If there’s one spot you gotta put on your must-visit list, it’s this mysterious Australian eatery located at the corner of Club Street and Ann Siang. Even before an official opening, I’ve seen it filled to the brim with people, wine glasses in hand and standing by the bar because no seats were left. Having taken over the old Low Tide and Ssal, Club Street Laundry and Hup San Social Club are establishments inspired by their heritage-rich locale within the neighbourhood.

After spending hours exploring Outram Park, we’ve realised just how interconnected it is. As a gateway to districts like Duxton, Keong Saik, Neil Road, and Chinatown, it’s one of the best starting points for a full day of exploration. While combing the streets, there were so many nooks and crannies that our legs almost gave up before our curiosity did. Before you plan your next outing to the neighbourhood, have a look at everything we spotted and tried.

Can Singaporean food be fancy? Well, that’s what Belimbing aims to do with Singapore cuisine. When you imagine Singaporean cuisine, you probably think about typical hawker fare. I’m talking chilli crab, char kway teow, chicken rice, nasi lemak – you get the picture. It’s fuss-free, comforting, and best found in zi char spots. But what if our local flavours were stretched to their limits and raised to new heights? That’s where the team at Belimbing come in, and I believe they’re onto something.

Affordable French dishes by a Michelin-starred chef? What a dream. When it comes to date night, I personally prefer dinner and drinks at a romantic restaurant. Almost every restaurant in the Dempsey enclave is high on my must-visit list, but none of them compares to Claudine. Who can say no to French fare served within an old chapel? But like most price-conscious Singaporeans, the price tag often means saving Claudine for an extra special celebration.

Violet Oon Singapore has taken its first momentous step, opening the brand’s first standalone restaurant within the lush Dempsey enclave. News of its Jewel outlet shutting down spread like wildfire when it was announced in February, but now that the Peranakan restaurant has established a new home, food lovers and dedicated fans need not fret. Opened alongside her children Yiming and Su-Lyn, the Dempsey outpost was born out of a labour of love and dedication from the whole family.
