New restaurants in Singapore this August


August is here, which means National Day, but also a whole slew of new restaurants to check out. The line-up this month is pretty intense, with over 20 eateries on the list, as well as concept eateries! If you’re looking for suggestions on fresh places to feast at, here’s our guide to the new restaurants in Singapore this August 2023.


1. Kelim Dakdoritang


Kelim-Dakdoritang-storefront (4)

Dakdoritang, AKA braised spicy chicken, isn’t one of the Korean dishes Singaporeans are the most familiar with. However, it’s time to get acquainted, as Kelim Dakdoritang, a famous Korean eatery with 60 years of history specialising in the dish, has opened their first Singaporean outlet. The eatery is located in Serangoon Gardens. 

Kelim-Dakdoritang-dakdoritang (10)

Kelim Dakdoritang offers a unique take on their signature spicy chicken stew, serving up hotpots of the dish with tender pieces of chicken, spring onion, potato chunks, tteokbokki, and a heaping serving of minced garlic. Prices start at $36.90+ for a small portion, which feeds two. Along with their chicken stew, the eatery serves a variety of sides that are worth trying, including their Dakbal ($19.90+), a spicy chicken feet dish, and their Chicken Gizzard ($15.90+), deep fried till crispy.

2. YAO YAO Sauerkraut Fish

If you love suan cai yu, AKA pickled greens fish, you’ll want to pay this new restaurant a visit. YAO YAO Sauerkraut dish is a household name in China with over 60 outlets around the country. Here, you can enjoy their signature Sauerkraut Fish in three sizes, priced from $48++. They only use Californian white seabass here, so you can be assured that the fish doesn’t taste muddy or fishy. The broth is cooked for eight hours with slices imported from Sichuan, and greens fermented for at least 24 days. It’s sour, funky, and spicy—the type of dish that hits the spot after a long day. Those looking for variety can also consider their half-and-half pot, which gets you your choice of Tomato Fish, Sichuan Poached Fish, or Typhoon Shelter Shrimp with Fries, alongside the suan cai yu.

mahmud's tandoor crispy doori burger

The first burger is the Crispy Doori Burger, which comes with a fried chicken thigh that’s been marinated extensively in tandoori spices. The smoky, crispy burger definitely hit the spot, especially when paired with their spiced fries.

quinoa bowls salt and palm

One of the highlights is Fried Quinoa ($20++), which sees the superfood reimagined as nasi goreng, fried with a house-made bumbu paste that makes the grain taste ultra legit. Their Poke Bowl ($24++) is also an easy favourite, similarly prepared with quinoa, plus rolled barley and lentils, but cooked with coconut and kaffir lime for an addictive flavour. It’s topped with sashimi salmon, scallop, and swordfish, as well as edamame, avocado, and an onsen egg. 

Finish the meal with Pandan Ricotta Hotcakes ($18++), topped with hand-whipped pandan ricotta and drizzled with palm sugar syrup for a caramelly, decadent end.

9. Sen Sen Sushi 


Sen-Sen-Sushi-Oshi-Sushi (7)

Singaporeans love Don Don Donki, and the Japanese supermarket chain is showing us love right back by opening their first standalone eatery, Sen Sen Sushi, an affordable conveyor belt sushi joint in JEM.

Sen-Sen-Sushi-Okinawa-Set (1)

Located on the mall’s third floor, the eatery seats 134 people and promises diners a fast-casual kaiten sushi experience that doesn’t skimp on quality. Most of their items are under $10. For starters, we really enjoyed their Recommend Oshi Sushi ($6.80++), which features Salmon, Shrimp, Conger Eel, and Pickled Mackerel. The fish was fresh and the rice was well-seasoned here, and you get four sushi for a decent price. They also have larger sets available, which offer more premium items. The Okinawa Set ($19.80++) is one we’d suggest, as it comes with six types of aburi sushi and a side of seared tamago.

There are 19 different street food stalls and five eateries on site, and prices are typically under $10.

Highlights include their Peanut Crunchy Candy Rolls with Ice Cream ($5)—a Jiufen dessert staple—and their Taiwanese Sausage with Sticky Rice (Garlic) ($8.80), where grilled glutinous rice is wrapped around a juicy Taiwanese sausage.

Popular home-based-business KUKI has made a name for themselves with their open-faced molten lava cookies. You can now get them without having to bother with the fuss of ordering online as KUKI has opened CAFE REN, their first brick-and-mortar eatery. 

cafe ren - flatlay

Located in Farrer Park, CAFE REN sees KUKI move away from sweets with a wide savoury menu. Most of their items are Asian-inspired, from their Avocado, Mentaiko & Egg ($18++)—a Japanese twist on avo toast—to their  Scallop & Truffle Cold Pasta ($14++), topped with ikura and furikake. Don’t fret if you’re a diehard lava cookie fan, though, as the cafe still has the brand’s signature on the menu. We especially enjoyed the Pistachio Lava Cookie ($10++), where a chocolatey cookie is dressed with a molten pistachio praline, and served with oat milk vanilla gelato.

One of our favourite stalls on-site is Kampung Nasi Lemak, which has its roots in a renowned, no-name roadside stall in KL.
