W
ith Editor Justin Eeles on holiday I
am delighted to step into his shoes
for an issue and bring you up to date
with Singapore’s latest events and
developments as we fast approach yet
another festive season!
The island is still recovering from the madness of the

Formula One whirlwind that hit town in September, as not
only the speed boys but a whole raft of celebrities, singers,
dancers, musicians and race fans hit town to enjoy what
has to be the biggest F1 Party in the world!
But with the island’s dedication to exceptional events

there’s a whole lot more coming before the great Orchard
Road Light Up takes the shopping experience into another
dimension!
First there’s Women’s tennis Association (WTA) Finals on

the 23rd to 30th October featuring the world’s top eight lady tennis players, which includes an
up-close-and-personal Fan Festival.
Second there’s the Singapore River Festival at the beginning of November with bands,
performers, carnival attractions and the spectacular Tight Rope Performance!
Then there’s Swan Lake in November, the dusk to dawn revelry of Zouk Out in December,
the four month Biennale Art exhibition, the fantastic Merry Medleys at Gardens by the Bay
and just about every mall, hotel, shop, gallery, restaurant and club participating in the whole
Festive Season program island wide!
So events are not your scene?

Fortunately in this issue we have a whole wonderful selection of calmer and more serene
things to do! We explore the lesser known a districts of Singapore, Katong and Joo Chiat,
enjoy the Malay culture in Kampong Glam, then visit the exceptional Botanic Gardens which
are not just full of plants but full of history as well.
We also meet some real Singapore characters, indulge and find out which are the very best
hotels on the island and to wrap up a huge issue, we find fitness and health in the boot camps
and spas, do some shopping and finally end up in some of Singapore’s beautiful green spots.
Now if you can’t enjoy your time in Singapore with all this great advice I will be very surprised.
Have a great time.

Soaking in the Singapore Sun
with the Sasonos
Spend five minutes with celebrity couple Dwi Sasono and Widi Mulia, and you will soon realise that nothing is
more important to the pair than family. The charming actor and his quirky singer-wife are proud parents to three
bubbly, highly energetic children, Dru Prawiro, Widuri Putri and Den Bagus. But between juggling their hectic
schedules and meeting the demands of parenthood, the striking duo can barely manage to catch a breather.
So when a slot freed up on both mum and dad’s diaries last month, the family jumped at the opportunity to pack
their suitcases, and took a long-awaited holiday with the rest of the Sasono pack. Their destination of choice?
“Why, Singapore of course! For its proximity, ease of navigation and countless family-friendly attractions!”
quipped Widi. We caught up with the Sasonos to hear what else they had to say.
“Our recent trip to Singapore was very special to us. It’s been a while From the moment they landed at Singapore’s Changi Airport on Day 1,
since we’ve taken a trip together as a family of five. Plus, it was also our the Sasonos wasted no time in starting their adventure. First up was

we were pretty excited to introduce some of these to him,” said Dwi. the National Gallery. The centre is well-known for its arts education
facilities, dedicated to stimulating children’s interests in art.
Nevermind that the trip took place during the recent Zika epidemic―
the family did not allow it to detract their plans to explore the Little Then, it was time for some outdoor fun onboard Duck Tour’s
Red Dot. “The Zika issue did not change our minds to visit Singapore, amphibious vehicle, which allowed for a city-tour both in and out of

kids on a ride on the Mega-Zip! We were pretty much convinced that
Singapore remained safe for visitors,” said mom, Widi. Day 2 saw the adventurous family take on various indoor and outdoor
sports on Sentosa Island―from iFly (an indoor skydiving facility),
to Flowrider, where the kids had some flowboarding fun under the
watchful eyes of Widi and Dwi. But the excitement was far from
over, as the family of five stopped by Kidzania and Mosh! for some
educational fun, before heading down to Arteastiq, a boutique tea
house cum art-jam studio. By Day 3, the kids were all psyched up
for their visit to Universal Studios Singapore and Marine Cove at East
Coast Park, home to various sensational rides and a three-storey play
lighthouse respectively.
So after three consecutive days of family fun, what did Dad have to say
about the trip? “We definitely had a blast with the kids in Singapore! As
parents, we’re constantly encouraging Dru, Widuri and Den Bagus to
try their hands at new experiences, and we’re happy to see them learn
and grow with each such experience. Widi and I can’t wait to head
back again, just so we can strike off more must-try places on our list.
We strongly encourage other parents to explore Singapore and enjoy
its quality, kids-friendly offerings, just like we did!”

