Dessert Shop · Downtown Core · 20 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: The injeolmi bingsu with no extras is a nice balance between savoury and sweet. It’s also light without being bland. Bring a jumper if going upstairs because it gets cold! Yay for 24h :)
#04-63/67, Plaza Singapura (68 Orchard Rd), Singapore
Japanese Restaurant · Central Region · 17 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: The DIY lightly beaten raw egg "dipping sauce" means you can eat the shabu shabu hot and right out of the soup stock. The soups and remaining raw egg are also great to mix with some rice at the end.
#01-16, Kebun Bahru Food Centre (226H Ang Mo Kio St. 22), Singapore
Chinese Restaurant · Ang Mo Kio · 23 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Amazing beef noodles with tender, juicy beef slices and offal. Recommend the mixed beef (dry - squeeze the lime in), or the beef laksa for something different.
#01-10to17, Plaza Singapura (in MUJI) (68 Orchard Road), Singapore
Café · Central Region · 13 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Simple, healthy hot n' cold deli sets with a mix of regular and seasonal choices. The seasoning for their fries is unique. I like their alcohol-free "mojito" :)
#03-81 Plaza Singapura (Orchard Road & Oldham Lane), Singapore, Singaopore
Japanese Restaurant · Central Region · 41 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Chicken nabe base 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Nabe only served for dinner though - ramen at lunch. Don’t bother with the shirakuma dessert. The loyalty program is cute and gets you a free appetiser on 2nd visit.
#03-84, Plaza Singapura (68 Orchard Rd), Singapore
Café · Central Region · 114 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Still acceptable, but quality of the food has gone down a lot over the years. Online ratings are misleading, they give diners offers/drinks for high online reviews.
#01-03 The Cathay (2 Handy Road), Orchard, Singapore
Japanese Restaurant · 3 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Really disappointing - pricey, not stingy with ingredients but the marinade is strange, raw ingredients poorly prepared and the rice for their dons is poor quality.
Ramen Restaurant · Orchard Road · 212 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Get the egg topping - it's one of the best. Lemon soda went well with our ramen and you can refill it once (soda water and sugar syrup on table). Great ramen broth. Don't bother with chicken karaage.
#06-28, Singapore Shopping Centre, 190 Clemenceau Ave. (Penang Rd), Singapore
Escape Room · Central Region · 1 tip
Sara Kay: The rooms build on each other in terms of difficulty so try going from easiest to hardest. There’s a fun “X-factor” in each room - something that makes the rooms unique. Fave escape room in SG.
#03-24A, Thomson Plaza (301 Upp Thomson Rd), Singapore
Japanese Restaurant · Bishan · 23 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Good value chirashi! Recommend the salmon sashimi, unagi and scallops (all available in the premium kaisen don). Omakase available when they get a new shipment of fresh fish. Watch out for the queue.
Sara Kay: Brightly lit arcade with 3 purikura (photo sticker) machines, some slightly older games like basketball, Time Crisis 2&4, DDR Supernova 2. 2RM for an arcade card, average 1RM per game, 13RM for puri.
Sara Kay: Sweet potato gelato was pretty different (in a good way) but the sweet potato bingsu is crazy expensive (almost 30RM), was really bland and more like ice kacang.
697-699 North Bridge Rd (opp Sultan Mosque), Singapore
Indian Restaurant · Central Region · 267 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: The biryani and gravy were really good but give the deer murtabak a miss, the meat really wasn’t fresh (it’s advertised a lot in the store/menu).
#02-50 Bugis Junction (200 Victoria Street), Singapore
Japanese Restaurant · Downtown Core · 5 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: The tendon & tempura is really good (I mean, it's their signature) and super filling but the chirashidon is also yummy! The meal set versions of dishes is worth it - the chawanmushi is nicely done.
Japanese Restaurant · Central Region · 60 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Omakase is still excellent value for money - the chefs love to play around so it's guaranteed to be a fun evening. The sashimi and wagyu were the best.
Sara Kay: Better value games than most arcades/prize places these days & they still use old-school tokens & tickets (bring cash in small notes for the token machine). The left gun on Gun Bullet is broken.
#03-90/91, The Central (6 Eu Tong Sen St), Singapore
Ramen Restaurant · Singapore River · 61 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Go for extra char siew & def. add ajitsuke tamago if not going for the all-toppings special! The karashi (spicy) stock is great to mix things up a bit. 6 years on & still my fave chicken-based ramen.
Ramen Restaurant · Downtown Core · 15 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Hamaguri clam and pork broth is unique and must-try but everything we tried was delicious. Watch out for the queue and prepare to wait longer if you want to sit inside.
#01-206 Resorts World Sentosa (26 Sentosa Gateway), Singapore
Pizzeria · Sentosa Island · 7 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Pricey. The spicy lamb pizza (thin crust) and the banana kiwi smoothie were nice. The signature pizza (thick crust) was okay and the peanut butter fries are not worth the novelty factor.
Coffee Shop · Central Region · 217 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Hipster af. The bottled and draught cold brews are among the best I've tried in Singapore. Food is also good here with a new menu every now and then.
#02-08, Bugis Cube (470 North Bridge Rd.), Bugis Cube, Singapore
Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Downtown Core · 9 tips and reviews
Sara Kay: Creative, yummy vegetarian food. Really like the black pepper spaghetti and the salted egg hash bites. Eating buddy didn't even realise the place was vegetarian until halfway through the meal 😂
