Milli Sky Dining & Bar @ National Gallery - Unveils Tingkat Afternoon Tea and National Day Specials

MilliAfternoonTea59

Perched high above the city, Milli Sky Dining & Bar will be launching an Afternoon Tea experience from 10 August 2026, alongside a pair of National Day specials that weave in familiar local flavours. Staying true to its sky-high setting, the new Tingkat Teatime takes on a nostalgic yet elevated approach, presenting a four-tier selection inspired by Singapore’s culinary heritage.

Served in a traditional four-tier tingkat carrier, the Teatime Set ($68 per pax) offers a thoughtful progression of savoury and sweet bites. The first tier sets the tone with a duo of Popiah Tartlet and Otak Toast. The popiah tartlet cleverly reimagines the classic fresh spring roll into a crisp, bite-sized shell filled with familiar flavours. At the same time, the otak toast delivers a punch of spice and aromatics atop a crisp base, making it a comforting yet playful start.

Moving on to the second tier, the White Pepper Crab Spring Roll stands out with its light, crispy exterior encasing a filling that carries the signature warmth of white pepper. The seasoning is well-balanced, allowing the crab’s natural sweetness to shine while adding just enough heat to keep things interesting.

The third tier features a local staple — Chicken Rice with Roasted Chicken. During our visit, it was served as a chicken rice ball, offering a compact and convenient take on the beloved dish. The rice was fragrant and well-seasoned, while the roasted chicken retained a tender bite with a lightly crisped skin. While the presentation may vary, the essence of the dish remains rooted in its comforting familiarity.

Rounding off the experience is the fourth tier, an Assortment of Traditional Kuehs. Expect a medley of textures and flavours, from soft and chewy to lightly sweet, providing a nostalgic finish that ties back to Singapore’s rich heritage of local desserts.

MilliAfternoonTea67
Ayam Penyet Buah Keluak

In celebration of National Day, Milli presents the Ayam Penyet Buah Keluak ($22), a hearty dish that brings together Malay and Peranakan influences. The whole fried chicken leg is crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy within. What elevates the dish is the buah keluak element, lending a deep, earthy richness that complements the aromatic spices. Served with fragrant steamed white rice, achar, and sambal, it is a well-rounded plate that satisfies both in flavour and portion size. The sambal adds a spicy kick, while the achar provides a refreshing contrast, making it a complete and satisfying meal.

Completing the National Day offerings is the Red and White Milli ($26), a visually striking cocktail inspired by the colours of the Singapore flag. Built on a Gin & Tonic base, it incorporates local flavours through a pandan-coconut foam, adding a fragrant and slightly creamy dimension to the drink. Finished with an orchid garnish, the cocktail is light, refreshing, and fittingly celebratory.

Milli Sky Dining & Bar’s new offerings blend nostalgia and creativity, presenting familiar local flavours in a refreshed format. The Tingkat Teatime is particularly appealing to those seeking a unique afternoon experience with a local twist, while the National Day specials add a timely, festive touch. Whether you’re looking to indulge in a leisurely teatime above the city or celebrate Singapore’s culinary heritage with a modern spin, Milli offers a compelling reason to visit this August.

Mui Kee @ Raffles City - Opens Second Outlet with New Dishes and Nostalgic Hong Kong Vibes

MuiKee17

Famed for its comforting bowls of silky congee, Mui Kee has opened its second outlet at Raffles City Shopping Centre, bringing with it more than 20 new and exclusive dishes alongside its well-loved signatures. Stepping into the space feels like a quick trip back in time — the relaxed, open-concept dining room is decked out with cosy booth seating, maroon subway tiles, retro lightboxes, and the brand’s signature mahjong tile feature wall. The ambience channels the bustling charm of mid-century Hong Kong, but in a modern, fuss-free setting that invites diners to linger.

MuiKee2
Preserved Bitter Gourd 4/5

We began our meal with the Preserved Bitter Gourd ($9.80), a dish that pleasantly surprised. For those who typically shy away from bitter gourd, this rendition is a revelation. The preservation process significantly mellows the inherent bitterness, leaving a gentle, almost tangy profile. What stood out most was its crunch — each bite delivered a refreshing, crisp texture that made it unexpectedly addictive.