There’s something to

getting better with newly

transportation facilities and
loads of choices for a few

S.E.A. Aquarium
To label this popular attraction as just an aquarium would be a
major disservice. If the weather outside is wet, this is a fantastic
place to while away a few hours – to get the most of the place we’d
recommend spending at least half a day. Apart from the impressive
series of enormous tanks and walk-through aquariums, brimming
with exotic marine life from across the region and beyond, the S.
E. A. Aquarium offers a fascinating selection of interactive shows,
exhibits and talks. For the young this is a magical wonderland – it’s
hard to move on from some of the displays they are so mesmerizing.
The most impressive viewing tank, the Ocean Gallery, sits like
a huge cinema screen, with seats and relaxing music providing the
ideal environment to escape the modern world outside and get
lost in a soothing subterranean one. Watching the sharks, manta
rays and stingrays glide effortlessly through the water, surrounded
by a myriad colourful fish is an almost hypnotic experience. There
are 18 million litres of water in this tank, which is home to over
50,000 marine animals.
Elsewhere, look out for the amazing jellyfish tanks, the
eccentric seahorses and the massive goliath grouper, just some of
the 800 species on display throughout the S. E. A. Aquarium.
The collection of marine life originates from an area spanning
ten different time zones, following the trade routes taken from
South East Asia to India, China, Africa and beyond, with each area
of ocean covered in detail. These include the Strait of Karimata
and Java Sea, the Strait of Malacca and Andaman Sea, the Bay
of Bengal and Laccadive Sea, the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea,
the Red Sea, the South China Sea and the waters off East Africa.
Highlights include the Shark Seas, where visitors walk through an
aquarium teeming with a variety of sharks, including the nurse
shark, the black-tipped reef shark, the grey reef shark and the
clumsy looking hammerhead.
Determined to be a centre of education and preservation
as well as an attraction, the aquarium offers a series of ‘learning
adventures’ for the young. These are aimed at raising awareness
about the importance of the ocean to future generations so
students have a greater understanding of subjects like conservation
and the environment.
To get the most out of your visit, we’d advise setting aside
a good four to five hours so you can really enjoy the displays
without feeling you have to rush. If you feel like having lunch at the
aquarium, Ocean Restaurant by Cat Cora offers magnificent views
of the Open Ocean aquarium while you eat. Helmed by Singapore’s
first female Iron Chef, this fine dining establishment will complete
an unforgettable experience at S. E. A. Aquarium.

Madame Tussauds Singapore and Images of Singapore
One of the newest attractions in Sentosa is Madame Tussauds, the latest opening in their empire of waxwork
museums across the world. Like all Madame Tussauds, there is an impressive collection of wax figures, depicting
famous politicians, sports personalities and A-list actors. On display here are some Singaporean heroes, as well
as popular favourites from across the region like Bruce Lee, Yao Ming and Jackie Chan. Selfie addicts will have a
field day with so many willing participants – you can even create your own special photo moment by dressing up
with the provided accessories! Feel like wheeling ET out for a ride? Go ahead! The newest figure on show is the
Singapore Girl, the second time this much-loved iconic figure has graced the halls of Madame Tussauds, but the
first time in Asia. The current model still works for Singapore Airlines, so you never know when your paths may
cross. Some figures on display here are more lifelike than others – we were sure there was an actor posing in one
of the halls to fool visitors but of course, we were mistaken.
If you plan to visit Madame Tussauds, we highly recommend enjoying the connected Images of Singapore
attraction during your visit, preferably beforehand. This interactive actor-led journey through the history of
Singapore, tracing its growth from muddy swamp to world fi nancial capital, is great fun, informative and timed
perfect to entertain even the most easily distracted children.

MegaZip Adventure Park

If you’ve enjoyed the adrenaline thrills available at the Luge Skyline Sentosa but want to (literally)
take it up a notch, head up to MegaZip Adventure Park. Here you can practice your climbing skills,
experience a ParaJump and elevate yourself in an acrobatic extravaganza on the MegaBounce
trampoline. The highlight though is the MegaZip ride from the summit of Imbiah Hill to the beach.
Travelling at speeds of up to 60kph over the jungle canopy, this is a sure way to reawaken your spirit
of adventure and should defi nitely be tried. If you’re not content with only one ride, do it again
straight away for only $20! - Terms and conditions apply.

famed Peranakan district in Katong and Joo Chiat,
to Little India and of course, Chinatown.
When it comes to Singapore’s Malay community,
there’s no other place quite like Kampong Glam
and the famed Haji Lane. Historically named after
the gelam tree that used to grow prevalently

Recently, the French liquor house, La Maison

Cointreau, launched a global initiative
aimed at empowering women to believe
in their dreams, fostering a community of
support specifically for women by women.
The campaign centred on what it means
to be a successful female entrepreneur/
artist, forging your own path in the world.
Here we interview two participants in the
campaign, Tracy Phillips and Amanda
Wong. Tracy Phillips has been an advocate
for creativity and entrepreneurship for
many years and hopes to be more involved
in building such communities of support in
Singapore. Amanda Wong is an emerging
photographer who is looking to hone her
talents further by travelling around the world,
documenting her journey through her lens.
NS: How do you think the Cointreau Creative Crew can

help aspiring creative people?
TP: As a platform that brings creative people from
different industries together, the Cointreau Creative Crew
is a great opportunity to learn from each other, be inspired
and broaden perspectives. It’s also a form of recognition
for the work that these women have achieved so far and
we hope it will invite further collaborations between them
and the new audiences they are exposed to through each
event.
NS: Why do you think such initiatives are important?

TP: Being a creative often involves being in your own head
a lot so having real life engagement with peers, especially
those from other industries helps to foster solidarity,
develop sounding boards and fresh solutions, all useful
tools for any creative to keep improving on their craft.
NS: What are the strengths of a creative community?

