and glass noodles, provides a lighter counterpoint.

Beyond Li’s family recipes, there’s also thoughtful reinterpretations of local favourites such as Roti John with spiced beef and a garlic-chilli drizzle, Spicy Kueh Pie Tee filled with century egg and chilli sauce, The Meltique Beef Striploin inspired by ayam percik, and the Malay-Style Grilled Sea Bass. Classic staples such as Hainanese chicken rice, nasi lemak, laksa and fishball noodles round out the buffet, making it a well-balanced, family-friendly spread.

Desserts lean nostalgic, led by a lighter Bubur Cha Cha with coconut espuma, candied sweet potatoes and Gula Melaka marshmallows, alongside Kueh Lapis Pudding, Ondeh Ondeh Cake, durian pengat and pulut hitam.

Sip Sip has established itself as a versatile CBD dining spot, serving a relaxed brunch and café menu by day before transitioning into a lively wine and tapas destination in the evening. With the recent launch of its Saturday brunch, it’s now just as worthy of a weekend visit.

Helmed by Chef Darrel Woon, who brings nearly two decades of experience across Michelin-level French, Italian and Japanese kitchens, the menu blends European techniques with Japanese influences in a way that feels refined rather than forced.

Some highlights include:
🍝Nori Cold Pasta
A refreshing chilled pasta paired with Argentinian prawn tartare dressed in white balsamic, citrus and cucumber. The nori adds savoury depth, while crispy onions provide a satisfying crunch, making it a light yet flavourful dish.
🍞Cast Iron French Toast
Inspired by Fukuoka’s viral French toast, Sip Sip’s version is the first in Singapore. Thick-cut shokupan is soaked in vanilla custard for 24 hours before being baked in a cast iron skillet, creating a crisp golden exterior and an irresistibly soft, custardy centre. Finished with butter, maple syrup and a touch of sea salt, it’s indulgent without being overwhelming.
🥓Iberico Pork Jowl Flatbread
House-made focaccia is topped with tender Iberico pork jowl, slow-cooked sofrito, garlic labneh, pickled onions and a poached egg. Every bite is rich, savoury and well-balanced, with the creamy labneh and tangy pickles cutting through the richness.
🥩Steak Fritez
Lightly smoked Angus oyster blade is served with crisp shoestring fries and a classic au poivre sauce. Simple but well executed, it’s a satisfying dish that lets the quality of the beef shine.

Complementing the food is a warm, inviting space that transitions effortlessly from relaxed brunches and business lunches to intimate dinners and after-work drinks.
