What/Where to eat?

Halal @Spize

Conceptualised with the status of our nation as one of the most metropolitan and globalised city-states, Spize is a melting pot for East and West tastes. Spize is also a Halal restaurant, so you can invite your muslim friends along for lunch/dinner. A swanky décor, strong wood accents on walls and floor, dim lighting and an attached bar exude a lounge-like vibe. The touches of green here and there lend a refreshing feel to the place. What’s amazing is that they have a large variety of food to choose from - Thai, Indian, Western & Mediterranean food which left us endlessly debating which to order. We finally came to a conclusion, and these are what we have ordered.



  

                     

                     

                             

Out of the main courses, the most satisfying dish is the Glazed Chicken Wings ($12.90). The wings are well-marinated and coated with a savoury-sweet sticking sauce that’s utterly addictive. As good as it looks, the taste was even better. The sight of it makes you crave for more. The Glazed Chicken Wings is a must-have on your order list!



Moving on, we ordered the Seafood Hor Fun (for those craving for an Asian delight) ($18.90) and Sliced Ribeye with Thai Basil ($13.90).
 

 

Over here, we ordered the Morrocan Roast Chicken ($18.90) and The “ROYALE” ($15.90)


                          

                          

We also ordered the Nasi Goreng Pattaya ($9.90), Grilled Fish Fillets with Creamy Mashed Potato ($9.90) on the Little diner menu, and Grilled Chicken Pesto ($17.90). For those who were wondering, Nasi Goreng Pattaya is Thai flavoured Fried Rice with Chicken & Prawn, wrapped in an omelette & topped with Sweet Chilli Sauce.



 

Lastly, we ordered the Chicken Briyani ($10.90) and the Lamb Briyani ($13.90). These were unexpectedly super tasty! I expected the curry to have a strong taste but everything turned out delicious! At such an affordable price and with a portion that was more than enough for 1 pax, this is clearly a crowd favourite from the menu.

Spize also does take aways if in a rush. They also deliver everything on their menu till the wee-hours of the morning. It is a lovely place where you can bring many friends and families. Take a break off work for blissful moments like these – Spending some time with your loved ones over dinner. Because of all the stunning qualities Spize had, it will be an ideal place for me to bring my friends along. 
Be sure to reserve a seat as this place is always full (-:

SOCIAL ENTERPISE EATERY @TIMBRE+

We have always loved the creative brains behind Timbre Group who offers us cool chill-out places with delicious food and great live music. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WITH A LOCAL TWIST? Put the archetypal hustling Singaporean-life aside and take a chill at Timbre+. It is a unique hangout location situated at the heart of Ayer Rajah Avenue. It is a place where music feeds the soul and food feeds the body.

  
 

The rustic allure of its premises is too charming to resist. An array of graffiti and spray paint art are splashed all over shipping containers and vintage Airstream travel trailers transformed into food trucks. A quirky yet intimate space that evokes the nostalgic spirit. 

This hipster hawker centre is promoting a good “return-your-own-trays” initiative – the $1 tray return system! All the trays are microchipped here. When you order food and require a tray, you have to pay a dollar extra, which you can get back when you return the tray at the centralised collection unit. 


 

The bar becomes an ideal spot for drinkers, especially when tuning in to the live music.

 

    
                           

 

  
 

  

 

  

  
What’s amazing about Timbre+ was that we could just order any food and sit anywhere we like. People often sit nearer to the stage to get the perfect view and sound system of the live band. There is a music schedule so every day, there are different bands that will be up on stage. (Do not worry, I went twice and both trips made me feel so satisfied because they sang so well!) You can also requests for songs by messaging the desired phone number. 
The reason why I chose this place is because it serves a totally different concept than other bars in Singapore. I mean look at this place! It is perfect for a catch up session alongside great music. I am sure there is rarely any places like this in Singapore especially with such a theme. It is unique and so worth coming back again.
I am sure there is truly no better way to unwind from bustling city life than spending the night here with good food and some company.

SEAFOOD @DANCING CRAB

Dancing Crab serves a mix of robust, country-style Cajun seafood and the distinctive
richness of Creole cuisine. It is a refreshing, American counterpart to Singapore's equally famed preferences for seafood, shellfish and rich flavours. Backed by one of Singapore's oldest seafood restaurant leaders, TungLok Group, Dancing Crab sources their shellfish from the same vendors used at the group's best seafood restaurants, offering a range
from Boston lobster to Dungeness crab.


What’s special about Dancing Crab is that you do not eat it on a regular plate. They provide a big sheet of plastic where you could lay it down on the table and pour out all your seafood on it. Everyone around the table will then grab what they like and munch away with their own bare hands. Of course, there are utensils and plates provided but that would just take the fun away. It is a place where you could just eat as messy as you like. Though the food there is rather expensive, it will still be worth the experience as where can you even find such a unique way to dine in Singapore? It is sure one of a kind. Every time I walked pass Dancing Crab, the queue could not get any longer. Be sure to reserve a seat beforehand! 

 

I’ve tried the Dancing Crab Shack at Timbre+ and we ordered the Sri Lankan Crab and Garlic rice (FINGER-LICKING GOOD). The reason why I chose this place is because their seafood is fresh and the sauce just goes well with it! Also, it offers a variety of seafood dish combos to choose from. If you love seafood, and don’t mind getting your hands dirty, Dancing Crab is the perfect place for families to gather for an occasion, or for a group of friends to hang out over a good meal.
