REVOLVING
DOORS
• Formerly known (for a brief second) as
Terry’s Singapore
, Shaw Centre’s Spanish
restaurant has re-opened as

,
serving up tapas, paella and other Spanish
specialties that can be enjoyed alfresco on
the terrace. 1 Scotts Road, #02-10-11.

Rice
(the place across from Tiong Bahru

has taken over
Loo’s original 57 Eng Hoon Street space.
•

has taken over the space

NO MORE BEGGIN’
FOR BAGELS
Bagels have finally come to town, and we couldn’t
be happier. Tucked away in the Tanjong Pagar
neighbourhood,
Two Men Bagel House
is a super-
casual joint serving up hand-rolled, freshly baked
bagels – sesame, rye, onion, plain, and cinnamon
and raisin – with loads of “shmears” and toppings
like salmon dill cream cheese, Nutella spread with
pecan crumbles and various sliced meats. Popular
bagel sandwiches include the “Bird” – sliced turkey,
avocado, sweet pepper relish, veggies and aioli –
and the “Babe” – scrambled eggs, tomatoes, melted
cheese, bacon and parsley. 16 Enggor Street, #01-12
Icon Village.

FOOD FIT FOR HEROES
If you’re looking to dine among greatness, head over to
Superhero Concept
Café
, a new themed space serving health-conscious meals alongside
collectible merchandise (Batman bobblehead, anyone?), rare memorabilia
and, of course, caped crusaders in the flesh. Patrons can play superhero
with Thor’s hammer and Captain America’s shield as they enjoy wallet-
friendly food, cooked with olive oil and purified water and without any MSG,
pork or lard. The popular Battle Hunger bento ($10) is a hit with workforce
warriors, as is the Pow Wow bento ($6). You can also take on fun challenges
to reap rewards – an arm-wrestling challenge with the resident superhero,
for instance, and win a free drink; or share on social media how you plan to
save the world, and get 20 percent off. The eatery is open for dining in from
11.30am to 4pm on weekdays, with takeaway and delivery options available;
evenings and weekends are reserved for birthday parties and other private
events. 37A Boat Quay.
