No wonder people have been saying I have put on weight. There are just too many new restaurants and cafes to try in Singapore.
Other than 20 New Cafes in Singapore this September 2015, you can also expect a flood of new restaurants. On a rough estimate, there are about 40-50 of them which have opened their doors the last two months or so.
Some are re-openings, such as No 20 on this list (which should keep many quite happy).

Quite an authentic Korean BBQ restaurant, though the shop seems lonely because its neighbouring units are still unoccupied. I liked the Budae Jungol ($35 for M, $45 for L) – Korean style army stew with ramen noodles. Service is polite and personable, as they could help cut the meats up (as seen from other tables).

The Clan Restaurant moved from Bt Pasoh to PoMo at Selegie Road. Its 5-couse Set Lunch is at a respectable cost of $49.80++, with a 6-course dinner at $69.80++. Very affordable dining with some quality dishes. There were some standout dishes. The Duck Confit W Plum Mustard, while looking predictably ordinary on the plate, was almost flawlessly crisp and fork-tender moist. With some Truffle Mashed Potato, this main got thumbs up from the whole table. (Read: The Clan Selegie Road)
