A Toy Story-inspired afternoon tea at Skai

To infini-tea and beyond! Skai Bar & Restaurant’s new Toy Story-inspired afternoon tea will have you sinking your teeth into bites that nod to beloved characters — all while soaking in the views from the 70th storey of Swissotel The Stamford, where Skai is perched.

Naturally, there’s Buzz Lightyear and Woody, reimagined as Space Ranger — a berry sponge cake layered with berry compote and cream cheese — and Cowboy Chocolate, made with Caraïbe 66% chocolate and crisp hazelnut feuilletine, complete with a tiny cowboy hat.

Keep an eye out for other familiar faces too. Mr Potato Head gets a savoury makeover with smooth Russet potato mousse, black truffle and caviar, and Slinky Dog appears as a smoky wagyu hotdog nestled in flaky pastry. Hamm the piggy bank comes as a smoked duck mousse with honey apple gel sandwiched between savoury duck crackling. Meanwhile, Tropical Roar puts a tropical spin on Rex, reimagining the classic bolo pineapple bun with pandan mascarpone.

There’s a little surprise toward the end: Jessie and Bullseye make an appearance with a fragrant Alphonso mango sorbet for a refreshing finale. You’ll also get to order either an alcohol-free cocktail, a cup of TWG tea, or gourmet coffee (included with the afternoon tea).

When: Available daily till Sep 30 2026, 12.15pm to 5.30pm.
How much: $78++ per adult, including a handcrafted non-alcoholic cocktail, TWG Tea or gourmet coffee

Skai is at #70-01 Swissotel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road, Singapore 178882. Visit Skai’s website for reservations or more information.

Parkside cafe Shared Table opens in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park

Whether you’re in need of quiet me-time, a nourishing meal, or both, here’s a new spot to park yourself at - new cafe Shared Table, nestled within Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.

Designed as a space to gather over wholesome food, the cafe pairs tranquil views of the surrounding greenery with earthy hues, wooden furnishings and communal tables. Furbabies are welcome too, with a pet-friendly alfresco area.

A menu highlight is the Nourish Plate (from $21.90), drawing on the Japanese philosophy of Ichiju Sansai (”one soup, three dishes”) that emphasises balance and variety, and mindful eating. Choose one grain — options include lemon herbed rice, couscous with furikake, soba and udon — and one protein, such as Hainanese Sous Vide Chicken Breast, Honey Glazed Goji Smoked Duck or Crispy Miso Salmon. Vegetarians can opt for the sweet-and-mildly-spicy Gong Bao Lion’s Mane Mushroom. Each plate also comes with two sides and the soup of the day.

Each of these is available a la carte, but you can try other options like the Grilled Chicken Skewers ($14.90), spice-marinated cubed chicken thigh that’s char-grilled and finished with housemade tzatziki sauce, or the housemade Hummus with Roasted Mushroom ($18.90), served with warm pita bread for scooping.

Shared Table is at Ang Mo Kio-Bishan Park, 1382 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, Singapore 569932. Opens Mon to Sun, 11.30am to 9pm (last order 9pm for food; 9.30pm for drinks). Closed on Tue in Sep 2026. Visit Shared Table’s Instagram page for more information.

Surrey Hills Grocer’s new afternoon tea

If you’re in the Orchard area on a weekday and in need of a midday respite, make a beeline for Surrey Hills Grocer at Ion Orchard. With its botanical decor and windows affording views of Orchard Road and natural light, it’s just the place to unwind and savour its new afternoon tea created by award-winning chef Lamley Chua.

Melding the cafe’s Australian roots and chef Lamley’s signature Asian influences, the set arrives as a whimsical botanical landscape, complete with a guide that recommends the order in which to enjoy each bite. The savouries are stellar, from a creamy Egg Mayo Tortilla Bite to a Pork Benny Bite that packs plenty of flavour atop a crisp cracker, lifted with onion puree and orange oil. A Garden Fresh Avo Mash bite freshens up the palate, before you move on to a deliciously smoky char siew bao that would have been even more satisfying if it remained warm.

Sweets are decidedly decadent. The Coconut & Mango Parfait, served in a coconut shell with mango sorbet, is refreshing, while the silky Milo Egg Pudding delivers rich malty flavours, though it’s on the sweeter side. The Pandan Caramel Slice, Calamansi & Pineapple Pavlova and Kopi Tim Tam all hit the right flavour notes too, but together they make for a rather sweet finish. If you have a serious sweet tooth, you’ll likely enjoy every bite — we found ourselves wishing for a little more balance.

