But there’s encouraging news for those of you working in the CBD area: another reason to look forward to going to the office on weekdays. 11Westside, a California-Mexican restaurant, recently launched 3 weekly promotions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

11Westside is located in Asia Square Tower 1, so those of you who pass by frequently might find it familiar. The restaurant prides itself on delivering bold West Coast flavours and artisanal cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for after-work dinners or drinks.

Kicking things off on Mondays is Margarita Mondays, featuring free-flow handcrafted margaritas and bar snacks you can pair with your Mexican-inspired orders. This deal is available from 5.30pm–8pm, while stocks last. I guess it’s a nice way to beat the Monday blues for those of you who work nearby.

Taco Tuesdays then take over on the second day of the week, offering 50% off all tacos from 6pm onwards. Menu highlights include Baja Fish (S$8), Mango Shrimp (S$8), and Wagyu Beef Cheek Birria (S$18 for 2pcs). Planning a Tuesday post-work hangout with colleagues and friends doesn’t seem like such a bad idea!

Ladies, there’s also something for you to look forward to when dreaded mid-week comes. Ladies’ Night Wednesdays at 11Westside invites you to a free-flow suckling pig taco live station, and house pours for just S$9.90. 

This deal is only available between 5.30pm and 8pm, so it’s great for those of you who can leave the office early and don’t want to end your night too late. 

For those of you who would rather have a lunchtime catch-up, 11Westside also offers a 3-course Executive Set Lunch at S$48++ on weekdays. Choose a starter, a main, and a daily dessert for a complete meal. 

Beyond these new deals, 11Westside also recently revamped its regular menu, so it might really be time to check out this weekday CBD spot. Explore the full menu on the restaurant’s website.

Petra opened on 24 October 2026, welcoming diners to experience Mediterranean hospitality and flavours. Highlights include house-baked bread, seasonal salads, fresh seafood, grilled meats, and more. 

An experience that Petra wants to create for customers is open, interactive dining moments. This can be seen from a dedicated seafood counter showcasing the day’s fresh catch, a salad bar with seasonal greens and other colours, and a bread oven that produces the restaurant’s selection of Middle Eastern flatbreads.

If you’re getting one of these freshly baked breads (S$11–S$12), the restaurant recommends complementing them with its housemade mezze dips. Want a variety of flavours? Opt for the Mezze Dip Trio (S$32), which comes with hummus, matbukha, and taramasalata dips. 

For the mains, diners can explore dishes From the Sea and From the Land. A potential sharing dish would be the Whole grilled lavrak (Mediterranean sea bass) with rosemary marinade, parsley, crispy capers, and spicy plate (S$108). This signature dish can serve 3–4 people.

Those who prefer something meaty can go for the Lamb leg kofte with baharat spices and chimichurri sauce (S$32). Pair this with a drink from Petra’s wide selection of cocktails, spirits, wines, and sodas, and you’ll have a wholesome, delicious meal.

Finally, add a sweet finish to your meal with Petra’s small but mighty dessert menu. Mouth-watering items include Muhallabia baklava cream with mixed berries and crispy phyllo (S$18), and Dubai chocolate tart with white chocolate, pistachio, and kataifi (S$26).

To celebrate the 5-year mark, Hello Arigato has brought together customers’ favourites from all 6 outlets into one refreshed menu, now available at all its locations. 

One of the highlights of this menu is the Big Fish Sando (S$22), which was previously only available at Joo Chiat and Cross Street. This thick, delicious sando contains layers of crispy halibut fish katsu, pickled onions, shredded cabbage, Japanese tartar sauce, tobiko mayo, and American cheddar cheese.

Another crowd favourite featured on this menu is the Hokkaido Milk Udon Carbonara (S$20). I know, just looking at that beautiful egg yolk is mouth-watering. Order a plate, and you’ll get bite after bite of Sanuki udon tossed in miso carbonara sauce, pancetta, caramelised leeks, egg yolk, and parmesan cheese.  

Fried chicken lovers are not left out either! The Arigato Fried Chicken (S$10) is a new side in this refreshed menu, made of crispy chicken seasoned with the cafe’s 10-spice house blend.

And of course, the refreshed menu features beverages such as its best-selling matcha and coffee options. Diners can also look forward to new creations in the Coffee Series, which puts a twist on some popular classics. This includes the Snowy Mont Blanc (S$8) and the Coffee Cola Cloud (S$8). 

