Goodbye, Alibi, which soft-launched in June 2025, finally debuts its official new menu featuring 14 signature cocktails with bold, unorthodox flavour combinations. Goodbye, Alibi was conceptualised with the enthusiastic drinker in mind — the one who looks for their third place where they can comfortably sip in silence or get rowdy with friends; and where they can sip their forever favourites or find the most daring drinks to excite their jaded palates. A brave concept built on a theme of secrecy, mystery, and curiosity, the bar aims to be a safe space for all communities to meet and gather, and focuses on unconventional community-building initiatives. Guests can also pen anonymous confessions and read the secrets left behind by others — an interactive and memorable experience.
The new menu? The perfect hat-tip to our drinkers. Though savoury sips remain a niche pleasure in general, Goodbye, Alibi goes all in with five different creations named cheekily after dating life :
Summer Fling in Bangkok ($25) : a refreshing highball style cocktail made with tequila, kaffir lime leaf, ginger, lemongrass, shallots, tomato, grapefruit, soda, lime, prawn
My Crazy Ex ($25) : Whisky, vinegar, soy caramel, ma la spices, citrus, soy crisp/vegetarian mock goose (not for the faint of heart)
Miso Broken ($25) : Vodka, pickled radish, wasabi, miso, citrus, roasted seaweed
Hang Flower, Hang-Over ($25) : Tequila, pickled chilli, fish sauce, citrus, mango foam, black sesame
Kill Me Softly ($27) : a spirit-forward martini style cocktail with gin, dry vermouth, katsuobushi, kombu, garlic brine, a quail egg
If savoury cocktails aren’t quite your thing, go for the
Coffee Meets Banana ($26) : banana rum, cold brew coffee, salted cream cheese
Rum-our Has It ($26) : Jamaican dark rum, Okinawan white rum, Campari, pineapple, rambutan, lime
Truth or Dare ($27) : a brave take on the Old Fashioned jazzed up with sour plum, orange and vermouth
CAPASSO is the new kid in the Telok Ayer/Amoy area which is already home to countless restaurants and bars. Helmed by Chef Fernando Arevalo, a familiar name in the local food scene, CAPASSO is a fearless and bold outfit that pushes out contemporary Italian dishes inspired by memories of Chef Fernando's granddad. The restaurant, which also boasts an extensive selection of wines, whiskies, and yummy cocktails, strives to provide an equal space where women can explore and enjoy whiskies alongside their male counterparts. I love that CAPASSO understands and values the tastes of ladies, and is here to smash the stereotype of whiskies being a drink more suited to the palate of men. Hurray to that!

When BBR by Alain Ducasse first opened its doors at Raffles Hotel Singapore back in 2019, I was beyond excited. After trying the food and drinks for the very first time there, I was obsessed. I couldn't even get a reservation after the opening night. Unfortunately, shortly after their grand opening, covid hit and the spacious and beautiful restaurant had to close. It's been more than a year since and the restaurant has recently reopened as OSTERIA BBR by Alain Ducasse, focusing on ingredients sourced from the Italian Riviera.


Kakiin Oyster Bar is a cozy Japanese izakaya in Orchard Plaza which accommodates 8-10 people in each seating. We made a reservation online for the 615pm seating but realised that it was already half full when we got there punctually. I later realised that the seatings run from 530pm - 8pm, and from 815pm - 1030pm. As everyone is seated at the counter, we could all watch the Japanese chef, and his 2 assistants, hard at work while navigating skillfully around the tiny kitchen. Even though the space is small, it did not reek of oil, or left us smelling like a walking bbq or fryer after we were done with the meal.

on level 33(of course) of MBFC, LeVeL 33 is the world's highest
microbrewery. Setting up of this place was a real tough job because the
giant tanks required for the brewing of the beer couldn't fit into the
elevators. Imagine the amount of work needed to lift numerous tanks up
by cranes to the 33rd floor! Talk about dedication! Apart from brewing
their own beer, the brewery does pretty solid food, and might possibly
be best known for its spectacular view of the Marina bay area, where
crowds most often gather for fireworks display come New Year's Eve or
National Day. LeVeL33 is also known for their value-for-money Executive Set Lunch which runs from Monday to Friday.

Avenue 87 is the newest kid on Amoy Street, and the brainchild of 2 Singaporean boys, Glen and Alex, who were born in 1987, and who grew up in Hougang Avenue 8 and 7 respectively. Hence, the name Avenue 87 seemed more than apt. With strong culinary backgrounds and stints at reputable dining establishments, the two came together again after their last working partnership at Tippling Club years ago. Even though Glen is based in Shanghai at the moment, he and Alex managed to work seamlessly together, virtually, to craft the modern Asian menu which is inspired by familiar flavours of childhood and their favourites dishes. The duo elevates local favourites with finesse and contemporary takes, while using ingredients from local and regional partners Are you ready to go on a nostalgic journey with Avenue 87?
