PURE VIDA SUPERFOOD BOWL
"This acai bowl - with coconut water, strawberries, banana and almond butter - is great for a post-holiday cleanse. It is refreshing and, more importantly, not too sweet. The housemade almond butter is delicious and gives it a slight savoury note."

ONDEH ONDEH WAFFLES

SHEPHERD'S PIE
"I enjoyed the shepherd's pie at Common Chefs, which is made with juicy minced pork, caramelised onions and sauteed mushrooms. It is topped with a tasty layer of mashed potato, then sprinkled with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese before it is baked to perfection. This is rather uncommon because a traditional shepherd's pie is usually made from minced lamb and has no mozzarella cheese."

PAPER THOSAI MEAL
"Paper thosai as long as the length of my arm, from the legendary Komala Vilas in Little India. The thosai was crisp and slightly tangy, while the array of vegetable side dishes and chutneys were full of flavour. Divine."

OSSO BUCO AL VINO ROSSO
"The Osso Buco al Vino Rosso here was one of my favourites among the dishes I tried. The tender veal shank was braised perfectly in shiraz jus and mushroom ragout. The flavourful pairing of the roasted veal bone marrow with sea salt and thyme completed this hearty meal."