TP: It’s the creative community that usually champions
new and improved ways of doing things and experiencing
the world. It has innovation, curiosity and expression
all built into it. These are the influences that make for a
better world.
NS: Who is the biggest inspiration in your life and why?

TP: I’ve never had a mentor but I am very encouraged
by everyday people and acts of kindness and those who
champion for positive change and inclusiveness. I believe
that everyone can make a difference because it’s how we
relate to each other day to day, that most impacts people’s
lives. We are all influencers.

NS: What has been your highlight of 2016 so far?

AW: It’s definitely my first-ever solo photography
exhibition that the Cointreau Singapore team and I put
together. I’m more than thankful for all the positive
feedback we’ve received! It’s been great to have such
a platform for me to support my creative vision and
aspirations. It’s been a whirlwind journey and I’m so
thankful for all the support I’ve received to make it happen.
NS: How has the Cointreau Creative Crew helped you as

an artist?
AW: Being part of the Cointreau Creative Crew
encouraged me to be the mistress of my own fate and to
always challenge myself and through that, it has inspired
me and driven me to look for fresh projects to work on.
In turn, I’m also going to auction off the photos from my
exhibition to raise funds for a bursary to support other
aspiring artists out there. It’s good to have a community to
allow us to support each others’ growing talents.
NS: Why do you think such initiatives are

important? What are the strengths of a creative
community?
AW: When I was just starting out as an artist, having a
support system of family, friends and mentors whether big
or small, was a huge encouragement for me to keep going.
I believe that forming such a community for fellow artists is
extremely crucial, and offers a good platform to bounce off
ideas from one another while keeping yourself surrounded
with like-minded people.
NS: Who is the biggest inspiration in your life and why?

AW: The mountains and the seas, the singing of the birds,
the sound of rain, Mother Nature, the world around me
inspires me the most.
NS: How do you hope to continue your career path and

where would you like to be in five years time?
AW: I’m constantly finding new avenues for my creativity
so I can’t be certain what I’ll be doing in five years. I’d
definitely still want to do creative work though, but I’ll
follow my heart and see where life takes me!

NS: How has Singapore changed since you first moved here? What do you
think is the single greatest achievement the city-state has accomplished in the
last decade?
PF: Singapore has seen some extremely rapid developments in recent years.
The opening of the integrated resorts and casinos has been one of the most
significant moves. It shook up the hospitality industry and introduced new
markets to the city. The integrated resorts were also strategised to target both
leisure and corporate travellers. Resorts World Sentosa caters more to the
leisure market, with a host of family-friendly facilities and attractions, while
Marina Bay Sands attracts more of the M.I.C.E business.
 
NS: What were the highlights for you during the last few years?
PF: SG50 was a major highlight here in Singapore as it was a year full of
celebrations throughout the city. Here at Royal Plaza on Scotts, we held
fundraising activities for Community Chest, a charity for the less
privileged. The Singapore government generously matched the amount
we raised dollar-for-dollar, which was a great success.
but of course every year has events nearly as glamourlous as SG50
and 2016 is no exception!

NS: Where will you be spending the festive season? Is Singapore
a good destination at this time?
PF: I will be spending the festive season in Singapore.
Singapore is a great place to be for all big festivities including
Lunar New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali and Christmas.
You can immerse yourself in a melting pot of cultures for a
unique experience.
NS: What will Royal Plaza on Scotts be offering

during the holiday period?

little creation. Ingredients are well matched, constantly evolving. Whilst we have not yet had

the opportunity to sample what delights have
arisen come Spring, if the Winter degustation is
any indicator, diners are in excellent hands.
We began our epicurean foray with what
was easily the most voluptuous Irish oyster we
have had the pleasure of slurping in Singapore.
A gamble of a slightly unconventional garnish
of lemon, ginger and pomelo yielded very
high rewards. Next, a delicately sweet body of
Amebi (sweet shrimp) camouflaged amongst a
reef of yuzu, apple, and ikura, contrasted with
the umami of its perfectly crisp head.
Paying tribute to Chef Sun Kim’s Korean
background, the Wagyu Beef Tartare embodied
a reconstruction of a traditional Korean
‘bibimbap’, where the beef took shelter beneath
a nest of crisp, puffed rice, supported by egg
yolk spheres and pear kimchi. As is traditional
with its namesake, the ingredients were jumbled
together to create an admittedly less attractive
but far more flavourful bite. Not to the same
calibre as the tartare was the Slow Cooked
Grass Fed Beef Short Rib. While masterfully
cooked, with each morsel of meat melting on
the tongue, its accompanying parsnip puree
and pickled oyster mushroom simply lacked the
collective impact of other courses.
It is clear that Meta excels when it comes
to handling seafood. A deceptively humble-
sounding course of Sea Bass, grilled and left
floating atop a delicate broth studded with
clams and fregola pasta, was simply beautiful
and perhaps one of our favourite courses.
Proving once again that sometimes simple is
best; the quality of each ingredient was left to
speak for itself.
As for dessert – each of pastry chef Tammy
Mah’s creations are modern and exciting.
Her rendition of a ‘Cheesecake,’ presented
as a golden-yellow ‘bonbon’, encasing a rich
filling, was visually impressive and light on
the palate. Whilst playing with liquid nitrogen
may be considered a bit passé nowadays and a
potentially shallow attempt at a bit of ‘razzle-

