The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. has opened a new mini tea bar at PasarBella.

In 1872, a young man named Balage Porolis de Silva embarked on a journey into the world of luxury. He set up a jewellery boutique along High Street, Singapore, presenting not only the finest gems, but also serving the best Ceylon tea to his customers. Hailing from Sri Lanka where having tea is a daily ritual for relaxation and enjoyment, he wanted to enhance his customers’ appreciation of jewellery with tea.

Gradually, the B.P. de Silva brand name grew in reputation and became synonymous with artistry and craftsmanship. The family continues to extend the very same values and philosophy of fine jewellery into tea, elevating tea beyond a simple beverage to a premium gift. This led to the creation of The 1872 Clipper Tea Co., whose name pays tribute to the historic Clipper ships that raced to carry chests of the freshest teas to all corners of the world, at the same time acknowledging the year they planted their roots in Singapore.

The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. serves up its best-selling teas, brewed and prepared with an adventurous twist. Top off any iced-tea with its bespoke tea-infused ice cream, or go for a cup of hot tea served with a special something.

Tea lovers will get to sample and experience the flavours and freshness of The 1872 Clipper Teas at its "Tea Indulgence" corner. You can also find an interesting selection of gift teas and tea accessories.

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.

Ladurée has just opened its second outlet in Singapore at Takashimaya.

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 new all-suite wing of the Mövenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa was once a barrack base that housed British artillerymen during World War II. Now it has been meticulously restored to offer you a sense of history that’s been fully updated with every contemporary comfort.

The three-storey Heritage Wing now features 62 sumptuous suites and an all-day restaurant. During restoration by Singapore’s DP Architects, the wing’s atmospheric original features such as colonial doors, window frames, high-ceilings, wide covered "link way" corridors and other architectural details were fully renovated to their former glory.

The building’s colonial ambience was also enhanced by contemporary flourishes. For example, a 4.8-metre Y-shaped table crafted from a single piece of Indonesian teak has become a design focal point in the WOW whiskey bar in addition to full granite table tops and oversized "kerosene lamp" chandeliers.

Taking inspiration from Singapore’s culture and tropical climate, the designers incorporated atmospheric fans (as well as air- conditioning), floor-to-ceiling windows, slate bathroom floors, patchwork carpets, natural wood finishes and local design motifs.

You will be able to enjoy the majestic view of the commanding Merlion statue from your room, a reminder of Singapore's magical history and traditions, or a tranquil pool view from the room.

Dedicated butlers are assigned to all heritage suites to provide the ultimate standard of luxury and comfort. Those requiring private meeting space can also request for a complimentary meeting room for up to 2 hours. You are also invited to the elite lounge where breakfast, evening cocktails and coffee, tea and snacks are served throughout the day.

Koi Cafe has opened a new outlet at VivoCity.

The dream of travelling around the world inspired the founder to bring teas with her whenever she went overseas. She travelled to places including Hawaii, Tokyo and Australia and being away from home made her crave for authentic Home-Made Taiwanese Tea.

Little by little, the idea of building and sharing Taiwan's iconic bubble tea with the rest of the world became her dream. It was hoped that in the future, tea lovers would be impressed with Koi's joy-filled beverages.

Koi keeps Taiwan's heritage of consistent and carefully controlled premium bubble tea. As a dedicated, service-oriented enterprise that loves sharing, Koi vows not only to make tea-tasting a pleasant experience, but also to help turn Taiwanese teas into a global heritage by introducing their beverages to everyone.

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 House has opened it's very first outlet at Orchard Central.

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.

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.

BlackBall has opened it's fifth outlet at 112 Katong.

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.

A humble roulade of Porkloin comes stuffed with wild rice to give it the already delicious dish a more full-bodied and meaty texture.

Other dishes that have made a comeback lot, stock and barrel from the world of classical French food as served in Singapore in the 70s would be the lamb Veronique featuring a grilled bone-in rib of lamb paired with a beautiful sauce made of bacon, croutons and grapes. The Steak Bordelaise is a char-grilled sirloin steak that simply comes dressed in red wine jus, served in its old-fashioned style and shows off the produce incredibly.

The bar offers a good selection of champagnes, wines, whiskies and other premium spirits.