Whether you’re craving one of your favourite menu items at Hello Arigato or are looking to try something new, now is the best time to do so! Drop by your nearest Hello Arigato outlet and say “Hello” to some good food and good vibes.

Starting strong with their tossed Caesar Salad with crunchy romaine lettuce, grilled chicken breast, and tangy dressing. The Cotoletta di pollo is a juicy, flavourful baked chicken thigh cutlet with melted cheese. Even though the chicken skin wasn’t as crispy, it still tasted so good; we protein-maxed out and had 3 servings for ourselves! 

Moving on to the pastas, the Ravioli Ai Porcini is stuffed with earthy mushrooms and lathered in a delicate, creamy truffle sauce and basil oil. We won’t judge if you went for second servings, third, or even a fourth serving, because this was our personal favourite dish! Best eaten when served piping hot. 

Mezze Maniche e Mulignana is vegetarian-friendly, a tomato-based pasta with aubergines, ricotta, and basil. This is definitely on the lighter side compared to the Ravioli Ai Porcini, almost like a comforting summer pasta. 

Think aglio e olio, but reimagined into a pizza. The Aglio e Olio Pizza Cartwheel definitely nailed down the flavour of garlic-forward, thin-crusted pizzas! Made with simple ingredients, the freshness really shone through with a mellow, aromatic fragrance and a nice char on the crust – leaving no crust behind. We also tried the Pesto Basilico, an iconic Italian flavour with pine nuts and basil pesto that shares a similar crust to Aglio e Olio Pizza.

For something meatier, Diavola alla Nonno Enzo is the pizzeria’s signature contemporary pizza, served with spicy Napoli salami and a rich tomato base. The crust is light and airy with a puffy edge that isn’t too thick. 

Dolci O’clock calls for Cioccolato and Pistachio gelato. Prefer something rich and intense? Opt for the chocolate flavour that is sweet enough to make your dentist nervous. If moderation and “not too sweet” is your thing, go for the nutty Pistachio instead.  

Make your lunch reservations here for the best bottomless Italian Lunch away from the CBD area for just $28++ – guaranteed to leave with a satisfied belly and food coma.

Monday Wine Down

Rough day at work? Well, KPO is here to chase away your Monday blues with a glass of house pour wine at just S$8++. Even better, choose from any of their 6 house pours ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Pinot Grigio, and a couple more! As classic as it can get, wine calls for meat – Sliced Beef Tenderloin (S$33) and Garlic Prawn Spaghetti (S$21). 

Martini O’Clock

And for the lady, perhaps a salad? Perhaps not! Ladies can get 3 complimentary Martinis every Wednesday, from 8pm to 11pm! Assemble your girls for free martinis, Pop or Mandopop music by DJ Chris L, and the best of all, good vibes only. Pair it with their Fat Mini Chicken Burgers (S$16), a light canapé, fried Chicken Wings (from S$20), and Calamari (S$20), or Brussels Sprouts (S$16) for gut health – the perfect bite-sized plates for sharing! 

1-for-1 Beer 

No plans this Saturday? Text the group chat and gather the boys for a thirst-quenching beer on tap all night long! KPO’s 1-for-1 Beer Promotion is so back, only on Saturdays, and no better excuse to unwind into the weekend. Hold a chilly pint in your left hand and a slice of thin-crust pizza in your right: Pizza Yorkshire (S$26) or Pizza Bruschetta (S$25). Stay longer with the clique and end your night off with their Chocolate Mudpie (S$14) to celebrate KPO’s sweet deal. 

Simply walk in or book a table here! See you soon!

Sip into Ume

The TC Sonic (S$16) pairs CHOYA with soda and tonic, with fresh ume for a nice tartness. The CHOYA Martini (S$20) is more playful, replacing the traditional olive with ko-ume, a sharply tangy flavour with a fragrant aroma. 

If you prefer a sweeter concoction, the C4D is a CHOYA Cookie Cheese Cake Drink (S$28). Definitely a dessert-in-a-cocktail to indulge in, paired with B&W Cheesewich – curated food-and-drink pairings available at the bar. The Golden Rod (S$28) also comes in a non-alcoholic version; otherwise, it’s perfect if you’re looking for something stronger yet refreshing, paired with Hamachi Tropical Ceviche. 

