The molten mousse tart filling is made with three types of cream cheese - two from Hokkaido and one from France, and the crispy pastry is baked twice.

The folks from Lab SG have a new dessert and bakery project a few doors from their mainstay at Jalan Pisang, Sinseh: The Grocery.
Occupying a small shophouse half the size of their restaurant, the intimate space is minimalist yet cozy with whitewashed concrete walls, wooden shelf displays of trinkets like retro cookie jars and cooking memorabilia, and a corner dedicated to fancy cutlery and artisan baking goods for sale. But don't expect to get too cushy because apart from a table and a few chairs outside, there aren't any dine-in options.
Apart from the usual croissants and baguettes and focaccia, the in-house bakery here does hearty bagel sandwiches with fillings like salmon and dill, turkey bacon and egg, grilled cheese and grilled vegetable. Desserts include death-by-carbs option bagel ice cream sandwich with homemade vanilla ice cream and fruit, nut and chocolate chips. Just like their predecessors at Lab SG, they're pretty big on dessert drinks like the earl grey float that sees a dollop of their home made early grey ice cream on a root beer or Coke, virgin lychee mojitos and caramel apple fizz.

Inspired by the craft beer and fresh seafood culture of San Diego, Draft & Craft is a unique restaurant-bar concept that serves authentic Southern Californian comfort food and specializes in craft beer, unique cocktails and artisanal cheeses.
Draft & Craft was conceptualized and founded by a couple that moved here from San Diego, who wanted to bring the freshness and easiness of Baja-influenced So-Cal dining to Singapore. The essence of So-Cal dining is fresh ingredients and is usually accompanied with a craft beer or cocktail in a casual, breezy setting. "Draft" refers to the draft gourmet beers on tap, and "Craft" refers to the craft food, cocktails and artisanal cheeses offered.
Draft & Craft serves up "Baja-style" Mexican food, which is a popular staple in Southern California because of its emphasis on fresh produce and seafood with it being typically lighter on the stomach when compared to traditional Mexican fare. Their food is mostly made from scratch, with a few components carefully sourced and selected by their chef. Highlights of the menu include epicurean versions of grilled cheese sandwiches and tacos such as the Baja Fish which consists of beer-battered and fried fish fillet, pico de gallo, fresh shredded cabbage and homemade white sauce enveloped in a warm and soft flour tortilla. In addition, Draft & Craft hopes to introduce the concept of beer and cheese pairings. The effervescence and varying flavors of different beers serves to complement a wide selection of cheeses as they bring out the subtle notes in one another. The gourmet cheese-tasting platter, as well as individual cheese wedges offered on the menu as supplemental beer pairings, were handpicked by their cheese consultant, who owns several cheese bars in Portland, Oregon.
Driven by his passion in craft beer, their beers are lovingly curated by the owner who is a beer connoisseur and home-brewer himself. Some of the offerings on tap include Stone IPA, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Prairie Saison, and Anderson Valley Summer Solstice. The bottled beer list is constantly expanding and includes a good selection of IPAs, Trappist ales, stouts, porters and ciders.
For wine lovers, they have a selection of white and red wines carefully selected from a small and vibrant wine supplier. The wines offered are made from carefully tended vines, with minimal intervention in the cellar that is looked after by dedicated wine growers. The results are apparent- balanced, delicious and interesting wines which pair well with food. Cocktail drinkers can also choose from the craft cocktail menu that was specially concocted by the owner. The menu places a strong emphasis on fresh ingredients, such as "A Summer's Day" which consists of champagne, elderflower liquor, and fresh cucumber honey water made from scratch daily.
Housed in a 1,000 square foot venue on the bustling Circular Road, in the heart of the Central Business District, Draft & Craft boasts an intimate setting with a capacity of 80 beer-loving patrons. Over at Draft & Craft, they hold the belief that the devil is in the details and they spare no effort in creating a great experience for you.

