Artisanal coffee house, Jewel Coffee, has launched its second outlet, Jewel Café + Bar, in the heart of Little India on Rangoon Road.
This all-day casual chic dining concept offers you an extensive menu devoted to a selection of delicious comfort food, unique creations, original cocktails as well as its artfully crafted specialty coffee.
The striking industrial chic look at Jewel Café + Bar is based on a design of contrasts and is conceptualised by the local cross disciplinary design practice FARM. Envisioning Jewel as a gem amongst the rugged surrounds of timeworn Rangoon Road, FARM decided on a raw shell of cold, bare concrete which is embellished with jewel-inspired details such as glittering crystal light bulbs, warm brass and copper ceiling features, glass doors, teakwood paneling and pristine white subway tiles reminiscent of vintage diners.
The laidback, quirky personality of the café is also evident from the al fresco patio at the front of the café, which is set up with latticed wire chairs in a retro shade of blue and an oversized chalk board that depicts witty cartoon etchings by a local artist.
For the menu, they took an irreverent approach to calorie-counting and go the whole hog to tantalise your taste buds. For instance, the traditional French Onion Soup is duly capped with a comforting baguette crust of Swiss Cheese, Parmesan and Gruyère, which is a great foil for the sweet caramelised onions beneath.
Don’t miss the unique Shio-Koji Octopoke, Jewel’s rendition of the poke, a Hawaiian raw fish salad, that’s given a touch of Japanese glamour. Tender cubes of pan-seared octopus are tossed in shio-koji (a fermented rice-based salt substitute), wasabi and extra virgin olive oil, paired with creamy avocado and shredded ginger flower for extra zing.
The sweet-toothed should leave room for classic desserts such as Homemade Apple Crumble, Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Bean Ice-Cream. A standout treat is the refreshing Pan-Seared Watermelon Steaks that’s simultaneously warm, sweet, tart and salty.
With its wide array of breakfast items, Jewel Café + Bar makes a great destination for a languorous pick-me-up any day of the week. The breakfast menu lists popular favourites like English Breakfast, Eggs Royale, Eggs Florentine, Croque Monsieur and Brioche French Toast.
You can pop in for early cocktails during the happy hour daily or post-dinner tipples, as Jewel’s full-fledged bar serves up a list of exquisite original concoctions and international beers.
All their espresso-based coffee specialties – served in their signature double shot style – are lovingly pulled using the Italian state-of-the-art "La Marzocco Strada" machine and freshly-ground single origin coffee beans from different countries such as Brazil, Ethiopa and Sumatra.

The Aliwal Arts Centre, where the restaurant is located, is a historic heritage building whose geometrical clean lines and functional building elements complement Arbite’s approach to creating its dining spaces.

It all began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from France’s southwest, created a bakery in Paris at 16 rue Royale. The beginning of this century found Paris wrapped up in a frenzy of distraction and going out in public. Louis Ernest Ladurée’s wife, Jeanne Souchard, had the idea of mixing styles: The Parisian café and pastry shop gave birth to one of the first tea salons in town.
The story of the Ladurée Macaroon starts in the middle of the 20th century with Pierre Desfontaines, who first thought of taking two macaroon shells and joining them with a delicious ganache filling.
These small, round cakes, crisp on the outside, smooth and soft in the middle, are made every morning in Ladurée’s “laboratory”. The pastry chefs measure out very precisely the required amounts of almonds, eggs and sugar, before adding one final ingredient, a pinch of unique “know-how”, essential to the making of such a delicacy. Once cooked and filled, the macarons are put to one side for 2 days before going on sale, the time it takes to achieve a perfect balance between texture and flavour.
With each new season, Ladurée pays tribute to its most famous creation by creating a new flavour. Their existing range of macarons is always the starting point when a new one is created, as the variety of colours is as important as the range of flavours and a vital part of their appeal.
The first level counter only carries macarons, but they also serve chocolates, jams, tea and other confectionery.

The continuous surfaces forming the façade, walls, ceiling and entrances invite you into the store and guide you through the experience.

There are approximately 4,000 wooden pieces that complete the whole design.
The parametric surface modulates light and views into a flexible, open space. The plywood material forms a warm and casual ambience while its structure and assemblages express the dynamic process that combines technology with design.

After a closure of more than one year, Singapore’s first air-conditioned wet market, Elias 1, previously named White Sands New Market, opened on March 1. It was first bought out by supermarket chain Sheng Siong after it suffered repeated losses.
The new market offers a colour coding system which differentiates all the items sold and an electronic payment and weighing system to reduce customers’ waiting time.
Market stalls at Elias 1 are divided into different sections according to a colour coding system. Colours like green, yellow, orange and blue are used for identification of the various sections and to reduce browsing time. For example, the meat section is classified under the yellow zone and all the staff working in this area wear yellow.
This is one of the cleanest and most high-tech markets we have ever been to. Not only are the floors dry, the layout of the stalls is very neat and the air-con is adequately strong. Located ten minutes away from Pasir Ris MRT, Elias 1 is at the heart of Pasir Ris, making it easily accessible for residents nearby. Its central location and refurbished new look have already attracted customers, as seen from the thousands of shoppers who attended the opening.
Elias 1 also features well-equipped digital cashier terminals and bar code scanners, compared to traditional wet markets which use weighing scales. The prices of the items sold at Elias 1 are relatively similar to those sold at other wet markets.
Roughly the size of four retail shops combined, the market features a wide variety of fresh food and poultry. The range of items sold includes processed meat, vegetables, seafood and eggs. In addition, the wet market also comprises of a dried food section, where it sells carbonated drinks, instant noodles and chocolates – a common sight found in the modern day supermarket.
Opened daily from 7am to 10pm, Elias 1 operates six hours longer than usual markets. The additional hours provide a convenience for customers who want to purchase fresh groceries after their busy work schedule.
