People People Brewing Co. @ Resorts World Sentosa - Microbrewery Serving Premium Lagers & IPAs with Casual Food, Sport & Live Music

People People Brewing Co. debuted at Resorts World Sentosa in April 2026. After months of preparation, the brewery is now ready to introduce Batch 001 alongside a full food menu designed to complement its beers. Led by Head Brewer Nick Calder-Scholes, who was named Australian Brewer of the Year in 2024, this marks the beginning of People People Brewing Co.’s in-house tank-to-tap beer programme. The gastropub has a dedicated 2,000 sq ft production space, which enables the brewery to have greater control over the development of seasonal releases, limited-edition pours and collaborative brews.

The current line-up comprises PPBC Lager, Poolside Pils, XPA, California IPA, Oatmeal Stout and the seasonal Passionfruit & Dragonfruit Fruited Sour ($13–18). We had a Beer Flight ($20) to sample the full range.

Specialty Beer Cocktails

For something other than a pint, there are also Specialty Beer Cocktails, in which we tried The People’s Pynt ($24) and Hop, Drop & Roll ($22). The latter, made with brown butter rum, IPA and honey, was full-bodied and bittersweet, with a rounded richness from the brown butter rum.

Salt and Pepper Squid 4.5/5

Complementing the beers is a menu centred around wood-fired sourdough pizzas, rotisserie chicken, burgers and bar bites. We started with the Salt and Pepper Squid ($18), which was moreish with a golden crust and a good bite.

Swordfish Tacos 3/5

The Swordfish Tacos ($18), featuring spiced swordfish topped with mango pico de gallo, came in soft taco shells, which I enjoyed, though the filling was somewhat underwhelming.

Spent Grain Crackers, Beer Nuts

For lighter bites, Beer Nuts ($5) and Spent Grain Crackers ($5) were straightforward accompaniments to the beers. The crackers offered a satisfying crunch, while the nuts were surprisingly bland and lacked the crunch I was expecting.

Signature Rotisserie Chicken 4.2/5

The mains are very much wood-fired focused, with an open kitchen allowing diners to appreciate the cooking process. The Signature Rotisserie Chicken comes in lemon thyme, peri peri, jerk or soya flavours, with a choice of fries or rice. We tried the Peri Peri version in a half portion ($30), which was succulent and moist, although I was expecting greater depth of smoky flavour. The fries, however, were a highlight, with a perfectly crisp exterior giving way to a fluffy core.

IMG_1854
Blackmores’ Giant Burger 4.2/5

The Blackmores’ Giant Burger ($58) was a sight to behold, with a short rib stacked over double beef patties and topped with fried onion rings, all held together by soft and fluffy potato buns. The short rib had an enticing caramelised, charred exterior, with meat that fell off the bone with the slightest tug. Made with 100% Wagyu, the patties were flavourful, although they could have been juicier. While the individual components were delicious on their own, the burger would have benefited from some acidity or freshness, perhaps by adding gherkins and caramelised onions, to cut through the richness and make the overall combination more rounded.

IMG_1918
Pulled Pork Sanger 3/5

For pizza, we had the Pulled Pork Sanger ($32), made with slow-pulled pork, chipotle, mozzarella and jalapeƱo. The sourdough base delivered an enjoyable bite, but the combination of flavours felt somewhat overloaded.

IMG_1950
‘Berry Tart’ Sundae 4/5

IMG_1953
Tiramisu 4/5

For dessert, the ‘Berry Tart’ Sundae ($14) stood out with a pairing of a fruity, tangy berry vanilla swirl sundae with an equally delectable blueberry tart, while the Tiramisu was enjoyable, with bittersweet sponge balanced by a light mascarpone cream.

To gain a more in-depth experience of this local brewery, daily brewery tours led personally by Nick are available for S$68 per person, with a minimum booking of 4 guests.

To celebrate its official debut, People People Brewing Co. will hold an exclusive First Pour for its Founding Members on 13 August, followed by a public celebration on 14 August, when Batch 001 will be available at S$5 per pour throughout the day.

Kai Duck @ Takashimaya - Celebrates SG61 With 50% Off Roasted Duck Cheong Fun & $18.80 Lunch Set

KaiDuckAug26-24

This August, Kai Duck at Takashimaya celebrates Singapore’s 61st birthday with a series of irresistible dining deals. From 50% off its viral Half Roasted Duck Cheong Fun to 61% off selected signature dishes and an affordable $18.80 lunch promotion, there are plenty of reasons to head down for a satisfying Cantonese feast this National Day month.

BBQ Pork with Homemade Sauce 4/5

Available daily with prior reservation, the Kai Duck Lunch Promotion offers diners a choice of four dishes from a selection of ten, making it a fuss-free option for a casual lunch with family or friends. The set also comes complete with steamed rice, dessert of the day and ice cream.

Among the dishes we tried was the BBQ Pork with Homemade Sauce. At first glance, the char siu appears rather fatty, but it surprisingly does not feel greasy. The meat has a pleasant tenderness, while the homemade sauce strikes a good balance with a savoury-sweet profile without becoming overly saccharine. The sauce works particularly well with the richness of the pork, cutting through the fattiness and keeping each bite moreish. It is the kind of dish that makes you go back for another piece without feeling too heavy.

Poached Chinese Spinach with Fish Beancurd served in Rice Broth 4/5

The Poached Chinese Spinach with Fish Beancurd served in Rice Broth was a comforting and clean-tasting dish that provided a nice contrast to the richer meats. The Chinese spinach retained a good crunch and freshness, while the delicate rice broth added a gentle savouriness without overpowering the vegetables. The fish beancurd brought a soft, bouncy texture to the dish, making it a hearty yet relatively light accompaniment to the meal.

Steamed Xiao Long Bao with Black Truffle Sauce 3.8/5

For something a little more indulgent, we had the Steamed Xiao Long Bao with Black Truffle Sauce. The dumplings arrive plump and generously filled, with juicy pork encased within the delicate skin. The black truffle sauce lends a distinct earthy aroma and richer finish to the dumpling. While the combination is enjoyable and certainly gives the classic xiao long bao a more luxurious touch, I personally prefer the natural porky flavours of the dumpling, where the savoury meat juices take centre stage.

Half Roasted Duck Cheong Fun 4.5/5

The viral Roasted Duck Cheong Fun from Guangzhou has been making waves for its indulgent combination of silky rice noodles and succulent roasted duck, and Kai Duck has brought its own rendition to Singapore. The roasted duck itself brings the essential richness to the dish, with tender meat and a fragrant roasted flavour that pairs beautifully with the smooth, delicate cheong fun. The contrast of textures makes this particularly enjoyable, with the silky rice noodles providing a soft base for the more substantial roasted duck.

For Singapore’s 61st birthday, Kai Duck is offering 50% off the Half Roasted Duck Cheong Fun at $18.80, U.P. $38, with a minimum spend of $88. It is also available as one of the selected dishes under the $18.80 Lunch Promotion, although diners will receive a smaller portion rather than the full half-duck serving.

Beyond the Half Roasted Duck Cheong Fun promotion, Kai Duck is also marking SG61 with 61% off selected signature dishes, including its Signature Peking Duck, giving diners even more reason to gather for a celebratory meal. With its mix of approachable lunch set and more indulgent signatures, Kai Duck’s SG61 promotions offer something for both casual weekday lunches and celebratory gatherings. The Half Roasted Duck Cheong Fun is the standout for us, especially at the promotional price, while the $18.80 lunch promotion makes it easy to sample several dishes without breaking the bank.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
