In fact, I was recently planning to visit it when I found out that the restaurant is marking its first year of operations with a new menu. And after checking it out, I’m even more convinced that now is the perfect time to plan a dinner at Cavern Restaurant. Perhaps you should too!

New menu

When you visit Cavern Restaurant, you can expect a menu led by casual contemporary Western cuisine, mixed with Asian influences. The restaurant’s signature is hearth-grilled meat prepared over an open flame, so if you particularly love meat, you will probably enjoy yourself here.

Main highlights of the menu include the Jerk-Spiced Lamb Chop Pane (S$40) and the Cavern Spiced Chicken (S$32). The first is an iconic dish served with Jerusalem artichoke puree, potato cheese croquettes, and spiced pineapple, while the second is a whole spring chicken rubbed and marinated in house-blend spice, burnt lemon, and curry leaves. The chicken is then roasted until its skin reaches a perfect crisp.

For those looking for small bites or who want to start their meal with appetisers, the restaurant recommends its Fried Fish Tacos (S$18) and Salt & Pepper Squid (S$18). One promises spicy, tangy flavours with fried fish, mango strawberry salsa, and lime mayo. The other – addictive bites of deep-fried squid seasoned with salt, pepper, and curry leaf.

As always, a meal doesn’t feel complete without desserts. And at Cavern Restaurant, you can also look forward to sweet treats like What a Banana! (S$16) and Citrus Bomb (S$8). Whether you prefer a more indulgent banana chutney or a lighter lemon granita, these options will leave you delighted.

New space

Like many of us, the Cavern Restaurant also believes in the phrase, “new year, new me”. Beyond a new menu, the restaurant also now has a new after-dark arrival experience through what it calls the Oculus. This dramatic entrance is accessible after 6.30pm each day, adding even more to the already immersive dining experience.

Beyond the entrance, you will step into a space inspired by the Mulu Caves of Sarawak, filled with crystalline lights that mimic natural cave droplets. 

The next time you’re visiting Mandai Wildlife Reserve, or just feel like having a unique dining experience, consider dining at the Cavern Restaurant. It is open to all diners, including visitors who did not purchase any park tickets to the surrounding parks. For reservations, click here.

Set Lunch Menu

We tried the Next Door Spanish Cafe’s 3-course Set Lunch Menu for S$29++, available every Friday to Sunday, from 12pm to 2pm. 

Starting with the Tapas, we had the Croquetas de Calamar en su Tinta (S$12) and Coles de Bruselas (S$15). The homemade squid ink croquettes were crispy on the outside and full of seafood flavour on the inside, like a savoury burst of umami in a ball. The Brussels sprouts were tossed in honey and seasoned with paprika, giving them a mildly sweet and smoky profile.

For mains, we opted for the Callos (S$22), a slow-cooked tripe and chickpea stew with 2 slices of toasted focaccia, bold and rustic flavours, and the Lubina con Patatas (isn’t on the main menu), pan-seared seabass with confit potatoes. Otherwise, can order the Setas Paella (S$30) shared among 2 pax! We left enough space for a sweet treat, and got ourselves the Churros con Chocolate (S$12). Can you imagine? All this goodness for just S$29++!

Ala Carte Menu

If you’re heading over for lunch from Monday to Thursday, or dinner with 2 or more people, there’s a Tapas Bundle where you can order 4 tapas (2 pax) for S$59, 7 tapas (3-4 pax) for S$98, and 10 tapas (5-6 pax) for S$138. The premium selections would have an additional surcharge of either S$6 or S$12. 

A must-order would be the Pimientos del Padrón (S$15), addictive deep-fried peppers to kick-start the palate; the Croquetas de Espinaca y Piñones (S$11), homemade creamy spinach croquettes; and never skip the Alcachofas con Jamón Ibérico if you’re a fan of artichoke.

Did you really eat Spanish food if you skip the paellas? Don’t forget to indulge in their freshly crafted Fideuà Negra paella (S$38), squid-ink Spanish-style short pasta with calamari plus clams, and the Mary Montana Paella (S$38), a protein wonderland of prawns, clams, and chicken. 

Do note that the prices are subject to a service charge and GST. 

Thinking of where to eat next? Make your reservations here and experience the Next Door Spanish Cafe yourself, “Como en casa”.

Who remembers MILO Vans? The ones that show up at events, schools, or sports days, serving cold MILO on the spot, so good that you’ll even queue again for seconds. There’s often something special about the fresh-mixed, slightly frothy version served from the van that people say tastes different from the regular packet mix at home. 

MILO Van Sachets

Well, you’re in for a treat because MILO is making a comeback with their MILO Van in Sachets form! Every MILO Van Sachets Promotional Pack (S$8.95) comes loaded with a free pair of Sports Day Socks – no extra cost or minimum spend, just extra fun! 

