• Chef Jimi Tegerdine of LeVeL33 has introduced over 20 newcomers to the menu, including pumpkin ravioli ($16) for dessert and slow-roasted Kurobuta pork belly with rosemary-poached dates ($22). Our picks are the stunning yet simple Back & Belly—a duo of chargrilled 200-days-aged Stockyard sirloin and braised blackened brisket ($43.50), and Crystal Bay prawn ceviche with citrus-pomegranate salsa ($24); both go down well with their craft brews.
  •  Fresh face chef Ben McBride has claimed his side of Chinatown at Bistro Soori and introduced scrumptious items like pistachio pesto-topped scallops with Muscat vinegar gelee ($19) and beef duo—12-hour braised short rib and pan-roasted hanger steak with candied garlic ($39). The wine-poached pear filled with foie gras mousse, accented by a pink peppercorn sauce ($21), is one of those rare offerings that will have you cleaning your plates shamelessly.
  • For all you Friday night partiers, Clifford at The Fullerton Bay Hotel has the perfect hangover solution—a Saturday Hangover Brunch.
