(CLOSED)Big Lazy Chop @ Short Street (Selegie)

Six months old Big Lazy Chop might not be situated at the most easily located or eye-catching spot but it is actually pretty near town. It's just a short walk away from the famous Rochor Beancurd at Selegie. There's ample parking in the compound and the 90-seater has both an alfresco and air-conditioned area. At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Oh, who has more than 37 years of experience whipping up palate-pleasing fare. He has come up with around 30 sauces that diners can pair with meat or seafood options. The Salted Egg Yolk XL Spare Ribs ($20) is one of the most popular items here and I urge you to give these gigantic ribs a go!

Lobsterfest at Lime(PARKROYAL on Pickering) - Free Flow Lobsters!

The highly anticipated Lobsterfest is back! In conjunction with SG50 last year, Lime dressed their Maine lobsters in more local flavours. This year, diners can look forward to a wider variety of Western-style lobsters. In addition to their usual spread of fresh seafood on ice, sashimi, Peranakan selection and dessert range, Lobsterfest brings you 10 droolworthy Maine lobster dishes.

(CLOSED)Senate Coffee @ Great Eastern Centre (Pickering Street)

The folks behind Populus have struck with their second venture. Located within FIVE Square at the Great Eastern Centre is Senate Coffee, a specialty coffee kiosk that serves up healthy grain bowls and nutrient bowls. If you've tried the grain bowls at Populus and are a fan, you'll be pleased to know that you can get them here too! A darker roast is served at Senate Coffee so do expect a nuttier and less acidic cuppa.

Brotzeit Celebrates 10th Anniversary with German Heritage Beers @ 313 Somerset

We were treated to a cafe-hopping trail as a sneak preview of what can be expected at the highly anticipated event. More than 100 exhibitors will be on site, bringing you the best of coffee and lab sessions at the four-day event at the F1 Pit Building. 

(CLOSED)Mo'mor Izakaya by W. Martin @ Tanglin Post Office (Tanglin Road)

Helmed by industry veteran Chef Martin Woo, Mo'mor Izakaya commands an eye-catching spot at the Tanglin Post Office, on street level. The contemporary izakaya house pushes out Japanese fare with a European flair in a charming setting and the oysters and Wagyu beef here have generated quite a buzz. The Matsusaka Wagyu Striploin ($9 per 10g) was unbelievably tender and melted gloriously as I savoured it oh-so-slowly. The flavour, the texture, just sublime.