Housed in one of the most iconic buildings located on Keong Saik Road, this dynamic destination is set to shake up SingaporeŌĆÖs bar and restaurant scene. Offering four venues within one building, you will be able to combine the distinctively different restaurants and bars to create your perfect mix, or visit individually depending on the occasion, mood and time of day.
Potato┬ĀHead Folk has the intimate feel of a private house - the first floor is the kitchen ŌĆō the dynamic burger restaurant Three Buns; the second its living room ŌĆō a relaxed restaurant with table service; the third its private studio ŌĆō a decadent drinking den and the rooftop its garden ŌĆō a tropical-paradise open-air bar.
On the first floor,┬ĀPotato┬ĀHead Folk has taken inspiration from SingaporeŌĆÖs famous hawker centres and the buildingŌĆÖs previous incarnation to create a buzzing street-level restaurant with outdoor seating. Three Buns is an innovative restaurant and bar which redefines the neighborhood burger joint and promises the best burger experience in Singapore. Serving an entirely homemade menu of mouth-watering burgers, sides, sodas and cocktails, everything is available to takeaway or enjoy whilst soaking up the atmosphere on the verandah tables.
The origin of Three BunsŌĆÖ menu and secret burger recipe lies with Chef Adam Penney, brought from London specifically for the project. A veteran of some of the UKŌĆÖs finest restaurant kitchens, Chef Adam was previously behind the enormous critical success of LondonŌĆÖs Patty & Bun┬ĀŌĆō renowned for LondonŌĆÖs finest burgers.

Three Buns will also serve PenneyŌĆÖs renowned dessert pots. Each deliciously sweet pot is made with passion and flair, using the very best ingredients. Flavours will include Rich Chocolate and Zesty Lemon for the perfect three-spoon indulgence.
International expertise continues onto the drinks list at Three Buns, which has been created by world-renowned mixologist Dre Masso, and reflects┬ĀPotato┬ĀHeadŌĆÖs philosophy of simplicity, innovation and quality.

The buildingŌĆÖs second floor is a relaxed space to gather and meet from morning through to night. A comfortable setup which encourages you┬Āto interpret the space to suit you ŌĆō perhaps a spot to work, network with others or simply be inspired by the creativity and beauty of the design.
Designed and decorated in collaboration with renowned Australian artist David Bromley, the style is inspiring and whimsical ŌĆō beautiful bird and butterfly paintings in BromleyŌĆÖs signature style adorn the walls, standing out from the turquoise walls. The approach is artisanal - many of the pieces found here and throughout┬ĀPotato┬ĀHead Folk are original designs, handmade in Bali. The mood is sultrier than downstairs, inviting guests to linger. Three BunsŌĆÖ full menu with table service will be available alongside coffees and pastries during the day.┬ĀThree Buns Restaurant will host a programme of performance, exhibition and interaction featuring Singaporean talents as well as those invited from all over the world. Be it an intimate gig by an up and coming singer, spoken word, poetry or a show of contemporary art this room will be a feast for all the senses.
Every home needs a room that feels private, and Studio 1939 on the third floor is Potato Head Folk's intimate bar - a glamorous reinterpretation of an artist's studio inspired by Bromley's own Melbourne studio. Named in recognition of the stunning four-story art deco building which houses Potato Head Folk and dates back to 1939, this floor showcases a selection of modern art selected by Bromley, juxtaposed with traditional Chinese heritage pieces. Original walls are exposed in their raw form and the room is dressed with ornate objects and vintage furniture sourced from around the world
Elegant and alluring, Studio 1939 serves an eclectic menu of ingredients personally selected and discovered over the years by members of the PTT Family – many delicacies will be available exclusively in Singapore and the menu will change regularly. The cocktail list features personal favourites of Dre Masso and his team – classics and special creations – all prepared with freshly made syrups and the highest grade spirits. The wine list – as befits a private home – offers an unrivalled mix of special vintages, limited collections and private reserves – all specially selected by the team.
Potato┬ĀHead Folk will work with local suppliers as well as importing particular items from unusual locations around the world. Whether small plates of Carpaccio of grass fed venison with steeped Muscat raisins and cocoa nibs or an artisan board of award-winning British cheeses, paired with a cocktail made with special vintage spirits or a glass from a secret wine list, everything served at Studio 1939 will be unique. Open from 5pm until 1am, the bar will operate a policy of reservations only.
Serving as┬ĀPotato┬ĀHead FolkŌĆÖs garden, this will be a beautifully stylish, tranquil and fantastical lush bohemian oasis taking inspiration from Tiki cocktail culture.

