Singapore Restaurant Week
is shaking things up this time
round. From 25 October to 2 November, over 100 participating
restaurants will offer three-course meals (from $25 to $55),
where one or more courses showcases an inventive use of
chocolate – we’re not just talking dessert, either. And on 18 and
19 October, there will also be a
Kids’ Restaurant Weekend
for
the first time, with three-course menus (from $15 to $30)
tailored especially for children. (Parents, you can opt
for the Restaurant Week menu one week early or
order à la carte.)

HIGH CLASS CULINARY
If only there was a Pinterest-like website dedicated solely to food – and
someone would teach us how to make the beautiful creations pictured
in the photographs… right here in Singapore. Think you know where
we’re going with this? There is exactly that, now that
The Kitchen Society
has opened. Housed in a conservation shophouse along River Valley
Road, the company offers cooking classes (everything from choux
pastry to cake decorating and banana salted-caramel cheesecake),
recipes galore and an online store for high-quality cooking products
from brands like WMF, Silit, Kitchenaid and Magimix. 11 Kim Yam Road.
