Expect fresh ingredients and punchy flavours only. Thirsty? We recommend you share jugs of frozen margaritas in citrusy flavours. They’re the stuff cocktail dreams are made of.

40. Min Jiang at Dempsey
Granted, there’s one at Goodwood Park Hotel, but Min Jiang’s lush Dempsey outpost is in a league of its own. Stepping into the restaurant is like being transported to an ultra sleek island resort (Bali, anyone?).

43. Foc by the Beach
We’re big fans of Foc’s open kitchen space on Hong Kong Street (great for dinner and drinks!), but the Sentosa outpost easily wins us over. Imagine a picturesque oasis on the sandy shores of Palawan Beach. If there’s ever a culinary reason to visit the island, this is it.

Pronounced “chi-keh-tee”, this cosy Italian restaurant is one of the few places that does pizzas and pastas perfectly (in our humble opinion). Start with a selection of small plates before scarfing down the wood-fired pizzas, including variations like diavola and quattro formaggi. Feeling peckish? Try the gnocchi for its strong truffle flavour. Complete your meal with the addictive desserts like the Cicheti tiramisu or cannolis with a pistachio filling.

Expect intense flavours, allowing you to savour the meat without forking out a fortune. To pad your meal, order the sinful potatoes, which are deep-fried in beef fat. Oh, and don’t forget about the beef-inspired cocktails like the beefy old fashioned, made with fat-washed Makers Mark.
