[Telok Ayer/ Chinatown] Halal hotel buffet with steamboat, seafood & a roast station
Chara Brasserie (HALAL KITCHEN)

Tag who's organising the next family makan 🍲

Chara Brasserie is inside Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre on Club Street, a short walk from both Telok Ayer and Chinatown MRT. The walk from Telok Ayer is sheltered all the way, so rain isn't an excuse. The kitchen is halal-certified, which makes it easy for mixed groups.

There is also the steamboat, with a sauce station to mix your own dips, which isn't your usual hotel buffet line-up. The roast station has lamb, beef and chicken, sliced to order.

There's also fresh seafood on ice, plenty of hot dishes, and a long dessert spread to finish. Dinner is around [$80++] per adult.

位於 Club Street 的 Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre 酒店內，鄰近 Telok Ayer 及牛車水（Chinatown）地鐵站。由 Telok Ayer 地鐵站出口步行全程有蓋，下雨天也不怕。廚房獲清真認證，親友聚餐更方便。

還有火鍋，旁設醬料區，可自行調配蘸醬，酒店自助餐中並不多見。另有烤肉站，羊肉、牛肉、雞肉即場切片。
此外還有新鮮海鮮冰盤、多款熱食，最後以豐富甜品作結。晚餐成人約 [$80++]。

⏰ Dinner daily 6pm–10pm

[Novena] $128 for unlimited DIY handrolls + 5 appetisers + dessert
Sushi Ichinoji

Tag who you'd bring for unlimited handrolls 🍣

Sushi Ichinoji is inside Goldhill Plaza, near Novena MRT. It's peaceful inside, with a Japanese chef in the kitchen. Honestly one of my go-to sushi places in Singapore.

The one to get: the Unlimited Temaki Sushi Omakase, $128. You get fresh sashimi, rice and nori, then roll your own. Sushi refills are unlimited (table seats only), and the fish changes by day.

5 appetisers come first. My favourites were the Japanese conch, so juicy and seasoned so well, and the tempura, thin crust and not oily at all. The chawanmushi is packed with ingredients too. Dessert comes at the end.

位於 Goldhill Plaza，鄰近 Novena 地鐵站。店內安靜，木質空間溫暖，廚房由日本師傅坐鎮。這裡是我在新加坡最常光顧的壽司店之一。

必試：手卷壽司無限續加套餐 $128。附新鮮刺身、白飯與海苔，自己動手卷。壽司可無限續加（僅限桌位），魚款每日或有不同。

手卷之前先上五道前菜。最喜歡日本海螺，多汁又入味；天婦羅外衣薄脆，完全不油膩。茶碗蒸料多豐富，最後還有甜品。

⏰ Daily 11:30am–2:30pm (last order 2pm) / 5:30pm–9:30pm (last order 9pm)

[Clarke Quay] The roe on this crab is unreal
馥苑 Fu Yuan Teochew Dining

Tag the friend who'd fight you for the last piece of crab 🦀

Fu Yuan Teochew Dining is a bold red-and-black modern space inside Clarke Quay — 2 floors, 4 private rooms, and a fish tank keeping everything alive till it hits the wok.

The dish to know: Chilled Drunken Yellow Roe Crab — roe on roe, served cold and full of flavour. Also don't skip the Marble Goby, pan-fried and finished in a shark cartilage soup, Teochew style — and the Braised Tofu with Sea Cucumber & Minced Pork, which tastes way richer than tofu has any right to.

The Kurobuta Char Siew deserves a mention too — that charred crust is no joke. For dessert, the Orh Nee and Peach Gum with Hokkaido Milk were both standouts.

位於 Clarke Quay 的馥苑 Fu Yuan Teochew Dining，走大膽紅黑設計風格——兩層樓高，設有4間私人廂房，並以魚缸保持海鮮新鮮，直至下鑊烹調的一刻。

必試：凍醉黃膏蟹——蟹膏豐腴，冷食依然鮮味十足。此外還有筍殼魚，以半煎手法配上鯊魚骨湯烹煮，充滿潮州風味；以及招牌海參粒豆腐，豆腐之中蘊藏濃郁鮮香。

黑豚叉燒亦相當出色，那個焦香外層讓人印象深刻。甜品方面，芋泥同桃膠燉北海道奶也是亮點。

⏰ Open daily 11:30am–3pm, 5:30pm–11pm

📍 Fu Yuan Teochew Dining 馥苑

[Orchard] This claypot rice comes with a 4-person warning label
Kaya at The Standard

Tag the friend who'd fight you for the last scoop 🦀

Kaya at The Standard is the izakaya-inspired jungle restaurant inside The Standard, Singapore's newest hotel on Orange Grove Road — glowing elevator entrance, warm wood interiors, hanging greenery.

