With its floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll relish the glowing sunset as you dine over the bustling Telok Ayer at QĪN Restaurant & Bar.
Chef Maksym works his Asian flair in the four (S$148++) and six course (S$198++) dinner menu in dishes like the exquisite Tom Yum served with binchotan-grilled Danish Langoustine, and the milky ‘Xing Ren Dou Fu‘ with white asparagus mousse infused with almonds.
The aged-Quail, prepared two ways, features quail breast served in a Szechuan pepper sauce, and deboned quail legs glazed with kecap manis. For dessert, we enjoyed the Ice-kachang with rhubarb and mascarpone, with ice shaved right in front of you. Make sure to reach for the wine pairing program!

We know Dal.Komm for its coffee and cafe offerings; and now the Korean brand has expanded its menu to bring a selection of Korean-inspired delights and cocktails to its new outlet, Dal.Komm Playground.
Dig into their Signature Seafood Kimchi Ramyun Soup (S$39.90++ good for 3-4 persons) and the Beef Bulgogi Sandwich with Chips (S$18.90++) but don’t miss the yummy hwachae-inspired Strawberry Makgeolli Bingsu (S$38++).
Best of all, enjoy the all-day happy hour, for soju and cocktails like Tiramisu Martini Espresso (S$12++ happy hour) in their limited-time opening promotion.
Godmama Goes to the East
Telling more stories through food, Chef Federic Goh brings modern Peranakan cuisine to the east, with Godmama’s second outlet at Parkway Parade.
Find traditional dishes like the Peranakan “Birthday Noodles” with the Crayfish Nonya Mee, infused with an aromatic and umami-rich pork, chicken, and prawns broth, and a modern take of assam in the Ikan Masak Nanas with grilled barramundi served in a tamarind and pineapple sauce.
We’d give their weekend brunch a go, because the chef gets creative with dishes like Buah Keluak Bolognese Pasta and the Eurasian Devil Curry with Baguette.
Fiamma A Homely Italian Experience at Fiamma
Embodying the warmth of Italian familial dinners, Fiamma at Capella Singapore, extends its welcome in an approachable four-course weekday dinner. At S$48++ per person (min 2pax to dine), start with a light and bright Artichoke and Asparagus salad before choosing between the Trofie al Pesto or Sedanini Cacio e Pepe pasta.
Dive into the thin-crust Margherita Pizza and round up with an indulgent Tiramisu. Online reservations only.