Ume on the Plate

Each ume-inspired dish brings something different to the table – the Grilled Pork Jowl (S$12) delivers salty depth with its ume yakiniku glaze, while the Grilled Chicken Skewers (S$28) shine with a glossy ume sherry glaze. For a contemporary spin, their 4-Cheese Lasagna is layered with earthy slices of zucchini and nasu (eggplant) that will soak up the goodness of ume béchamel and tomato ragout. 

Whether it’s a casual night out or a private celebration, The CHOYA Ginza Bar Singapore has you covered. Reserve here, or visit their website to learn more about hosting group events.

What I got was one of the tastiest plates of nasi lemak I’ve had in recent memory, and one of the most expensive. I mean, when you first see an S$18 price tag on a familiar coconut rice dish, you might get taken aback like me too.

But did I enjoy the nasi lemak? I definitely did. 

That is why, when we had the chance to visit Wild Coco’s latest flagship restaurant at Jewel Changi Airport, I was curious. I wanted to see whether the food is still worth it and if anything’s new. Keep reading to find out what we enjoyed, and see for yourself if the food justifies the price!

Premium versions of local favourites

If you’ve ever been to any of Wild Coco’s outlets, you’ll find what’s popular still here at Jewel. This includes their Premium Laksa (S$17.90), Ayam Berempah Leg (S$12.90), and Chao Ta Chee Cheong Fun (S$16.90). 

One of my personal highlights has to be the Premium Laksa. The rich, creamy broth was umami goodness at its best. Top that off with a generous serving of tau pok, fish cakes, and noodles absorbing all that savoury gravy, and you get pure bliss.

For someone weak at spice, the Premium Laksa wasn’t spicy for me, but that’s also because I didn’t add in the sambal chilli provided. If you prefer more spice, feel free to mix that in.

Jewel-exclusive dishes

Of course, we can’t talk about Wild Coco without mentioning their variety of signature nasi lemak dishes. There are actually more than 10 options to choose from, including the Jewel-exclusive Ayam Bakar Nasi Lemak (S$20.90).

If you’re wondering – yes, the nasi lemak still hits. I tried the outlet exclusive and was once again reminded of what has always stood out to me at Wild Coco – the fragrant coconut rice. Honestly, if you just served me a bowl of it, I’d be happy to eat it on its own.

Combine that with the charcoal-grilled chicken leg that has a sweet, crispy exterior and the sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk, and you get a dish that kinda earns its “premium” status and price. But of course, that is entirely subjective and up to personal taste.

Other Jewel-exclusive dishes include starters such as Kueh Pie Tee (S$18.90) and Squid Bloom (S$21.90). Those familiar with Peranakan cuisine would recognise the first and its crispy rice puffs. What makes it special here is that it’s served with fresh prawns.

I personally enjoyed the second a lot more than I expected. It is exactly what its name sounds like – a bunch of squid presented like a flower bloom. These barbecued pieces of squid were so tender and easy to enjoy. If you hate rubbery, tough squid, you will not find that here.

One more outlet exclusive I have to mention is the CoCo J (S$12.90) drink. It’s more than just an aesthetic-looking beverage; it actually tastes really good. On the outside, you’ll see a blue-and-white drink with an orchid on top. But what you’re really getting is a coconut shake topped with light sky-blue yoghurt and coconut cubes.

The mixture of slightly sour yoghurt, sweet coconut shake, and small chewy cubes creates a balanced blend of flavours that is sweet enough, but not too much. For those of you who prefer maximum sweetness, perhaps the Gula Melaka Coconut Shake (S$11.90) would suit your taste better.

View of the Jewel Rain Vortex

Beyond the food, another reason that makes visiting Wild Coco at Jewel a compelling choice is its setting. Stepping into the restaurant feels like entering a lush, Singapore-inspired tropical environment – without the heat.

At the same time, you can get a clear view of the Jewel Rain Vortex, which provides a beautiful backdrop for your dining experience. For occasions that call for a special meal or a nature-inspired gathering, this is a spot to consider.

New Menu Items 

Kick-start your palate with the Cirash Salad (S$18), with diced sashimi, cherry tomatoes and fish roe, bringing together a bright, robust appetiser. The Maguro Yamakake Tartare (S$18) is perfect for seafood lovers, with marinated tuna tartare. 

USHIO’s cocktails are no stranger to Japanese culture, from Sake Highball (S$20) to The Chain (S$24) for something sweet and sour, to the Bad Moon Rising (S$24), with sake, Cointreau, and lime cordial. These would pair well with the Unagi Manju (S$16), which sits inside a deep-fried bun, great for indulging; the Crispy Mapo Tofu Bites (S$12), delivering an intense contrast of textures and a complex, fiery flavour profile; and the King Crab Tempura (S$20), which can never go wrong with the crowd.

