Sentosa’s Social Brewery
A new brewery has opened at Resorts World Sentosa, bringing tank-to-tap beer and wood-fired cooking. People People Brewing Co. is set up as both a working brewery and social space, with beers brewed on-site and poured fresh from five tanks, covering easy-drinking lagers, IPAs, sours and small-batch releases, overseen by award-winning brewer Nick Calder-Scholes. The food follows a relaxed, shareable approach – think sourdough pizzas, rotisserie chicken, burgers and bar bites. There’s direct access too, meaning no Sentosa entry fee.
New-School Deli
After six years of pop-ups, Between Buns Deli has opened its first permanent space at SBF Centre on Robinson Road. Founded by Ahmir Arshad and backed by PleasureCraft Group, the concept brings a “new-school” take on the deli to the CBD. The menu centres on its well-known sandwiches, including a fried chicken sandwich, a toasted oxtail melt and a French dip hoagie, alongside breakfast muffins, salads and a small line-up of bakes and desserts. Bread plays a key role, with sourdough, brioche, schiacciata and other options selected to match each filling.
25 Years at the Top
Two-Michelin-starred Saint Pierre is marking its 25th anniversary this year, celebrating a legacy shaped by refined technique and ChefOwner Emmanuel Stroobant’s contemporary French cuisine with Asian influences. Since opening in 2000, the restaurant has evolved from its original Central Mall location to its current home at One Fullerton, where it overlooks Marina Bay. To mark this milestone, Saint Pierre is revisiting one of its early signatures for a limited time; the Pan-Fried Foie Gras ($188), served as a whole 300-400g portion. Alongside this, a special four-course dinner menu is available from Tuesdays to Thursdays this month ($288 per person).
More Than a Wine Cellar
Bacchic Wine Boutique on Keong Saik Road focuses on European vintages, but it’s not just about browsing and buying. The space is set up for experience-led drinking, with intimate events pairing wine with music, conversation and curated moments – such as a dedicated listening room, where guests can play vinyl selected to complement the wines being poured. The design is by Singapore-based studio Tsukurto, and includes a main room shaped to echo the curves of a wine bottle. A wine-by-the-glass programme has recently launched, offering a more accessible way to explore the collection.
The Art of the Warm Sandwich
PAUL Le Café at 8 Robinson Road introduces a new line-up of warm sandwiches, made to order for the CBD lunch crowd. Priced at $8.90, the range includes classics like Turkey Ham and Brie, Chicken and Cheddar, and a hearty Beef Steak with caramelised onions, alongside options such as Smoked Duck with camembert and a Mushroom Truffle for vegetarians. Each sandwich can be finished with a choice of house-made sauces, from porcini cream to honey mustard. Just add a cup of PAUL’s signature French coffee blend!
A Different Kind of Latte
If you’re after something a little different from your usual coffee run, Starbucks’ Purple Sweet Potato range is worth a look. The Purple Sweet Potato Latte blends the earthy sweetness of the root with signature espresso, while the Purple Sweet Potato Oolong Tea Latte offers a lighter, more fragrant option – both finished with chewy mochi bits.