dazzle’ to some, Mah’s ability to channel
plenty of flavour alongside the ‘fun’ is a skill
not to be underestimated.
The food aside, easily the most remarkable
thing about an experience here is the staff’s
attention to detail and nuanced approach to
every customer. A simple passing remark of
beginning to feel full saw the kitchen prepare a
lighter alternative to a potentially heavy dessert.
A diner’s dietary restrictions are treated more as
an opportunity for the chef to get a little creative
than as a dampener on your experience.
To capture Meta in an oyster shell, it is a
restaurant that takes pride in executing every
little thing as perfectly as possible. While the
restaurant may still be finding its feet in terms
of its ‘culinary identity’ on this competitive
street, we think the tight-knit and young men
and women in the kitchen are out to raise a
few eyebrows.

One Farrer Hotel And Spa

A relatively new addition to Singapore’s hotel
scene, this hotel is truly making waves as one
of the leading lifestyle destinations on the
island. The urban, five-star resort possesses
everything from 24-hour gym facilities, an
Olympic-sized swimming pool as well as
unique features like their Japanese onsens (hot
spring baths) and a reflexology water walk, all
nestled in their Lifestyle Podium. And those
are just for starters… head to the Spa Retreat

waxing services, as well as packages designed
specifi cally for men.

The Singapore Resort and

Spa Sentosa
Nestled in the tropical surroundings of Sentosa, So SPA has
created a world of its own, blending the best of ancient
spa traditions from destinations like Turkey and Hawaii
for the ultimate spa experience. While guests can enjoy
favourites like the Deep Tissue Oriental Massage (aimed
at removing inner blockages, reducing tension and fatigue
and eliminating toxins), there’s far more on offer at the
hotel’s spa grounds than what’s on the menu. After your
treatment, take time to enjoy the Outdoor Spa Garden
Facilities too. Leave your stresses behind as you get lost in
The Labyrinth or clear your head with a soak in The Mud
Pool, on the mats in The Float Pool or a casual swim in the
spa’s regular pool.

If Singapore is the garden city then

PARKROYAL on Pickering is the city’s
garden hotel. Located in between
Marina Bay and Chinatown, just a
short stroll to the Central Business
District, this impressive structure has
been winning awards for its dynamic
architecture and strict environmental
position since opening its door in 2013.

W
ith an exterior inspired by the curves of
Asia’s iconic terraced rice paddies and a
clean designed spacious interior, the hotel’s
bountiful plant life provides a natural
reflection to the park located at its front.
Inside, water features, natural wood and
stone complete the calming environment – you could be checking
into a Bali resort.
The Orchid Club Suite here is an extension of this relaxing aura
– high ceilings, acres of room and an interior that’s part Swedish
health resort and part high tech zen minimalism. And did we mention
the view? At the touch of a button, blinds raise to afford guests
180-degree views of the cityscape through the enormous floor to
ceiling windows. Spread over two spacious rooms and a generous
bathroom with rain shower and large tub, this light-filled space
features two flat-screen televisions, intelligent touch lighting, free wifi
and a well-stocked minibar. Drinking water is purified in-house and
presented in large glass bottles, no wastage here with water pressure
specially adjusted to prevent unnecessary harm to the environment.
That’s not to say you can’t enjoy your Elemis toiletries without an
invigorating rain shower, you most certainly can.
Orchid Club guests have access to the Lounge, where
champagne breakfast, high tea and evening cocktails are served
daily. If like me, your idea of the perfect breakfast is a freshly
baked croissant (worth mentioning as here they are up there
with the best in town), gourmet Echiré butter, French jam, freshly
squeezed orange juice and quality coffee, then you’ll feel right at
home here. Oh and a complimentary glass of champagne to get
the day started in fi ne fashion as well as fresh fruits, eggs and a
spread of international delicacies. Alternatively head down to Lime
restaurant on the ground floor where an extensive buffet spread
at breakfast, lunch and dinner make this one of the most popular
locations in the city for a gastronomic splurge. To work it off , head
to the pool level where a walking/jogging track takes you through
the hotel’s lush elevated gardens on a breezy circuit of green or

Koji Sushi Bar

Koji Sushi Bar serves donburi (which literally translates
to ‘bowl’) rather than a contemporary ‘lunch bowl’;
nevertheless, this place deserves a special mention. Its spot
on Nankin Row isn’t the easiest to find but a dead giveaway
is the line of knackered office workers that wilfully prolong
their hunger pangs in order to satisfy their Koji-cravings.
Inside, bar stools line the sushi counter as chefs slice, dice
and prep every item to order. A remarkable feat for such
a tight, little space, especially given the high demand. For
such modest quarters, the quality of the food produced gets
two thumbs and a toe up from us.
While the menu offers up premium nigiri sushi and
sashimi sets (and omakase at dinner), we’re in love with
the Sashimi Rice Bowl. It may look deceptively small,
but the thick cubes of seasoned, mixed sashimi (salmon,
swordfish, tuna and ikura), crunchy tempura flakes and
rice will definitely fill you up, especially with the miso
soup and a side salad that comes with every order. For a
little extra moolah, make lunch a decadent affair with a
portion of rich and creamy uni (sea urchin) for $8 more.
The Salmon Avocado Tartare, Salmon and Roe and Tuna
Tartare rice bowls are hard to fault too but if you’re aching
for heartier fare, the Pork Cheek, Eel or Wagyu Sukiyaki
and Gohan (raw egg on rice) are sure to hit the spot.