MuiKee6
Handcrafted Wantons in Fragrant Chilli Oil, Garlic & Vinegar 3.8/5

Next came the Handcrafted Wantons in Fragrant Chilli Oil, Garlic & Vinegar ($11.80). At first glance, the dish appeared deceptively mild, lacking the fiery red hue one might expect. However, it quickly proved otherwise. The chilli oil carried a fragrant heat that built gradually, complemented by the sharpness of vinegar and the savoury depth of garlic. The wantons themselves were well-executed — thin-skinned, delicately wrapped, and filled with a juicy prawn and pork mixture that burst with flavour.

MuiKee11
Signature Braised Beef Brisket & Tendons with White Radish 3.8/5

The Signature Braised Beef Brisket & Tendons with White Radish ($31.80) showcased hearty, comforting flavours. The brisket and tendons were braised until tender, absorbing the rich, savoury sauce beautifully. The white radish, soft and porous, acted like a sponge, soaking up the robust braising liquid. While the dish delivered on flavour and texture, the portion size felt slightly modest for its price point.

MuiKee19
Shredded Duck & Preserved Vegetables Cheong Fun 4.2/5

A highlight from the new offerings was the Shredded Duck & Preserved Vegetables Cheong Fun ($9.20). This inventive combination brought together roasted shredded duck and preserved vegetables wrapped in silky cheong fun sheets, finished with a drizzle of savoury sauce. Initially an unconventional pairing, it turned out to be a harmonious one — the richness of the duck balanced by the slight tang and crunch of the preserved vegetables, all encased in soft, smooth rice rolls.

MuiKee22

MuiKee27
Housemade Pork Meatballs Congee 4.2/5

Of course, no visit to Mui Kee is complete without its signature congee. The Housemade Pork Meatballs Congee ($12.90) delivered exactly what the brand is known for — a bowl of velvety, smooth rice porridge with a consistency that borders on creamy. The pork meatballs were tender and well-seasoned, making this a comforting, hearty dish that warms both the stomach and soul.

MuiKee30

MuiKee34
Shrimp Roe with Mushroom Noodles 3/5

The Shrimp Roe with Mushroom Noodles ($13.80) highlighted the hallmark springy texture of Hong Kong-style noodles, cooked to that signature QQ bite. While the noodles themselves were commendable, the shrimp roe flavour leaned on the subtler side and didn’t quite leave a strong impression. That said, the mushrooms added a juicy, umami richness that helped lift the overall dish.

MuiKee38
Grass Jelly with Longan 4/5

Ending on a sweet note, the desserts proved to be more than just an afterthought. The Grass Jelly with Longan ($5.50) was light, cooling, and refreshing — perfect after a hearty meal. Even more impressive was the Tau Suan ($5.50), a traditional mung bean dessert elevated by fragrant tangerine peel. It struck a comforting balance of sweetness and depth, making it a standout and a must-order.

MuiKee44
Tau Suan 4.5/5

Mui Kee’s newest outlet successfully blends nostalgia with innovation, offering its classic favourites alongside an expanded menu featuring fresh interpretations of Hong Kong comfort food. Whether you’re here for a hearty bowl of congee or to explore its new dishes, it’s a spot that delivers warmth, flavour, and a touch of old-school charm.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Bibim Deli @ JEM - DIY Bibimbap Gets an Upgrade at Bibim Deli JEM with Celebrity Chef Collaborations

BibimDeli-4

Following the success of its debut at Suntec City, Bibim Deli expands west with its second outlet at JEM, bringing along an exciting collaboration with chefs from Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars. Helmed by Season 1’s Chef Min Yohan, the concept now welcomes Season 2’s Chef Woo Jung-wook — affectionately known as “Seoul Mum” — to introduce a lineup of exclusive dishes alongside a brand-new Tteokbokki station available only at this Jurong East outlet.

