Of course, don’t hesitate to top up for some of their six-hour hand-stirred Hainanese kaya of a gleaming golden hue. For an even heartier option, how about a Poached Egg and Avocado on Sourdough Toast with dukkah and feta – perfect with a cuppa from Jimmy Monkey coffee?

Summerlong Unveils Their Latest Cocktail Menu
Touted as a city beach café and bar, Robertson Quay’s Summerlong has long been emphasising their light, refreshing cocktails, and now we’re looking at a wide selection of new concoctions. First up is Punch of the 300 ($20++), a rum-based punch with hints of bergamot, spices, pomegranate, and the bar’s signature Greek tea. There’s the Apple Tree ($21++), another addition that brings forth the spirit of apples with a hit of cinnamon and a blend of scotch whisky and Angostura bitters. For the perfect after-dinner drink? The spirit-forward Trojan Finale ($17++) has you covered with smooth coffee liqueur, bourbon, vermouth rosso, and a complementary dusting of salted pistachio.

Fat Prince Brightens Up Spring with Seasonal Offerings
Singapore’s gourmet kebabery, Fat Prince, has brought fresh seasonal flavours to its menu, incorporating tantalising ingredients to bring you Middle Eastern creations like the fiery Smoked Pepper Squid with its harissa, curry leaf, and chilli kick, and a refreshing 8 Hour Salad that comprises vegetables (squash confit and mixed greens) from regional farms located within an eight-hour radius. If you must try only one, order the Moroccan Bouillabaisse, a classic pot of plentiful squid, prawns, fish, and mussels matched with a rich fragrant broth.

Fat Cow Launches Chef’s Table Omakase Experience
This award-winning modern Japanese restaurant, best known for serving only the finest wagyu meat, is introducing two new menus to its Omakase category, bringing the total number to four! The lead-in category, Akatsuki (lunch) and Omomuki (Dinner) offers 12 and 16 courses while the premium category, Sumire (lunch), and Nagoyaka (dinner) offers 16 and 20 courses respectively. For the latter, you’ll even get to sample the premium wagyu sumibiyaki, as Head Chef Shigeru Kasajima selects the very best wagyu for your gastronomical menu. Every omakase meal starts with a deceptively simple amuse bouche trio and continues with everything from sushi and seasonal sashimi to charcoal grilled vegetables and meats.
