This month, SPRMRKT joins a new neighbourhood – the verdant and idyllic Dempsey Hill, with an inspired space and a new cultural-culinary experience through dining, retail and art.
2012 saw the beginnings of the lifestyle F&B brand in a shophouse on McCallum Street favoured by city dwellers as an oasis to the hustle and bustle of CBD life. Eight years later, SPRMRKT has grown into a familiar neighbourhood name; from the bustling central business district to the riverside respite of Robertson Quay, quaint Cluny residential area, and now, at the heart of the Dempsey Hill lifestyle enclave.
Just like its name without the vowels, SPRMRKT is about simplicity, focusing on what matters. At the heart of it is responsibly sourced ingredients prepared meticulously to let their natural flavours shine; warm, friendly service centred on the diner; a showcase of carefully sourced gourmet brands from Singapore and around the region with the aim of giving back; and thoughtful collaborations that support young artists and creatives.
Another reason to drop by SPRMRKT at Dempsey Hill is the house-baked goods fresh from the oven, enticing with their lingering aroma. The range varies daily and includes breads, pastries and tea cakes, as well as must-haves like the Olive Oil Cake and Chiffon Cake in flavours of lychee, strawberry and pandan.
Exclusive on the weekends, listen out for the ice cream man ringing the bell as SPRMRKT at Dempsey Hill brings a little nostalgia to the neighbourhood with the Durian Semifreddo Wafer Sandwich. The frozen semifreddo is house made with luscious D24 durian pulp cocooned in a crispy wafer with vanilla and caramel notes; great for on the go or at the breezy veranda.
COMO Club is the perfect aperitivo bar for gatherings and more. COMO Club has a food and drinks menu that offers an experience from three acclaimed COMO Dempsey restaurants.
COMO Club is the youngest addition to COMO Dempsey by the COMO Group. At the heart and soul of block 17 that houses The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar, Ippoh Tempura Bar by Ginza Ippoh and Candlenut, COMO Club is a cosy and intimate space to meet after work for drinks and small plates, a place to decompress and chill in style.
Catch up with friends and graze on the concised menu that centres around the foods of the three restaurants. Light but packed with high-octane flavours, the tapas-portioned dishes include signature favourites such as the Cheeseburger with Brie, Black Truffle and Mayonnaise (The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar), Tenshi Shrimps and Vegetable Tempura (Ippoh Tempura Bar by Ginza Ippoh), Candlenut Satay as well as Kueh Pie Tee, Braised Turnip, Pork Belly and Prawns (Candlenut). Designed to be paired with preprandial drinks before moving on to dinner, these moreish plates can also be enjoyed as a light meal by themselves.
Designed by renowned Italian designer Paola Navone, the stylish space is a feast for the eyes. Suspended oversized cupola lamps in a woven natural fibre in electric blue not only provide flattering ambient lighting but also lend a contemporary touch. Banquette seats offer a romantic mise- en-scene perfect for private get-togethers, while high-back sofas make this the ideal spot to lie back, unwind and relax with friends.
More than a classic bar, COMO Club is poised to become the hottest destination in Dempsey.

Situated on a gorgeous grassy knoll just off Loewen Road is an eye-catching ‘glasshouse’ that showcases two of the island’s well-loved food brands – Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza that helm the F&B offerings at Core Collective, the recently-opened fitness, wellness and lifestyle hub.
The two restaurants are surrounded by greenery that is perfect fodder for a children’s activity and pet-friendly area, making this all-glass destination – which spans 12,000 square feet of land – a welcome retreat away from the daily grind. Furnished with light wood tables and accessories complemented by caramel-hued chairs, the space is one that evokes a relaxed atmosphere with a touch of chic. A cosy courtyard bridges both concepts and is a lovely romantic spot for an evening out, or an intimate nook for a private party.
Plank’s fifth outlet serves up its all-time favourites made fresh from an authentic Italian Valoriani Igloo Pizza Oven and available in two sizes – Round (12 inches) and Plank (foot long, outlet-exclusive).

Situated on a gorgeous grassy knoll just off Loewen Road is an eye-catching ‘glasshouse’ that showcases two of the island’s well-loved food brands – Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza that helm the F&B offerings at Core Collective, the recently-opened fitness, wellness and lifestyle hub.
The new F&B establishment open its doors recently to welcome customers into a gem of a venue boasting floor-to-ceiling glass, an expansive casual-chic dining area and most of all, an elevated ‘2.0’ experience with a brand new dine-in menu to complement its popular bakery favourites, Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza look set to be a community with great vibes. Masterminded by New Zealander ‘Baker Boy’, Founder and CEO Dean Brettschneider, both brands have been an endearing part of the local foodscape since 2012 and 2015 respectively; steadily expanding to ten Baker & Cook and five Plank Sourdough Pizza outlets in Singapore alone.
