HOTSPOT
The folks that brought us Burnt
Ends, Esquina and Pollen are
at it again – this time with a little
corner restaurant in historic
Everton Park HDB estate.
The
Provision Shop
is bringing
a new crowd into the sleepy
Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood,
a crowd in search of rustic
chicken, mozzarella and grilled
veggie sandwiches ($14), Nuts
About Smoked Salmon salads
($16,
shown here
), not-to-be-
missed Polish
perogis
($5) and
homemade sea-salt vanilla ice
cream.
Block 3 Everton Park.
FROM LADURÉE TO
LOUIS V
Did you know that there are nearly 400 different
types of French cheese? This is but one of the many
factoids in
So Chic
, a new guide that explores
all things French in Singapore. Published by the
French Chamber of Commerce, it reads like a local
who’s who in French gastronomy, with details and
photos about some of the island’s best French
restaurants, plus French luxury brands, beauty
products and fashion labels.
Pick up a copy at
French retailers and restaurants in Singapore,

Chamber of Commerce.
ARE YOU NOT
ENTERTAINED?
The Entertainer
is now available as an app, meaning you get the same
great one-for-one deals but without having to lug the voucher book
around. Here’s how it works: you buy the app, select a voucher, have the
merchant enter its four-digit PIN into your phone and
presto
– one of your
main courses is free. And more restaurants than ever have come on board
– places like Au Petit Salut, Il Cielo, Hummerstons, The White Rabbit,
Original Sin and The Disgruntled Chef (
below
). Buy early so you have
the entire year to save on meals, activities, spas, fitness and hotels – for
example, a free second night at a Grand Hyatt or Banyan Tree property. All
in all, there are 1,150 vouchers valued at over $150,000. The app is $95.