BibimDeli-2

BibimDeli-7

Staying true to its roots, Bibim Deli continues to champion its self-DIY bibimbap experience, set within a clean, minimalist space inspired by traditional hanok aesthetics. The concept is straightforward yet engaging. Diners begin by selecting a bowl and portioning their desired amount of rice before moving along a vibrant spread of banchan, proteins, and vegetables. With over 1,000 rotational recipes curated by Chef Min Yohan, the variety is both impressive and ever-evolving, ensuring that no two visits are quite the same. Prices start from an accessible $3.88 per 100g, making it easy to customise a bowl to your appetite — though restraint is key, as the final bill can quickly climb depending on your selections.

BibimDeli-10

BibimDeli-15

One of the main highlights at JEM is the outlet-exclusive Tteokbokki station. Here, diners can enjoy chewy rice cakes bathed in a rich, deeply flavoured sauce that strikes a comforting balance between sweet and spicy. The sauce clings beautifully to each piece, delivering a satisfying, hearty bite that feels both nostalgic and indulgent. It’s a thoughtful addition that elevates the overall spread, offering a warm, cooked option among the cold banchan.

BibimDeli-18

Complementing this are the limited-time dishes by Chef Woo Jung-wook, whose cooking leans into soulful, home-style Korean flavours. Her creations embody the kind of comforting dishes one might expect from a Korean home kitchen — hearty, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. Meanwhile, Chef Min Yohan’s new additions continue to showcase his flair for variety and balance, introducing more contemporary touches to the traditional spread.

BibimDeli-46

BibimDeli-48

The experience is rounded off with a complimentary bowl of miso soup, adding a light, savoury element to complete the meal. For those who prefer to dine at home, the takeaway option lets you pack your customised selection with ease, bringing a taste of Korean comfort to your table.

To celebrate the opening, Bibim Deli also brings back its popular “Guess the Right Weight” challenge at JEM. Diners who can accurately guess the weight of their bowl stand a chance to enjoy their meal for free — a fun, interactive touch that enhances the overall experience.

BibimDeli-36

BibimDeli-26

Overall, Bibim Deli at JEM delivers on both variety and flavour, offering a highly customisable dining experience that caters to different preferences and appetites. The collaboration with Culinary Class Wars chefs adds an extra layer of excitement, while the new Tteokbokki station provides a satisfying highlight. While the pay-by-weight concept offers flexibility, it also requires a mindful approach, as an indulgent bowl can easily exceed $20. Nonetheless, for those seeking a fuss-free yet flavourful Korean meal with plenty of choice, Bibim Deli remains a compelling option.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Hey Kee HK Seafood @ Guillemard Road - Introduces 12 New Dishes and 2 Live Crabs Cooked in 18 Flavours For $88

HeyKeeHKSeafoodJuly2026-7

Returning to Hey Kee HK Seafood, housed in the former Singapore Badminton Hall along Guillemard Road, feels a little like revisiting an old favourite with new surprises. This time round, the spotlight is not only on a refreshed line-up of dishes but also on a compelling crab promotion — two live crabs (approximately 500g each) prepared in your choice of 18 flavours for just $88.

HeyKeeHKSeafoodJuly2026-9
Stir-Fried Crab with Black Truffle 4.5/5

One of the newest additions to the menu, the Stir-Fried Crab with Black Truffle, reimagines the familiar wok-fried crab with a luxurious twist. The kitchen uses a black truffle sauce sourced directly from Italy, layering it into the dish with precision rather than overwhelming the palate.

A generous amount of spring onions is first tossed in the wok, releasing their aromatic oils under intense heat. This step is crucial — it softens the sharpness of the truffle and coaxes out a more rounded, fragrant profile. The truffle sauce is then introduced, melding seamlessly with the aromatics before the crab is added.

Cooked using a high-heat “dry-frying” technique, the process intentionally reduces moisture, allowing the sauce to cling tightly to the shell while subtly infusing the naturally sweet crab meat. The result is a well-balanced dish where the truffle enhances rather than dominates. It’s an inventive flavour that works surprisingly well, offering something different without straying too far from the essence of a good crab dish.

