The Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow (at Old Airport Road) and Outram Park Fried Kway Teow (at Hong Lim Market and Food Center) were awarded the Bib Gourmand distinctions, giving this quintessentially Singaporean dish the overdue Michelin approval it deserves.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The Bib Gourmand award, which first launched in 1997, recognises both restaurants and street food establishments shortlisted by Michelin inspectors for offering quality cuisines at affordable prices (i.e. no more than SGD45).&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The number of Michelin Bib awardees this year is certainly a testament to our dynamic local food scene, from our contemporary restaurants to the &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/hawker-stalls-restaurant-worthy-237473.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;much-loved hawker stalls dishing out generations-old recipes.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;For the full list of awardees (listed alphabetically), click &#60;a href=&#34;https://d3h1lg3ksw6i6b.cloudfront.net/media/pdf/MICHELIN_GUIDE_SINGAPORE_2018_BIB_GOURMAND_SELECTION.pdf?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;here&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: The Coconut Club (header), Muthu&#039;s Curry&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/famous-hong-kong-restaurants-you-can-find-in-singapore-307923.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;7 Iconic Hong Kong eateries that have made their way to Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/?s=affordable+michelin+&#38;#038;utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;A Must-Try: 7 Affordable Michelin Star restaurants in Asia you must visit&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/a-z-guide-best-local-dishes-singapore-275775.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;The Ultimate A-Z guide to the best dishes to eat in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/50-eateries-singapore-receive-2018-michelin-bib-gourmand-321576.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/50-eateries-singapore-receive-2018-michelin-bib-gourmand-321576.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Fancy a Katong Laksa cocktail? Here's why Amrith by Barsmiths might be our new favourite watering hole. <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[ &#60;p&#62;In a sea of new bars and revamped menus, we confess: it can sometimes be hard to get truly excited or blown away by a new bar concept. However, we&#039;re not mincing our words when we say might have found our new favourite watering hole.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Located in the glasshouse space just outside The Song of India is &#60;strong&#62;Amrith by Barsmiths&#60;/strong&#62;, the bar extension of the&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/michelin-star-restaurants-asia-211701.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;one Michelin-starred restaurant.&#60;/a&#62; With its sleek glasshouse interiors and open ambience, Amrith&#039;s vibe couldn&#039;t be more perfectly poised for a bar whose approach to its drinks is so refreshing - yet remains absolutely delicious even to the average cocktail-drinker.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Its premise is simple: the cocktails are meant to showcase both local and global flavours, reinvented using modern techniques and fresh ingredients. At the helm of the bar is Head Bartender Edwin Poh and Mark Tay. The dynamic duo has managed to distil classic Singaporean and Asian dishes like the &#60;em&#62;Hainanese Chicken Rice&#60;/em&#62;, &#60;em&#62;Katong Laksa&#60;/em&#62;, and &#60;em&#62;Tom Yam&#60;/em&#62; into savoury cocktails that fuse gastronomy with mixology.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;CLASSIC SINGAPOREAN FLAVOURS DISTILLED INTO COCKTAILS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Katong Laksa&#60;/em&#62; is a cocktail based on Ng&#039;s original family recipe. He pairs rice noodles, vodka with shrimp essence (it&#039;s a lot more promising and palatable than it sounds), with a laksa broth reduction that is topped with a homemade quail egg - all served in a little bowl for a final presentation that looks so convincing we almost forgot it was a cocktail.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;There are also personal touches to the menu. &#60;em&#62;The Peranakan&#60;/em&#62;, an ode to Tay&#039;s grandmother, is a spin on a gin sour using pandan syrup, gin strained through ginger and a delightful rose mist (which he creates himself using rose petals).&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The cocktails are affordably priced as well (SGD24 for the Katong Laksa)&#160; - which we think it&#039;s worth the buck considering you&#039;re getting quite the multi-sensory experience as well.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MICHELIN-STARRED BAR BITES FROM THE SONG OF INDIA&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-321365&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;size-medium wp-image-321365 img-responsive  aligncenter&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/songofindia-399x600.png&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;399&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Just when we thought the drinks blew us away, we learnt that Amrith serves its bar bites from the neighbouring &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/gettin-saucy-7-romantic-indian-restaurants-to-swing-by-for-date-night-304456.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;The Song of India&#60;/a&#62;. You heard it here first: if you haven&#039;t had creamy Michelin-starred cheese naan and fragrant chicken tikka skewers with your alcohol, you&#039;re missing out.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It might seem like a strange pairing - i.e. Indian food and cocktails. But it surprisingly works, perhaps owing to the flavour palate of the Asian-inspired drinks.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;These drinks are part of its World Journey collection on its main menu, which will be updated quarterly, each time shining a line on different regions in the world. (For this season, the spotlight&#039;s on Thailand and Netherlands.)&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Verdict&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-321364&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;size-medium wp-image-321364 img-responsive  aligncenter&#34; src=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/07/amrith-bar-625x393.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;625&#34; height=&#34;393&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We get it: the likes of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/local-inspired-cocktails-singapore-277190.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;tom yam cocktails and nasi lemak concoctions&#60;/a&#62; aren&#039;t necessarily new anymore.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But it&#039;s rare to find a bar that genuinely ticks the boxes on everything you want out of a bar: a fresh and fearless approach to mixology, great vibes and ambience, yummy bar food (peanuts or fries just don&#039;t cut it for us anymore!), and also how every sip of its concoctions are bursting with familiar local flavours.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Amrith, which actually translates to &#34;nectar of the gods&#34; in Sanskrit, might certainly be setting the bar for itself at divine-high standards. Some bars are a one-hit wonder - you pop by for a drink or two, just for the sake of it.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;But boy, these are some cocktails we&#039;d readily come back for.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Amrith is located at 33 Scotts Road and is open Monday to Thursdays (5 pm to midnight), and Fridays and Saturdays (5 pm to 1 am).&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan &#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Amrith&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-bars-singapore-unconventional-cocktails-284852.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Bak Kut Teh &#38;amp; Nasi Lemak Cocktails?

