Arbite, a favourite in Serangoon Garden's dining scene, has expanded its "Work Hard, Live Well" philosophy to Kampong Glam.
A for Arbite is the only establishment in Singapore to serve Belgian craft beers such as Lindemans, Palm and Steenbrugge Abbey, the latter two making their first-ever appearances on tap in Singapore.
They also features a specially crafted menu by Chef Marc Wee that demonstrates his playful approach to reinventing classics, including the Spaghetti with Tri-Pepper Crab, Arbite’s take on Singapore’s favourite pepper crab and the Scotch Egg with Yuzu and Wasabi Hollandaise, a classic English pub grub with a Japanese twist.
Arbite (ahr-bahyt) is a pun on the German/Danish word for work (arbeit/arbejde). Inspired by Europe but rooted in Singapore, this philosophy of working hard and living well is exemplified in everything that they do and the food they serve.
The TapMaster, a specially-engineered beer tap, has been brought in to maintain optimal freshness of A for Arbite’s Belgian draughts. Amber Ale, Abbey Double Brown, Abbey Tripel, Pilsner and Lindemans Peach beer are available on tap along with other favourites in bottles. A for Arbite features a tasting menu of five different beers and dishes which Chef Marc Wee has specially selected to match the Belgian brews. Non-beer drinkers can pair their food with artisanal teas.
The 64-seat, 2,000 square feet restaurant is at the heart of the Kampong Glam's latest dining stretch; Aliwal Street. 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. The name "A for Arbite’ is a tribute to the Aliwal Arts Centre’s former identities as Chong Cheng School and Chong Pun Girls' School. It has since been refurbished by the National Arts Council to create space for both budding and established artists to showcase their works and talent.
Asia’s largest private cord blood storage facility has been opened by Cordlife. It aims to encourage parents to preserve samples of their children’s stem cells.
The Company currently owns and operates two stem cell banks with full processing and cryopreservation storage facilities in Singapore and Hong Kong. Its affiliates also operate in India, Indonesia and the Philippines.
The first cord blood bank to be set up in Singapore was back in May 2001 and was among the first in Asia. Cordlife Group Limited therefore has more than 10 years of cord blood banking experience as well as a published successful cord blood transplant and application track record.
The Company’s processing and storage facility in Singapore is also AABB-accredited and MOH-licensed, meeting both local and international standards in cord blood banking.
Only around 25 per cent of children born in Singapore have their cord blood stem cells put into storage by their parents. Umbilical cord blood at birth is rich in stem cells that can be stored and later used for treatment if the child contracts diseases like leukemia, cerebral palsy and other blood and immunodeficiency disorders.
The Yishun facility, Cordlife’s third in Singapore, boasts a storage capacity of 650,000 units and state-of-the-art technology.

The 10,200 square feet i.t store, is a spacious venue carrying nine avant-garde new-to-Singapore, cutting-edge street fashion brands, namely izzue, b + a b, 5cm, tout à coup, fingercroxx, Venilla suite, as well as de base, mysty woman and Pageboy.
These innovative brands target both male and female young adults, aged between 20 and 35 years old, who appreciate the fusion of trendy and fashion-forward apparel to create their own individualistic signature style. Of which, izzue, b + a b, 5cm, fingercroxx and tout à coup are some of the most well-loved and successful i.t brands that have established a strong foothold in Hong Kong and beyond since their debut.
Their collection of cutting edge street fashion brands will bring you a dynamic shopping experience. Always on the look-out to break new grounds, this partnership with the I.T Group, cements Wing Tai Retail’s growing stature as a fashion-forward retailer in Singapore.
The store concept is inspired by i.t's Hollywood Plaza store at the heart of Hong Kong’s Mongkok. The very first i.t store in Singapore uses different woods to construct a variety of patterns, creating i.t’s signature edgy look. The façade features diamond patterns created by cherry woods and willows while the display window is accentuated with brass frames that add a cool rawness to the store. Unlike its Hong Kong counterpart, the Singapore store takes a refreshing approach. Extending the design theme of the store façade, wood is also used to exude a modernist shop interior. Different brands have different yet consistent themes for their own areas which showcase the DNA of each brand.
The history of Lange watchmaking artistry is closely related to the company’s Saxon homeland. The roots of its values and ideals that are still valid today date back to the Royal Court of Saxony under the reign of Augustus the Strong.
Every Lange movement reflects the almost 170-year heritage of the Saxon manufactory. The company’s history is imbued in the characteristic features that make A. Lange & Söhne timepieces distinctive masterpieces. At A. Lange & Söhne, every part of a movement is decorated with its very own finissage technique, whether or not it is visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback of the watch. Additionally, as these finishing touches are applied by hand, Lange’s finisseurs endow each timepiece with their personal signature. The manual finissage of manufacture movements with up to 556 components ranks among the most time-consuming processes in watchmaking.
In the field of horology, Lange’s calibre engineers uphold the Saxon spirit of innovation by crafting fascinating movements. Thanks to their ingenuity, precision watchmaking has been advanced step by step. All quality-relevant parts of a Lange movement are developed, manufactured and finished in the manufactory.