$68++ for two guests; each set includes coffee or tea for every guest. Available on weekdays from 2pm to 5pm at Surrey Hills Grocer’s Ion Orchard outlet. Visit its website for reservations or more information.

Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Box Cafe lands in Singapore

Channel Holly Golightly and have your own Breakfast At Tiffany’s moment - the Tiffany Blue Box Cafe has landed in Singapore and opened in Ion Orchard, on the third floor of the brand’s newly reopened flagship. The menu’s a collab with chef Julien Royer of three-Michelin-starred Odette and Claudine, blending American influences, French classics and a Singaporean perspective.

The Breakfast at Tiffany’s set ($78++ per pax) arrives on a two-tiered silver stand, featuring flaky viennoiseries, baguettes, cured trout and a fragrant lavender madeleine. It also includes chef Julien’s signature Oeuf à la Coque — wobbly Japanese Oita soft-boiled eggs with a spoonful of Oscietra caviar, served with crisp brioche soldiers. Plus, homemade granola with smooth organic yoghurt, acacia honey and seasonal fruit, as well as your choice of coffee, tea or chocolate, and fresh juice. Available 10am to 11.30am.

Beyond breakfast, expect afternoon tea and an a la carte menu featuring dishes such as Chef Julien’s Confit Yellow Chicken, a nod to Singapore’s chicken rice, and the signature Tiffany & Co. burger.  

The Blue Box Cafe is at #03-11 and #03-12, Ion Orchard, Singapore 238801. Visit Tiffany & Co’s website for more information.

Chin Mee Chin has a new cafe

Synonymous with its iconic Katong location, Chin Mee Chin has ventured to the Northeast and set up shop at Nex. Familiar touches — from soft pastel interiors to nostalgic design details — remain, while the menu introduces a mix of classics and new creations.

The signature Toast Sets ($6.50) are still a mainstay, joined by the Kaya Custard Choux au Craquelin — a crisp craquelin shell filled with the bakery’s house-made kaya custard — as well as the new Dark Chocolate Choux au Craquelin. Both are available individually for $3 or in a box of four for $10.

Daily bakes such as the Luncheon Meat Bun, Otah Bun and Hae Bee Hiam Bun ($2.80 each) are complemented by new additions including the Curry Potato Pie ($3.80), Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken Cutlet ($10.80) and Grilled Kaffir Lime Chicken Sandwich ($8.80).

Beyond the usual kopi and tea, the drinks menu also features new creations like the Kaya Cloud Kopi ($5.50) and Salted Gula Melaka Cloud Kopi ($5.50), offering a modern spin on familiar local flavours.

Chin Mee Chin Nex is at 23 Serangoon Central, B2-60/61 Nex, Singapore 556083. Opens daily from 8am to 9.30pm, with last order at 9pm.

New Cafes, Restaurants & Menus in July 2026

Madeleine’s Portuguese Egg Tarts is back with a cafe

If you’ve missed Madeleine’s Original Portuguese Egg Tarts since it shuttered its Tanjong Katong shop in 2024, its new reopening is sure to pique your interest. And there’s more — it’s not just selling egg tarts, it’s a full-fledged cafe too.

Situated in Aperial Mall, the space sports a modern makeover with an open layout. The concept? A Macau cha chaan teng-inspired space. Behind the cafe isn’t Madeleine’s original founders. Instead, sibling duo Zac, a Shatec culinary graduate, and his sister Vernice, 18, a baking enthusiast, now helm it. They approached the founders to revive the brand and work closely with them on the egg tart recipe.

If you’re curious, yes, the OG egg tarts ($2.50 each, $15 for a box of six) are as good as they used to be - flaky and crispy with a creamy, eggy centre that leans the right side of sweet. There’s also a new gula melaka egg tart ($2.80 each, $16 for a box of 6pcs), though the custard texture is more dense and almost tamago-like than smooth and silky.

With its Macau-inspired concept, the menu features both beloved classics and inventive takes on signature dishes. A standout is the Pan Fried African Chicken ($9.80) — a fusion dish born out of Macau — served with juicy chicken coated in a zingy sweet-spicy coconut glaze, alongside couscous and a runny sunny-side-up egg.

