Grab your friends seek shelter from the heat or the rain by indulging in a feast for the senses. This month, we’ve got our eyes – or should we say our tastebuds – on exquisite high tea experiences, craft beer and Peranakan food pairings, a lovely refresh of one of our faovurite Italian haunts.

Autobar

Autobar combines a zi char dining-style with a taproom experience in the middle of CBD, curating a selection of craft beers from both locally and regionally renowned breweries. The brews are on rotation, featuring the likes of Autobar Craft Lager, Myth Monkey’s Blue Galaxy Hard Seltzer, and you might also find some cocktails and meads on tap too. The bar doubles up for business catch-ups or post-work drinks, with Head Chef Yang Xueling’s Perenakan-inspired menu. Tuck into local culinary creations like Nangka Gulai, a jackfruit curry, tender Beef Cheek Rendang, Nonya Chap Chye, and the deliciously crispy Duroc Pork Schnitzel.

Take a gastronomic journey to coastal Italy, with chef’s rendition of Spaghettini Vongole e Gamberi with a white wine sauce and a lemon finish and the Polipo Scottato, grilled Mediterranean octopus with earthy aritchokes, and the Orata al Sale, a salt-baked seabream that’s drizzled with creamy oregano blanc sauce. Other highlights include the indulgent Tarfuto pinsa flatbread with black truffle and truffle cream, a creamy Risotto Cacio e Pepe, simple yet satisfying flavours of cheese and black pepper. While their signature Tiramisu remains on the menu, you might want to try the chef’s Millefoglie Porcini creation.
