With restaurants easing up on in-house dining restrictions, many of us are craving to have a bite with our friends and going out on dinner dates. Your go-to eateries will always be there to serve your favourite dishes, but with the rare opportunity to eat out, take a chance in trying something new instead.
The heart of Lorong Chuan has a new mall that boasts a long list of restaurants to try out. International cuisine is just the tip of the iceberg at NTP+, which has famous chef restaurants, hipster cafes and must-try gelato too.

A trip to The Social Alley might be just the ideal venue if you are hungry for an extensive menu and thirsty for bespoke cocktails.
The myriad of Western offerings has influences from other Asian cuisines. A fusion of east meets west seamlessly combines in dishes like the Mentaiko Pasta ($26) topped generously with codfish roe, salmon roe, and black lumpfish caviar. There’s also the Morning Glory Pizza ($18), a handmade thin crust pizza topped with mushrooms, sunnyside egg, truffle oil and fresh salad as toppings.
Their creatively designed menu is best paired with their selection of cocktails, shaken up by their award-winning mixologist.

On the surface, there isn’t much that can be done to modernise Chinese cuisine with its extensive history behind it. But Clan 7 does a current spin on it with its menu by Dee Chan, an award-winning chef.
The menu might contain familiar sounding dishes, but diners will be surprised at the flavours Chef Chan is able to create. At the top of the must-try list is the Black Garlic Steamed Garoupa Fillet ($29) and Sichuan-style Marinated Chicken ($14). Both dishes are crowd favourites that pair well with rice. There is the Char-baked Rice with Lobster and Crispy Rice ($60), a fresh take on claypot rice with interesting textures.

Workaholics will know the feeling of having to blaze through lunch hour without any time to take a small breather to eat. As much we would like the luxury of dining in, grab-and-go food is a necessity to fall back on our busiest days.
Red Hotpack takes the stress out of knowing what to dapao with their takeaways of Asian rice and noodle bowls. Meals like the Original Pork Rice Bowl ($8.75) and Honey Grilled Salmon Bowl ($10.95) offered in rice and noodle options, provide balanced portions of proteins, carbs and greens to ensure a healthy diet.
For a limited time only from now till 30th September 2021, you can get an exclusive offer of the Salmon Bowl at only $9.95.

There are few things Singaporeans can’t say ‘no’ to, and one of them is bubble tea. From the subtle sugar rush to the chewiness of the pearls, bubble tea is an irresistible thirst quencher in our tropical weather. Enter FiNE TEA!, Singapore’s first bubble tea and gelato concept store in Singapore that offers more than 50 drinks and 20 gelato flavours on its menu.
The store is the first to debut Longjing tea in Singapore and serves affordable Longjing specialties like Grape Long Jing ($4.20) and its signature Rosy Phoenix ($8.30), which is blended with premium ingredients like brewed rose buds and bird’s nest. Other unique ingredients used that you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere in Singapore include Ironbark Honey and Black Goji Berries.
If you’re in need of a colder treat on sweltering days, go for the gelato, which are made in small batches daily. The list of flavours includes unique ones like Vietnamese Coffee, Oreo Cheese, and their specialty Longjing tea too.