If seafood isn’t for you, go for the Grilled Teriyaki Kurobuta Pork (S$26), paired with vegetables and salsa for a great balance, or if you’re feeling atas, the Yaki Beef Short Rib (S$70) is ideal for sharing. 

Sips for Sharing

USHIO’s new lineup focuses on Japanese sake and cocktails designed for conversations that stretch and friendly drinking with good company. Their premium batching cocktails at S$85 are made to be shared with unique names, from the Moment of Truth to Paid in Full and Bourbons & Lacs. 

Ushio Sumiyaki & Sake Bar is the perfect spot for after-work decompression and sake-led evenings. Whether you’re here to catch up with your friends or enjoy a romantic evening, there’s something for everyone.

So, together with a colleague, we recently dropped by Chin Mee Chin at NEX, its new and only establishment outside its original outlet at Katong. And here are my thoughts after trying it for the first time.

Located near Exit E of Serangoon MRT Station, Chin Mee Chin is one of the first establishments visitors to NEX will see. The interiors carry a sense of nostalgia, with walls and floor tiles reminiscent of classic kopitiams.

The perk of having a buddy with you is being able to try a range of items on the menu and not feel like you over-ordered. We went for the Kaya Toast (S$6.50 with a set), Choux au Craquelin (S$3), Ham & Cheese Danish (S$3.60), and Smashed Fried Chicken with Sambal Sandwich (S$8.80).

The highlight for me was definitely the Smashed Fried Chicken with Sambal Sandwich. This surprised me as I was expecting a classic like Kaya Toast to stand out, especially since it’s been on the menu for years and has had time to be perfected.

Instead, what left me wanting more was this modern creation that looks like it could come from any of your favourite fast food restaurants. The chicken had a crunchy exterior and a juicy, tender interior, while also being seasoned nicely all the way through.

Combined with a savoury sauce, tomatoes and lettuce, every bite was a flavourful delight. However, despite the “sambal” name, this burger was nowhere near being spicy. It’s perfect for someone like me who can’t take spice, but for those looking for a kick, you might not find the heat you want.

Another item that pleasantly surprised me was the Choux au Craquelin. We tried both the Dark Chocolate and Kaya Custard flavours. The best way I can describe it is that it’s the sum of the best parts of a polo bun and a cream puff.

The outside is crispy, while the inside is soft and filled with sweet, delicious cream. I definitely preferred the Dark Chocolate, with its cold, rich, smooth ganache-like filling. For those looking for a sweet surprise that is not too overwhelming, this is for you.

Chin Mee Chin at NEX is certainly a welcome addition to the mall, though I would love to check out the original Katong outlet someday too. If you live near Serangoon and want to find a cosy corner for breakfast, a tea break, or a meal at any point of the day, consider visiting Chin Mee Chin!

The new concept allows you to build your own cup with any of your favourite toppings from a selection of 12, ranging from Korean snacks to nuts and sweets, over tofu gelato, available only at Waterway Point and Suntec City outlets.

The selection goes beyond the usual topping staples. Instead, it is inspired by the Korean snack aisle with Injeolmi, Joripong, and Yakgwa, alongside 5 variations of nuts, dried cranberries, marshmallows, puffed rice, and tempeh chips for a mouthful of texture and crunch. 

Simply order a cup of gelato in any flavour for S$8 – Original Tofu, High-Protein Tofu, Black Sesame, Pomegranate, Pistachio, or Chocolate. For an additional S$2, you can mix and match any of the toppings at the toppings bar during one visit. A fully loaded cup with no weighing or counting required comes to S$10, regardless of how much you add to your gelato. 

Not sure where to start? Every topping at the station comes with a suggested gelato pairing, so you’ll never be stuck guessing. Our personal favourites were the Yakgwa, which went well with the Promegrante flavour, and the Joripong with the High-Protein Tofu. 

Apart from gelato, both outlets also carry Tofu Pudding (S$6) in 3 flavours: Original Tofu, Pistachio, and Black Sesame; Tofu Tiramisu (S$10) in Injeolmi, Cocoa, and Matcha; and Butter Tteok (S$9), which we recommend in the Injeolmi flavour! These are great options for takeaways or desserts to bring for a potluck gathering.
