Best gin fizzes in Singapore

Drink to the New Year with this carbonated gin-based highball. The gin fizz, which originated in America, is the most well-known tipple from the fizz family and can be likened to a sparkling sour courtesy of its fresh, citrusy notes. Its popularity peaked in the late 19th and early 20th century, and gave rise to variations such as New Orleans’ Ramos gin fizz, named after its creator, and the sloe gin fizz, which uses the deep red spirit flavoured with blackthorn plums.

Best kushiyakis in Singapore

You may think of kushiyaki as simple skewered meats and vegetables, but their unpretentious presentation belies the precision that go into grilling them. A kushiyaki done well should yield a woody or smoky aroma, and ingredients that explode with flavour. There’s a certain charm in the partaking of kushiyaki – your senses heighten the moment the skewers are served right off the grill and onto your plate. Few things can beat the tactile satisfaction of pulling off chunks of tender, succulent meat off the wooden sticks. For this column, we tried the entire range of kushiyaki, from the commonly sighted yakitori to more premium varieties like grilled foie gras, and round up 10 establishments that make the cut.

Best crab bee hoons in Singapore

It’s a delicate balance – ensuring thick rice noodles remain springy in a sweet, milky broth that doesn’t overwhelm with its hints of ginger, pepper or the smoky goodness of the claypot it’s cooked in. There’s also a dry version (this list features both), where thinner rice noodles are tossed in a hot wok before stewing in a broth until every strand is permeated with similar sweetness. The male crabs generally have flakier flesh and meatier claws, while female crabs are prized for their denser meat and orange orbs of creamy roe. If you are ordering this dish as part of a larger meal, allocate at least 1kg worth of crab for three people.
