Sunshine Dorayaki Review: Which of the 4 Flavours Is Actually Worth Trying?
When Sunshine Bakeries sent over its new Dorayaki range as a media drop, I was expecting the usual suspects to come out on top. Azuki red bean? Safe choice. Uji matcha? Probably a crowd favourite. Taro? I had fairly high hopes. Cheese, however, was not the flavour I expected to like most. Sunshine launched its Dorayaki range in Singapore with four flavours — Uji Matcha, Azuki Red Bean, Cheese and Taro — each sandwiched between soft pancakes made with Hokkaido milk. They are individually packed and, at S$2 each, sit firmly in the everyday-snack rather than speciality-Japanese-dessert price range. We...
High Table x Chefs Daniel & Tamara Chavez at HighHouse: Our First Taste of Nikkei Cuisine
There are date nights where you already know what you are going to order before you arrive. Then there are dinners where half the fun is admitting that you have no idea what something is and seeing where the meal takes you. Our dinner at HighHouse’s High Table x Chefs Daniel & Tamara Chavez was very much the latter. Neither my husband nor I had really explored Peruvian cuisine before, much less Nikkei cuisine, which brings together Peruvian flavours with Japanese ingredients and techniques. The limited-edition menu was created by husband-and-wife chefs Daniel and Tamara Chavez of CANCHITA Peruvian Cuisine...

Connor’s and Chye Seng Huat Hardware Serve Up Stout-Infused Eats and a Boozy Affogato
If stout is usually something you order by the pint, Connor’s Stout Porter and Chye Seng Huat Hardware are giving Singapore diners a few other ways to experience it. From 27 August to 1 November 2026, the Jalan Besar café is serving three limited-time creations that work Connor’s into the food itself, including stout-infused caramelised onions, stout mayonnaise and a boozy affogato.

Three Stout-Inspired Creations to Try Chye Seng Huat Hardware Head Chef Christina Ee...

Viva Lavender Review: Standout Tapas, Uneven Mains and a Cheesecake Worth Returning For
Disclosure: We were invited to a media tasting at Viva Lavender. We also tried the Har Cheong Calamari and Hokkaido Scallop Risotto. All opinions are our own. Viva Lavender describes itself as a neighbourhood restaurant serving European food with Asian influences, but “neighbourhood” depends rather heavily on which neighbourhood you live or work in. Located along Lavender Street, it is not the most convenient restaurant to reach unless you already live or work nearby or are driving. Even then, finding parking along the row can be a pain. ARC 380 next door is probably the easier parking option, particularly at...
