Looking for “food near me”? Here’s the hottest food news from across Singapore
Lazy Lunch
Lift the spirits with the perfect blend of retail therapy and exquisite cuisine at Pazzion Café in Takashimaya (#B1-39/40). It’s the perfect leisurely lunch spot for catching up with friends or indulging in a well-deserved break from the daily grind – and the set menu (available for a limited time) is great value at $13.90. Choose from the tender Chicken Katsu with teriyaki sauce or the savoury Pork Katsu with signature tonkatsu sauce, both served with Japanese rice, shimeji mushroom tempura and green and purple cabbage drizzled with sesame dressing, and paired with hot or iced green tea. You’ll feel transported straight to the streets of Japan!
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
Japan’s much-loved patisserie has opened its first unmanned store in Singapore, with Châteraisé’s desserts now available around the clock in Le Quest Shopping Mall in Bukit Batok. Simply download the app and register to self-checkout your favourite pastries any time of day, from madeleines and cookies, to eclairs, mochi cream cakes, warabi mochi and ice pops. Exclusive to this outpost will be a handful of new additions like Cookie Cream Puffs in custard and Belgian chocolate, as well as Double Fantasy Sweet Potato Puffs (known as yakiimo in Japan).
Cocktail Culture
Studio 1939, the decadent speakeasy-style drinking den tucked away on the third floor of Potato Head Singapore in Keong Saik, has rolled out 12 fabulous new cocktails to celebrate its tenth anniversary this year. Expect a unique mix of spices, teas, fruit and umami, with the signature concoctions drawing inspiration from culinary ingredients and techniques more often found on a plate than in a glass. Feeling daring? Choose “Your Song” and the bartenders will whip up a tipple especially for you.

Get Your Groove On
Looking for a fun ladies’ night out? Dig out that LBD and head to Burma Social’s Secret Lounge in Tanjong Pagar (34 Tras Street) for free-flow prosecco every Wednesday, 9pm to 1am. Gotti Italiano in Chinatown (78 Amoy Street) is another favourite for a girls’ night vibe, with seductive burlesque performances from 9.45pm, DJ beats from 9pm to midnight, and free-flow Moët spritzes with Ollie grapefruit seltzers from 10pm to 11pm every Wednesday
Vintage Vibes
If vinyl records, vintage sound systems and soulful music are your thing, add Waxy Wednesdays to your diary. Little Island Brewing Company at Gillman Barracks has unveiled Singapore’s first vintage vinyl bar, featuring iconic Altec Lansing A5-X Speakers from the 1950s paired with a legendary Technics MK5G turntable – and it’ll be filling the air with retro music every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm. No sterile shuffles here! Sip on locally brewed craft beer and tuck into a menu of slow-cooked meats, grills and wood-fired sourdough pizzas, including an exclusive vinyl charcoal pizza made from slow-fermented kombucha dough. Bring the family too, as there’s mini-Vespa scooter rides, an old-school playground and a bouncy castle.
