The Spaghetti Snob - What to Look For in a Good Pasta
Sequelitis has set in as I have been meaning to do a follow up to my Risotto Snob piece a few months back. It is time I put down my thoughts on what is a decent plate of pasta because frankly, it is rather dismal out there when it comes to good pasta dishes.
Beyond endless cafes churning out less than respectable pasta, even the fine dining ones come up short fairly regularly too.

Hokkaido Sushi at M Hotel - More Than Just a Japanese Buffet
Hokkaido Sushi has been around for quite awhile, nestled on the 9th storey of M Hotel. It has also seen a number of personnel changes but their recent focus on buffet might seem a step away from their more talked about Omakase offerings.
Indeed, with the hotel's own cafe offering buffet options, it might seem odd that Hokkaido Sushi would want to cater to the same crowd.

The Untenable Lightness of Being a Singapore Food Influencer
Federal Bureau of Investigation is most famously associated with the FBI acronym. But for most millennials, FBI usually means the trophied trinity of social media platforms.
Facebook, Blogs and Instagram. Everyday we gravitate towards our mobile devices, indulging in FBI activities when it comes to a spare moment during train and bus rides.

1933 By Toast Box - Something Closer to Home
Nestled in the heart of the spanking new Capitol Piazza, one can take a walk down heritage lane with 1933 by Toast Box.
The menu has been recently revamped and refreshed, and patrons can look forward to nostalgic Nanyang-inspired dishes that reflect the identity of 1930s Singapore. Local food never tasted more like home.

Alba 1836 Wine Bar and Restaurant - An Italian Masterpiece
Restaurants these days hardly excite me, but Alba 1836 certainly breaks this depressing trend for me. Perched deep within the confines of Duxton Hill, it is almost hidden in plain sight.
Beautifully designed with both a touch of elegance and modernistic virtues, Alba 1836 will charm you from the moment you reach its entrance until you step all the way inside.

Captain K Seafood Tower - Latest Korean Food Fad
Written by Pinky Chng
I thought all things Korean had already hit Singapore's shores – Korean barbecue, Korean fried chicken, bingsu, you name it. But enter Captain K, a new Korean seafood tower concept that's been all the hype of late.
Food is served in 9 layers of steamers stacked on top of each other, with the soup base at the bottommost tier to catch all the briny juices of the seafood, enriching the soup.

Beach Cabana at Pasir Ris Park - Fishing and Feasting
Somedays, you wish you are back in a more kampung like environment where you can sit back and have fun blending in with mother nature.
Pasir Ris Park may seem like a very far destination to travel to, but one of the best things about coming here is to immerse oneself in the tranquil activities of fishing, crabbing and prawning in the scenic pond right in the middle of the park.

The Disgruntled Chef - More Brilliance Than Disgruntledness
Disgruntling aside, Chef Daniel Sia's latest iteration of his mischievously titled restaurant lives up to its reputation with its combination of well executed classics and updated modernistic revivals.
The joint itself looks classy and relevant, and nestled within a section of the revamped The Club establishment.

Brunch at Salt Tapas and Bar - Glorious, Glorious Eggs
Whenever I want to assess the cooking ability of a chef, the best way is to simply ask him or her to cook up an egg dish.
It may sound very simple, but those that cook will know that mastery of the eggs is no simple feat. It takes a culmination of knowledge, practice and skill to come up with the best egg dishes.
