In honour of Singapore’s 50th birthday, Edge at
Pan Pacific Singapore has introduced “Makan
Makan”, a special lunch buffet featuring an array of
Singapore heritage dishes and Peranakan favourites
like homemade laksa, fried carrot cake and kaya
toast – so now’s your chance to try all local delicacies
in one spot, minus the hawker heat. Every Saturday
from 12 noon to 2.30pm, diners can enjoy traditional
specialties such as babi ponteh (braised pork belly),
satay, Penang prawn noodle soup, fried oyster
omelette, roti prata, fish head curry and teochew
yam rice, plus a selection of desserts like durian puffs,
Portuguese egg tarts and ice kachang; there’s also a
selection of Japanese and Thai favourites. It’s $48 per
adult with unlimited local beverages, coffee and tea,
and $24 for children below 12. And, if you simply can’t
get enough of the restaurant’s five different sambals,
you can purchase the special sambal gift set at Pacific
Marketplace on Level 1 (available until 31 August for
$50). 7 Raffles Boulevard.
HERITAGE
FEAST
• The Shangri-La Hotel’s Mediterranean-inspired Waterfall
Café has been converted to Waterfall Ristorante
Italiano, a Southern Italian trattoria featuring handmade
pastas and fresh seafood dishes, under the direction
of new chef de cuisine, Marco De Vincentis. 22 Orange
Grove Road, 1/F Garden Wing, Shangri-La Hotel.
• The former Checkers Brasserie space at Hilton
Singapore (581 Orchard Road) has been transformed
into Opus Grill , a sophisticated new steakhouse
decked out in mahogany wood. Here, the meat starts
with 14 to 36 days of dry ageing in a Himalayan salt-
tiled cabinet, leaving the cuts extra juicy and flavourful.
Menu highlights include the Rangers Valley Angus Rib
Marble Score 4 and the Beef Ribeye Skewer, plus a
selection of sustainable seafood.
• Pork-centric restaurant WOLF, known for its nose-to-tail
dining concept, has closed its doors; no word yet on
what will open in its 18 Gemmill Lane space.