Sink your teeth into your first Chewy Junior and you'll know it's not any ordinary cream puff.
It's crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy on the inside, making it perfect to munch on. The puffs were an accidental creation by founder Kevin Ong, who had experimented with a blend of recipes from two different countries. It then took him two years to adjust the processes and bring the puffs to perfection.

Chewy Junior sells thousands of puffs daily in every outlet. You'll be spoilt with choice with their selection of delicious flavours to choose from.
Ito-Kacho, a new-corner to Singapore's gastronomic scene, might very well show us how it is done when it comes to serving high quality beef.
A subsidiary of a large Japanese corporation known as Sumikin Bussan, Ito-Kacho was first established in 2009 in Japan with the sole intention of providing you an opportunity to taste top grade barbecued beef at a more affordable cost. They import their stock of Wagyu cattle solely from an island called Kyushu.
As one of the first Yakiniku (barbecue) restaurants in Japan to use chilled instead of frozen meat, Ito-Kacho gives your taste buds an entirely new experience when it comes to beef. Due to the temperature at which the beef is stored at, its marbling is retained and thereby gives a better overall consistency.
Their extensive menu includes premium cuts such as Wagyu-Sasami (Flank Steak) and Toku-Jo-Bara (Short Rib) which are guaranteed to melt in your mouth, whilst the unusual offering of Wagyu tongue (Cow's tongue) is available if you are curious enough to venture into a more unfamiliar territory.
The interior design of the restaurant is a sleek, classy combination of black and brown wood. This coupled with warm and inviting lighting, provides you with a cosy feeling. If you are worried about the accompanying smell of smoke and barbecue, rest assured, the convection system built into the barbecue pit sucks out any air that rises above the cooking food.
Macha, a finely milled green tea has been associated with the tradition of Japanese tea ceremony. Different from a common green tea powder, Macha is much more refined, richer in aroma and has a smoother texture, besides the abundance of health benefits it brings.
From the Tang Dynasty in China to the Song Dynasty and later formed into a ritual by Zen Buddhists, Macha has been enjoyed throughout history. With the introduction of Macha House, this fine blend can be enjoyed locally at Orchard Central.
The concept of Macha House is the brain child of the chairman of the company, Mr Hitoshi Goto. Mr Goto enjoys a good cup of Macha and his passion to share health benefits with his friends has led to the creation of the brand.
The traditional ways of the Macha is authentically brought over to Singapore. The Dorayaki is one of the specialities you’ll be able to enjoy that represents Japanese sweets arranged with a western fusion of style alongside their other deliciously blended green tea beverages.

Drawing from the idea of "Xian Cao" being "black" in colour and taro "balls", came the birth of BlackBall, a dessert connoiseur that has its roots in Taiwan.
The desert restaurant company was founded and created by Mr. Tang, who is an experienced tour guide, when he came across "Xian Cao" by chance upon travelling to Guan Xi. He was thrilled and excited by what he had encountered, as not only did his new discovery taste great, but it also provided various health benefits. It was from this experience that his dream was born.
This dream finally came true for him after setting up the BlackBall Company in Taipei, introducing the amazing characteristics of "Xian Cao". The ingredient has now become a key inclusion in most traditional desserts accross Taiwan. Having started the BlackBall company back in 2006 it has now bloomed and stands as one of the biggest dessert chains in Taipei with over 20 outlets plus a further 10 outlets in Malaysia.

RS Deli is a new youthful, chic diner serving traditional Indonesian cuisine with a modern twist.
Their menu consists of mould-breaking East-West fusion creations such as Nasi Lemak Burger, Kampong Spaghetti and Belado Fish & Chips. Other creations like the Satay Chicken Burger and Beef Rendang Burger are both covered in traditional sauces but tucked into a burger bun and served with fries and Indonesian coleslaw.

