Horatio’s Curious Companions is ending the year with a fragrant flourish, calling in one of Asia’s most distinctive bartending voices: Gagan Gurung of Hong Kong’s Tell Camellia, the award-winning tea-inspired bar consistently ranked among Asia’s 50 Best. For one night only on 12 December, 8pm–11pm, the whimsical whisky-led bar at Resorts World Sentosa will transform into a sanctuary of leaves, terroir and quietly mind-bending flavour, as Gagan brings his “farm-to-bar” philosophy to Singapore. Expect a thoughtful, deeply crafted lineup of three signature cocktails—including the caffeine-free, hojicha-powered Teapresso Martini; the smoky-bright Rock Paloma laced with white tea, melon and mezcal; and Tea’s Knees, a Ceylon-and-calamansi Gin beauty shaped by Gagan’s Hong Kong roots, plus a secret, password-only serve teased on Instagram 48 hours before the event. Each drink clocks in at $20, with Two Moons Calamansi Gin taking the spotlight as the night’s spirit companion.

Born in Nepal and based in Hong Kong, Gagan’s rise from top-tier bars to founding Tell Camellia has cemented him as a regional authority on tea-based mixology. This edition of Horatio’s Curious Companions taps directly into that world, offering a rare chance to experience his craft up close within Horatio’s theatrical, spirit-soaked setting. Reservations are now open via Horatio’s website. 

Rasapura Masters Reopens With Michelin Names And First-Time Food Court Entrants At Marina Bay Sands

Image credit: Rasapura Masters | Supplied

Marina Bay Sands’ iconic food hall Rasapura Masters has returned from its revamp looking fresher than a prawn mee stall at 7am. It's now decked in a Garden City–inspired makeover complete with ripple ceilings, kinetic lights and a massive LED screen channeling full Gardens by the Bay energy. Reopened on 19 November, the food court now boasts the most diverse mix of local and international eats in the entire resort, including five Michelin-recognised brands and several hawker heavyweights making their first-ever food-court jump. Expect Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Mee and JC Seafood by Jiao Cai Seafood, both beloved, both joining the Bib Gourmand-decorated lineup alongside Nana Curry, Indian Express and Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang.

Beyond the Michelin sparkle, Rasapura Masters has variety, as usual. Think Teochew-style King Grouper Fish Soup, Ampang Yong Tau Foo, smoky zi char classics, Klang-style bak kut teh, Thai favourites, Shanghainese pan-fried buns, and K-street staples from Myeongdong Bunsik. There’s even Pepper Lunch Express for that sizzling DIY moment. A handful of stalls now run 24/7, meaning supper fiends and jet-lagged tourists can dig into ban mian, mala hotpot, fishball noodles or beef noodles anytime cravings hit. Add in expanded seating, buzzy crowds, and exclusive desserts from Nine Fresh and R&B Tea and you’ve got the ultimate “something for everyone” dining pit stop at Marina Bay Sands. 

Solisca Tequila Launches in Singapore

A new contender has entered Singapore’s tequila game. Solisca Tequila, the small-batch, additive-free agave darling that’s been lighting up LA, Tokyo, Seoul and Bali, has officially landed on our shores. Billed as the “Golden Hour Tequila,” Solisca is all about capturing that warm, hazy moment where everything feels a little softer, brighter, and just plain better, except here, it’s bottled and ready for your next highball, cocktail, or very smug neat pour.

Crafted at Casa Maestri (NOM 1438), one of Jalisco’s most respected women-led distilleries, Solisca blends 100% Blue Weber Agave from both the highlands (think fruit and florals) and lowlands (spice, minerality, swagger). The result? A clean, expressive tequila that’s built for sipping, not regrettable shots. Two expressions debut in Singapore: the crisp, citrus-bright Blanco, and the Reposado Cristalino: a crystal-clear, oak-rested, dessert-leaning stunner with notes of macadamia, white chocolate, caramel and roasted agave. It’s already a cult favourite across Asia, and the fastest-rising tequila style globally.

Solisca has also picked up serious cultural clout, appearing in BLACKPINK Lisa’s FUTW video, clutched by Martin Garrix and other EDM titans, and poured everywhere from TAO LA to Ultra Korea. Singapore gets pride of place too: you’ll find Solisca now at Manhattan, NATIVE, Papi’s Tacos, Neon Pigeon, Jungle Ballroom and Canyon Club, plus retail via Wine Mouth if you want to bring home a bottle of sunshine.

