Ippudo Ramen
Hailed as the holy grail of all ramen restaurants, we are eagerly anticipating the opening of Ippudo Ramen at the Mandarin Gallery, Singapore. Started by Shigemi Kawahara (also known as the King of Ramen), this Hakata ramen restaurant is a household name in his native Japan and is also a sensation in New York. We have been dreaming about its springy, homemade noodles and the long-simmered, rich broth full of porky goodness.

TWG Tea Salon @ ION Orchard
Not surprisingly, TWG Tea—the world’s finest tea purveyor—has opened an extraordinary TWG Tea destination in Singapore’s latest luxury mall. Perfectly suited to cosmopolitan tea connoisseurs, some of its amazing features include the specially-commissioned artisan curved glass wall, and a most impressive rotating tea wall that you have to check out in person. We are dazzled by the elegant 18k gold Design Teapot, which was conceived to commemorate their new salon. By revealing over two hundred new teas, in addition to over eight hundred single estate fine harvests and exclusive tea blends already available, TWG Tea gives us a multitude of reasons to visit this haven of tea time glamour over and over again.

Huber’s Butchery & Bistro @ Dempsey
Huber’s Butchery, the European-styled premium specialty meats store, has opened a new outlet within the lush enclave of Dempsey. Offering a broad range of quality meats, sausages and hams alongside an array of organic fruits and vegetables, this gourmet grocer will attract a retinue of connoisseurs and foodies. We absolutely love the addition of a charming all-day bistro, which we think might just be the winning formula for Huber’s. And did we mention free parking?