She is also the pioneer behind Rasa Sayang, a renowned home bakery specilaizing in festive goodies, such as kue lapis, that she still runs out of her native Jakarta today.
Her brand of crackers, cakes and savoury snacks have carved out a loyal following in Singapore ever since she first started selling her confections at Takashimaya's annual Chinese New Year food fair in 1998.

There are also traditional Indonesian offerings like Chicken Gulai, citrusy Javanese-style curry chicken and Chicken Lontong done with turnip instead of cabbage. The dried shrimp floss-dusted potato chips that come with the rice sets are also instantly addictive.
Their cheery red-and-white interiors exude an atmosphere of hip, fashionable café rather than a traditional Indonesian eatery. The hand drawn lampshades are also a testament to the warmth and passion that is invested in the restaurant.

The design for this Malaysian-Singaporean joint venture actively engages the space of the surrounding city to form a new civic nucleus in Singapore’s modern metropolis. The two towers are not conceived as autonomous objects, but defined by the spaces they create around them.
The design for DUO subtracts circular carvings from the allowable building volumes in a series of concave movements that generate urban spaces, a kind of "urban poché" that co-opts adjacent buildings and symbiotically inscribes the two towers into their context.
By generating the massing through a subtractive process, the elevations of the new towers are reduced to slender profiles. Vertical facades rise skywards along the adjoining roads, while a net-like hexagonal pattern of sunshades reinforces the dynamic concave shapes. The duo of tower volumes is further sculpted to feature a series of cantilevers and setbacks that evoke choreographed kinetic movements of the building silhouettes.
The buildings dematerialize as they reach the ground to provide a porous permeable landscape traversing the site. Leisure zones and gardens act as a connector between multiple transport hubs and establish a flow of tropical greenery and lively commercial activity, accessible to the public 24 hours a day. A plaza, carved into the center of the towers and integrating the neighboring building as part of its perimeter, forms a new public nexus between the historic district of Kampong Glam and the extension of the city’s commercial corridor.
Multiple levels of vertical connectivity give access to large elevated terraces for the hotel and residents, a public observation deck and a sky restaurant atop the office/hotel tower, while establishing a direct connection to the adjacent underground MRT subway station. Vehicular traffic is lifted off the ground to allow an uninterrupted pedestrian circulation. Extensive landscape areas at the ground levels, elevated terraces and roofscapes provide accessible green space equal to 100% of the site area.
Construction is scheduled to start in 2013, with completion pencilled in for 2017.
26,700m2 lot bounded by Ophir Road, Beach Road, Rochor Road, North Bridge Road and Fraser Street

The name stems from the legendary lost continent of MU, coined by 19th century traveller and writer Augustus Le Plongeon. MU also refers to the Japanese word “ç„¡” which means “nothing” reflected by the bare studio-like concept of the space.
Stepping into the parlour invokes an Alice-in-Wonderland experience as you tunnel your way through an exposed red brick stairwell to find yourself greeted by a whole new whimsical world. MU is furnished with a capricious mishmash of furniture- wooden garden benches lie next to elaborate iron wrought chairs, a framed pop-culture poster suspends above an antique chest of dresser drawers. White-washed walls and ceilings coupled with hanging stage lights create a studio-like atmosphere that in turn draws your attention to the details of the furnishings.
MU serves up an array of gourmet burgers that are made daily and never frozen. Bite into the No. 11 that’s packed with creamy chunks of avocado. Crisp iceberg lettuce, fresh onions and ripened tomatoes lend the burger a satisfying crunch and topped off with smokiness from sapid strips of bacon. Other highlights include the No. 29 with juicy Portobello mushroom and No. 2 that’s spiced with paprika and jalapenos. Each burger comes accompanied by a side of tangy California garlic fries for you to nosh on. Sweet endings come in the form of delectable pastries and tarts. Signature pastries include the Lemon Meringue Tart and Lemon and Hazelnut Praline Mousse.
Picking your poison will be a great feat when faced with MU’s intriguing selection of cocktails. The Eugenia is made with a fragrant Hibiscus tea base complemented with tropical notes of passion fruit and grapefruit, the punch in the drink comes from generous shots of Tanqueray Ten and MU’s own homemade Limoncello.
MU is not just a café, neither a studio and nor a boutique. MU is about delivering a lifestyle for those who seek it. It is a sanctuary for the weary, inspiration to the uninspired, a blank canvas for the imaginative.
