New Restaurants to Try Out in December 2023 in Singapore

Lo Quay Singapore

If you’re exploring new Vietnamese cuisine, Lo Quay, a new restaurant in Singapore, is a spot that might catch your eye on Google. Tucked away on Amoy Street in a shophouse, this restaurant goes for a low-key vibe. You even have to ring a doorbell to get in! Once inside, the ambiance is moody and stylish, with AI-generated artworks for sale on the walls.

Forget the regular menu and choose the Discover menu (S$138+), available for dinner from Monday to Saturday in Singapore. It mirrors chef Qunyh Brown’s take on modern Vietnamese cuisine. The starter includes seven snacks like wagyu tartare, oyster with caviar, and scallop and ikura in a pate choux. The banh mi Wellington adds a cool twist with glazed puff pastry and pickled Japanese cucumbers.

The fried jackfruit with tomato surprised everyone at the table. It tasted nothing like the fruit! It’s a unique experience that requires a moment to process after each bite. Move to the pho bo (beef noodle soup) for a flavorful combo of beef broth, wagyu, and offal bits. Now, onto the main dishes—perfect for sharing among three people. Choose from lamb, sea bass, duck, or wagyu. The whole sea bass, served with tangy citrus salad, is flaky and homely—an absolute comfort.

For meat lovers, the wagyu steals the show with its tenderness and flavorful kick from the demi-glace. And, of course, the meal isn’t complete without dessert. Chef Qunyh transforms Vietnamese coffee into a crunch parfait with condensed milk and espresso sponge—a refreshing end to the dinner.

If you dine here, pair your meal with carefully chosen vintage wines (S$98+). The sommelier suggests them.

Chicco Pasta Bar

Simple and tasty food—that’s what you’ll find at Chicco Pasta Bar, new restaurant in Singapore. Look no further if you want a place with a chill atmosphere and homemade pasta that won’t break the bank. Chicco Pasta Bar, run by Australian-Italian chef Drew Nocente, is our top pick for a casual meal, whether it’s a quick lunch with coworkers, a relaxed dinner with friends, or a laid-back first date.

Chef Drew takes pride in serving fresh pasta daily, offering varieties like conchiglie, rigatoni, and mafaldine. Almost half of the menu features signature dishes that are well-loved, and we agree after trying them out.

• For a cheesy start, go for the fried mozzarella and basil (S$12) or the classic burrata (S$20) served on a bed of rocket leaves, cucumber slices, and melon chunks.
• Then, indulge in some carb goodness with the fluffy focaccia slices (starting at S$10), generously topped with chorizo, zucchini, roasted pork belly, or fennel.
• And, of course, you can’t miss the pasta! The carbonara (S$18) is our favorite—wonderfully creamy and tossed with guanciale, egg, and pepper, just as it should be.

• Don’t forget to try the fresh and flavorful tagliolini with slipper lobster and bisque (S$24) and the fusilli with mushroom and nduja (S$20).
• If you’re with friends, dive into the dinner-exclusive meaty mains like pork with roasted baby potatoes (S$24) or Australian grass-fed ribeye (S$28).
• Finish your meal with the pistachio tiramisu and coffee mascarpone (S$12), a dessert worth capturing on camera as the rich, creamy layer cascades down the side.

Without a doubt, you’ll be back for seconds on everything.

Nong Geng Ji

Exciting news for food lovers in Singapore! A famous Hunan cuisine spot has opened its first international branch in Singapore. Grab your friends, secure a table, and get ready to savor genuine dishes. Watch for their top pick: stir-fried pork with juicy baby abalone and Hunan green peppers. This dish is served in a wok with a burner, ensuring it stays warm throughout your meal.

Another must-try is the pan-seared green chilies with century eggs and garlic. It comes in mortar, and you must work before digging in. Just pound everything, release the aromas and goodness, mix it up, and enjoy. If you’re a fan of fish heads, don’t pass up the steamed fish head with chopped peppers. The soy sauce and red and green peppers add a sweet and spicy kick to the freshwater fat-head fish.

Important note: Pair everything with rice. Don’t forget to order the Wuchang steamed rice with sweet potatoes and red dates. If rice isn’t your go-to carb, try the steamed shrimp with vermicelli and garlic. And after all those spicy delights, quench your thirst with their signature lemon tea. It’s a refreshing way to wrap up your meal.

Altro Zafferano

Craving a delightful Italian feast? You’re in for a treat! Altro Zafferano, new restaurant in Singapore, is introducing a brand-new a la carte menu, embracing seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, honeyed fruit, and the finest catches from the Mediterranean Sea. Executive chef Andrea de Paola interprets the menu through the lens of southern Italy, blending flavors inspired by the region’s rich history and stories.

For the ultimate experience, we recommend the four-course Experience menu (S$148). Choose a starter, pasta, main course, and dessert, and enjoy it 43 floors up with stunning city views. The aquarelle risotto, topped with scallop crudo and sea grapes, is a hearty dish bursting with ocean flavors. The scampi tortelli is a light option with a fragrant mushroom tea. Feeling like a bit of extravagance? Treat yourself to something special and consider splurging on the Santoku Wagyu striploin.

The show’s star is the house-made tagliolini with Piedmont white truffle shavings (a surprise off-menu item). The thin pasta is coated in a creamy sauce that’s delightfully salty without being overwhelming. Don’t forget the thoughtful wine pairing for each dish you choose. Wrap up your meal with a drink or two in the alfresco area to soak in the views. Cheers!

New Singapore Restaurants to Try in November 2023

Whether you want fish and chips, Michelin-starred cuisine, meaty meals or plant-based dishes, there’s something for everyone in our selection of new restaurants found across Singapore. Bon appetit!

Burma Social

If you’ve ever visited Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), you’ll know that its residents are some of the friendliest people in the world. Strangely, its food gets little international recognition even though it is up there with some of Asia’s finest (thanks partly to the influence of its neighbouring countries of Thailand, India, Laos, Bangladesh, and China). Burma Social, on Tras Street near Tanjong Pagar, is attempting to finally put Myanmar cuisine on the map through its menu, that includes wok-fried dishes such as its chilli-and-pepper-infused mala chicken, and broths such as its spicy tomato-and-coconut-based curry.

Anyone craving a traditional Sunday roast can choose between roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing, roast striploin beef with horseradish, roast crackling pork with apple jam, and roast cauliflower with Irish cheddar cheese sauce.