The ongoing promotion of $88 for two crabs (available Monday to Friday, lunch and dinner, excluding weekends) makes this an even more attractive option. Diners can also opt for other flavours such as Typhoon Shelter, Curry, Sichuan Spicy, Braised Crab with Vermicelli, and Baked Ee-fu Noodles with Crab in Spicy Butter Cream Sauce.

HeyKeeHKSeafoodJuly2026-2
Deep-Fried Eggplant 4.5/5

A standout among the new dishes is the Deep-Fried Eggplant ($16.80), featuring the rare Glacier Brinjal (冰川茄) from Yunnan. This heirloom variety is prized for its naturally low bitterness, minimal seeds, and remarkably dense yet velvety flesh. Deep-fried to achieve a delicate crisp exterior, each piece gives way to a pillowy-soft, almost creamy centre. The contrast in textures is further elevated by a glossy sweet-savoury glaze that coats the eggplant evenly, adding just enough richness without masking its natural sweetness. It’s the kind of dish that disappears quickly from the table — deceptively simple, yet highly addictive.

HeyKeeHKSeafoodJuly2026-14

HeyKeeHKSeafoodJuly2026-16
Temple Street Chicken with Spicy Chips 4.2/5

The Temple Street Chicken with Spicy Chips ($39.80) returns, now upgraded with even more attention to detail. Each chicken undergoes a meticulous preparation process — brined for close to five hours with lemongrass, ginger, garlic and salt, then air-dried for several hours to remove excess moisture. This results in a beautifully crisp, golden skin upon frying, while the meat remains tender and juicy within. The accompanying house-made chips are tossed in a bold, spicy seasoning that delivers a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. It’s a crowd-pleaser through and through — the kind of dish that appeals across all age groups, making it perfect for communal dining. Given its limited daily availability, pre-ordering is highly recommended.

HeyKeeSeafoodJul2026-5

HeyKeeHKSeafoodJuly2026-31
Crab Roe Baked Rice 4.2/5

Rounding off the meal is the indulgent Crab Roe Baked Rice ($48), a dish that leans into richness and depth of flavour. The rice is first braised in a luxurious mixture of fresh crab roe, crab butter and milk, ensuring every grain is infused with the essence of the sea. It is then finished in a hot wok, creating a crisp, golden crust at the base reminiscent of traditional Guoba (锅巴). This adds a smoky aroma and a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy rice above. The dish is served with an additional crab roe sauce, generously packed with roe, crab meat and eggs, and topped with tobiko, spring onions and fried shallots. The interplay of textures — creamy, crunchy, and popping — makes this a satisfying finale. Do note that pre-ordering is advisable, especially during peak hours, as preparation takes at least 30 minutes.

Hey Kee HK Seafood continues to evolve while staying true to its strengths in wok-fired seafood. The new dishes demonstrate a willingness to innovate — particularly with the black truffle crab and premium ingredients like Glacier Brinjal — while maintaining the bold, familiar flavours diners expect. Coupled with the value-driven crab promotion, it’s a compelling reason to revisit, whether for a casual weekday indulgence or a hearty group meal. With a good balance of creativity and execution, Hey Kee proves that even classic seafood concepts can still surprise.

Jalan Wong Ah Fook Charcoal Curry Fish Head @ Tampines Street 64 - My Favourite JB-Style Charcoal Curry Fish Head is in the East

JalanWongAhFook20

JalanWongAhFookTampines-2

With curry fish head spots popping up all over the island, it begs the question — which ones are truly worth your time (and calories)? For me, Jalan Wong Ah Fook Charcoal Curry Fish Head in Tampines is a clear standout at the moment. What sets it apart is how closely it mirrors that iconic Johor-style curry fish head many Singaporeans willingly travel across the Causeway for. In fact, the recipe here is inspired by that very same famous establishment in Johor Bahru, resulting in a rendition that feels both nostalgic and satisfying, with slight tweaks to better suit local palates.

