The beautiful lush gardens of Dempsey Hill welcomes E+ Wine, a boutique wine retail shop that has been birthed by the desire to afford you a special little haven where good wines can be found within the confines of a charming and delightful environment.
It offers a stunning repertoire of genuinely great wines that have been selected by hand with love and passion where no wine in the store is considered average.
They represent a fast-growing Spanish wine movement but also include a stunning selection of Italian, French, Portuguese, and even Austrian and German wines that are worthy of well deserved attention. The wines come from very well known regions but are boutique in nature as E+ Wine works directly with vineyards that offer limited productions and very special grape harvests.
E+ Wines is a partnership between 'Iconic Wines', a Spanish / Singaporean wine distributor helmed by the Spanish Dynamic duo who are making waves in the Singapore wine scene, Ferran Riu & Jorge Padilla, and by the renowned and distinguished John Erdos of the furniture empire. Iconic Wines, extolled as Spain’s national pride, is a company that has been formed to enhance, to elevate and to exalt the original and die-hard winemakers that nobody hears about but that deserve attention. These winemakers, are the producers of extraordinary wine because they have not been affected by the big wine conglomerates that value quantity over quality. Iconic Wines provide a voice for the unheard and have even attracted the attention of Antonio Banderas who has co-invested in one of their own vineyards. Because Iconic Wines is a distributor, the prices that one may find at the shop are like Duty Free levels.
They work very closely with industry virtuosos to ensure that they stay up to date with great wines that are popular, but at the same time maintaining the unique essence of the boutique.
It is perfect for small intimate cocktails and canapé events for up to 50 people and they are happy to cater for almost all personal requests.
E+ Wines holds wine tastings on a very regular basis, by bringing you the actual winemakers in person, who have themselves worked with the wines and held the vines with their bare hands.
The new Home and Giving store at Star Vista, aims to provide you with products that possess three important qualities: aesthetics, functionality and quality.

From the exotic hardwoods like suar, to fine satins and mango wood, they carefully select products crafted from only the finest materials. They also carry products and services from Ovas, a renowned specialist in exclusive art décor products and services.

Paul & Joe is named after store creator Sophie Albou's two sons.
After graduating from the French Fashion Institute, she went on to join the team at Azzédine Alaia, where she developed her talent and her generous style. After the first successful working experience, she became a stylist for Le Garage Shirts and after six years decided to create her own brand.
In 1995 she launched her first menswear collection, contrasting strongly with men's fashion around at the time; young, fresh, retro and colourful. This was a resounding success; her first customers adored the collections, spurring her on to create a womenswear collection, which she did a year later. The collection was made up of shirts and trousers to begin with, but rapidly evolved, bearing more and more of the hallmarks of her unique style: fresh, highly colourful, with flamboyant prints and very feminine fabrics.
The Paul & Joe woman resembles its creator, active, bubbly; she loves to travel and loves the luxury of being able to mix and match her own wardrobe, and to accessorise it according to her mods or her timetable. She is a resolute anti-conformist.
Sophie is now developing a specific universe in all her boutiques, bringing back her unique and original finds from the far flung corners of the world, giving each of her stores its own very special charm.
The womenswear boutique in Rue Des Saints Péres opened its doors in September 2001 and is today the finest example of this. Almost simultaneously he opened a boutique in Rue Du Four dedicated exclusively to menswear.
Paul & Joe has never stopped changing. The brand has over thirty boutiques throughout the world, from Paris to London via Seoul to Jakarta and now the luxury Italian brand has arrived in Singapore. Paul & Jo is also distributed in the most prestigious multi-brand department stores in the world: Barney's, Harvey Nichols, Isetan, Le Printemps and Harrods to name but a few.
Ships sailing through or into Singapore's waters will now have an even safer voyage, thanks to a new Port Operations Control Centre outfitted with a state-of-the-art Vessel Traffic Information System (VTIS).
Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew officially commissioned the new control centre located in Changi Naval Base recently.
Vessel traffic management operators at the control centre are responsible for ensuring vessels navigate safely through Singapore's port waters.
The new VTIS makes their job even easier, integrating several systems that were previously separate including a closed-circuit television system (CCTV).
It can track up to 10,000 vessels at one time, twice the capacity of the existing VTIS, and boasts enhanced vessel monitoring functions.
This centre is Singapore's third, and will eventually replace the existing control centre at the Tanjong Pagar Complex. The VTIS at the second control centre at PSA Vista in Pasir Panjang will be upgraded to a similar system from next month. The entire project cost $25.4 million.
Roadhouse is an American-style modern diner serving all-American comfort food in a rustic yet contemporary setting.

