Thai Flavours at Gin Khao and High Tea at House at Dempsey

Located in a now more desolated part of East Coast Park, this venue used to be the hive of the area. Where the MacDonalds was the point of meeting for many teenagers decades ago, it is a shadow of its former self.

It is surprising then, that a Thai eatery occupies a large area with spacious seating and a modern but zen looking decor.

Chabuton has a new outlet that has just opened its doors at Millenia Walk. And as with every new Chabuton opening, there is always a new ramen dish to commemorate the new place.

The new outlet has pretty much the same decor as its previous outlets, and that means it is bright and spacious.

Silver Food News - The Pecking Order, Ethan's Gourmet and The Royal Mail

Located at the heart of the business district is this spanking bar that dishes out some quite decent bar fare.

The Pecking Order may not be the most spacious of spaces, but it is certainly a perfect spot to wind down to some drinks and food at the end of a long working day.

Silver Food News - Momiji Japanese Buffet, FYR, Miam Miam High Tea Buffet

Buffet is usually not my thing, but I must admit that Momiji Japanese Buffet at Revenue House in the Novena Area has caught my eye, and my tastebuds.

Maybe it is because it is a strictly Japanese themed buffet as that cuta out some of the superfluous buffet items like pasta and local selections, and that focus has streamlined the food to purely Japanese favourites.

Mr Berlin brings with it the German street food favourite of bratwurst sausages and hotdogs to the heart of Raffles Place.

There is a twist, however. Instead of mustard and ketchup, their hot dogs are laced with curry. Hence, the term currywurst.

Silver Food News - The Quarters, MEDZS's New Breakfast Menu and Montana Brew Bar

The young owner is full of enthusiasm in trying to fuse classic Nanyang cuisine and has even marketed their sauces as individual takeaways.

Silver Food News - Beauty In A Pot, Sakura International Buffet New Menu, Jade Restaurant's Yu Sheng

There is a growing trend in collagen hotpot recently, and the Paradise Group has joined in by introducing Beauty In A Pot, their first collagen hotpot concept restaurant in OneKM Mall.

There are only a few things I look out for in steamboat. Namely, the broth, the preparation of the ingredients and the service.

Silver Food News - Chabuton's Premium Ramen, Mirchi Revamped Menu and Chicky Fun
