Best quinoa bowls in Singapore

A convenient, all-in-one grain bowl is the trendy dine-in or takeaway option these days, hence the reason for the mind-boggling choices available. But we’re not interested in just any ordinary grain. We’re bowled over by one of the most underrated superfoods — the healthy and humble super grain — quinoa. Packed with fibre, vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients, this glutenfree South American staple is the more superior alternative to bulghur wheat, couscous and rice.

Best beef sliders in Singapore

The beauty of the cocktail hour lies not only in the pleasure of boozy libations, but also in the bar bites that are so easy to put away. Nothing beats sinking our teeth into a scrumptious beef slider while on a bar crawl. Originally defined as a thin patty of ground beef, smashed and cooked on a griddle with onions, then topped with pickles and American cheese before being sandwiched between buns, the common and looser definition of a slider these days refers more to mini burgers, with creative non-beef fillings to boot. Soft, pillowy (not soggy) buns cradling a mini juicy beef patty and a judicious amount of cheese, pickles and condiments hit the spot when we are craving something substantial and yet won’t sit like a tonne in the tummy.
