Numb Restaurant provides a large social space wher

Numb Restaurant provides a large social space where shared meals are a lot tastier when dining with people you know. My experience was a little numbing, socially. Fortunately the food was good, although not spicy or numbing enough.

The restaurant brings together unique Sichuanese cuisine fused with contemporary techniques. The restaurant offers appetisers, mains, and drinks, including the trendy Peking Duck in Spicy Stew. The founders of the restaurant, Stella Wang and Ma Jie, both former bankers, sought to promote a cuisine they both love and keep it relevant to younger consumers.

Numb Restaurant
📍 5 Straits View, West Tower, #01-12 Marina One, 018935

Haidilao has launched 10 new menu items including the Mala Milk Broth with a creamy texture that makes the mala spiciness milder for those who can’t take the heat.

The Tobiko Chunky Prawn Paste, is an upgraded version of the fan-favourite prawn paste, now with chunkier prawn bits with the popping goodness of tobiko.

Beef lovers will probably want to try the Sichuan Pepperfect Beef Tongue and the Beef in Milk Bath.

There are two new drinks too, the Fizzy Strawberry Pop and Fizzy Sour Plum Pop.

My new favourite item from Haidilao is the Brown Sugar Lava Rice Cake dessert. It has a crisp outer shell with mochi chewiness and explodes with a brown sugar filling when you bite in.

Dakga, a new Korean barbecue restaurant in Singapo

Dakga, a new Korean barbecue restaurant in Singapore, offers a unique chicken-centric menu featuring various parts of the chicken, including a signature dish of chicken neck meat. Sides such as cheese fondue, kimchi pancake, and truffle triple eggs complement the barbeque experience. The restaurant also serves rice dishes, noodles, soups, and a range of drinks, including Soju and Korean beer.

I personally recommend the Curry Fried Chicken, Marinated Bone in Thigh and Cheese Fondue. 😋

As a launch promotion, customers who spend $50 or more on food orders receive free cheese fondue and nachos.

📍 17 Duxton Rd, Singapore 08948

Meals at Si Chuan Dou Hua are full of comfort dish

Meals at Si Chuan Dou Hua are full of comfort dishes. Starting with their nourishing double-boiled soups, which I enjoy to the last drop, another favourite at the restaurant is their year-round lohei. Their “Prosperity Exotic Garden Greens with Black Truffle in Osmanthus Sauce” is a refreshing start to a meal with over 20 types of fruits and vegetables.

The Flambé Roast Suckling Pig is a signature with crisp crackling and can be made into two different dishes—Deep-fried Suckling Pig Fillet with Dried Chilli and Stewed Rice Vermicelli with Fillet of Suckling Pig.

“Chong Qing” Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli always tests my spice tolerance, but the flavour is too addictive to stop munching on the crunchy chicken. The Boiled Sliced Fish with Spicy Chilli Sauce is also something that I’d order… maybe with some rice.

The restaurant makes its own Purple Rice Beancurd that’s served as a cold dessert with ice cream, and the beancurd also features in the savoury Signature Beancurd Medley—three types of beancurd (soy, fried purple rice and tauhuay) done three ways (steamed, fried, and braised).

An interesting dessert is the Giant Glutinous Sesame Ball. I never knew this was a trend, but deep frying the bulbous, air-filled sesame ball takes much skill. I love most things glutinous, so this sweet, nutty, chewy snack suits me, although it’s a little heavy for dessert. But if you have a tableful of people to impress, the balloon-like structure will surely start conversations.

We popped by Fufu Pot to try their lunchtime special. Enjoy your own customised hotpot for just $14++, weekdays 11.30am–5.00pm.

I’ll never get bored of attending coffee classes

I’ll never get bored of attending coffee classes as there’s always some new information to learn and it’s even better when we get hands on experience with the commercial machines. 🤓

We went for a Valentine’s couple class as friends (cos who has time to date anyways 😅), and learnt about coffee—from beans, to processing, flavour profiles and then hands on with filter and espresso making.

Check out the range of Academy Classes available, it’s a fun date idea too.

Baker X at Orchard Central—appears to be just another small cafe on the outside, but within, it allows home bakers to take up residency to hone their craft and provides a vital insight into running a retail front.

Visit throughout the year to find different home bakers taking over the space, one at a time. It was inspiring to chat to the bakers personally to find out more about their passions and to hear how invested they are to perfect their products.

Some of the brands I got to talk to and sample their products at the media event:

Pomedochi — @pomedochi
🤓: Popular for their artisanal tarts, I enjoyed the Lemon Yuzu Meringue and Yamaimo (orh nee) flavours the most. All the tarts are flavourful without tasting overly sweet. The presentation of the tarts are highly insta-worthy too. 📸

Flash Bakes — @flash.bakes
At Baker X: 5 to 18 May 2023
🤓: Focuses on thin-crust egg tarts in various flavours. The Coffee flavour was intense, while I also enjoyed their Orh Nee and Pandan tarts. These tarts are well presented and would make great gifts or tea time snacks in the office.

Chocolatea — @chocolatea_sg
At Baker X: 6 to 20 February 2023
🤓: Beautifully decorated Japanese and French-inspired chocolate desserts. Their Intense Matcha Tart is as the name says, definitely a must try if you’re into Matcha. These bakes also sat well with me as they were full of flavour but not too sweet.

Cherbaxtartyy — @cherbaxtartyy
At Baker X: 22 February to 4 April 2023
🤓: If you’re looking for both sweet and savoury tarts to share with friends, Cherbaxtartyy has flavours such as Crab Mayo, Curry Potato, Orh Nee, and Nutella. My favourite flavours were the Rendang and Pizza tarts. Perfect for adults and kids too!

Enjoy some tea at Baker X from Tea Ideas — @teaideas.sg
🤓: they pioneered the non-drip tea wands. These tea wands are perfect for busy people on-the-go. They also have Nitro Cold Brew Coffee which is a pocket sized bottle of espresso for the caffeine lovers. Spray the coffee into your drinks, over desserts or however you like to enjoy extra coffee flavour.
