1. 1-Alfaro
A brand new lifestyle destination by 1-Group, the folks behind well-known concepts like Wildseed, Atico Lounge, and Botanico @ The Summerhouse, launches this month. 1-Alfaro takes inspiration from the lighthouses of Emilia-Romagna in Italy, and fittingly, this new spot is perched on the rooftop of Labrador Tower, overlooking the sea. Dig into classic Italian plates and sip on aperitivo – the restaurant La Torre and bar La Luna at 1-Alfaro are run by the same team behind Monti, so you know they mean business. Feast on a spread of handmade tagliatelle ($28) and pinwheel pasta ($22), grilled meats ranging from Australian ribeye ($148) to Iberico tomahawk ($78), and then mosey over to La Luna for sundowners, whether it’s wines (from $12), cocktails (from $16), or sharing jugs ($40) that you fancy. Once the sun sets, the mood turns electric with a live DJ spinning till late.
Address: Labrador Tower, Level 34, Singapore 118479
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8am-1am; Sat 10am-1am; Sun 10am-midnight
Expect to pay: Around $80 per person with drinks.
2. Song Gye Ok
Think Korean barbecue and you’ll most likely picture thick strips of samgyeopsal (pork belly) or slabs of galbi (beef ribs) over the grill instead of chicken. But prepare to have your perception changed after June 5, because Korea’s famed grilled chicken restaurant Song Gye Ok is opening its doors in Singapore. The chain commands hour-long queues in Seoul – and mind you, these hungry patrons are usually locals, not tourists. Head down to Telok Ayer to sample Song Gye Ok’s assorted grilled chicken platter ($98), featuring six chicken cuts including rare bits like chicken neck fillets, gizzards, hearts, and chicken breast softbone. It’s a medley of textures and flavours that highlight the oft-overlooked parts of the chicken that can be just as delicious as the thighs, wings, or drumlets. On top of that, you’ll also find Modu’s samgyetang on the menu – in particular the perilla seed, collagen, and spicy hangover soups.
Address: 113 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068582
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 11am-3pm, 5pm-10pm; Sat-Sun 11am-10pm
Expect to pay: Around $60 per person including additional sides to share.
