Things to do this weekend in Singapore
1. Eat & Drink: GRLA at Ghostwriter
All weekend

The team behind Sago House, Low Tide, and Underdog Inn presents a cool new concept for budding F&B operators. Say hello to Ghostwriter, an incubation space for future restauranteurs to test-run their concepts. Located at the bustling Club Street, the space of 10 will play host to various concepts from three weeks to a month.
The first pop-up of 2023 opens its doors to Guerilla (or GRLA for short). Founded by Son Pham (Sonny’s Pizza fame) and June Baek (Mo Bar Singapore), the multi-concept space rolls out mod-Asian bar bites, a six-course tasting menu, and cocktails.
Highlights include refreshing cold fish; aged red snapper with clam jus, horseradish, herb oils and tosazu jelly. The hearty hot seafood jook was our fave meal; the daikon porridge with octopus, puffed rice and homemade XO sauce warmed our souls. Save room for grilled ssam (MB2 short rib with banchan and son sauce). Finally, end your meal with a fresh and tart cleanser of seasonal fruit, mikan granite, barley mousse and kiinako.

Don’t forget the cocktails! June charms us with a range to suit every palette. Campari lovers, go for O-mericano with omija-cooked Campari, cinzano bianco, perilla leaf and soda. If you’re ordering the grilled ssam, get Ssook Sour, an Asian iteration with toasted sesame, ginger, Bombay gin, egg white and lemon. Finally, Do Pumpkin Ma Heart left us on a high with sweet pumpkin, ma, mango, Sailor Jerry spiced rum, and coconut milk served warm, with a dollop of cold cinnamon cream. Call it a boozy pumpkin spice latte if you will.
GRLA at Ghostwriter, 98 Club Street, Singapore 069467