May May
Hidden in an elegant, colourful little shophouse on Tanjong Pagar’s Tras
Street, May May is a respite from the overshadowing, grey skyscrapers
overhead. Inside, the space is delightfully bright and airy, with a living
green wall and sunrays flooding in through the skylight. More a full-
fledged restaurant than a ‘lunch bowl’ eatery, it makes for a lovely dinner
venue too, with rich bowls of Lobster Noodles in coconut broth, Oven
Roasted Chilean Sea Bass with celeriac and Spiced Lamb with quinoa,
pickled papaya and okra. However, in the daytime, May May serves up
five unique bowls that range from healthy to straight up sinful, with well-
prepared proteins championing each dish. Choose between slow-cooked
Beef Rendang, Red Chilli Chicken or Braised Pork Belly if you’re really
looking for a treat. Though if you need to power through the afternoon
sans siesta (without a nap, that is), the lighter choices of Butter Poached
Cod with wakame or the Grilled Miso Aubergine with tofu will fill you
up without filling you out. As for the remaining bulk of your bowl, there
are only slight variations as each is paired with oven-roasted tomatoes,
grilled mushrooms, pickled lotus root and soft-cooked egg, with the
optional substitution of quinoa instead of rice.
If you’re niggling for some noodles, sidestep the rice bowls and choose
between May May’s Spicy Noodles section, which offers Cold Somen (with
grilled prawns, garlic chilli sauce, tobiko and crispy seaweed) or Warm
Somen (minced pork and their signature chilli sauce). Before heading back
to the office or exploring the neighbouring shophouses, take a cheeky
glance at the sweets menu, as dessert here can’t go amiss. May May is
famous islandwide for its Liu Sha Custard Doughnuts – a crispy-on-the-
outside-but-fluffy-inside doughnut ball bursting at the crumb with its
salted egg yolk custard filling! You have to be swift though, as only a limited
amount is prepared everyday and demand is very high!

DSTLLRY
Full disclosure: we love DSTLLRY for way more than its killer bowl
of Bara Chirashi Don at lunch hour. While definitely off the beaten
track for some (near Queensway), DSTLLRY is a sleek and sexy
space that specialises in bespoke cocktails and a monthly changing
Japanese-inspired omakase menu. Resembling a photographer’s
studio, the dimly lit bar buzzes with life as drinks are mixed and the
chefs behind the counter prep dishes with intense focus.
Typically reserved as an evening hideout, the lunch hour is not
to be underestimated, as the ‘chef’s choice’ menu is switched out
for a limited selection of delectable donburi. True fans will always
stick to a classic and that’s where the Bara Chirashi Don reigns
as champion. A dismantled Rubik’s cube of fresh salmon, tuna,
hamachi, dotted with vibrant orange spheres of ikura are hard to
resist no matter where you are, but by God are they seductive at
DSTLLRY. Marinated in a soy-mirin dressing to give it a hefty punch
of umami, you will want to savour it slowly.
Being a creative space, DSTLLRY isn’t afraid to bend the rules
a little bit… so trust your instincts and try their spin on the typical
donburi – ditching the don (rice) and serving their bara chirashi
with spicy ramen instead! Flavourful, filling and leaving just a bit
of a tingle on your lips, it is a meal you won’t soon forget. After a
lunch here, we imagine it won’t be long until you’re back for more.
The day menu also offers a melt-in-the-mouth Aburi Salmon Don
and a well-marbled Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Don. Though if you really
want to see DSTLLRY at its prime, return in the evening and tuck
into their 10-course omakase to truly make a journey out west
worthwhile.

Wine Bars
By Justin Eeles I Images courtesy of participating outlets
With the recent explosion in the number of speakeasy cocktail bars and
craft beer drinking holes in Singapore, less attention has been given to
the city’s choice of wine bars, despite a rise both in the choice of bars
available and the number of wine drinkers in the city. Here we list five of
our top spots for enjoying a fine vintage or two with friends around town.
Caveau
Located bang in the middle of the Orchard shopping area, just off Scotts
Road, Caveau is brought to you by the same people as its neighbouring
Les Amis restaurant, a Singapore fine dining institution. This casual
wine and coffee bar is open all day (11am-11pm), attracting a regular
morning crowd for the quality of its beans, sourced from Singapore’s
highly respected Nylon roasters. With a small patisserie attached, it’s
the ideal place to take a break from shopping for well-deserved coffee
and cake. Come the evening and a different crowd arrives for the

busy every night, due to its fabulous location, great value for money
and good selection of wine. The French couple that opened the bar four
years ago wanted to create a little corner of Paris in Singapore and the
result was an instant success. Its position on the corner of Club Street
and Gemmill Lane, with seating that spills out onto the pavement, is
instantly recognisable to fans of the French capital. The wine list offers
six whites and reds by the glass together with a monthly special also
available by the glass. By the bottle, the list is split into the price ranges
of $35-$50, with six bottles of white and red available, $52-$70, with 10
of each available and over $70, with eight whites and nine reds on offer.
For Singapore, these are exceptional value – there are not many other
places where you can buy a Châteauneuf du Pape for just over $100.
Wines are now also available to take home at a lower price ($66 for the
Châteauneuf du Pape) so if you find something you like, take it with you!
To accompany the wine, the food menu includes charcuterie and cheese
platters as well as some new healthier options like salads and vegetarian
dishes. Service is friendly and the atmosphere very much like a busy
bistro in the Parisien district the bar is named after.
With the whole of Club Street on its doorstep, Ô Batignolles is an
ideal place to begin an evening out on the town - although with prices like
these, you may find yourself staying longer than planned.

