Singaporeans’ love for dim sum and ramen do no stop, fueling the opening of Canton Paradise at Marina Bay Sands, and a late-night The Dim Sum Place at North Bridge Road (pending Halal certification) which should give Swee Choon a run of its money.
Two quite ‘legit’ ramen shops have also opened – an Ebi Ramen By a Michelin Starred Chef From Mieda, and Menya Sakura helmed by Chef Sho Naganuma, ex-Executive Chef of Hide Yamamoto at MBS.

Cantonese Cuisine and Dim Sum At Marina Bay Sands
Canton Paradise has opened a new outlet at Marina Bay Sands, complete with a swanky interior, lots of natural light (when you dine during the day-time), and lively atmosphere.
Now you know where to go when you are looking for ALL-DAY dim sum, roast specialties, Hong Kong style congee and noodles, and Cantonese wok-fried dishes at MBS. I reckon that many are still unaware of this new branch.
Go for the Handmade Meatball Congee ($9.80). The consistency of this Cantonese style congee should stand out. As I scooped up a spoonful, I could tell by appearance that it had a velvety smooth and silky texture.
The Steamed Molten Salted Egg Yolk Custard Piggy Bun ($6.80/3 pieces) are also tasty, instagrammable pieces of cute dim sum. Canton Paradise (Marina Bay Sands)

Late Night Dim Sum at North Bridge Road With Extensive Menu
The team from halal certified The Ramen Stall at North Bridge Road has started out a new abode (literally opposite their current), serving up their rendition of Cantonese style cuisine with a localized twist to suit the wider community in Singapore.
The Dim Sum Place, has also plans to be halal-certified and is the midst of application.

Over at Kaisen Tei, you can choose from the signature donburi options, or DIY for a personalized bowl.
I went straight for the Signature Kaisendon ($16), considered value-for-its-money with 3 types of fishes – salmon, maguro (tuna), mekajiki (swordfish), mini hotate (scallop), and ikura (salmon roe) in a single bowl.
A KaisenSalad ($16) option is also available. Kaisen Tei (313@somerset)

Ebi Ramen By Michelin Starred Chef From Mieda Arrives To Singapore
Another ramen shop with a Michelin-star relation opens in Singapore. Jimoto Ya’s signature ramen is created by Chef Nobumasa Mieda of Michelin-Starred Kaiseki Restaurant MIEDA from Sapporo Hokkaido.
What makes their ramen different from the others is, the broth is made from a special blend of amaebi (sweet shrimp) and tonkotsu.
This explains the distinctive aroma reminiscent of hae mee (prawn noodle soup) upon walking into the eatery.
There are 5 basic types of ramen currently available – Ebi Shio ($16.50), Ebi Miso ($16.50), Ebi Shoyu ($16.50), Ebi Curry ($16.50) and a cold Hiyashi Cyuka ($18.50). Get the Ebi Shoyu ($16.50). Jimoto Ya (Pickering Street)

Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten Opens Restaurant In Singapore, With Signature Egg Caviar And Truffle Pizza
One of New York’s most celebrated chefs, Jean-Georges Vongerichten has opened The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar at COMO Dempsey.
The Egg Caviar ($38) was a tiny delicacy – does size equate price or value, I leave it to you to decide. It came with the top of the egg shell removed, piped in with whipped cream with hints of vodka and lemon juice, topped with a teaspoon of (osetra?) caviar.
My favourite dish of the dinner was the Black Truffle and Fontina Pizza ($26), perhaps also because this was different from the usual fine-dining dishes of small portions and occasionally unsatisfying taste. The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar (Dempsey)

Bigger sharing plates are available for big group gatherings such as 600g Oven Grilled Lobster ($68), 2.7kg Beef Short Ribs ($190) and 4kg Crispy Whole Suckling Pig ($280), which is probably sufficient to feed an entire small village. Don Ho (Keong Siak)

Bold Charcoal Flavours, Tasty Meats And Garang ‘Heart Attack’ Rice
Garang Grill is New Ubin Seafood’s dream of a good neighbourhood grill, done in collaboration with Slake and its chef Jeremy Cheok. Though technically, Jeremy is considered part of the New Ubin Team now.
The word “Garang” can mean “fierce” or “powerful”. As its name suggests, Garang Grill offers fierce, bold charcoal flavours that is truly Singaporean, made possible by the acquisition of a traditional Spanish Mibrasa charcoal oven.
The recommended items include Chilli Crab Rillet with deep fried mini mantou ($14), Oyster-Uni-Ikura with ponzu dressing ($58 per half dozen), Garang Chilli Wings ($12 for 6 pieces), Crispy Pork Jowl ($12, appetiser 125gms) and USDA Beef – Prime Rib / Short Ribs ($18/100gms and $12/100gms respectively).

(Re-Opening) Mod-Sin Restaurant Offers Pasta Dishes, From Laksa Ravioli To Thai Curry Fettuccine
After a short break, Wild Rocket by Chef Willin Low has returned, offering freshly-made pasta dishes.
You can experience the pasta from the ala carte menu ($29 – $30++), as part of the dinner four-course meal ($73++), or the Omakase meal ($128 for nine-course).
The 3 new signatures include Spanner Crab Ravioli & Daun Kesom Ravioli In Laksa Broth ($30), Thai Red Curry Duck Confit Fettuccine ($29), and Har Ji Spaghetti with Bottarga (cured fish roe), Prawns and Kaffir ($30). There would be some occasional specials, so you may like to check with the staff.
My favourite was the Thai Red Curry Duck Confit Fettuccine ($29). The dish managed to marry the richness, intensity and spiciness of this Thai dish well into the pasta, still full of flavours but not overly fiery. Wild Rocket (Mt Emily)
