And we must say, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/food-outlets-singapore-affected-covid-19-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dining scene<\/a> looks and feels different. It took us a few foodie misadventures to realise that eating out in Phase 2 is not as easy as pre-Covid times. For one,\u00a0you can\u2019t just head out to your favourite joint on a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/things-to-do-this-weekend-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday night<\/a>, because weekend activities require a little more planning than usual. So before Phase 3 hits us, we take a closer look at the landscape of Phase 2 dining and how restaurateurs and chefs have dealt with the cards given to them in 2020.<\/p>\n<h2>What we learnt from Phase 2 dining<\/h2>\n<h3>Reservations are paramount<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ll say this again and again. If you don\u2019t make reservations, especially during peak hours, good luck to you. Chances are, you might end up on the back of a snaking queue, or worse \u2013 leave with a growling stomach. We initially didn&#8217;t think much about how social distancing would affect the way we dine out. But restaurants at buzzy areas like<a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/neighbourhood-guide-ann-siang-hill-club-street\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Club Street<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/duxton-hill-guide-restaurants-cafes-shops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duxton Hill<\/a> get filled up very quickly on weekends as maximum seating capacity is reduced. So, you know what to do.<\/p>\n<h3>Self-service buffets are a thing of the past<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_224032\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-224032\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-224032 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/the-line-1.png\" alt=\"Phase 2 dining: No self-service buffets\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/the-line-1.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/the-line-1.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-224032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What to expect at The Line. Photography: Nicole Nithiyah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In following Phase 2 dining measures, buffet restaurants have adapted their ways to serve hungry diners. Hello, a la carte buffets! During our recent visit to The Line at Shangri-La Hotel Singapore, we were seated the entire time and dishes were made to order.<\/p>\n<p>It was a QR code that led us to a digital menu on our phones. Everything was easy and simple, so we submitted our orders and received artfully plated dishes in perfect portions! Unquestionably, this changes the standard buffet experience, but for the better. Instead of spending time queuing at stations, we truly get to enjoy the free-flow meal with our loved ones. Plus, this significantly reduces food wastage as you won&#8217;t grab more than you can eat.<\/p>\n<p>The service extends to communal areas in restaurants as well. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-steamboat-in-singapore\/\">steamboat<\/a> chain Hai Di Lao has closed its condiment station to diners. Instead, you fill up your choice of preferred sauces in a form and servers send them to you in a jiffy.<\/p>\n<h3>No booze after half past 10<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_216299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-216299\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-216299 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/wine-glasses.png\" alt=\"wine glasses | phase 2 dining\" width=\"900\" height=\"579\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/wine-glasses.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/wine-glasses.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/579;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-216299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Zan via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Revellers have to hold your breath as Phase 2 dining and drinking measures prohibit liquor consumption after 10.30pm. While this might feel like a blight on your weekend plans, we have to remind ourselves that we\u2019re living in a pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>But not all is doom and gloom. Our trip down to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/keong-saik-road-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keong Saik<\/a> on a Sunday saw patrons basking in the sun at alfresco spots with a<a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/locally-brewed-craft-beers-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> beer<\/a> in hand. While a boozy Sunday session isn&#8217;t new, we\u2019ve noticed a new trend of day-drinking at bars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe circuit breaker allowed people to pause and value the little things that make up their daily lives. Restaurants and social gatherings played a huge role. The idea of dining out and interacting taps into the same feelings as comfort food or a familiar scent,\u201d says Eddy Montana, General Manager of beer bar Heart of Darkness, which recently moved to the Keong Saik enclave.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_224033\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-224033\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-224033 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/heart-of-darkness.png\" alt=\"heart of darkness | phase 2 dining\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/heart-of-darkness.png 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/heart-of-darkness.png 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-224033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Heart of Darkness hangout.