Ô Comptoir is the creation of Parisian duo Antoine and Marie Rouland, following the success of their traditional French wine bar, Ô Batignolles on Club Street. Inspired by the belief that 'a little bit of what you love is good for you', Ô Comptoir offers you a chance to indulge in the good life – deliciously simple food, affordable and accessible wine, accompanied by great music.
Ô Comptoir is light, bright and modern in design. Subtle grey-blue and crisp white walls are highlighted with contrasting pops of colour – turquoise blue, neon pink and sunflower yellow. Influenced by industrial style, the floor is simple polished concrete with an exposed ceiling from which bare light-bulbs hang by ropes of varying lengths. Texture is provided by hessian lampshades and natural rope, whilst fresh blue and white stripes have been incorporated into the design sparingly: a modern nod to the traditional nautical design of so many village crêperies across France.
The ninety cover restaurant and bar is a chameleon space – the ideal spot for lunch from 11am, merging seamlessly into a breezy location to while away an afternoon with a coffee or crêpe. At night the bar comes alive with fabulous cocktails and live DJ sets until 2am. The food menu is available at all times.
Choose from cosy banquette seating and elegant tables inside or head onto the vast terrace which wraps around the venue to soak up the outdoor atmosphere.
Alongside the classic French combinations which focus on ham and cheese, Ô Comptoir has devised an innovative series of fusion crêpes. With the quirkily named, 'Kao San Road' and 'Vietnam Calling' both inspired by Asian flavours.
Sweet crêpes range from the simple Classic with butter and sugar, to the indulgent 'Normandy Landing' – homemade salted butter caramel – , the tempting 'Coco Chanel' – pear, chocolate, chantilly and almonds – and the decadent 'PS I Love You' – pineapple, raspberry coulis and chantilly served with a glass of champagne!
A classic Brasserie menu offers an alternative from crêpes including Rump Steak with Roquefort Cheese Sauce and Grilled Salmon with White Wine and Butter Sauce.
As at Ô Batignolles, Le Comptoir will offer a fantastic selection of wines exclusively in Singapore. An impressive range of spirits is available, supplied by La Maison du Whiskey, as well as Singapore's first selection of traditional French Breton cider. Made from tannic apples, this deliciously refreshing beverage is sweet, sparkling, low alcohol but also richly tannic and full of flavour.

