Riverside Grilled Fish 江边城外was founded in 2005 by two good friends who chanced upon the delicious traditional method of grilling fish and topping it off with Ma La sauces while travelling in Wushan Town, Chong Qing. Captivated by the robust and tantalising flavours of the Chong Qing recipes, the two friends set up their first shop in Beijing and soon became known for their unique Chong Qing styled grilled whole fishes made with the freshest ingredients and award-winning sauces.
Snaking long queues outside Riverside Grilled Fish 江边城外became a common sight. Riverside Grilled Fish 江边城外 has since expanded to 54 outlets in China with Singapore being the first Riverside Grilled Fish set up outside of China in Singapore.

Coyote is the new contender to the few Modern Tex-Mex restaurants in Singapore’s F&B scene, promising heartier, more wholesome Tex-Mex cusine experienced in a semi-fine dining design.
Coyote will be helmed by Chef Jihardi Amin, well-known in the culinary scenes of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand for more than 19 years, who has long-honed his expertise in both local and Western cuisine. His love for Mexican food was cultivated when he was mentored by two reknowned Mexican chefs: Chef Adrian Pinto and Chef Nacian Prince. Chef Jihardi found both familiarity and exotic flavour in Mexican colour, spice and aroma.
With combined similar minds, the opportunity to head a Tex Mex restaurant was kismet. The authentic menu to be delivered in Coyote reflects the humourous and jolly side of the Chef, as he abides to “respect and love the ingredients, and cook it with your heart and soul. The food will make rainbows in your eyes”.
Fresh quality ingredients will always be a cornerstone and essential to Mexican food to bring out its utmost vibrancy. With Chef’s varied local and Western cuisine backgrounds, you can look forward to some chef’s specialties, which has a slight Asian innovation to Mexican food for the fresh twist but still keeping close to authentic Tex-Mex cuisine. Their family-friendly restaurant also welcomes children to enjoy a healthy and appetising kid’s menu. Delightful Mexican desserts unlikely to be found in a typical Western restaurant will also delight all fans of both the sweet and the savoury.
Freehouse was birthed from a thirst that could only be quenched by good beer and cider, if you're like them, you'll understand when they say the thirst is real.
At Freehouse, they like their beers and ciders full of flavor, because nothing’s worse than the taste of bad beer. So it’s only natural that they made it their life mission to bring you nothing but the best beers out there.
They’ve got 16 rotational craft beers and an extensive bottle list that covers a variety of styles and breweries from all over the world. It gets even better, their menu of soulful Asian food (can’t take the Asian out of them) is crafted specifically to complement the beers they offer.
You'll find them on the second story of a shophouse in the heart of CBD, so go on, climb those stairs to (beer) heaven, you know you want to.
Think bare-brick walls, concrete floors, beer on tap, the best of rock sounding through the system, and lots (and lots) of whiskies.
Sample 100+ variety of whiskies from around the globe - have it neat, on the rocks, or with a beer chaser. 3-4 ever-changing cocktails. Sapporo on tap. Beer pong. They also have a selection of sodas for designated drivers in the house.
In addition to checking out edgy art at Emily Hill's long-beloved Kult Gallery, you can now have a beer or a cocktail on the same leafy compound. Located in an old house, Kult Kafe oozes a laidback house party atmosphere with high ceilings, bare walls plastered with graffti art posters, tasteful antique furniture and a roomy dance floor that also doubles as a performance venue.
On the drinks front, there's a cocktail menu by Zac Mirza (of House of Dandy and Tapow fame). Try the Kult Julep featuring rum, kaffir lime leaf and gula melaka and the Mojito featuring coconut water, fresh berries, lime juice and rum. For a greater punch, try the Spirit-driven end of the menu - stuff like like Negroni, Boulvardier and 1794. Also on the menu are regular bar staples like gin, bourbon, whisky, rum and apertifs.
For special events (and you can expect many, as one of the partners is Tom Shellsuit of Sundays at the Training Shed fame), expect outdoor seating and staging, DJs and food done by Wings World and Black Boys Cubano, though we're told Kult Kafe will soon roll out its own bar food menu.