JalanWongAhFook14

JalanWongAhFook18
Charcoal Curry Fish Head 4.5/5

The Charcoal Curry Fish Head ($26/$32) is undeniably the star of the show and a must-order. Prepared over charcoal, the curry develops a gentle smokiness that adds an extra layer of complexity to its already robust profile. The gravy is thick, creamy, and deeply spiced — rich without being cloying — coating every element in the pot with its full-bodied intensity.

The fish itself is fresh, with moist and tender flesh that holds up well against the bold curry. Accompanying the fish are classic additions like long beans, lady’s fingers, and brinjals, all of which absorb the curry beautifully. A standout component is the generously sized deep-fried beancurd skin, which soaks up the gravy like a sponge while offering a contrasting texture that makes each bite more satisfying. Altogether, it’s a dish that feels indulgent, comforting, and remarkably close to its Johor counterpart.

JalanWongAhFook9
3-Cup Chicken 4.2/5

Beyond their signature, the kitchen also turns out a commendable selection of zichar dishes. The 3-Cup Chicken ($10) impresses with its aromatic profile — fragrant from Chinese wine, soy sauce, and generous handfuls of basil leaves. The sauce is rich and slightly caramelised, clinging well to the tender chicken pieces, which are thoroughly infused with flavour. It’s a comforting, well-executed classic that complements the heavier curry dish nicely.

JalanWongAhFook13
Pig Trotter Vinegar 4.2/5

The Pig Trotter Vinegar ($15) is another highlight and one I would gladly return for. The trotters are stewed until fork-tender, with a luscious, gelatinous skin that retains a pleasant bounce. Each bite is deeply infused with the sharp, gingery tang of black vinegar, striking a balanced interplay between savoury richness and appetising acidity. It’s a dish that leans towards traditional flavours and delivers them confidently.

JalanWongAhFook21
Fried Shrimp Cake 4/5

A surprising favourite at the table was the Fried Shrimp Cake ($10). Deep-fried to a beautiful golden brown, it boasts a crisp exterior that gives way to a slightly soft, doughy interior. The prawn topping adds an extra layer of crunch and natural sweetness, making it incredibly addictive — the kind of dish you keep reaching for without realising.

JalanWongAhFook29
Sambal Stingray 3/5

The Sambal Stingray ($18), however, was less impressive. While the stingray itself was reasonably well-cooked, the sambal lacked the depth and punch expected of a good sambal chilli — missing that robust, piquant kick that elevates the dish. That said, I appreciated the inclusion of chinchalok on the side, which added a touch of authenticity and extra flavour dimension.

Jalan Wong Ah Fook Charcoal Curry Fish Head delivers a compelling dining experience, especially for those craving that distinctive Johor-style curry fish head without the need to cross the border. The charcoal-cooked curry stands out with its depth, richness, and subtle smokiness, while the supporting zichar dishes round out the meal with satisfying variety. While not every dish hits the mark, the strengths here — particularly the signature curry fish head and pig trotter vinegar — are strong enough to warrant repeat visits. For now, it comfortably ranks as one of the more noteworthy curry fish head spots in Singapore.

The Landing Point @ The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore - Matcha Expressions Afternoon Tea

3 tier stand-4

Calling all afternoon tea enthusiasts and matcha girlies. The Landing Point at The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore has launched a seasonal Matcha Expressions Afternoon Tea, available from 1 July to 31 August 2026. Paying tribute to one of Japan’s most iconic drinks, the afternoon tea showcases premium usucha-grade matcha sourced from Uji, Kyoto, Japan’s most renowned tea-growing region.

View and interior-2

Set against the picturesque Marina Bay waterfront, The Landing Point is a pretty spot for afternoon tea, especially if you’re lucky enough to book one of their sofa seats. The natural light-filled space, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and elegant interiors, makes it especially popular for leisurely catch-ups and, of course, plenty of photos.