The Minchee Rice ($10.90) offers a creative spin on the Macau staple, pairing beef and pork ragu with a silky onsen egg and potato confit that evokes the comforting flavours of lu rou fan (braised pork rice). The iconic Pork Chop Bun also makes an appearance, though its rather bland, slightly tough pork chop isn’t too memorable.

The traditional Macau beef stew ($9.90) is reimagined with capellini in place of the usual rice or thick noodles. The light, savoury broth and tender beef chunks are satisfying, although the delicate pasta doesn’t absorb much of the broth’s flavour.

With mains priced under $13, it’s an easy pick for a casual, pocket-friendly meal. And while the savouries are a mixed bag, it’s worth leaving with a box of the egg tarts.

Madeleine’s Original Portuguese Egg Tarts is at #01-54 Aperial Mall, 12 Kallang Avenue, Singapore 339511. Opens 11am to 8pm.

Handmade pasta under $20 at the new Tavola Aperta

For your next pasta fix, head to the new Tavola Aperta at Plaza Singapura, a new casual restaurant that’s wooing diners with pasta dishes at no more than S$20. Plus, they’re handmade fresh daily by chefs, including one from L.A.’s famed Felix Trattoria.

Expect a mix of classics and new school creations. Traditionalists can go for the vibrant Pesto Alla Genovese, a bright and nutty blend of pine nuts, basil, plus lots of parmigiano-reggiano and pecorino, perfectly paired with plump tubes of rigatoni; or Pasta Ai Funghi, where linguine is blanketed in a deeply savoury portobello mushroom duxelle.

Or switch it up with new flavours like White Ragu Bolognese, featuring slow-cooked beef in a velvety cream sauce (rather than its original red sauce) over pappardelle and Gamberi, which offers an Asian spin on the perennial coastal favourite prawn pasta with generous amounts of dried kombu is sauteed in an umami prawn stock, then topped with seared tiger prawns.

Beyond pasta, the menu also features sourdough pizzas, including the Mortadella e Pistacchio and the heartier Gorgonzola Blue Cheese & Pork Sausage, alongside appetisers such as Caponata alla Siciliana —stewed eggplant served with toasted sourdough — Beef Ragu Arancini and Burrata with Roasted Grapes.

Tavola Aperta is at #01-60 Plaza Singapura, Singapore 238839. Opens daily, 11am to 10pm. Visit its Instagram page for more information.

Goodwood Park Hotel’s Durian Fiesta is back

It’s that time of the year again for Goodwood Park Hotel’s Durian Fiesta, with the hotel’s Coffee Lounge rolling out a Taiwan Porridge with Durian Desserts Buffet. You’ll find all the usual faves here — puffs, crepes, mousse cakes — plus returning hits like the D24 Dark Chocolate Cremeux. There’s also a new D24 Raspberry Gem that cuts through all that rich, creamy durian with a bright raspberry centre. 

Hit up the live stations serving freshly made durian treats on rotation. For starters, there’s the D24 Durian Taco with jalapeno, raspberry and cake in a crunchy shell — a burst of tangy, sweet and rich flavours that surprisingly works. Others include the Nitrogen Meringue Cookies with D24 Durian Boba that pops with creaminess, mini D24 durian pancakes hot off the pan, and Japanese souffle pancakes with D24 durian ice cream, though these lacked the airiness we’d looked forward to.

If it all gets a bit too sweet and rich, the Taiwan porridge spread will help reset your palate. Load up on comforting staples like crispy har cheong gai and braised pork belly with mui choy to balance things out.

Can’t get enough durian? Bring home selected durian treats or shop the hotel’s first-ever Durian Fiesta merch — think cute plushies, stickers and tote bags. Available via walk-in at The Deli, online delivery and self-collection.

When: May 15 to Aug 9, 2026
How much:
- $92++ per adult; $59.80++ per child (Taiwan Porridge with Durian Desserts Buffet)

The kids will love this one — Amara Singapore has teamed up with KitKat to launch a playful high tea experience at Cafe Oriental, putting a chocolatey spin on both sweet and savoury favourites.

At $68++ for two adults (that’s $34++ per person!), expect fun creations like Chicken Satay Skewers served with a chocolate and peanut emulsion, banana and chocolate cheese French toast, and a creamy soft-serve swirl alongside a rich fudge brownie — both infused with KitKat goodness.

For the ultimate KitKat experience, book the Sweet Escape staycation package.