The dish to know: Kani Meshi Nabe — snow crab, ikura, and uni crème folded through hot claypot rice, with crispy burnt grains at the edges. Built for 3–4 people, or fewer people with poor self-control (their words).

Also tried the Raw Fish and Fruit, Skewered Porktaku, and Burnt Hojicha & Ume for dessert. The bar does 20+ highball variations — good luck picking one.

位於 Orange Grove Road、The Standard, Singapore 酒店內的 Kaya at The Standard，走森林居酒屋風格，發光電梯作為入口，配上暖木裝潢與垂吊植物，未用餐已感受到濃厚氛圍。

必試：Kani Meshi Nabe—雪蟹、三文魚籽與海膽忌廉拌入熱騰騰的瓦煲飯，邊緣的脆口飯焦十分出色。此菜設計3至4人享用，若自制力不足，一兩人亦可能吃完（餐牌原文）。

另外亦嘗試了魚生沙律、豉油清酒豬腩肉串燒，以及燒焙茶芝士蛋糕。酒吧提供20多款Highball供選擇，值得慢慢挑選。

⏰️Open daily 6:30am–11pm

📮 [Duxton Hill] This bar ranked # 15 in Asia — and its drinks come as postcards
Sago House

Tag the friend you'd mail a cocktail to 💌

Sago House isn't just another cocktail bar — it ranked # 15 on Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2024. It moved from its original tiny spot on Sago Street to new digs on Duxton Hill, keeping its handwritten chalkboard menus along the way. What caught us off guard was The Day Ones Postcard Set ($100, limited to 50 sets) — six postcards, each one representing a cocktail from their original opening menu.

Here's the twist: each postcard redeems one drink. You can use it yourself on the spot, or mail it to a friend through their in-house Sago Mailbox — and when they visit, they redeem it for their own drink. Available daily 6–7:30pm.

We tried four from the set — a silky, citrus-forward pour with a frothy top; a bright one finished with fresh lime; a pandan-infused cocktail with that unmistakable fragrant, slightly nutty sweetness; and a twist on the classic old fashioned with a deeper, more spirit-forward pour.

📮 全亞洲第15大酒吧，飲品竟然可以寄俾朋友？

搬到 Duxton Hill 的 Sago House，曾於 2024 年躋身「亞洲 50 最佳酒吧」第 15 位，依然保留著手寫粉筆餐牌的懷舊感。這次試了他們推出的 The Day Ones 明信片套裝（$100，限量 50 套）。套裝內共有 6 張明信片，每張分別代表一杯他們開業時的招牌 Cocktail。

玩法相當特別：每張明信片都可以兌換一杯 Cocktail。可以選擇即場兌換，亦可以透過他們的郵箱寄給朋友，朋友到訪時便可以憑明信片兌換飲品。套裝每日晚上 6 時至 7 時 30 分供應。

這次試了套裝中的四款 Cocktail：其中一款口感絲滑，帶有果酸，表面更覆上一層奶泡；另一款清爽怡人，配以新鮮青檸；還有一款以班蘭為主調，散發濃郁而微甜的香氣；最後一款則是 Old Fashioned 的變奏版本，酒感更為深厚。四款各具特色，風格截然不同。

[Clarke Quay] CasaBites Spanish Kitchen — Spanish tapas with a riverside view
CasaBites

Tag the friend who's all about the view 📌

Perched on the 2nd floor of Clarke Quay Central, right above Subway, this Spanish tapas spot has one of the best riverside balcony seats in the area — string lights, and a full view of the river and skyline at night.

We tried the Seafood Paella ($19), Jamon Iberico Joselito Toasts ($12), Eggplant with Honey ($10), and the Fusion Frutal Churroholic ($14). Great for a chill catch-up or date night when you're after the atmosphere over anything else.

去了 Clarke Quay Central 2樓（Subway樓上）的 CasaBites，露台位置正對河景同天際線夜景，燈飾同掛牆植物營造氣氛一流。

試了海鮮西班牙飯（$19）、伊比利亞火腿多士（$12）、蜜糖茄子（$10）及雜果Churro（$14），好適合朋友聚會或約會影相打卡。
