What Else?

Other great new places to try.

Club Street Wine Room

Andrew Walsh’s new wine-focused venture is what a great bar is meant to be – classy and approachable, without the fancy schmancy. Founded by Cure Concepts – which points to Walsh, the chef behind Cure and Catfish – Club Street Wine Room moves away from the traditional formal wine bar, inviting guests to dine in a trifecta of good music, good service and very good food; think oysters grilled with bacon jam; guinea fowl served with a rich, buttery pithivier; and the incredible steamed and burnt citrus pudding. Of course, these go better with the ever-evolving menu of wines, sourced from all over the world. There’s Sea Soul No. 4, a wine sea-aged to improve fermentation and taste, and Château Kefraya Collection Amphora 2018, an excellent terracotta vessel-aged wine that impresses with a complex palate of quince, cinnamon and black cherries.

Wild Child Pizzette

All good things come in 10 inches, so we’ve been told. But before your brain goes to the gutter, we must specify that we’re talking about Neapolitan-style pizzette, a pocket-sized pizza that’s perfect for modest appetites or those who enjoy variety. Brought to you by the folks behind Cicheti, where you’d find simple-but-stunning classics, Wild Child Pizzette eschews tradition for something a little more modern. Dig into crispy fried margherita and cavolo nero (kale, garlic confit and pickled onions) cooked in a wood-fired oven, roasted pork belly served with a life-changing crack oil, and one of the best pistachio gelato Singapore has to offer. As for drinks, we highly recommend any of the sakes, or if you’d prefer to leave it to the sommelier, opt for Sommakase, which will get you three complementary pours of wines for S$39.