Merchants
With three outlets now in Singapore, Merchants has expanded at quite a rate
since opening in PasarBella three years ago. This Aussie husband and wife team
has created a wine co-operative with select vineyards in Australia and New
Zealand, enabling them to bring over small boutique wines at very competitive
prices. With the vineyards themselves partners in the business, Merchants enjoys
a busy wine calendar of events, tastings and dinners, meaning customers get
regular access to the wine makers themselves in Singapore. Designed as a wine
shop that sells food, guests can browse the many vintages on display before
making their choice. With a casual laid-back atmosphere, Merchants is an ideal
place to get to know some of the smaller producers from across 26 regions of
Australia and New Zealand while enjoying a bottle or two with friends. Wines by
the glass change every month, with four white, one rosé and five reds available.
Prices for bottles range from $35 to $155, with discounts available for take out
bottles. Merchants now also exists in two lively heritage areas, on Duxton Road
in Tanjong Pagar and on Joo Chiat Road in Katong, so if you’re exploring these
historic enclaves, be sure to drop by for a sundowner. Each outlet offers a menu
of freshly made snacks, charcuterie and cheese platters and a selection of larger
bites – outlets are open all day, serving brunch, coffee, lunch and dinner.

Wine Connection
One of the most popular wine shops/bars in
Singapore, Wine Connection has expanded fast over
the past nine years and now has retail outlets across
the city-state. Offering a selection of very affordable
lesser-known new and old world wines in a casual
wine shop setting, the chain has opened four bistros
and a cheese bar to date. This expansion is showing
no signs of slowing down, due to their ongoing
popularity amongst both the local and expat crowd.
For a wide selection of wines by the glass, cold cuts
and an extensive choice of cheese, we recommend
the original Robinson Walk outlet. Split into a wine
shop/bar and a separate cheese room, this offers both
inside and al fresco seating. Apart from all the wines
on display, the drinks menu also offers craft beers and
ciders. With over 40 different cheeses flown in from
Europe every week, snacks include salads, tartines
and even raclette – something to warm the soul on
those long cold winter nights! However, if you’re after
a more substantial meal, their largest property is just
around the corner, offering a western menu of at very
competitive prices.

Kilter Avenue
The folks at Kilter Avenue know that weekends are for sleeping in, so they hold their classes no earlier than 10am! However,
that is where their mercy ends. The classes take place every Saturday and are ideal for people of all fitness levels. The trainers
at Kilter will push you to your limits through sets of bodyweight drills and dynamic exercises that incorp rate functional
strength and cardio movements. Currently, their most regular class, aptly titled Stairway to Heaven, is a gruelling but satisfying
HIIT session (high intensity interval training) at the base of Fort Canning’s notoriously steep stairway (Hill Street), entailing
variations of push ups, sit ups and mountain climbs. They also host special guest trainers that focus on a particular craft or
fitness discipline, like capoeira and zumba, to put your moves to very good use! Perhaps our favourite part of all is Kilter
Avenue’s positive approach to fitness, and their belief that everything is about balance. You won’t find anyone promoting juice
cleanses or diet fads here; instead the dedicated team teach the philosophy that you simply need to treat your body with the
care it deserves. Their self-empowering attitude definitely makes the “boot” in “boot camp” feel a lot less like a kick to the
backside and it is always a pleasure to know that it is perfectly acceptable to occasionally have your cake and eat it too!

For more information, visit kilteravenue.com
UFIT
The award for the most diverse offerings has to go to UFIT, who host not
one but nine different boot camp classes based on guests’ preferred forms
of exercise. For the everyday workout warrior, the UFIT class caters to all
levels and covers all basic fitness modes like flexibility, core work, power
and speed, with plenty of strength work thrown in for good measure. If
you can’t deny yourself the rush of a good old fashion HIIT session, the
OZFIT class is sure to get those muscles fired up. More challenging still is
HITFIT, combining the best of both UFIT and OZFIT classes to rev up your
metabolism through dynamic circuits using kettle bells, medicine balls, TRX
bands and more! (Be advised – this class is not for the faint at heart and
is best suited for more experienced ‘campers’). Running away from your
usual routine? Pick up the pace with RUNFIT – a cardio-focused class that
will you get you from the couch to the trail in no time. Though this is no
stroll in the park – the coaches will have you and your newfound running
crew sprinting, tackling hills and climbing stairs against the clock! Those
short on time will love QuickFit, compacting the hour-long workout into an
intense 45 minutes. UFIT also hosts SHEFIT (women only), BOXFIT (boxing
drills, cardio and strength circuits), YOGAFIT (combining Vinyasa yoga with
HIIT cardio) and finally, Tanjong Beach Boot Camp, perfect for a change of
scene. In fact, all their classes are hosted at various meeting points on the
island (ranging from East Coast Park to Fort Canning and even MacRitchie
Reservoir), so you can get plenty of fresh air during your workout.