Step-by-step Guide

To enjoy, simply add cold water just enough to dissolve, stir until smooth with no clumps, add ice, shake it 67 times like the MILO Van on the move to get it nice and frothy, and you’ll get MILO Van-quality, malty MILO right at home. Drink it right away; no waiting required.

MILO Sports Day Socks Design

Each promotional pack includes a pair of random sock designs. The collection includes 6 designs: MILO MVP, Cheerleader, Fan, NAPFA Gold, Hunters, and Repeat Queuers.

Casa Lola, the latest casual concept by FOC Group, has recently opened on Boon Tat Street, just a stone’s throw from Telok Ayer MRT station. The vibes are cosy, the hospitality warm, and the food – deliciosa.

Started by a husband-and-wife duo, Casa Lola is inspired by one of the owner’s experiences growing up in Barcelona and all the summer weekends he spent at grandma’s. Stepping into the restaurant feels like being transported to a humble neighbourhood bodega where every dish feels authentically Spanish.

Tapas, or appetisers, are a hallmark of Spanish cuisine. And at Casa Lola, you would definitely want to start your meal with one of these. From “Salmorejo” Chilled Tomato Soup (S$14) to Crispy Suckling Pig Ear with Smoked Paprika Aioli (S$15) to Lola’s Traditional Spanish Snails with Mediterranean Herbs (S$22), there’s more than enough to get your appetite going.

One is an iconic Spanish cold soup, another an appetiser you can rarely find in Singapore, and the last one a dish filled with rich, rustic flavours. No matter which you go for, it’ll be a great start to your time at Casa Lola.

When it comes to mains, you will not be disappointed with the choices too. Highlights on the menu include Grandma Lola’s Baked Macaroni Ragù (S$20) and Crispy Deboned Suckling Pig (S$36).

The former draws inspiration from comforting Spanish home-cooked meals and childhood memories. It features slow-cooked beef ragù, macaroni, and a generous serving of melted cheese – all baked to golden brown perfection. 

The latter is for those of you who love meat that is tender underneath, yet crispy and crunchy at the top. Slow-cooked overnight, the suckling pig is then carefully deboned before being served with Port wine, sweet and tangy apple, and pumpkin chutney. 

If you’re looking for something to drink or pair with your mains, Casa Lola also offers a selection of house wines, served straight from wooden barrels. You’ll get the traditional Spanish bodega experience while enjoying your wine with porrones designed for sharing.

For those with a sweet tooth, end off your meal with desserts such as the Chocolate Cake with Layers of Manjari 66% Dark Chocolate Ganache (S$18). Indulge in the chocolatey goodness that was made entirely in-house.

All in all, Casa Lola seems to be a place where you will get a complete, casual dining experience with flavours as vibrant as the culture it originated from. Visit the restaurant’s website if you’d like to reserve a table.

The post 6 new things to do on the weekend of 22 & 23 August 2026 appeared first on Confirm Good.

Sip Sip is turning up their game on Wednesday Nights with Bottomless Truffle Fries, a Live DJ Set, and 1-for-1 Cocktails from 8pm onwards till midnight. August is kicking off with pumped music and a female-led DJ lineup – DJ Highness on 19 August 2026 and DJ Gigi on 26 August 2026. 

Sip o’ Clock 

Sip and Blow Water’s signature cocktail lineup – four handcrafted pours at S$18 each. Start with the CC:MI, a clean, botanical mix of Old Tom gin, Midori, and Lillet Blanc with a fruity finish, then move into the Brainstorm, a refreshing vodka-based sip with sour plum, citrus, and cooling mint. For coffee lovers, the Coffee Cat 2.0 takes the classic espresso martini and makes it richer and smoother with pisco, Tia Maria, and Disaronno Amaretto. Finish with the Office Affairs, a bold mezcal creation wrapped in salted caramel and tropical passionfruit flirtation.

Sip & Bite

Beyond the truffle fries and cocktails, diners can also savour the other menu items from Sip Sip. Some bites worth devouring are the Hasselback Potato (S$14) topped with truffle egg salad and tobiko, perfect for all the truffle girlies out there. Another would be the classic Paella Marinera (S$19) with a mix of seafood, or the Two-Sheet Lasagna (S$22) layered with Wagyu beef ragù, both perfect for sharing, paired with the Kombu Karaage (S$15) or Maitake Fritters (S$23) served with sour cream, salsa verde, and Pecorino Romano – the best indulgence recipe.

Pasta

Baci Baci knows their pasta game, especially when it comes to seafood. Don’t miss the Cappellini al Granchio (S$34), loaded with tender king crab meat in a rich tomato sauce; the Spaghetti alle Vongole (S$32), tossed with fresh clams; or the Linguine alla Pescatora (S$34), a generous mix of seafood in every bite.

Can’t leave an Italian restaurant without a dessert fix, can you? Save some stomach space for their Tiramisu (S$18), Drunk Brulee (S$19) with Baileys, and Signature Chocolate Salami (S$18) with pistachio ice cream.
