Summerlong launches its most recent dining menu
The riverside Eastern-Mediterranean eatery Summerlong recently launched their recent dining menu and it is big on sharing platters which Head Chef Justin Hammond was inspired by the beloved Mediterranean Coast. Start with some array of hummus and then work your way up to cover the lamb pita, Persian fried chicken (a winner), and the whole roasted sea bass stuffed delicious with herbs and spices.

For croissants, cookies and baguettes: Mother Dough Bakery
Another cool new store opens up in the already-hip precinct of Arab Street. Well technically, not-so-new as we’ve been keeping tabs on their pop-ups but we’re mighty pleased that we can now get our pain au chocolats straight from the store anytime. We implore you to check out their Instagram feed and not get hungry for some fresh bakes…
