A surprising great speak easy bar in an unexpected place: The Other Room @ Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel Singapore (2. January 2019)
Sometimes you are really positively surprised by a place like I was by the Marriott Tang Plaza. Why you ask? Well, the hotel itself is really not what made me happy but I guess you can’t be picky if you have a certain budget you don’t want to go beyond plus you book shortly before […]
A true Michelin star experience with amazing service: Restaurant Les Amis (2. January 2019)
You might wonder why I decided to have dinner at a French restaurant when in Singapore – the answer is simple, there was only one Two Michelin Starred restaurant left in Singapore which wasn’t fully booked yet. And that was ‘Les Amis’. Once you’re seated, you are served some fluffy bread and butter. What I […]
Overrated: The perfect description for the birth place of the Singapore Sling: Long Bar @ The Raffles Hotel (2. January 2019)
I was told the Long Bar at The Raffles Hotel is an absolute must, so my expectations were relatively high. And frankly, I was a bit disappointed. Not only because The Raffles Hotel is currently being renovated so you don’t really see it and you cannot enter but also because the queue there is and […]
When the line is huge it means the food is good: Hock Soon Roasted Duck Rice @ Maxwell Food Centre (2. January 2019)
A friend had recommended me to visit the Maxwell Food Centre which I did. Unfortunately, he didn’t remember the name or number of the stall so I decided to just go for the place with the longest queue. Given that they were almost sold out in most things which looked tasty (like the duck), I […]
The most amazing view over the whole Singapore marina: The Lighthouse @ One Fullerton Hotel (1. January 2019)
If you are going to Singapore, you absolutely must come here. Not so much because of the drinks. I mean, the “Moscow Mule” (19.00 SGD) is definitely decent but nothing more than that. However, to be fair, this drink is not on the menu and I had specifically asked for it. However, the “Singapore Sling” […]
A Chinese Michelin star isn’t a European Michelin star: Restaurant Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro (1. January 2019)
Given I had booked this trip to Singapore on a relatively short notice, I didn’t have much time to pre-organize restaurant bookings like I usually do and it kind of showed in the end. I went for the Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro which has 1 Michelin Star (previously two in 2016 and 2017) and […]
Decent selection but not worth going here specifically: Restaurant Crossroads @ Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (1. January 2019)
Whenever I stay at a SPG hotel, I try to have the breakfast at least once and I managed exactly that. The breakfast (usually 42.00 SGD but free for SPG Platinum members) consists of quite a selection of things ranging from yogurts … … milk and smoothies … … cereals … … waffles … … […]
Great German burger grill with friendly service: Restaurant Hans im Glück (31. December 2018)
One might wonder why I would dine at Hans im Glück while in Singapore. Well, if you book such a trip short notice and are super tired, then there is left what there is left. And Hans im Glück was still open at 11pm and offered food. So I went for the “Juicy Beef Burger […]
