The deal: At this hip Tiong Bahru hangout—by Tippling Club’s Ryan Clift and Spa Esprit’s Cynthia Chua—you get three courses, plus a drink (pick either wine or a mocktail) for $35. The courses change on a daily basis but we’ve had some super smooth cauliflower soup, kicky black pepper scallop pasta and indulgent chocolate banana cake, all paired with crisp vinho verde.
Why it’s worth it: The food’s never boring and the space has the most appealing urban vibe. Besides, you'd be hard pressed to find another afforable set lunch with wine pairings in this town, and the mid-day tipple is a lovely touch.
This joint venture from Ryan Clift of Tippling Club, Spa Esprit’s Cynthia Chua and the guy who kick‑started the Tiong Bahru revolution, 40 Hands’ Harry Grover, promises bistro food at affordable prices. The three‑course set lunch goes for $35 and includes wine or a mocktail. On Saturday and Sunday (11am‑4pm), there’s brunch with dishes like house‑made beans on toast ($18).