Local delight, Bluespoon café, has found a new home along the bustling Joo Chiat Road strip. Previously called Ulu Ulu Café Lounge and located at Loyang Offshore Supply Base where it resided for almost 3 years, Bluespoon then moved to its current 2-storey shophouse location at 325 Joo Chiat Road with a "coffee-house" styled menu of Asian and Western dishes catering to the whole family from the young to the young at heart.
Featuring specialities such as Buah Keluak Rendang (beef or chicken), Slow Roast Chicken Stew, Curried Lamb Shank, Chinese Lamb Shank Soup, Philly Ribeye Steak Bake, Shepherd's Pie, Macaroni Cheese, Bluespoon's dishes evoke hearty comfort food. These dishes stem from chef Dillon's favourite memories of his childhood dining experiences, thus a menu of Asian & Western dishes.
Bluespoon features an open kitchen. The entire 2nd floor is available for private events & parties with buffet style service.
No pork or lard is used, and all meat and ingredients are sourced from Halal suppliers. It's also an alcohol-free zone.
Manhattan is Regent's Singapore newest grand hotel bar inspired by the 19th century's Golden Age of cocktails and fine drinking.
Delivering on its name with a glamorous yet modern space reminiscent of old New York, craft bartending meets artisanal spirits to pay homage to classic and forgotten cocktails that leap from the pages of history.
The world's first in-hotel rickhouse serves as a unique workshop for celebrated American Head Bartender Ricky Paiva. Featuring over 100 American oak barrels from a small cooperage in Minnesota, the rickhouse will be used to finish whiskies and other spirits and to age bitters and single-cask cocktails. Throughout the year, savour a rotating "From the Rickhouse" selection of Paiva's finest oak-driven work.
A one-of-its-kind Ingredients Room – housing a remarkable collection of unusual ingredients from around the world (think rarities such as wildcherry bark, shisandra berries and dandelion root) – along with a carefully curated selection of fine artisanal spirits and recipes of yesteryear, serve as inspiration for Paiva as he handcrafts his list of interesting and unusual tipples.
The main beverage menu will feature 25 seasonally rotating cocktails that take you on a journey through the rich history, cultures and flavours of Manhattan's countless intriguing neighbourhoods, be it Spanish Harlem, the Theatre District or Wall Street. Other must-tries include a unique solera-aged Negroni, the housemade traditional rock & rye, and a first-of-its-kind trolley service that elevates the classic Manhattan cocktail by blending rare and house-finished spirits, artisanal vermouths and a unique collection of bitters to each guest's taste.
Equally noteworthy: A premium ice programme carefully designed to showcase the multitude of rare, house- made and artisanal ingredients in the cocktails. Made from water of the highest quality, the array of high-purity, high-density hand-cut ice offerings ensure flavours take centerstage, enhancing your experience.
Manhattan's tireless attention to detail also extends to its custom cocktail glasses, handcrafted by one of the world's oldest glass factories. Shaken cocktail lovers can sip from the rim of an elegantly striated coupe, while stirred whiskey enthusiasts can imbibe from the depths of one-of-a-kind Nick and Nora styled stemware. Recognizing that all fine whiskeys start as an artfully arranged grain mash, Manhattan worked closely with an award-winning local microbrewery to develop an exclusive "Knickerbocker" lager that pays respect to the deep traditions of craft brewing in America. Inspired by the traditional American steam ale, the refreshingly crisp lager combines multiple malts and two different hops to lend a light "fruity" feel.
At Manhattan, food isn't an afterthought. To complement the inspired beverages, Chef Nicholas Trosien reinvents iconic New York gastronomy, serving up gourmet bar bites that reflect New York's melting pot of cultures. Citrusy Shrimp Ceviche Tacos, topped with a delicious Bloody Mary cocktail sauce, are excellent to share, as are the House-made Kettle Chips, perfect with a pan-fried onion dip laced with rum-infused grated foie gras. A modern spin on classics, other libation-friendly standouts include the Lobster "Roll", fresh Maine lobster wrapped around a refreshing crab salad, and Street Style Hot Dogs dressed with mustard made from Manhattan's Knickerbocker lager. His clever interpretation of The Big Apple Cheesecake (a delicate rum- infused apple mousse on a vanilla sable) and Bourbon-infused Donuts make for a sweet finish to your night out.
A contemporary evocation to the Golden Age of cocktails, Manhattan's sophisticated d├®cor spotlights the bar as the "stage" and the bartender, the lead actor. Behind mysterious black lacquer panels and a refined Italian marble entry foyer, a feature staircase draws the eye to the center of the room where more than 300 illuminated bottles become "the dramatic backdrop" against which the bartenders perform. While the luxuriantly colored furnishings evoke the richness associated with legendary 19th century New York hotel bars, the ornate inlaid Turkish and Italian stone scalloping of the bar stage pays homage to the iconic buildings of Manhattan with an art deco style.
Despite these strong throwback elements, Manhattan exudes an upscale contemporary feel with luxuriously upholstered leather chairs and sofas and walls lined with patterned woven linen, making it the perfect spot to congregate and celebrate over well-executed cocktails and bar cuisine. At the same time, the openness of the design ensures that every guest entering the door will soak in the theater of craft bartending.

