Cha Thai
80 Telok Ayer Street Singapore 048466 (Telok Ayer MRT)
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm Daily, Last Order 9:30pm.
Express Takeaway Lane Opens 8am – 6pm
While this is a new-to-market restaurant, the Cha Thai team has already established a name with Loaves Me at SMU, being one of the first cafes in Singapore to offer Shibuya brick toast. Prices are higher than the usual casual Thai restaurants, but the quality is there.
Try the Tiger Prawn Panang Curry ($28). The gravy is luscious thick with coconut cream, only mildly spicy, and you would find an interesting addition – lychees. The Panang Curry generally has a sweet side to balance the spiciness. Chef uses lychees instead of just sugar for its natural sweetness and touch of juiciness. (Read: Cha Thai Telok Ayer)

The Open Farm Community, who looks set to be one of the defining new openings in Singapore this year, is a collaboration between the Spa Esprit Group, Chef Ryan Clift of Tippling Club and urban food garden specialists Edible Gardens.
This concept at Dempsey Hill, sprawling over 35,000 square feet of an urban farmland and 60-seater restaurant space is a bold, is a refreshing move in land-scarce Singapore. A restaurant in the middle is surrounded by a beautiful architectural garden, where children can explore the fruit orchards, while busy executives can also do takeaways at a café at the front. Don’t be surprised if some of the ingredients in your food is just plucked from the garden. (Read: Open Farm Community Minden Road)

CreatureS has an extensive menu which blends Western culinary dishes with Asian and local flavours. Plus it is set at the used-to-be-more-dodgy Desker Road which gives it a dash of hipness and mystery.
Some of its offerings: Zhu Burger ($22), Chap Chye Fusilli ($18), Prawn and Pork Buah Keluak On Prata ($15), 5-Spice Pork and Rice Broth ($23), Italian Yong Tau Fu ($10) and Orh Nee Cake ($9), this is one menu that will make jaded customers sit up and take notice. Many dishes are tilted towards home-style cooking, therefore could come across as ‘healthy’ or ‘could be more flavourful’ – depending on how you see it. (Read: CreatureS Desker Road)

Opening Hours: 11:30am – 2pm, 6pm – 10pm
With a combination of fresh seafood, classy ambience, personable professional service and a comfortable price point, Ginza Kuroson is one of my favourite Japanese restaurant openings this year. I hope it stays this way.
Ginza Kuroson at Ngee Ann City boosts of a long sushi bar and robatayaki counter, display of fresh fish and seafood, an element black and red themed décor, with Japanese chefs skilling working their crafts behind the counter. For lunch, Donburi sets are available, at a more affordable pricing than dinner. (Read: Ginza Kuroson Ngee Ann City)