Torno Subito Rolls Out A Riviera-Meets-Emilia Romagna Menu Refresh In Dempsey

Image credit: Torno Subito | Supplied

Torno Subito is stepping into a new era, and she’s serving full Riviera glow with Emilia-Romagna soul. The Massimo Bottura-born concept at Dempsey has unveiled a refreshed menu that feels brighter, cheekier, and utterly ready to flirt with your appetite. Executive Chef Alessio Pirozzi takes the carefree spirit of Italian coastal dining and blends it with Modenese comfort, resulting in plates that are joyful without trying too hard. Expect antipasti that slap in the best way possible, such as Parmigiano Reggiano with dark cherry balsamic, silky mortadella layered on focaccia, and the citrus-forward Bella Liguria that brings sea breeze energy straight to the table. The kitchen also plays with street-food nostalgia via the Duck Piadina, a Beijing-meets-Rimini mashup you didn’t know you needed.

Pizza absolutely remains the main character here, with their wood-fired beauties still rocking that perfect thin-airy crust: go straight for the spicy Diavola or the loaded Arrostita with fennel sausage and roasted potatoes. Pasta fans get equal love with the saffron-butter Gnocco and the comforting, Nonna-approved Raviolo Nonna Ancella. Bigger plates bring depth with the smoky Coppa with persimmon compote and the bergamot-lifted Rombo Napolitano. Both hit that sweet spot between rustic and polished. Signature favourites like the Emilia Burger, Tortellino and Tagliatella al Ragù are still here to anchor the menu, and yes, the iconic Tiramisubito continues to reign as the dessert you absolutely do not share.

Love a hearty Italian cuisine? Put these Italian restaurants on your list.

Image credit: MO BAR | Supplied

MO BAR is getting the holiday mood started before anyone’s hung a single bauble, rolling out two limited-time festive cocktails from 24 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, basically Christmas in a glass. First up is Ember & Snow (SGD 26++), a cosy, winter-evening sipper built on Martell VSOP, Frangelico, Bols amaretto, Amaro Montenegro and espresso. It’s rich, warming, and makes you want to sink into a velvet armchair and dramatically declare the year “done.” If you’re more about sparkle than smoulder, Blush of Dawn (SGD 26++) leans bright and celebratory, shaking up Diplomatico Blanco, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, a hint of cacao, and topping it with champagne, a very glamorous nod to the season’s first light.

To level up the festivities, MO BAR is also launching an Oysters & Champagne special from 24 November, Sundays to Thursdays, 6pm to 8pm, featuring free-flow champagne and half a dozen oysters at SGD 108++ per person.

Image credit: temper. | Supplied

temper. is officially entering its fun-parent era with the launch of its first-ever Family Brunch, a Sunday party built for grown-ups who still want a vibe and kids who refuse to be left out. Happening on 30 November 2025 from 12pm to 3pm, the afternoon comes loaded with everything that makes temper. tick: great food, good drinks, and a soundtrack that makes you wonder why more brunches don’t come with a built-in funk-soul-disco DJ set. DJ YA5TH will be on deck spinning upbeat grooves that keep the energy high even when the kids are trying to show off their ‘dance moves’.

The food, of course, comes in hot. Adults get a choice of Roast Beef or Half Roast Chicken, each plated with two sides for $40. Hearty, comforting, zero fuss. Want to flex a little?

Kids aged 4 to 12 get their own lineup of crowd-pleasers at $25 with free-flow juice: Tomato Chipolata Linguine, Drumstick & Chips, Fish & Chips, and Slider & Fries. It’s the kind of family-friendly brunch just about good food, good music, and the comforting illusion that everyone will nap after.

ATLAS Unveils London Dry Gin, A Spirit Designed To Define The Bar’s Next Era

Image credit: ATLAS | Supplied

ATLAS has officially entered its “if you want something done right, distil it yourself” era with the launch of its first-ever house spirit: ATLAS London Dry Gin, a meticulously crafted expression built to bottle the soul of Singapore’s most iconic gin bar. Seven years, 1,300 gins, and one towering Gin Tower later, the team finally asked: what does ATLAS taste like? The answer is a confident, elegant London Dry that leads with crisp juniper before opening into citrus, angelica and soft floral notes, bottled at a bold 47% ABV so it performs beautifully in cocktails. Purposeful is the whole point here; this gin is engineered for mixing, anchoring the revamped menu and shining brightest in the signature ATLAS Martini.

