Firangi Superstar @ Craig Road - Enters Its Next Delicious Chapter

Firangi Superstar, the modern Indian restaurant along Craig Road known for its cinematic flair and fearless flavours, ushers in a new chapter with a refreshed menu of creative debuts and beloved returning favourites. Inspired by India's diverse culinary regions, each dish here is vibrant, layered, and imaginative, offering thoughtful vegetarian alternatives for most plates to cater to all dietary preferences.

Papi’s Jammed Gun 4/5

Papi's Jammed Gun ($29) pairs wagyu beef tartare with crispy papdi, finished with caviar, grated egg, and Firangi's signature gunpowder spice for a punchy, umami-rich bite. The vegetarian version swaps in beetroot tartare and Moai Caviar, delivering the same savoury depth without the meat. It is an excellent introduction to their modern Indian approach.

Big Baller Peperoner 4.2/5

A playful reimagination of the classic paneer Manchurian, the Big Baller Peperoner ($28) features a golden-brown burrata sphere atop tangy, umami-packed Manchurian chilli sauce. The combination of creamy indulgence and bold spice makes this fusion dish both comforting and exciting.

This is Also Not Aloo Gobi 3.5/5

Firangi's twist on the traditional cauliflower-and-potato Aloo Gobi ($18) swaps in bite-sized Romanesco Cauliflower over a spiced potato foam, finished with crispy potato strips and a dusting of aromatic spices. While visually appealing, it leans more subtle in flavour compared to the other bolder offerings.

The Nut Kraken 4.2/5

Octopus cooked pollichathu-style, marinated in spices, wrapped in banana leaf, and grilled to smoky perfection – is served over a sweet, smoky gravy with banana leaf oil and crispy coconut chips for texture. The Nut Kraken ($32) strikes a nice balance between spice, smokiness, and freshness.

The Bengal Bake Off 5/5

My highlight of the night, The Bengal Bake Off ($108), features tender seabass baked in salt dough with a creamy Kasundi marinade. The mustard's bright tang, mellowed by cream and lifted with aromatic banana leaf oil, brings depth and layers of flavour that linger beautifully on the palate. A smart, brilliant pairing that elevates the dish to star status.

Back In The Saddle 4.5/5

Naan 4.2/5

A returning crowd favourite, Back In The Saddle ($21 per 100g) is Tandoori-spiced lamb cooked until tender, infused with confit garlic and fragrant curry leaves. The sauce is rich and flavourful – perfect for scooping up with Firangi’s signature naans, which have a satisfying chew and char.

Rasmalai “Tres Leches” 4.2/5

The Rasmalai "Tres Leches" ($16) is an inventive dessert that sees layers of cake soaked in rose-saffron cream, topped with pistachios and served with a scoop of saffron ice cream. It's a fragrant, floral twist on the Latin American classic.

Banoffee Fritters 4.5/5

A playful nod to local goreng pisang, the Banoffee Fritters ($14) feature churros-style crunch with crisp spring roll pastry filled with banana mousse, coated in dark spiced chocolate, and plated with crushed Parle-G biscuits for extra crunch. Comforting, nostalgic, yet refined.

Firangi Superstar’s refreshed menu keeps its signature flair intact while adding clever new creations that span the spectrum from playful to elegant. Whether you’re here for a bold, spice-laden main or a quirky dessert that channels local flavours, this cinematic Indian dining experience continues to deliver both style and substance.

Tonito @ Jewel Changi Airport - Serving Lesser Known Traditional Latin American Cuisine

Having dined at Tono Cevicheria on a few occasions, I have grown to enjoy the vibrant flavours of Peruvian cuisine. I was excited when it opens a brother restaurant, Tonito at Jewel Changi Airport, bringing the lesser known Latino dishes to Singaporean as well as tourists travelling in and out of Singapore.

Mexican Ceviche 4/5

For appetisers, we started with the Mexican Ceviche ($28) and Ceviche Tonito ($28). The Mexican Ceviche consists of octopus, Japanese baby scallops, crabmeat, pico de gallo, limes, and guacamole. It is best eaten together with the crispy corn tortilla for an explosion of flavours and play of textures.

Ceviche Tonito 4/5

Tasted as good is the Ceviche Tonito ($28) that comprises of Japanese baby scallops, octopus, crabmeat and fried calamari in Smoked Aji Amarillo Tiger's Milk. Compare to the Mexican Ceviche, and I prefer this more as the flavours are sharper with more depth.

Pork Tacos 4/5

Tonito does not focus only on Peruvian food. It also offers a selection of Latin American cuisine  such as the Mexican tacos and quesadillas. For tacos, there are options for fish, beef, chicken and pork. I had the Pork Tacos ($16) which comes with crispy pork belly, sausage, caramelised onion, chipotle mayo aioli with soft corn tortilla.

Beef Quesadillas 4.2/5

The Beef Quesadillas ($16) with crispy thin flour tortilla is another excellent dish on the menu. Marinated beef, coriander aioli and avocado puree are sandwiched in between the crispy shell, bound together by the melted cheddar cheese for a cheesy enjoyment. There are also options for pork and chicken if you don't eat beef. For vegetarian, the corn replaces the protein.

Fish Moqueca 4.2/5

A dish closer to our local palate is the traditional Brazilian Fish Moqueca ($26). The fish stew is prepared with rich coconut milk in a piquant gravy of tomatoes and peppers which has a mild spicy kick. It goes very well with the fragrant garlic rice.

Latino Seafood Rice 4.5/5

My favourite dish for the night goes to the Latino Seafood Rice. The crabmeat rice cooked in white wine, dried chilli sauce and parmesan cheese is delicious and flavourful. Crispy fish, calamari and prawns accompanied the dish. It is a simple yet hearty dish. I probably can eat this every day and not get tired of it.

Tres Leches 4.5/5

Not being a dessert person, I find myself enjoying the Tres Leches ($8) paired with pineapple compote and crispy coconut flakes. The sponge cake soaked in coconut milk is moist and sweet.

Unlike Tono Cevicheria, Tonito offers a more family-friendly, convivial dining atmosphere with hearty and flavourful traditional Latin American cuisine that is lesser known to Singaporean.