The Beast unleashes its American made Southern comfort fare and one of a kind Bourbon Bar on Singapore.
A 4,000 square foot three story shophouse on Victoria Street to some people would just be, well, a shophouse. That wasn't the case with entrepreneur Jamie Koh. She took one look at the space, with its high ceilinged loft, and thought, "Animal barn." Hence, The Beast was born.
Since the first floor of a barn is where the animals generally "play", she converted it into a space for a casual bar for you to unleash your inner beast and indulge in hearty comfort fare and copious amounts of drinks. The second floor, generally where animal feed is stored in barns, became the dining room, seating thirty guests. The third floor was transformed into an event space, complete with twinkling suspended lights. Rusted oil drums, corrugated iron sheets, weathered wood, imported farmhouse pendant lights and oil lamps lend credence to its chic, industrialized barn style.
Lauded as Singapore's first bourbon bar replete with over 30 kinds of bourbon whiskey, The Beast features bourbon tapped from the imported oak barrels displayed behind the bar. In addition, home-made liqueurs such as its very own version of Southern Comfort and a barrel-aging program where classic classic cocktails, such as the Manhattan and Negroni are barrel-aged for 4-6 weeks, comprise another highlight of The Beast. American bartenders lend their expertise by conceptualizing craft cocktails exclusively for The Beast. Besides spirits, the restaurant has an extensive list of hard-to-find American craft beers featuring notable breweries such as Evil Twin, Magic Hat, Stone and Deschutes.
Food-wise, comfort food from the American South is the focus, with dishes like shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, pimento cheese with bacon jam dip and the Beast burger, a gigantic 9 inch bun with over 1.5kg of meat. The Beast also has a late-night bar snacks menu and plans to launch an all-you-can-drink Sunday brunch in the weeks to come.
Jamie Koh is the Managing Director of The Beast and Chupitos Shots Bar, Singapore's first specialized shots bar in Clarke Quay.

Rubato has opened in brand new premises.
Rubato is derived from the musical term tempo rubato, Italian for stolen time. In music, it describes the practice of playing with expressive and rhythmic freedom that adds a sense of improvisatory flair to the performance, introduces variety, infuses life and emotion into the otherwise mechanical execution of playing by rote. For Rubato, it perfectly translates to the creative liberties they take with Italian cuisine, whilst always staying true to tradition.
They prepare all their dishes from scratch and ensure all their pastas are cooked à la minute. Good food is about enhancing the natural flavours of the ingredients, not overpowering them. Their pizzas are prepared using only the freshest mozzarella cheese and '00' flour imported from Italy, baked in a custom-designed wood-fired pizza oven, ensuring the aromas from Italy permeate every inch of their establishment.
Serving stylish and modern Italian cuisine following their immigrant nonne (Italian for grandmothers) recipes, Chef Marcus became smitten by this concept and brought it to Singapore.

Situated on the former grounds of Pamplemousse Bistro and Bar, Chef-owner Adrian Ling's first foray into the restaurant scene in Singapore, Pidgin Kitchen & Bar has been a brainchild in the making for Adrian for over two years.

A 4.4 metre bar welcomes you if you prefer dining without fuss and while "craft" is the word for beers and cocktails at Pidgin, handmade crockery by the team gives the term "personalised service" a whole new meaning.

The Cheese Ark has opened at PasarBella.
All things ancient and old are fading out and disappearing as we speak. The same goes for cheese, traditional ways of herding animals are gone and the historical ways of making and aging cheese are lost and forgotten. Farmers and cheesemakers are not able to survive the economic pressures of operating in the traditional way.
There is a small group of cheesemakers though, who still insist on doing things the old way (the only way they find acceptable despite every hurdle they face). They are few and far between; and for the sake of the animals, they are found in the mountain ranges and the country. Getting to them is a struggle in itself but finding and tasting the cheese as it should be makes it all worthwhile.
The Cheese Ark gathers rare cheese that are on the brink of being phased out by time and evolution. These are from cheesemakers who belong to the Slow Food Presidia that protects unique regions and ecosystems and recovers traditional methods that are at risk of disappearing. More than just artisanal cheese, these are cheese that are about to be extinct if nothing is done.
They believe that to save the cheese, all we need to do is to eat the cheese. Every bit of cheese sold gives them the money and assurance they need to grow and make more wonderful cheese.