Developed over a year with master distillers and guided by Owner Vicky Hwang’s vision, the gin carries the bar’s philosophy of beauty, balance and understatement. Classic botanicals such as juniper berries, coriander seed, orris and angelica roots, lavender, roasted almonds, vetiver, fresh orange peel give it structure and depth without losing finesse. Expect a dry citrus nose, a supple mid-palate and a long, lifted finish that quietly flexes without shouting. Guests will find the gin poured across house cocktails crafted to showcase its clarity and versatility, while bottles are available exclusively at ATLAS and via the ATLAS online shop. A 500ml bottle goes for $98+, while the ATLAS London Dry Gin Curated Set ($138+) bundles the gin with tonic, garnishes, bottled cocktails and recipe cards. 

KFC Kallang Is Back And Better Than Ever

Image credit: KFC | Supplied

KFC Kallang is back and she’s had the ultimate glow-up. After months of "wait… is it actually gone?" panic when the Google listing briefly said permanently closed, the iconic standalone store has officially reopened as KFC Singapore’s next-gen flagship. Think bold neon lights, street-meets-sci-fi vibes, and way more room to feast (we’re talking 216 seats, selfie corners, digital panels, and 24-hour weekends so you can get your fried chicken fix at literally any hour). Oh, and for the first time ever, KFC has carved out a full-blown merch space in-store, turning the beloved Kallang outlet into a full lifestyle flex instead of just a pit stop for wings.

And because KFC loves a moment, the reopening drops just in time for its collab with homegrown label AMOS ANANDA (a spicy little pickleball capsule collection landing 28 November exclusively at this flagship). Expect tees, collared shirts, socks, headbands, and the star of the show: a fiery red pickleball paddle set complete with matching balls.

Image credit: Tiong Bahru Bakery | Supplied

Tiong Bahru Bakery is going full festive fantasy this year, teaming up with the always-deliberately-different Forged for a Christmas collab that’s equal parts naughty, nice, and absolutely irresistible. Available now for the limited time, the menu is stacked with five pastries built around Forged’s cult-favourite cultured Japanese quail products. Expect heavy-hitting treats like the Foie & Christmas Stuffing Pie, a luxe brown-butter caramel shio pan with a gooey surprise centre, a savoury Gruyère twist spiked with foie, and a mulled-wine pear Danish that tastes like December in pastry form. And because TBB never does things by halves, there’s also a lemon curd éclair topped with torched meringue that’s basically festive joy in a choux shell.

If you want the full showstopper moment (or just refuse to choose), the Forged Taster Box packs all five creations into one very giftable, binge-worthy bundle. Spend $35 at any outlet and you can spin TBB’s sure-win prize wheel for cute merch and discount vouchers. Plus, TBB is running a charity drive through 31 December, with $2 sticker purchases supporting Food From The Heart and ACRES. They’ll match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $4,000, so you can feel extra angelic even while being deliciously indulgent.

World’s Number One Bar Leone Lands At Bar Somma

Fresh off a streak of buzzy collaborations, Bar Somma is upping the ante with a one-night takeover by none other than Bar Leone. Yes, the same Bar Leone that just clinched #1 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 and #1 on The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025. On 30 November 2025, the world’s best bar will slide behind Somma’s counter for an evening built on creativity, camaraderie, and Italian swagger, thanks to a partnership with Campari.

Founded by cocktail visionary Lorenzo Antinori, Bar Leone is famous for its cocktail popolari ethos, taking familiar classics and giving them soul, humour, and Roman attitude. For this takeover, you’re getting four exclusive concoctions that read like postcards from the Eternal City. There’s the King Kong Old Fashioned (bourbon, toasted coconut, banana, sherry, almond), the lush Olive Oil Sour, the smoky-bright Margarita de Maíz, and the herbaceous IL Cacciatore, each priced at $24 and built for maximum personality. Of course, Somma’s own signatures will be in the mix, curated to play beautifully with the night’s lineup.

It’s a one-night-only collision of two powerhouse bars, and another standout chapter in Somma’s Guest List series and a testament to how Singapore continues to punch above its weight in global cocktail culture.