The latest outlet is a stunning locale that is uniquely designed to embrace both concepts in one beautiful garden. A definite highlight for Baker & Cook is the splendid 12-metre elevated Deli and Bakery counter that curves seductively and takes centre-stage, beckoning with freshly-made items, immediately differentiating the space from other branches.
Since its beginnings, Baker & Cook has established itself as an artisan bakery and food store that offers a heart- warming shopping and dining experience, proudly going by the motto that “Passion is Our Main Ingredient”.

Bincho at Min Jiang delivers the same authentic Japanese yakitori experience to Dempsey Road, in a contemporary industrial-chic hideaway at Dempsey Road. Like its flagship venue at Tiong Bahru, the restaurant is tucked away behind decades-old Cantonese restaurant, Min Jiang by Goodwood Park Hotel.
Step through the hidden entrance amidst beautiful greenery and treat yourself to a cosy, intimate dining experience – starting with its discrete location; an unassuming entrance via a dark black door with frosted glass panels; a charming vaulted roof; copper-hued interiors; with a Japanese folk playlist providing background chatter.
The restaurant offers the same yakitori selection as its outpost in Tiong Bahru, as well as a selection of luxurious offerings and seasonal items, only available at Bincho at Min Jiang.
Set in the lush flora of Dempsey Hill, the 40-seater restaurant occupies the 1000 square foot space of the monochrome one-story colonial building. Situated away from the main cluster, the restaurant provides a tranquil escape away from the bustling lifestyle and dining enclave of Dempsey, complete with a beautiful green picturesque backdrop.
Following his success at running Bincho at Hua Bee, the new Bincho at Min Jiang will be helmed by Executive Chef Asai Masashi, who hails from the HyÅgo Prefecture in Japan. Formerly of the prestigious Abeno Tsuji Culinary Institute, Asai-san spent thirteen years of his career refining his skills at various dining destinations in HyÅgo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
Growing up in the HyÅgo Prefecture, surrounded by pristine produce from the land and sea, Asai-san developed an appreciation for exquisite, seasonal ingredients from a young age. Holding these ingredients in high regard, he thoughtfully curates his menu according to the 24 micro seasons in the Japanese calendar, showcasing the best ingredients each season has to offer.
With more than 30 years of experience under his belt, Chef Asai Masashi understands the importance of precision execution over simple ingredients and continues to masterfully shares his philosophy of Japanese grilling to Bincho at Min Jiang.
True to the restaurant’s name ‘Bincho’, synonymous to the famed Japanese white charcoal Bincho-tan, the restaurant offers a selection of Yakitori grilled to perfection over an open fire. The signature Yakitori Platter features various part of the chicken, where no protein is left out, from the chicken thigh, breast, neck, wing, skin to its tail, heart, liver, gizzard, and cocks comb.
Another note-worthy dish Chef Asai created for the new restaurant is the Uni Shabu Shabu, featuring a luxurious ‘Uni broth’ made from fresh Sea Urchin. The creamy, cloudy dashi-based broth boasts a light orange colour and a distinct aromatic fragrance. Originated first in Osaka, Japan, the Uni Shabu Shabu set features the broth served in a personal sized hot-pot, a spread of air-flown seasonal seafood items (eg Oyster, Crab, Abalone, Prawn), seasonal vegetables and sashimi-grade Sea Urchin.
Guests may enjoy the fresh seafood shabu-shabu style over the simmering broth. To complete the dish, the server uses remaining soup broth in the hotpot to prepare an umami-rich Uni Porridge using Yumepirika rice, spring onions and other condiments like kizami nori (seaweed) and shichimi (seven-spiced powder). The rich, creamy and comforting Japanese porridge is topped with fresh uni.
On Bincho’s grilled menu is Yasai Maki (translated as Vegetable Rolls), a type of meat rolls featuring thinly sliced pork or beef, wrapped around seasonal vegetables, skewered and grilled. The range of Yasai Maki features an extensive list of seasonally available vegetables like Japanese long yam, young corn and mushroom amongst others. Grilled over the Bincho-tan charcoal, these skewers offer a wonderful mix of textures and flavors, with each meat roll paired with its own complementing sauce.
Spring – the season of rejuvenation and new beginnings – has arrived.
For Min Jiang, one of Singapore’s most established and celebrated Chinese restaurants, this spring marks a notable chapter in the history of Min Jiang at One-North. Opened in Rochester Park in 2006, this second restaurant under the prestigious Min Jiang brand became renowned for its cuisine as well its status as the only Chinese restaurant to occupy a ‘black and white’ bungalow in Singapore.
Having called Rochester Park home for 12 years, the restaurant has taken a step forward: relocating to another heritage destination – Dempsey Hill – into new and bigger premises. Boasting an interior of contemporary chinoiserie, Min Jiang at Dempsey aims to deliver an elevated experience of award-winning Chinese dining in a chic and sophisticated ambience.