Level Gym
Though technically a personal training gym, Level, on Telok
Ayer, also hosts Midday Madness – an intense half-hour boot
camp guaranteed to make you feel the burn during your
lunch hour, with plenty of time to spare. Every power-packed
class will have you thrusting kettle bells, pumping dumbbells
and performing functional bodyweight movements against
the clock, to torch calories in minimal time. Before you know
it, you’ll be back at your work desk to see the rest of the
day through with (strangely) plenty more energy to get you
over that 3pm slump. And don’t be surprised if you start to
find the intense rush of adrenalin highly addictive. If you
are keen on learning more about strength and conditioning,
you can also sign up to Under the Bar – an hour-long class
on Monday and Friday evenings that will get you up close
and personal with a barbell to teach you the mechanics of
traditional moves like squats, deadlifts and bench presses.
Otherwise, Level also hosts a Weekend Warrior boot camp,
where similar exercises are stretched over an hour, complete
with a warm-up and cool down session. Make no mistake…
none of these classes are easy, but they are open to people
of all levels. Nervous about your first class? Take beginner’s
intimidation out of the equation and grab a workout buddy
to come along with you.

rolling O
ne of the joys of living in Singapore is the access to
a selection of excellent spa facilities, most of which
are located in the city’s top hotels. Last year, the
stones
ranks of world-class spas available in the city-state
grew further with the opening of One Farrer Hotel
and Spa. This impressive urban resort-style property,
located in the historic cultural enclave of Farrer Park, offers travellers a
refreshing change of scene from the city’s more established properties
surrounding the CBD.
By Ben Wu I Images courtesy of One Farrer Spa It also offers one of the best spa facilities in Singapore, with a list of
treatments geared towards both men and women. These include rituals,
facials, body treatments, retreats for men, massage, mani and pedi
essentials, waxing services and a hair salon.

The 90-minute ‘Executive Retreat’ treatment was originally
designed as a male treatment but is now popular with both sexes.
The emphasis here is on relaxation, so although the actual treatment
is only 90 minutes long, guests are encouraged to arrive early to
enjoy the spa’s facilities before the treatment begins. Apart from the
hotel’s Olympic-size pool, each changing room features an al fresco
garden with hot and cold plunge pools, a Jacuzzi and a warm mineral
pool infused with Magnesium. Soaking in the Magnesium pool
provides an ideal way of preparing for your treatment, calming the
mind and nourishing the body with its essential minerals.
Once you are fully in tune with your surroundings, the therapist
leads you into the treatment room. As with all the facilities at One
Farrer, there is no lack of space in the treatment rooms, each kitted
out with ensuite private bathroom and changing area. No expense
has been spared on the massage bed either – heated and seemingly
better equipped than a dentist’s chair, this modern support provides
the difference between a good and a great massage experience.
The Executive Retreat begins with a 30-minute body scrub, with
the therapist exfoliating and replenishing the skin with rhythmic
strokes that have you slipping into unconsciousness well before the
massage itself begins. Once you’ve been thoroughly scrubbed, it’s
time for a quick shower before the massage begins. The Executive
Retreat’s main attraction is the one-hour hot stone massage, which
from personal experience takes you as close to sensory nirvana as
you could ever possibly hope to attain in a 60-minute

treatment. Here the therapist skillfully uses the hot stones
to massage away any knots or tension in your body,
employing hypnotic strokes that nullify any anxiety or
stress, rendering you into a contented state of sleepy bliss.
Starting at the feet and continuing up each leg into the
problem areas of the lower and upper back, all tension is
erased by the calming rhythmic motion of the stones. It’s
the kind of treatment you never want to end, but end it
does rather quicker than expected because you’ve very
likely snoozed your way through half of it. I’d recommend
not organizing any important meetings after one of these
massages as you won’t make much sense for at least an
hour or two, staring instead into space with an immovable
inane grin on your face. Instead, spend some time
enjoying the spas other relaxation facilities or just lounge
by the pool and soak up some sun in this garden oasis.