Jiin Omakase opens at Shaw Centre

Omakases can feel formal (or even a touch intimidating), but the newly opened Jiin Omakase by the Les Amis Group at Shaw Centre takes a lighter approach. The space leans into familiar minimalist elegance, yet a row of colourful, playful figurines along the counter adds a welcoming, whimsical touch.

Menus range from $138++ to $388++ for lunch and $288++ to $388++ for dinner. For a splurge-worthy experience, the Chef’s Menu from $488++ showcases rare seasonal ingredients and, when available, live seafood flown in from Japan.

The meal opens with a touch of theatrics: a flash paper presentation unveiling the menu’s seasonal ingredients. From there, it’s on to a refreshing kegani (Japanese hairy crab) appetiser with an umami tang, then a sashimi course served both raw and lightly aburi, served with a sweet Awaji onion ponzu sauce. Our plate included smooth, subtly sweet kinmedai (golden eye snapper), surf clam, akami (lean tuna), and a rich buttery otoro (fatty tuna).

Among the standout dishes are the signature monaka and the Ise Ebi hot pot. The monaka is fun to eat, arriving as an elongated wafer topped with assorted premium ingredients. You get different flavours and textures with each bite — from briny caviar to sweet, creamy botan ebi, uni, hotaru ika (firefly squid), shaved black truffle, and ankimo (monkfish liver).

Equally memorable, the Hot Pot is served bubbling hot with a deeply flavourful yet balanced broth made from Ise Ebi (spiny lobster) and lobster. Alongside tender lobster meat, diners are given crispy sakura ebi to sprinkle over the soup for extra crunch and umami. Yes, much like a bowl of pao fan.

Other dishes include a grilled A5 Kagoshima wrapped around earthy burdock and crisp kataifi, seasonal greens, and a tarabagani (red king crab) don, though we found the sushi rice a touch too vinegary for our taste. A dessert of daifuku, seasonal fruit and a fragrant homemade hojicha ice cream concludes the meal.

Jiin Omakase is at 01-11 Shaw Centre, 1 Scotts Road, Singapore 228208. Visit its website for reservations or more information.

The Cacio e Pepe Fries ($18++), a riff on the classic pasta with Pecorino Romano and Parmesan topping thick-cut fries, is a crowd pleaser. And for something hearty and comforting, go for the Short Rib Rendang Pasta ($29++) — the authentic rendang base is specially prepared for Cloudfields by a makcik.

Those with kids in tow, there are child-friendly options too. The Nori Clam Pasta ($26++) is one of the cafe’s most popular mains, with spaghetti and littleneck clams tossed with housemade kombu and white wine.

New cafes, Restaurants & Menus in March 2026

Park Side opens at Botanic Gardens

A new garden cafe has opened in the Singapore Botanic Gardens: Park Side by PS.Cafe. An easy pit stop after exploring with the kids, it’s all laidback cottagecore vibes here, with indoor and al fresco seating — the latter is pet-friendly, too. On the menu: familiar Asian flavours reimagined with a Western perspective, with tropical fruits, spices, and herbs woven in.

Familiar local dishes get a playful lift, like the Kaya, Bacon & Toast ($22++), which will find favour with those with a sweet tooth. Fluffy kaya French toast, topped with a fried egg and crispy bacon, sits in a pool of Okinawa black sugar caramel, offering a good balance of sugary and savoury. Meanwhile, bak chor mee is reimagined as the Bak Chor & Bacon Udon ($28++), generously portioned with chewy udon noodles in an umami-packed sauce. Toss it with the braised mushrooms, onsen egg, and crispy chilli shrimp for a gloriously messy, slurpable bowl.

The Tamarind Hot Honey Chicken Burger ($26++), stacked with crispy chicken thigh and balanced with tangy mango slaw, is satisfying, though not quite a standout. There are also bites for those aged 12 and under. Think Luncheon Burger ($12++) with housemade luncheon meat, Chicken Bites & Fries ($12++), and Cherry Tomato Spaghettini ($10++).

For dessert, try the soft-serve sundaes ($14++), whether a fruity Swan Lake vanilla with mixed berries or a richer Mud Pie with brownie bites. Don’t skip the drinks, especially after a humid garden stroll. The Sweet After Rain ($9) cold brew coffee hits the spot with gula melaka, pandan, and sea salt cream, and the refreshing Chrysanthemum slushie ($8++) with calamansi juice is worth ordering, too. Overall, the menu’s promising, and I’d happily come back to try more.