Blu Kouzina Introduces A Mediterranean-Inspired Weekday Lunch Worth Slowing Down For

Image credit: Blu Kouzina | Supplied

Blu Kouzina is leaning all the way into its Greek roots with a brand-new weekday Blue Zone Lunch Set. Inspired by the long, languid lunches of the Mediterranean (where meals are slow, veggie-packed, and fuelled by really good olive oil) this Dempsey-only set lets you build your own three-course spread for $58++. Think two mezze, a main and dessert, all crafted with ingredients sourced from trusted farms and anchored by the Tsakiris family’s extra virgin olive oil straight from their 600-year-old groves in Greece. It’s wholesome, hearty and the perfect excuse to take a breather between emails.

The menu nods to Ikaria, one of the world’s famed Blue Zones, so expect honest flavours, minimal fuss, and produce cooked with intention. Highlights include slow-baked Arosis chickpea stew with sweet onions and bay leaves, green beans simmered in ripe tomatoes (hello cosy Greek home cooking), wild-caught Santorini fish baked with herbs and lemon, and beautifully roasted Gemista stuffed with herbed rice. Dessert keeps it light with Greek yoghurt, fresh fruits and walnuts or crisp green apple drizzled with honey and cinnamon.

Gelato Messina is going full festive mode this December, rolling out ten limited-edition flavours that turn Christmas classics into full-blown dessert-level indulgence. Dropping in two waves—from 16 December and again from 23 December—you can expect everything from gingerbread-loaded fior di latte and boozy brandy custard to mulled-wine sorbets and nostalgic Italian brioche scoops. And because Singapore deserves a little extra sparkle, Messina is also serving up a handful of city-exclusive creations, including a candy-cane-spiked fondant gelato, a mulled wine and pear sorbet, a very cheeky cranberry-cheesecake combo, and even a cava-and-lemon sorbet if you're feeling celebratory.

True to Messina tradition, every scoop comes stacked with house-made inclusions and big, joyful flavours (basically Christmas cheer in frozen form). You’ll find the full festive lineup at their Club Street store from mid-December, with scoops starting at $8 (or $14 if you’re in a treat-yourself triple-scoop mood).

Image credit: The Plump Frenchman | Supplied

The Plump Frenchman is giving us a seriously tasty reason to dine out on repeat, unveiling a refreshed menu packed with French classics, clever local twists, and all-new themed days that make every part of the week feel like a mini celebration. Under the playful, flavour-obsessed eye of Chef Lorenz Hoja, the brasserie is leaning into big comfort energy with dishes like boeuf bourguignon, Provençal lamb, and a juicy seabass dressed in sauce vierge. The real star, though, is its new Sunday brunch, Dimanche Des Paresseux, a joyful throwback to those lazy, communal lunches we all wish happened more often. Think sharing plates, bubbling pots of French onion soup, and the wildly fun Rice à la Française, their tongue-in-cheek tribute to Hainanese chicken rice, complete with uni mayo and prawns.

But the party doesn’t stop on Sundays. Mondays get a glow-up with a steak-and-fries situation that might just cure your work-week dread, Tuesdays are now all about oysters and bubbles, and the festive season brings not one but two indulgent holiday menus stacked with chestnut velouté, roasted guinea fowl, and Bûche de Noël. Whether you’re planning a cosy date night, a long boozy brunch, or a December dinner that leans full-tilt into the holiday spirit, The Plump Frenchman is officially your new go-to for comfort, charm, and French-inspired feasting all week long.

Mondays in the East just got tastier.

Every Monday, Eastsiders can dig into a quarter portion of Carlitos’ signature Spanish suckling pig for just $58, paired perfectly with a bottle of Canforrales wine at the same price: no pre-order, no planning, just walk in and feast.

Usually reserved for special occasions, the famed roast now takes centre stage every week, bringing a slice of Spanish indulgence to the laidback streets of Joo Chiat. Expect that melt-in-your-mouth meat, golden crackling, and a generous pour of vino to chase away the Monday blues. Whether you’re toasting to the start of the week or just looking for a reason to skip cooking, Carlitos’ Monday Roast & Toast is the neighbourhood’s newest weekday ritual.

Burma Social Launches Vegan Party

There’s a new reason to go meat-free and it’s anything but boring. Burma Social, Singapore’s first multicultural restaurant and bar, is throwing a vegetarian and vegan party every last Thursday of the month, and it’s fast becoming the spot to mingle, munch, and maybe even meet your match. True to its “Feast of Six Kingdoms” philosophy, the menu reimagines traditional Burmese recipes with Pan-Asian flair. Think Burmese Tohu, Tibetan Momo, Piquillo Wild Roll, Bangkok Papaya Salad, and the spicy-savoury Mala Veg Wok. It’s a full-on plant-powered feast, best enjoyed with bottomless wine and cocktails as conversations flow and connections spark.

