No matter what your tastes, Singapore has foodie spots to match, says Sacha Smith-Laing
QUIRKY… THE WHITE RABBIT
Housed in a converted church, this restaurant and bar has stained-glass windows, timber-panelled walls and wrought-iron grills. The chef serves up classic European comfort food with a twist, like mac and cheese with black truffles. Count your blessings! 39C Harding Rd, tel: +65 6473 9965, www.thewhiterabbit.com.sg
CINEMATIC… THE SCREENING ROOM
One of the hippest spots in town, with fine dining on the ground floor, a private cinema on the second floor and a rooftop bar with amazing views of Chinatown and a great snacks menu. 12 Ann Siang Rd, tel: +65 6221 1694
LOCATION… ION FOOD HALL
Located at the corner of Orchard Road and Scotts Road, the Ion Orchard mall is home to a food court made up of 80 stalls with dishes from around the world.
Roving drink and dim sum trolleys are a nice touch. 2 Orchard Turn, tel: +65 6238 8228, www.ionorchard.com
BUSINESS… IGGY’S
Voted Asia’s best restaurant 2009 by the Miele Guide, this eatery in the Regent Hotel is perfect for a power lunch. Many dishes feature Japanese ingredients but are prepared using European methods.

DIM SUM… DIN TAI FUNG
This Taiwanese import is the holy grail for dim sum enthusiasts. The marquee dish is xiaolongbao, delicate pork-filled dumplings with a hot, pungent broth inside. B1-03/06 Paragon Shopping Centre, 290 Orchard Rd, tel: +65 6836 8336, www.dintaifung.com.tw
AMBIANCE… MIN JIANG

HUNGOVER… PS CAFÉ
Come here for more-ish breakfasts, juicy steaks and big, tasty salads. The desserts are fantastic, particularly the key lime pie.
Be prepared to queue but once you’re sitting at a table outside, it’s worth it. 28B Harding Rd, tel: +65 9070 8782, www.pscafe.sg