Park Side is at 1 Cluny Road 259569, Singapore Botanic Gardens (Nassim Gate, Visitor Centre). Visit its website for more information.

Mary Grace opens in Singapore

Those familiar with beloved Filipino bakery-cafe chain Mary Grace, which has been in business for over three decades, will be glad to know that it’s landed on our shores, expanding beyond the Philippines for the first time. This new 28-seater along Tras Street evokes a cosy, homey feel with stained-glass pendant lights, warm wood accents, and a collaborative mural by Filipino artist Amanda Lapus Santos and Singaporean artist Eunice Hannah Lim to celebrate the meeting of two cultures. 

Expect crowd favourites like signature ensaymadas and cheese rolls, alongside Philippine classics and Singapore exclusives. Of course, there are the pastries that have made it a household name in the Philippines. The Mary Grace Ensaymada ($5.50) is a light, buttery brioche topped with aged Edam, while the Cheese Rolls ($4.30) are soft, golden and filled with creamy cheese. For a richer treat, the Mango Bene ($14.50, petite) layers crisp meringue, custard cream and fresh mango for a dessert that’s both bright and indulgent.T

Singapore gets exclusive creations that nod to beloved local flavours, including a Salted Egg Ensaymada (S$6.50) and a Kaya Pandan Cheese Roll (S$5.30). For something heartier, there’s a Crabcake Brioche ($27), where golden crab cakes sit atop soft ensaymada brioche.

The menu also celebrates Filipino comfort food: lightly seasoned handmade Cassava Chips with Onion Dip (S$12) and mains such as the Angus Beef Tapa ($25.50) – Angus beef slices served with fragrant rosemary fried rice or garlic rice, and eggs your way – and the tangy, achuete-spiced Grilled Chicken Inasal Focaccia ($19.50).

Wash it down with an array of drinks, from coffees to playful cloud drinks and the Mary Grace Hot Chocolate ($7.50).

Cafe Mary Grace is at 52 Tras Street, Singapore 078991. Opens Tues to Sun, 9am to 6pm. Visit its website for more information.

Orh Gao Taproom debuts daytime concept Peh Gao Coffeeshop

Kaya toast with a pint of craft beer? That’s the vibe at Peh Gao Coffeeshop at Jalan Serene Centre. ICYDK, the space is a day-to-night concept (it’s Orh Gao taproom at night), with a newly launched daytime menu focusing on Asian-style plates (and yes, all-day beer).

The housemade kaya churned without preservatives has a creamy, custard-like consistency and a fresh pandan fragrance. A generous slab of butter blankets the toast so each bite is decadent (who’s counting the calories?!). Just be quick — the toast softens fast.

From 10am to 2pm, the menu expands with mains, including choices of nasi lemak, Vietnamese pho, and udon. The nasi lemak comes with options such as Rempah Chicken or Beef Rendang — we went for the Har Cheong Gai ($12+), an Orh Gao signature: crunchy, juicy chicken with a punch of fermented prawn paste, served with fluffy, coconut-scented rice.

Pho comes in several variations, all starring a subtle but tasty broth you can deepen with fish sauce from the self-serve counter. Each also comes laden with a generous portion of tender grass-fed Australian beef chuck. There’s the Pho Original ($13+), Pho Special ($15+) with the addition of springy beefy meatballs, and Pho Ultimate ($19+), served with a whole braised beef rib.

You can’t miss the striking beer wall that anchors the counter, offering 14 rotating taps each week of interesting options — from crisp lagers and tart sours to hoppy IPAs, rich stouts, and seasonal brews by local and international craft breweries.

Peh Gao Coffeeshop is at #01-06 Serene Centre, 10 Jln Serene, Singapore 258748. Opens daily from 8am to 3pm (lunch from 10am to 2pm). Orh Gao Taproom opens Tues to Sun (4pm to 11pm from Tues to Thurs, Sun; 4pm to late from Fri to Sat).

1-Alfaro opens at Labrador Tower

Pencil in this spot for your next date night with hubs — Italian restaurant 1-Alfaro at Labrador Tower. Its Pasir Panjang locale might seem a little far-flung, but it’s surprisingly convenient given how it’s located just steps away from the Labrador MRT station.

The draw? That magnificent view. From its 34th-storey rooftop locale, you’ll get jaw-dropping unobstructed views of the ship-dotted southern sea and a golden sunset (pro tip: make a reservation for 6.30pm). The space is divided into La Torre, the restaurant, and the breezy outdoor La Luna bar.