Artisanal coffee house, Jewel Coffee, has launched its second outlet, Jewel Café + Bar, in the heart of Little India on Rangoon Road.
This all-day casual chic dining concept offers you an extensive menu devoted to a selection of delicious comfort food, unique creations, original cocktails as well as its artfully crafted specialty coffee.
The striking industrial chic look at Jewel Café + Bar is based on a design of contrasts and is conceptualised by the local cross disciplinary design practice FARM. Envisioning Jewel as a gem amongst the rugged surrounds of timeworn Rangoon Road, FARM decided on a raw shell of cold, bare concrete which is embellished with jewel-inspired details such as glittering crystal light bulbs, warm brass and copper ceiling features, glass doors, teakwood paneling and pristine white subway tiles reminiscent of vintage diners.
The laidback, quirky personality of the café is also evident from the al fresco patio at the front of the café, which is set up with latticed wire chairs in a retro shade of blue and an oversized chalk board that depicts witty cartoon etchings by a local artist.
For the menu, they took an irreverent approach to calorie-counting and go the whole hog to tantalise your taste buds. For instance, the traditional French Onion Soup is duly capped with a comforting baguette crust of Swiss Cheese, Parmesan and Gruyère, which is a great foil for the sweet caramelised onions beneath.
Don't miss the unique Shio-Koji Octopoke, Jewel's rendition of the poke, a Hawaiian raw fish salad, that's given a touch of Japanese glamour. Tender cubes of pan-seared octopus are tossed in shio-koji (a fermented rice-based salt substitute), wasabi and extra virgin olive oil, paired with creamy avocado and shredded ginger flower for extra zing.
The sweet-toothed should leave room for classic desserts such as Homemade Apple Crumble, Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Bean Ice-Cream. A standout treat is the refreshing Pan-Seared Watermelon Steaks that's simultaneously warm, sweet, tart and salty.
With its wide array of breakfast items, Jewel Café + Bar makes a great destination for a languorous pick-me-up any day of the week. The breakfast menu lists popular favourites like English Breakfast, Eggs Royale, Eggs Florentine, Croque Monsieur and Brioche French Toast.
You can pop in for early cocktails during the happy hour daily or post-dinner tipples, as Jewel's full-fledged bar serves up a list of exquisite original concoctions and international beers.
All their espresso-based coffee specialties – served in their signature double shot style – are lovingly pulled using the Italian state-of-the-art "La Marzocco Strada" machine and freshly-ground single origin coffee beans from different countries such as Brazil, Ethiopa and Sumatra.

Omakase Burger offers cheeseburgers, chicken burgers, fries, beer and more. Bringing you an authentic American burger experience.
The spirit of "Omakase" is to entrust. It is the age-old Japanese sushi-bar tradition of entrusting the chef with creating a most memorable meal with the best he has to offer. Their food philosophy is simple: to serve simple quality food. They are committed to quality and innovation, offering you the best of what will soon become your favourite burger.
When it comes to beef, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Each individual cut, be it the decadent ribeye, succulent sirloin, rich flank, or flavourful tenderloin, has its own distinguishing texture and mouth-watering flavour. Just like how many of the world's best wines are a blend of different grape varieties, a beef patty made from a blend of different cuts of the cow combines the unique flavour signatures of each cut to deliver deeper taste and eye-opening flavour with each bite. That's the Omakase difference.
Soft, chewy, complementary, these are the attributes they look for in their bun. Their specially-designed artisanal bun allows the meat to take centre stage while remaining solid enough to absorb the juices of their burger without falling apart.
Their cheese melts like butter on contact when the sizzling patties come off the grill. Their fries are made from the highest-grade 100% trans-fat free USA potatoes available in Asia.
From their family-friendly "squeeze-your-own" orange juicer to old classics and rarely seen craft beers, there is a drink for everyone.

Carspotters' Challenge #60--Cadillac Cafe
It's 2:40 on a sunny afternoon in the 1970s, and we're in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, on Highland Avenue South, in a neighborhood known as "Five Points South."
The Cadillac Cafe is long out of business, but the building still stands. Its rooftop sign was considered something of a local landmark. See any Cadillacs--or any other interesting wheels?
