Where To Eat & Drink: A Steampunk-inspired Bar, Mod-Jap Restaurant Takeshi San And More
Tanjong Pagar has a new steampunk-inspired bar
image

There’s a new hangout spot in Tanjong Pagar. Rails, a steampunk-inspired bar and lounge by lifestyle brand A Phat Cat Collective has just opened its doors.

Envisioned as a train platform with a steampunk twist, the thematic getaway draws on Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and Jinrikisha Station, complete with an LED-lit installation of a steampunk clock tower, studded with gears and cogwheels that trail up to the ceiling that form the DJ console, a glass-paneled bar counter with exposed brass pipelines, and an entrance fashioned like a vintage elevator shuttered with steel scissor gates.

Sip on inventive cocktails – choose from fizzy refreshers, milk-based tipples, or bold, stiffer options. There’s even a Murder On The Orient Express cocktail ($25), inspired by the famous novel of the same name, which is a dark concoction of an acquired, licorice lace of absinthe, coffee liqueur, pear, pineapple, and orange juice shaken with activated charcoal.

If you’re feeling peckish, the bar serves up bites from Chix Hot Chicken, known for its Nashville fried chicken. Tame your bellies with fried chicken sandwiches, sliders, or a hearty breakfast wrap.

Rails is at 21 Tanjong Pagar Road, #01-02, Singapore 088444.

Mod-Jap restaurant Takeshi San opens at Holland Village
image

There’s no denying our collective love for Japanese food, and there’s a new eatery in town to get your fix. Takeshi San, a mod Jap restaurant has sprung up at Holland Village, with both classic and inventive fare.

Must-tries include the Sushi Kaidan Sets (from $15) with various nigiri beautifully showcased on a wooden stepped display. Or go for the more decadent uni or foie gras iterations. If you’re not big on rice, consider the pasta selections, or the A5 Wagyu Truffle Inaniwa Udon ($32), which has succulent wagyu slices, aromatic truffle and a runny egg atop springy udon.

Wash it down with its wide range of sake.

Takeshi San is at 38 Lorong Mambong Hollang Village, Singapore 277694.

The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore’s Lobby Lounge has an all-new afternoon tea concept that’ll, well, get you both hot and cold.

The new Fire & Ice Afternoon Tea set comprises five courses of sweet and savoury bites, and each is served with a different tea. You’ll find items that personify the ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ elements of the theme; like a lit Baba Au Rhum for a fiery dessert, and a raspberry sorbet and sparkling wine to represent ‘ice’, making for both a sensorial and visual delight. Other delectable morsels include smoked salmon focaccia with pistachio cream, scones, chocolate marzipan cake, plum streusel and more.

Available from 2.30pm to 5pm daily at the Lobby Lounge and priced at $58++ per person with tea pairing, add $20++ for two glasses of champagne.

The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore is at 15 Stamford Road, Singapore 178906.

For date night or elegant dinner with the girlfriends, check out modern European restaurant Tablescape, which has recently unveiled a new menu that showcases new ingredients, techniques and inspirations.

For starters, there’s Botanic Garden, a colourful plant-based dish of charcoal-grilled aubergine and other vegetables tossed in a secret housemade dressing. Or order the Foie Gras starter which has an boozy hit thanks to wild cherries preserved in alcohol.

For mains, there’s housemade gnocchi with wasabi foam as well as Australian wagyu with a marbling score of 5 or 6. And if you’re up for something sweet, there’s Chocolate, an indulgent chocolate and caramel cake served with a unique and aromatic cardamom sauce.

Degustation menus are available.

Tablescape is at Level 3, Grand Park City Hall, 10 Coleman Street, Singapore 179809.
