Opened by a Michelin-starred chef, Meatsmith Western BBQ has all the fancy dishes you would expect from a restaurant at a fraction of the price. Case in point, the Smoked Char Siew Pork Ribs. At just $10, these ribs are flame-grilled on a wood-fired grill to produce its distinctive smokiness.

They’ve really taken fusion food to another level. Sophisticated and layered dishes are made using traditional Chinese ingredients and Western techniques. The Suckling Pig with XO sauce ($16), for example, is being smoked to accentuate the mellow sweetness of its five-spice rub.

Looking a lot like its counterpart from Din Tai Fung, the Pork Ribs Fried Rice ($6) here comes with the same juicy pork chop and fragrant egg fried rice. Dan Dan Noodle ($4.50) is Hao Lai Ke’s signature. Featuring generous servings of minced meat and noodles, the dish offers much value for money.

Decorated in gorgeous pastel blue and pink, A Summer In Paris has got to be one of the prettiest cafés in Singapore. Equally impressive are the cakes behind the glass display.

We recommend the Tourbillon Fruit’Thé ($9.30). It has a sweet and creamy outer shell with a light fruity centre. For something chocolatey, the Choco’dough ($8.80) is a good bet with its crunchy chocolate-coated almond base juxtaposed against milk chocolate mousse.

We tried the Beef Noodle (from $6.50) and were impressed by how large the serving was. Taste-wise, the beef brisket chunks were tender and came in generous portions. The broth had a smooth consistency and delivered strong notes of umami.
