Here, dishes like the Ayam Buah Keluak Burger and Chilli Crab Cakes put a playful spin on traditional Peranakan food. If the enticing waft of herbs and spices doesn’t lure you in, the eyecandy-worthy Peranakan aesthetic of the restaurant will. We love the heritage hotel it’s housed in, too (see more here)!

It’s not every day – or at every restaurant – that you come across a menu as inventive as this. Expect a multi-sensory dining experience with a smorgasbord of contrasting yet complementing flavours, like shrimp wrapped in banana batter or lime mayonnaise. Like an Alice in Gourmet Wonderland of sorts!

At once a thoughtful nod to Singapore’s culinary heritage and an inspiring interpretation of global flavours, this Mediterr-Asian buffet spread features a Dutch Rijsttafel-style (rice table) array of local and Middle Eastern-inspired dishes. Go from Barbecued Chicken with Sambal Squid Rings to Fattoush Salad, and finish with delish Nonya Kueh.

Popo (meaning “grandmother” in Chinese) knows best, and at Pó, Singaporean classics like popiah and satay are levelled up big time. Even the Hokkien Mee is adorned with sakura ebi, which goes a long way to amp up the umami.

Who said too many cooks spoil the broth? Beast and Butterflies melds East and West splendidly to create a borderless cuisine. Our favourites on the menu (we had the toughest time deciding): the Oriental-Spiced Braised Rack Of Lamb, and the Yam Brulee to end off your meal on a sweet note.

No prizes for guessing what they do best. Inspired by the ocean, the menu features the daily catch of freshest seafood. More adventurous eaters can go for options like the Spicy Buffalo Frog Legs.

Local favourites are taken to another level – this is a rooftop dining destination we’re talking about, after all – at this rooftop restaurant-cum-bar. Take for instance Siew Yoke (crispy pork belly), reinterpreted in this version of marinated pork belly with red wine jam and sautéed garlic vegetables. The bartender will be happy to recommend their Asian-inspired cocktails to go with!

Not quite a boutique hotel, but the freshly unveiled Oakwood Premier OUE serviced apartments are pretty rad.