Continuing to grow, Tippling Club launches its new open-air forest terrace. Dubbed the Tippling Terrace, it is an amazing space where guests can enjoy music and drinks under a canopy of trees and stars. The new annex has an area of over 1,000 sq feet, seating capacity for 40 people and standing room to host over 80 guests.
How They Met: Their story begins when Cynthia Chua, owner of the Spa Esprit Group, lured a reluctant Matthew Bax to Singapore for a short-term consultancy role. Impressed by Matthew’s underground Melbourne success at Der Raum, Cynthia invited him to revamp the drinks at her local joints, Barracks Café and Camp Bar. A strong friendship and business alliance was born. Matthew introduced Cynthia to his best mate, Chef Ryan Clift. Within weeks, discussions led to a joint venture that would allow Cynthia to take the next step in her dining ventures and breathe life to Matthew and Ryan’s six-year-old dream.
Who They Are: Ryan Clift – Partner/Head Chef
The Big Idea: Matthew and Ryan had long been working on a brave concept to pursue a higher form of food and drink matching and certainly a more fun approach to traditional haute cuisine and drink service. Essentially what they wanted to create was one big chef’s table, engrossing and drawing the customer into the kitchen and bar to experience all the magic of the creative process. Hence, the birth of Tippling Club.
Location, Location: A glance outside or a drink on the balcony will quickly explain the choice of location. Tippling Club is at once accessible yet refreshingly secluded. Just minutes from the CBD, you enter the oasis of Tippling Club in the remote area of Dempsey Hill and you immediately feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore. Sitting amongst ancient tower trees in a lush, tropical rainforest, the choice of location was the easiest decision the team would make.
Build it and They Will Come: Inspired by artists Christo and Jeanne Claude’s Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, designer Jerry de Souza created an equally progressive yet relaxed setting for guests. “My goal was to marry the colonial past of the existing building with a modern skin, and the ever present surrounding jungle,” says de Souza. Preserving the historical significance of the building, de Souza added a modern annex to the original structure using a mix of canvas, recycled industrial rubber, stainless steel, glass and wood. A chic industrial bar gives both diners and drinkers front row seats to the action at the bar and kitchen. Overhead, an elaborate bottle installation of rare spirits hangs within reach of the bartenders -- a design element that is a nod to Bax’s other bar, the world-renowned Der Raum in Melbourne. Outside, the newly constructed open-air forest terrace allows guest to enjoy cocktails under a canopy of trees and stars.
It has been 18 months since Croyez Studio first opened its doors to fitness enthusiasts in Singapore. With the first Power Plate and NARL studio tucked away in the lush greenery of Dempsey Hill, Director Gwendolyn Thio and Sharon Thio are now ready to take on the city. After an arduous search for locatins they have decidedly settled on Purvis Street. Hence, this February 2011 marks the beginning of Croyez@Purvis.
Purvis Street was chosen not only because of its close proximity to the heart of the cuty but also because it retains the olden charm of Singapore. Being able to open their second studio in a conserved shophouse is definitely a dream come true for them.
With the first class starting as early as 7am an the last class ending as late as 9pm, Croyez@Purvis gives greater convenience and accessibility to individuals and working professionals wishing to squeeze in a workout or two amidst their busy schedules. The new studio also runs up to 12 classes each day and this in turn gives customers more options and flexibility in terms of scheduling their Power Plate sessions.
Similar to Croyez@Dempsey, the new studio will also run 40-minute group workouts by instructors certified by Power Plate International. Personalised training sessions are also available are are by appointment only.