Beyond the party, Burma Social’s daily menu also goes big on vegetarian and vegan dishes, with options to swap out alliums and adapt to dietary needs. Whether you’re a lifelong herbivore or just veg-curious, expect a bold, borderless flavour journey that’s as social as it is satisfying. Mark your calendar for 27 November (and every last Thursday after that), bring your appetite, and join the movement where “meet-up” finally means “meat-free.”

The city’s most exclusive wine club is spicing things up this season. For its latest Resident Chef Series, 67 Pall Mall Singapore welcomes Chef Mano Thevar of the Michelin-starred Thevar to its penthouse dining room from October to December 2025.

It’s a culinary homecoming told through bold flavour and fine wine, where the precision of French technique meets the heart of Indian heritage.

Expect an intimate tasting journey that plays on memory and place. The menu opens with the Chettinad Crab Roti ($21++), golden naan folded around sweet crab and crispy onion, paired with a semi-dry 2021 Château Belá Riesling that tempers heat with citrusy lift. The Prawn Sothi ($38++) follows. It's a silky coconut curry brightened by pomelo and pomegranate, the richness cut beautifully by a crisp Japanese Pinot Blanc. For mains, the Pomfret Pollichattu ($42) arrives parcelled in banana leaf, spiced with black mustard and chilli, best enjoyed with a supple South African Cinsault. Then there’s the show-stopping Lamb Rack ($88), grilled till tender and matched with a powerful 2017 Celler Mas Doix from Spain’s Priorat, its deep structure echoing the meat’s intensity.

End on a sweet, tropical note with the Spiced Banana Coconut Pie ($22), layered with caramelised banana and Chantilly cream, paired with a rare Yunnan icewine whose bright acidity and tropical notes seal the evening in elegant balance. Beyond the food, this residency shines a spotlight on 67 Pall Mall’s unrivalled sommelier team and its knack for discovering wines from offbeat regions such as Slovakia, Japan and China.

PS.Cafe just dropped a refreshed all-day dining menu and it’s giving major comfort food glow-up. With 15 new dishes hitting the table, the iconic lifestyle dining spot is staying true to its timeless, easy-luxe vibe while turning up the flavour game. Think crispy Buffalo Chicken Bites with spicy buffalo sauce and creamy ranch, a sesame twist on the classic Caesar, and the new Mee Siam Cacio Spaghettini (a genius mash-up of local tang and Italian indulgence).

You’ll find the new menu first at Harding Road, Great World, Katong and East Coast Park, before it rolls out across all outlets by November 2025. And don’t worry, the PS. Truffle Fries, King Prawn Aglio Olio, and Beer-Battered Fish & Chips aren’t going anywhere.

Yup, they’ve literally distilled their signature Brut Beer (yes, the one inspired by Champagne Barons de Rothschild) into a juniper-forward spirit layered with citrusy blood orange, calamansi and pomelo, plus a cheeky kick of ginger and mace.

The LeVeL33 Prohibition Gin officially drops on 1 November, exclusively at LeVeL33, where you can sip it straight or in one of four limited-edition cocktails. Try the Sunset Martini with peach and vanilla or the tropical Skyline’s Cobbler with passionfruit and grenadine (both priced at $26++).

The new menu keeps things vibrant yet comforting and celebrates fresh, local produce, with veggies plucked straight from the garden and ingredients sourced as close to home as possible. Think buttermilk pancakes with banana brulee and BBQ banana ice cream, farm-fresh salads, and beer-battered fish and chips done right. For something hearty, there’s a smoked Sakura chicken for sharing or the indulgent beef tongue yakitori glazed with mirin and black garlic.

But what really seals the deal? OFC’s pet-friendly alfresco terrace, surrounded by herbs and blooms, where furry friends are more than welcome. Pet parents even score 15% off the bill when dining outdoors with their four-legged companions (a win-win for brunch lovers and their pups alike).

Big changes are afoot at Pan Pacific Singapore’s iconic Cantonese restaurant, Hai Tien Lo, with the arrival of Executive Chinese Chef Edden Yap. Hailing from Jinjang in Kuala Lumpur, Chef Edden’s story is a true culinary odyssey—starting from humble hawker stalls at 15, to kitchens of some of the world’s most celebrated Chinese restaurants across Dubai, Macau, Nanjing and W Macau.
