PUBLISHED February 27th, 2019 06:00 am | UPDATED April 16th, 2019 04:58 pm

This week, we’re wrapping up February with five new additions to our ever-growing list of things to eat in Singapore. New menus at Summerlong and Opus Grill aside, look forward to Min Jiang’s dim sum lunch offerings or unwind with some classic cinema at Lulu’s Lounge.

Min Jiang’s Dim Sum Set Lunch

Skip breakfast for a day and go big on Min Jiang’s affordable weekday dim sum set lunch from now till 26 April 2019. For $36++ for two on Mondays to Fridays, grab a buddy and dine on Cantonese and Sichuan favourites like Crispy Vegetable Spring Rolls and Pan-Fried Carrot Cake, washed down with endless servings of Chinese tea. If you’re still looking to buff your meal up, soups and noodle additions are available from an additional $8++. While an afternoon food coma might not be the best idea if you have a meeting at 3, but can you really pass up an opportunity for value-for-money Steamed BBQ Pork Buns and Chilled Mango Sago?

Min Jiang is located at Goodwood Park Hotel, 22 Scotts Road, Singapore 228221, p. +65 6730 1704. The set lunch is available from 11.30am — 2.30pm from Mondays to Fridays, from 4 March to 26 April 2019.

Summerlong’s New Menu

If you’ve already indulged yourself through our guide to Robertson Quay, Summerlong may be due for a revisit. Their latest Mediterranean-inspired menu is perfect for families to share. Whet your appetite with Cold Mezzes like their Market Ceviche ($19), or add some turf to your surf with an Israeli Lamb Pita ($19). Get turnt on Barbecued Seafood with selections like the Whole Squid ($28) that comes with a delectable sauce selection, or the Alaskan King Crab ($75 for 300g) that will have you smiling all summer(long).

Summerlong is located at 60 Robertson Quay #01-04 Singapore 238252, p.+ 65 6235 1225. Opens from 5.30pm — 12am from Monday to Friday, and 10.30pm — 3pm, 6pm — 12am on Saturdays and Sundays.

Classic Film Night at Lulu’s Lounge

Lulu’s has started bringing cult films back to life every Thursday night, with the James Bond classic Octopussy kicking things off. For $35,  treat yourself to a burger, fries, and a glass of wine – vegan options available too! Enjoy a bespoke cocktail by the bar by hosts Julyan Phillips and Tertius Wharton and enjoy mid-movie vocal magic by Kate Aguila. The post-movie party takes you to the dance floor with DJ Max Verrier and Matteblacc’s DJ JNR, and none other than Kaye from Darker Than Wax jazzing things up on his sax.

Poulet x Chef Justin Quek

Fancy something French? Poulet is plating up its new collaboration menu with homegrown celebrity chef Justin Quek in efforts to bring French dining to the masses. Adding his touch of Franco-Asian expertise to the mix, new dishes include wine-steamed seabass in a buttery white sauce in En Papillotes Baked Seabass ($15.90), tender grain-fed Rossini Angus Beef Steak ($28.90) and bittersweet Crème Chantilly Bitter Chocolate Tart ($8.90). The exclusive menu rolls out at four select locations islandwide, and will only be available for a limited time, so don’t miss out.

New Menu at Opus Bar And Grill

Good news for the carnivores — Opus Bar and Grill at Hilton Singapore is ringing in its fourth birthday with a smacking new menu right as March rolls around. And with any order of a sharing steak (from $128++) like their signature 1kg dry-aged US Black Angus bone-in ribeye or the 1kg whisky-aged F1 Wagyu Tomahawk, diners will get a free bottle of premium red wine worth $90++. Prefer seafood? Not a problem. They’ve added new (sustainably-caught) menu items like the Seared Atlantic scallops and New Zealand Rockling Fish, grilled over open flames and Jarrah wood for an intense, smoky finish.

Opus Bar and Grill is located at Lobby Level, Hilton Singapore, 581 Orchard Road Singapore 238883, p.+ 65 6730 3390. Opening hours are 6.30pm — 10.30pm from Monday to Sunday. Bar opening hours are 10am — 12am from Monday to Friday.