Now, the food — it’s a love letter to Italy’s northern Emilia-Romagna region. Start with moreish bites like the Fried Lasagna ($18++ for five), crispy nuggets enveloping beef ragu and pasta sheets in a vibrant Bagnetto Rosso (red sauce), and Stecco Petroniano ($14++ for two) – aromatic mortadella and sharp provolone bound with creamy bechamel, snuggled in a crispy fried coating. Then dive into the pasta. The Tagliatelle is swirled with a ragu of Wagyu D Rump beef slowly cooked in cow’s milk till tender, then blanketed with bechamel espuma for extra richness. Another contender is the “Curzoli Romagnoli” Thick Egg Pasta with juicy clams and thick, chewy pasta in a lemon butter sauce. Half portions are $14++, full plates $28++.

The USDA Prime Heritage Linz Ribeye on the bone ‘Costata’ ($148++ for 600g) is made for sharing, grilled on charcoal till perfectly pink, tender and smokey. Tasty sides like tender wood-fired asparagus ($16++) and fried cauliflower florets ($18++) with Pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano complete the meal.

If there’s room for dessert still, make it the Italian Trifle “Zuppa Inglese” ($15++) layered with soft Savoiardi biscuit, pastry cream, chocolate mousse, raspberry gel and fresh raspberries for a sweet, balanced finish.

1-Alfaro is at 1 Pasir Panjang Rd, #34-00 Labrador Tower, Singapore 118479. Visit its website for reservations or more information.

Papi’s Tacos has a new outlet in Jalan Besar

If it’s taco night with the fam, swing by Papi’s Tacos’ newest Jalan Besar outlet — its fourth —decked out in the brand’s signature vibrant decor and bursting with bold Mexican flavours.

Alongside fan favourites, sink your teeth into two outlet exclusives. Try the Duck Confit Tostaditas ($16++ for two) stacked with tender pulled duck, rich mole salsa, and orange-ancho chile–infused white onions that lend sweetness. They’re flavour-packed, though a little petite for the price. The Braised Beef Tongue Tacos ($21++) are for the adventurous. The slow-braised beef tongue is tender with crisp bits, and we’re pleasantly surprised that it has just the slightest hint of gaminess.

A standout? The Quesabirria Tacos ($28) that’s all about the smokey tender, braised Australian beef brisket and oozy mixed cheese nestled between pan-fried corn tortillas. On the side, a savoury, piquant smoked chili broth and sour cream. We also sampled the crispy, hearty Grilled Chicken Quesadilla ($17), loaded with chicken chunks, and the Tacos de Cochinita Pibil ($17), featuring tender house-smoked pork belly – though the latter could’ve used a bit more punch.

Papi’s Tacos is at 149 Tyrwhitt Rd, Singapore 207562. Visit its website for reservations or more information.

Jumbo Premium launches at Weave, Sentosa

The next time you’re at Sentosa for a family day out (like a trip to the new Singapore Oceanarium), there’s a new restaurant to satisfy rumbling bellies — Jumbo’s first Premium outlet. The 140-seater space is sleek yet welcoming, with warm wood finishes and two spacious private rooms that each seat up to 24, perfect for multi-gen family meals or special celebrations.

What sets this outlet apart? A menu of specially crafted dim sum and dishes available only here, from 9am to 5pm, daily. One must-try: the Red Ruby Dumplings with tender wild mushrooms , topped with rich truffle sauce. Another standout is the Beef Tripe in Satay Sauce ($16.80++/portion), where honeycomb tripe is cooked till tender and cloaked in a spicy ‘sha cha’ sauce. Kids and grown-ups alike will be charmed by the quaint carrot-shaped Ham Sui Kok with Minced Meat ($6.80++/3pc), as well as juicy Pan Fried Iberico Pork Buns ($8.80++/3pc).

Meanwhile, the a la carte menu showcases Jumbo Seafood’s well-loved dishes, available from 11.30am to 10pm. Think iconic Chilli Crab, of course, but also inventive newcomers like Chilled Prawns with Pomelo in Thai-style dressing ($18++) and a luxe stir-fry of Asparagus with Black Truffle Sauce and Scallops (from $38++).

Jumbo Premium is at 26 Sentosa Gateway, #B1-202/203, Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore 098138. Visit its website for reservations or more information.