The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by the Belgian artist Georges Rémi (1907–1983), who wrote under the pen name of Hergé. The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtième, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le XXe Siècleon 10 January 1929. The success of the series saw the serialised strips collected into a series of twenty-four albums, spun into a successful magazine and adapted for film, radio, television and theatre. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in more than 80 languages and more than 350 million copies of the books sold to date. Its popularity around the world has been attributed to its "universal appeal" and its ability to transcend "time, language and culture."
Set during a largely realistic 20th century, the hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the highly intelligent but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupont et Dupond). Hergé himself features in several of the comics as a background character, as do his assistants in some instances.
The comic strip series has long been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Hergé's signature ligne claire style. Its "engaging", well-researchedplots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction. The stories within the Tintin series always feature slapstick humour, accompanied in later albums by satire, and political and cultural commentary.

Open Mondays to Saturdays for lunch, dinner and recently Saturday brunch, PS Café at ASH Park offers guests a reprieve from their daily grind in a quaint getaway in the heart of the city. Due to its location and operations, only adults and teenagers are permitted into this outlet.

Infusion stands for 'introduction, the act of introducing a new element'. Infusion is the brainchild of 36 year old Steffen Englund, a Norwegian-Danish PR Professional who was the Press Advisor to the Minister of Social Affairs. Steffen grew up in a family of restaurateurs across Norway and Denmark. Married to an Indonesian and residing in Singapore, Steffen was inspired to open the first Scandinavian restaurant. The idea is to provide the Scandinavian community here a relaxed venue for dining, hosting events or simply unwinding with a scotch.
There are no gimmicks or fads - just pure Scandinavian cuisine. Carefully planned, the menu is designed by the talented and renowned Danish Chef Carlsen. All ingredients are of the highest quality, imported and prepared to express simplicity, purity, freshness and flavours. Nordic cuisine has been making a comeback in recent years driven by aficionados who demand gastronomic quality cuisine and a healthy lifestyle. Nordic food is an everyday cuisine, credited with high nutritional value of omega 3 and is rich in antioxidants.
Also, the need to emphasise natural flavours is now gaining more
importance in a modern cuisine. Our dishes are simple, pure and finely
flavoured whether you order an assortment of herrings, wild Norwegian
salmon or cold-water Greenland shrimps. We let the ingredients speak for
themselves.

Don Quijote is the chivalric main character in a fictional Spanish novel titled "El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha", translated as "The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha". In episodic fashion, the novel narrates the exploits of Don Quijote who, obsessed with tales of chivalry, roves the lands in search of adventure. Accompanied by his skinny horse Rocinante and his sidekick Sancho Panza, he asks to be bestowed knighthood by an innkeeper that he thinks is the lord of a castle and battles wind mills that he believes to be ferocious giants.
Not surprisingly, Don Quijote becomes the subject of many cruel jokes. The novel eventually ended with him regaining his full sanity and renouncing all chivalry. Recognised as one of the world's best works of fiction, the novel went on to inspire many artists in the musical, literary and filmmaking fields.
Today, Don Quijote is the name of an authentic Spanish restaurant with branches in Macao and Singapore. Famed for our critically acclaimed tapas and traditionally made Spanish fare like the Paella Valencia, Don Quijote offers an extensive Spanish menu including over twenty five tapas, savoury soups, fresh seafood and salads, delectable pastas and very succulent meats.
Only the freshest ingredients are used in making
each and every one of our dishes where you'll be left wanting nothing
more. Complete your gastronomic adventure with selected choice wines, a
bar that pours the best cocktails and Sangria that's absolutely divine.
Don Quijote's contemporary and friendly setting appeals to one and all
and combined with fine Spanish fare, you'll be set for truly indulgent
dining experience.