The restaurant is housed in a charming, British-era building located on the fringes of Dempsey Hill. Celebrated architect and interior designer, Ernesto Bedmar, has given the dining space – which has a larger floor area than its previous Rochester site – a modern chinoiserie aesthetic. Surrounded by lush greenery, the restaurant has an ethereal and romantic ambience that appeals widely to regular patrons as well as diners and visitors exploring the Dempsey Hill lifestyle enclave.
One of Min Jiang’s hallmarks has always been its elegant, sophisticated service. Whether it’s a romantic date, corporate lunch or family gathering. A catch-up with friends or a grand celebration like a wedding, anniversary or birthday. A meal with a foreign visitor or simply a quiet everyday repast – Min Jiang delivers you to the heart of the moment. It is a restaurant for all seasons. And as spring warms the river and the fish begin their journey, it opens its doors at its new home in Dempsey Hill.
A new style of family life is here. The newly-opened Maggie & Rose on Dempsey Road is the most brilliant Family Members’ Club and Play & Learn drop-off Programme! The original club was dreamt up back in 2006, in the heart of London. Since then, the Maggie & Rose family has gone global with hip hangouts in London, Hong Kong and China; it’s THE home away from home for families to eat, play and learn together.
It’s been a long journey creating the ultimate family destination for little ones and grown-ups to enjoy, but now, that Maggie & Rose magic has landed on Singapore’s shores.
Get in touch, drop by and join them to become part of their awesome Maggie & Rose family!

The Rabbit Hole, Singapore’s first gin garden bar at The White Rabbit, a beautiful hideaway from the tropical heat with tipples to match. Relaunching with a tight selection of specialty gins and premium French crepes set in the peaceful greens of Dempsey, it is the perfect destination for an elegant after-dinner treat away from the crowds downtown.
Long famous for hosting some of Singapore’s best parties, The Rabbit Hole aims to present this under-celebrated spirit in a fresh light, with a curated collection of 15 gin & tonics categorised into five flavour profiles designed to take gin drinkers, new and old, through the rich spectrum of flavour offered by gin. Their gin & tonics are all prepared with their housemade tonic and garnished with herbs fresh from The Rabbit Hole’s garden.
To complement their gins, they present a classic selection of six sweet crepes made with premium flour and Bordier butter specially imported from Brittany. The crepes and their sweet toppings have all been painstakingly made from scratch in pursuit of producing the most authentic French crepes in Singapore.
Open Farm Community (OFC), an exciting new collaboration between The Spa Esprit Group; celebrity chef, Ryan Clift; and award-winning food garden specialists, Edible Garden City, launches this month on Dempsey Hill.
Sprawling over 35,000 square feet on the edge of Minden Road, this revolutionary experiential space is a green mix of urban farmland right in the heart of Singapore, and a horticultural hub. OFC is established with the goal to help Singaporeans make a deeper and more meaningful connection with food and farming.
OFC is a timely response to increasing disconnect between most urban communities with nature generally, and specifically, with the way we eat – what we eat, and how we eat. Above all, it is a celebration of local farmers, creative chefs, and delicious seasonal fare.
These progressive initiatives will be unveiled in stages, but the DNA is clear. This unique venture is designed to provide families, foodies and gourmets alike with a transformational opportunity to learn about food and the role it should play in a modern eco-system that is saturated with processed ingredients, imported produce, and unsustainable farming practices.
At the core of OFC is an interactive, content-rich programme that explores the communal pleasures of fresh produce, renewable agricultural practices, and an encouragement to actively reflect on food in all its dimensions. Its sprawling outdoor and covered spaces incorporate a coffee bar, fresh juice and cocktail bar, as well as educational breakout spaces alongside group activities such as lawn bowling and table tennis.
After decades of welcoming visitors from all over the world to Barcelona for the experience of classic Catalan fare, Michelin starred Chef Carles Gaig is finally expanding his vision to Asia for the first time with La Ventana by Carles Gaig.
Set in a tranquil spot and surrounded by beautiful and lush greenery in Dempsey Hill, one of Singapore’s top lifestyle destinations, a visit to La Ventana by Carles Gaig is like taking a trip to Barcelona as the restaurant features an extensive menu of the best classic Catalan dishes, some of which has been passed down for generations within the Gaig family. With La Ventana by Carles Gaig managed by Chef Gaig’s daughter, Ms Nuria Gibert, and Chef Eduard Castellarnau, Chef Gaig’s vision to share Catalan cuisine with the world will be carried on to
the next generation.
Carles Gaig was awarded a Michelin star in 1993 when he took over his family’s restaurant that was established in 1869. Since then, he has continued to serve classic recipes that have delighted palates from all over the world.
