The first ever Starbucks Reserve™ Store
By Jay Tan
The third wave of the coffee movement came along and silently changed the way we drink our coffee. Gone are the days where we would settle for a coffee sachet or pre-refined coffee powder. A discerning palate was developed and it asks nothing less than a barista’s precision and skills to be put to the test. Baristas would now require an impeccable attention to detail, from ensuring the right coffee-to-water ratio to a well-rounded grind in order to brew the perfect cup of coffee.

We’ve amassed a few gift ideas for mum for Mother’s Day. But what about dad’s big day on June 16? They say that there’s no better way to a man’s heart than through his tummy, so one fool-proof way to make dad happy this Father’s Day is to stuff him with food glorious food. Here’s a sneak peek of what your family can chow on when you visit on Father’s Day weekend at Resorts World Sentosa.
What’s in a Carrot Cake?
It can easily be found in a bowl of soup, in a plate of stir fried greens or part of a healthy salad dish. We are, of course, talking about carrots.
And to make The Carrot Cause at Palio an even more memorable event, our Executive Pastry Chef Kenny Kong has decided to bake up a storm. What could be better to celebrate the inaugural Carrot Cause than to whip up a gigantic carrot cake? Chef Kong’s delicious cake has just the right proportion of spice to work up a strong nutty taste, covered in a layer of decadent sour cream frosting.

Fresh rice dumplings at Feng Shui Inn
Powerful strikes upon the drum. Thunderous roars battling the stubborn waves of the sea. Blood pumping adrenaline. These are just about the sights and sounds of Singapore’s Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dumpling Festival. And while most of us don’t have the physique and ability to steer these boats, we most certainly have the superhuman ability to stomach these Ba Zhang – many of them, if we can.
Feng Shui Inn has heeded the call of our tummies and created savoury, aromatic dumplings for this festive season, only from 28 May to 12 June.
We bite into three and give you a sneak preview.
An Italian perk-me-up at Palio
By Jay Tan
There is one universal truth: no one escapes the clutches of the Weary Wednesday Monster. Midweek blues are painful for that stranded feeling – you’re tired from Monday and Tuesday, but the weekend is Thursday and Friday away. I decided that I needed a perk-me-up comfort meal, one that will keep my spirits uplifted for the rest of the week.
I popped by good ol’ Palio and gave myself a little treat.
3 things you need to do at the Carrot Cause
Yes, carrots love Italian cuisine.
It’s Wednesday, 5pm, and the week seemed to have stretched impossibly long. We reckon a good way to break the seemingly unending marathon of work commitments would be to indulge in a good ol’ Tuscan dinner. Better yet, if you eat at Palio on 29 May at the RWS Carrot Cause, your money doesn’t even go to the restaurant – EVERYTHING will be donated to the charity of your choosing.
Here’re 3 ways to make the night even more enjoyable.
