Think California hipster lifestyle vibes. Run by globetrotting couple, Dustin Ramos and Iris Sangalang, this duo has brought a slice back of the many countries they have visited to their store.

Located on 75 Duxton Road, this place offers a personal touch to shopper's retail experience, thanks to the couple’s hand-selected choices of goods available. They particularly specialise in men’s clothing, so ladies expect your boys to lead the retail therapy on this one. Enjoy some serious Cali vibes in your retail experience there, followed by a spot of divine coffee served by friendly baristas!

Mahota Commune
This place has got to be up there with the favourites. We love how it combines all elements of the dining process in one spot. These guys grow, find, sell and cook the food you see. The store boasts of a grocer, a restaurant, a café, an activity studio, and an event and DIY space taking up the entire 3rd floor of the Kitchener complex, as well as a farm in Shandong. This farm-to-table establishment also provides exercise spaces – if you fancy some yoga after your meal in place of dessert. The glass façade of the space provides visitors with a clear and honest view of their spot and the transparency behind their cooking process.

12 Ann Siang
Drinks, dinner, and even a screening room showing artsy film classics, can you say swanky?

12 Ann Siang is home to Catchyfly bar, a speakeasy-style spot with interiors that can only be described as fab-u-lous. Run by Liam Baer, a New York mixologist, this place promises refreshing cocktail classics. After your pre-dinner drink head one floor up to Coriander Leaf Grill, headed by Coriander Leaf at Chijmes. And then on the third floor, settle in with a screening of film noir and art house classics, as well as more delicious F&B options.

The Carbon Collective
Time for some cocktails and Asian plates. This watch store slash bar and restaurant is full of interesting F&B concoctions, as well as luxury watches for some added retail therapy. Home to brands such as Grieb & Benzinger, Louis Moinet and Bernard Favre, shop luxuriously, and then tuck into some food at their restaurant Muse, followed by cocktails at their cocktail bar, Amuse.

Looking to eat, shop and also hang – all in the same spot? Singapore’s multi-concept restaurant scene is in full bloom, with some innovative concepts at hand. These are some faves.

Gone are the days of searching high and low for a restaurant, then a store to get some shopping done, then some place else for a spot of activity and fun. The new wave of multi-concept restaurants and stores to grace our streets of Singapore provide an alternative way of dining and entertainment.

The multi-concept restaurant provides a space designated to more than just dining, but also art, exercise, shopping, movies and generally cool hang-out vibes. With Merci Marcel’s recent opening in the hipster enclave of Tiong Bahru, it does seem like this is a trend to keep our eyes peeled for in our local restaurant scene. Browse our favourite few in the gallery above!
