Celebrate hygge with a Nordic Brunch

Inspired by the culinary philosophy from the wintery Northern European regions, Ash & Elm has added Nordic cuisine to their Sunday Champagne Brunch (S$98++). Renowned for its fresh, locally grown ingredients and preservation techniques, yet relatively unknown here, Chef Eric Neo aims to raise awareness and enhance food diversity at the same time. As Singapore’s first Nordic-Asia Culinary Ambassador, Chef Neo is personally heading up this Nordic Sunday Champagne Brunch. Highlights from the menu include the Blood Sausage & Cheese Pizza, Beetroot and Gin Cured Salmon with Pickled Cucumber, and Meatballs, served with tender potato, creamy brown jus, and cranberry preserves.

Ash & Elm’s Nordic Sunday Brunch is available every Sunday from 6 October to 29 December 2019, 12pm – 3pm, at Ash & Elm, Level 1, InterContinental Singapore, 80 Middle Road, Singapore 188966, p. +65 6825 1061.

HANS IM GLÜCK’s New Ex-Ten-sive Menu

In celebration of its third year anniversary in Singapore, German burger-grill HANS IM GLÜCK has introduced a refreshed menu of ten new burgers, including two new vegan burgers with a plant-based patty and vegan cheese. Be spoilt for choice with options like the KRAFTPAKET (S$17++), a simple and delectable burger with a juicy beef patty enveloped in a black pepper crust topped with strips of crispy bacon and a sunny-side up egg, or the LANDGOCKEL (S$17++), which marries the earthy flavours of mushrooms with grilled tender chicken breast.

HANS IM GLÜCK can be found at four locations islandwide.

Pizzas Just Got Personal With PizzaExpress

Craving for pizza but can’t finish the whole pie? You’re in luck, because PizzaExpress has designed a new 7″ personal pizza (S$8.56) that’s available exclusively on Deliveroo, perfect for a meal on a busy day. The mouth-watering mini pizzas come in three classic flavours – La Reine (ham & mushroom), American (pepperoni), and customisable Margherita.

PizzaExpress is available at six locations islandwide, and it is also available on Deliveroo.
