My top bite of the week: an Italian spot dishing out bold flavours and main character energy 👑
4 legendary toast joints you need on your breakfast radar 🤤
Return of the biggest food festival in Singapore 🍽️

Let’s dive right in!

🌟 Foodie Spotlight

Introducing Italian food that won’t disappoint…

Marcy’s! (your time has come ✨)

Tucked away on Duxton Hill, Marcy’s is a chic seafood-forward bar and supper spot with serious character. The menu is playful yet elevated -think seafood mafaldine, crab toasts and moody cocktails that match the sultry interiors. My personal favourite would have to be the Silverdale Ranch Prime Beef Tartare - creamy, perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness!

Perfect for date nights, late dinners, or an indulgent wind-down.