Dempsey
Style
Images courtesy of CeccottiCollezioni and Asiatique Collections

T
he treasure trove of furniture shops nestled
amongst the leafy streets of Dempsey Hill
welcomed a new arrival in December. The
opening of the Ceccotti Collezioni at Asiatique
Collections signals a giant step forward in the
quality of furniture available in this popular
weekend escape. The first major collection of this iconic
furniture available outside Italy, this impressive space does
justice to the quality of craftsmanship on display.
Ceccotti Aviero has been at the forefront of progressive
furniture design since it formed in 1956, producing a range
that is immediately recognisable but very hard to imitate.
The company began to garner world attention when Franco
Ceccotti took over the business from his father in 1986.
Going into a long-term partnership with architect Roberto
Lazzeroni, the firm introduced a new unique style in 1988
that has defined the brand ever since.
Offering elegant lines of polished wood (walnut, oak,
American cherry wood and maple), punctuated by flashes
of surrealism, the ‘Dedos Tenidos’ collection won instant
critical acclaim. The work was part inspired by artists like
Dali and Mollino while also influenced by the minimalist
style of Scandinavian design. What had been a firm that
made its name supplying exclusive hotels and residences
overnight became a collector’s sensation.
Despite the company’s expansion over the past 20
years, the workshops are still based in the same area of
Tuscany – all pieces are handcrafted – with the master
craftsman schooled at the region’s respected Cascina
School of Art.
Since its inception in 1998, Asiatique Collections has
been dealing in unique furniture, jewellery and art pieces
from around the region and beyond, all sourced personally
by owner Chin Bottinelli. Quickly gaining local support for
the quality of merchandise on offer, what was once a 300
square foot store grew into a 5,000 square foot gallery.
This is the ideal space to house the Ceccotti Collezioni and
Asiatique Collections is the brand’s exclusive partner in
Singapore.
Highlights of the collection include an amazing fold-
out wardrobe for men, a similarly-designed fold-out bar
and some beautifully designed chairs and tables – if you’re
renting out a black and white house and have a bottomless
budget to furnish it, this could well be your ideal one-stop
shop.
The collection also includes a selection of other
homewares and furnishings like shelves, beds mirrors and
lamps, made from materials like leather, brass and stone.
With the gallery neighbouring some of the best
restaurants and cafes in the city, there are ample places
nearby for you to ponder over a purchase.

Green Spaces
Text & Photos by Justin Eeles
Singapore is known as the garden city and for

good reason – the city offers visitors a great
selection of parks and green spaces in which
to walk, hike or laze in the sun. In this issue we
look at a selection of parks across the city-
state, each offering a unique visitor experience
as well as welcome respite from the busy
streets of the city. So pack your picnic hamper,
dust off your hiking boots and brush up on
your botany – whatever your interest or incline,
there’s a park here for you.

Gardens by the Bay
One of Singapore’s most impressive attractions is Gardens by the Bay. With two
large temperature-regulated enclosures, the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest,
and parkland spread over a large area of Marina Bay, this is a must-visit for guests to
the city. There is nothing quite like the Gardens by the Bay anywhere in the world.
The grove of towering ‘supertrees,’ their trunks covered in thick foliage, provide a
dramatic fi rst impression, both day and night. During the day, the OCBC skyway
takes visitors on a high altitude walk above the trees, offering startling views of the
surroundings. As the sun sets, head to the main supertree, where restaurant and
bar Indochine occupies the two fl oors at the summit – one of the more unique
locations for a sundowner in a city full of iconic rooftop bars. As night falls, crowds
gather at the base of the trees to enjoy the atmospheric light show, a calming
prelude to the nightly Marina Bay Sands laser show at 8pm.

Although entry requires a ticket, the Flower
Dome and Cloud Forest are recommended for visitors,
whether green-fi ngered nature lovers or families
on a a day out. The Flower Dome provides the ideal
place for a walk in the park, its temperature kept to
a temperate 23-25C – there’s no danger of breaking
into a sweat here! The assembled collection of plants
from across the globe includes huge Baobabs from
Africa, giant cacti, a one-thousand-year-old olive tree
and a huge selection of fl owers – look out for the
Dahlia exhibition currently on show and the beautifully
decorated Chinese New Year garden. In the damp misty
Cloud Forest Dome next door, a man-made waterfall
cascades down a mountain of rare plants from the
tropical highlands. Discover a world of orchids,
bromeliads and begonias as you descend from the
summit. Beyond the domes, there are acres of park to
walk through, with food and refreshments available at
a selection of restaurants and the waterside hawker
centre Satay by the Bay. For a special experience,
book a table at Pollen (see review on page 48-49)
in the Flower Dome and enjoy haute cuisine in a
Mediterranean garden.

Singapore Botanic Gardens
If Singapore is a garden city, then this is the garden where it
all started. Many of the trees, fl owers and plants that line the
city’s streets started their life here. Entrance to the gardens
is free with only specialized attractions like the orchid garden
requiring a ticket. With lakes, ponds, exotic flora and acres of
green to enjoy, the gardens are a popular place for locals to
exercise and get some fresh air, from sunrise Tai Chirituals to
after-work joggers. For the keen botanist, there is a lot to take
in – it’s quite easy to spend a whole day exploring the garden’s
many different areas. Refreshments are on hand at both
entrance gates but for something memorable, book at table at
Corner House, once the home to a leading botanist during up to
the Second World War (see review page 50-51), and enjoy the
creative cuisine of one of Singapore’s best new chefs, Jason Tan
in beautiful surroundings.

MacRitchie Reservoir
Walkers around this picturesque stretch of
water may be outnumbered by joggers by
three to one, but that doesn’t negatively affect
the experience – this is one of Singapore’s
more impressive natural parks. Offering hiking
trails, kayaking and a stunning tree-top walk,
MacRitchie is Singapore’s oldest reservoir and
offers walkers a good choice of trails through
the forest ranging from an easy 90 minutes to
a challenging five hours. Alternatively take it
easy, relax by the water-side and meet some of
the local macaque inhabitants.
