Sundae Royale @ Resorts World Sentosa - Chef Paul Pairet’s Nostalgic Playground for Artisanal Soft-Serve

Located right next door to Moutarde at Weave, Resorts World Sentosa, Sundae Royale is the latest venture by the acclaimed Chef Paul Pairet. Stepping into this space feels like revisiting a childhood dream, but with a decidedly premium and sophisticated twist. It is a playground dedicated to soft-serve ice cream and sweets, where nostalgic flavours are elevated through Chef Paul’s signature precision and original recipes.

All the mixes here are freshly homemade, reflecting a meticulous approach to both popular classics and the chef's own personal favourites. Whether you are looking for a quick icy treat or a sit-down dessert experience, Sundae Royale brings a unique, world-class craft to Singapore’s dessert scene.

The menu unfolds into several distinct lines: Simple Sundaes, Sundaes Liégeois (topped with homemade Chantilly), and the texture-heavy Sundaes Crunch. Every cup is freshly churned to ensure the perfect balance of smooth texture and bold flavour.

A few standouts include the Caramel-Butter-Soy Ice Cream, which offers a sophisticated savoury-sweet depth, and the Pistachio-Cherry Sundae, which provides a classic nutty and tart combination. For those who prefer something fruitier, the Mango-Raspberry Melba and Strawberry Trifle are vibrant and refreshing. Chocolate lovers shouldn't miss the Chocolate Liégeois, featuring a rich cocoa base topped with that luscious, airy Chantilly cream. It is a rare opportunity to experience an archetypal childhood favourite elegantly crafted with such culinary finesse.

Made fresh at the service counter, the Warm Churros are a must-try. Dusted lightly with sugar, they are served alongside a mini ice cream. The contrast between the hot, doughy pastry and the cold, melting soft-serve delivers the ultimate comfort hug. It’s a simple pleasure executed with high-level consistency. For those seeking a hint of the classic French café experience, Sundae Royale also offers an assortment of homemade pastries and viennoiseries. Paired with their classic line of coffees, it makes for a delightful afternoon pitstop in the heart of the city.

Overall, Sundae Royale is a polished addition to the neighbourhood, offering a playful yet high-quality take on soft-serve that will appeal to both kids and adults alike.

Karii @ Suntec City - Singapore’s First Okinawan Street Food Concept by EN Group

Karii かりー! That's how Okinawans say cheers in their dialect, where "karii" (kanji: 嘉例) translates to happiness. It is a fitting name for the newest opening by the established Japanese F&B veteran EN Group at Suntec City. Opening its doors on 4 February 2026, the eatery aims to set a trend of joy and long life through the vibrant, coastal flavours of Okinawa. Touted as Singapore's first Okinawan street food concept, the space is modern and warm, featuring lightwood finishes and subtle bingata patterns. Overlooking the Fountain Court, the menu spans from taco rice and Okinawa-style sandos to hearty bowls, all crafted for quick, quality enjoyment.

Mozuku Tempura 2.5/5

We started with the Mozuku Tempura ($2.80), which is fried Okinawa seaweed. Unfortunately, preparing it this way did not do the ingredient justice. I couldn't really taste the delicate seaweed; instead, it was dominated by the crispy batter. It's perhaps not the best way to showcase this unique island speciality.

Jimami Tofu 3/5

The Jimami Tofu ($2.80) is a traditional Okinawan peanut tofu. I must admit I am not a big fan of this dish as the texture is quite a departure from typical soybean tofu. Because it is made from peanuts, it has a more stretchy, chewy, and pudding-like consistency that might be an acquired taste for some.

Okinawa-Style Taco Rice 3/5

A quintessential island dish, the Okinawa-Style Taco Rice features seasoned minced meat, cheese, arugula, cabbage, and cherry tomatoes over rice. You can choose between Hokkaido Pork ($6.80) or Beef ($7.80). For those watching their intake, there is a no-carb option where the rice is replaced with extra greens. You can also customise your bowl with add-ons like Goya Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken, or Rafute.

Okinawa Soba 3/5

The Okinawa Soba ($8.80 Small / $13.80 Large) features rafute (braised pork belly), beni shoga, and chikuwa in a Japanese paitan tonjiru broth. While the small portion comes with two pieces of succulent pork and the large with four, the dish overall felt a little different from the authentic bowls I've had during my trips to Okinawa. It's a comforting bowl, but it didn't quite hit that nostalgic note for me.

Mentai Ebi Onigiri 4/5

The highlight of the meal was the Mentai Ebi Onigiri ($9.50 Ala carte / $13.00 Dine-in Set). This hefty sandwich-style onigiri features a fried tiger prawn drizzled with mentaiko mayo, layered with spam, dashimaki (Okinawan egg), and mayonnaise wrapped in Japanese seaweed. If you dine in, the set is quite value-for-money, coming with white miso soup, mozuku su, and two appetisers of the day.

Goya Shikuwasa Honey 4.2/5

For a refreshing thirst-quencher, the Goya Shikuwasa Honey ($6.80) is a must-try. It combines bitter gourd, shikuwasa juice, honey, and soda. Don't be put off by the bitter gourd; the bitterness is very subtle and balances well with the tart citrus and sweet honey. It is an incredibly refreshing choice for a hot afternoon.

Okinawa Donuts 3/5

To end on a sweet note, we tried the Okinawa Donuts (3 for $2.50). These come in three flavours: Original, Okinawan Brown Sugar, and Purple Sweet Potato. Unlike the soft, doughy donuts we are used to, these are traditionally crumbly and dense.

Overall, Karii offers a fun and accessible introduction to Okinawan culture in the heart of the city. While some dishes lean towards a more localised palate, the onigiri and refreshing drinks make it a great spot for a quick, casual meal.