3 tier stand-5

Presented on an elegant 3-tiered stand dressed with pretty florals, this limited-time menu incorporates matcha across both the savoury and sweet selections with subtle Japanese influences. Chef Joan Octavi also shared that he was particularly excited for us to try the desserts, which turned out to be the highlight of the experience.

Matcha-1
Matcha

As expected from a matcha-themed afternoon tea, each guest is welcomed with a glass of Matcha, served either warm or iced. The set also includes a choice of coffee or tea. I opted for the Crème Brûlée tea, a fragrant green tea infused with delicate notes of strawberries and red fruits. Light and floral with just a hint of sweetness, it paired very nicely with the pastries throughout the afternoon.

Smoked trout-2
Norwegian Smoked Trout

We started our tea time with the Norwegian Smoked Trout, served on a soft blini and layered with smooth cream cheese, ikura and a light dusting of matcha powder.

Boston lobster-1

Tuna tataki-1

The Boston Lobster was one of the more luxurious bites, pairing sweet, succulent lobster with a bright yuzu-matcha mayonnaise and Nomad caviar, whilst the lightly seared Tuna Tataki was served with crisp kohlrabi and sesame-matcha aioli.

Duck rilettes-1
Duck Rillettes

Served on a crisp cracker, the Duck Rillettes came with matcha fig compote and cornichon. The duck was rich and savoury, while the fig compote contributed a mellow sweetness.

Cucumber samdwich-2
Classic Cucumber Sandwich

Truffle egg-2
Truffle Egg Salad Sandwich

The Classic Cucumber Sandwich was simple but tasty, with crisp cucumber and cream cheese tucked between soft bread. The Truffle Egg Salad Sandwich’s creamy filling and fragrant truffle made for an easy crowd-pleaser.

To be honest, the matcha element wasn’t particularly evident in the savoury bites, as it was used more as a subtle accent rather than the main event. Regardless, each savoury bite was well-composed, felt premium and was very enjoyable. I thought that this also provided a nice balance before we moved on to the sweets where matcha was more prominently used.

Strawberry matcha shortcake and cheesecake-4
Chitose Strawberry Matcha Shortcake, Matcha Cheesecake

From the dessert selection, what caught my eye first was the gorgeous Chitose Strawberry Matcha Shortcake, featuring layers of fluffy matcha sponge, fresh strawberries and light vanilla Chantilly. Given how trendy and popular matcha strawberry has been recently, I was pleased to see this combination on the menu.

Next to it was the Matcha Cheesecake, featuring a smooth matcha cream cheese filling atop buttery graham crumbs, finished with a glossy matcha glaze.

Yuzu pecan, mochi, raspberry-1
Matcha Yuzu Pecan, Matcha Custard Mochi, Matcha Raspberry

The Matcha Yuzu Pecan was my favourite sweet of the afternoon. It combines caramelised pecan praline, whipped matcha ganache and dark chocolate, all brightened with a touch of yuzu. I especially loved how the toasted, buttery pecans complemented the earthy matcha.

For a different texture, the Matcha Custard Mochi was equally enjoyable. The chewy mochi encased a silky custard filling with sweet azuki red bean. It’s not overly sweet either, and the flavours came together nicely.

The Matcha Raspberry paired smooth matcha crémeux with raspberry confit and airy matcha chiffon sponge. The tartness of the raspberry cut through the matcha cream, so it wasn't too heavy.

Citrus baba savarin-2
Citrus Baba Savarin

Instead of the traditional scones, the afternoon tea offers a Citrus Baba Savarin, served with green tea crème and tangy yuzu curd. I thought this was a unique change from the usual format. The baba was light, soft and pleasantly moist, while the citrus flavours made it feel much less filling than a classic scone with clotted cream and jam. It rounded off the sweet selection on a zesty note.

View and interior-1

The Matcha Afternoon Tea offers a very pleasant take on matcha without overdoing it. The desserts in particular showcase it in a variety of ways, pairing it with strawberries, yuzu, raspberries and pecans. The Landing Point’s elegant waterfront setting and attentive service make for a lovely afternoon out as well.