Whether it&#039;s to drown their sorrows in chicken wings (hello, Brazil fans) or to celebrate a historic win (Korea!), during game nights, Singaporeans were hungry and opted massively for late night delivery options. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In fact, Foodpanda enjoyed nearly a 40 % increase in sales compared to a regular day - now that&#8217;s a lot of people opting for a&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/night-owls-late-night-dining-supper-craving-85062.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62; late-night supper&#60;/a&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;MOST POPULAR FOODS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The five most ordered foods from Foodpanda were included quintessential &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/bar-food-singapore-268037.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Western bar bites:&#60;/a&#62; &#60;strong&#62;pizza, burgers, and chicken wings, as well as&#160; Asian &#039;drunk food&#039; like &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/top-10-spots-halal-dim-sum-kl-314053.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;dim sum&#60;/a&#62; and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-sushi-bars-in-singapore-175037.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;sushi&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;THE HUNGRIEST DAY...&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;They say that &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-mac-cheese-singapore-214950.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;food is the most primitive form of comfort&#60;/a&#62;, and the World Cup certainly proved that! According to Foodpanda, the most popular day for World Cup gastronomania was &#60;strong&#62;July 7&#60;/strong&#62;, the&#160;night of the nail-biting semifinals between England vs. Sweden and Russia vs. Croatia. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And get this: watchers usually place their orders pre-match so that their food is delivered &#60;em&#62;during &#60;/em&#62;the match. You might scratch your heads as to why they would want to be interrupted by the doorbell, but there you have it.&#60;strong&#62;&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;... AND&#160;THE HUNGRIEST NEIGHBOURHOODS&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Interestingly, there wasn&#8217;t an East-West competition regarding the most hungry regions in Singapore, considering how &#60;strong&#62;Singapore&#039;s Central and Eastern areas,&#60;/strong&#62; as well as&#60;strong&#62;&#160;Hougang/Sengkang, &#60;/strong&#62;had the most numbers of people who ordered in. Maybe these regions have the most football fans?

Happening every Wednesday evening, it ticks the boxes on everything you&#039;d want from the perfect night out with the girls&#039;: great ambience, delicious cocktails, and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/10-best-bars-with-live-music-in-singapore-165655.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;soulful live music&#60;/a&#62; from the uber-talented Nick Zavior.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Each month,&#160;Head Bartender Bystrik Uko will curate a dedicated cocktail menu focusing on a single spirit. This July, its menu focuses on&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/cointreau-x-jiggerspony-ladies-night-out-cocktails-4834.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;&#60;strong&#62;the Cointreau,&#160;&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/a&#62;its spirit of the month. Exclusively available on its Gossip Night, the cocktails are what you&#039;d consider as traditionally &#039;girly&#039; brews - but perfectly executed in a way that makes them stand in the same league as its other signature tipples.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;p&#62;Having tried the cocktails ourselves, we found them to be refreshing, not overpoweringly sweet, perfectly balanced in flavour, and didn&#039;t leave us feeling worse for wear the next day. Our favourite was probably the &#60;strong&#62;Clear Strawberry Margarita&#60;/strong&#62;, a delightfully refreshing take on the classic margarita consisting of a re-distilled strawberry tequila, Cointreau orange liquer, citrus cordial and salted agave. (It was so good that we ordered seconds - maybe a third, between you and me.)&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We also loved the &#60;strong&#62;Citrus Glory&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;a citrusy medley infused with the Cointreau orange liquer, honey distillate, three citrus cordial and lemon for an extra citrusy punch. There&#039;s also the &#60;strong&#62;Dreamliner,&#60;/strong&#62;&#160;featuring the Cointreau orange liquer, raspberry and kaffir lime shrub, lemon and topped with soda, for a light, fizzy tipple. All cocktails will be available at SDG16++ per glass.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;If your night is missing a little bubbles, opt for a glass (SGD16++) or bottle of the Veuve Clicquot champagne (SGD90++). There&#039;s also scrumptious bar bites like &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/nyc-burger-milkshake-parlour-opens-first-asian-store-singapore-305640.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;the juicy sliders&#60;/a&#62;&#160;to go along with your drinks. In a bid to spoil you&#160;the only way you deserve, Origin Bar will be treating the first 50 ladies to arrive with a welcome cocktail on the house. Not a bad way to wind down on Wednesdays, in our humble opinion.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;We mean it: Origin Bar&#039;s ladies night might just be the only ladies night we&#039;d drag our ever-so creaky limbs and give up our increasingly earlier bedtimes for.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Officially launching July 4, 2018, Origin Bar&#039;s Gossip Night will take place every Wednesday evening from &#60;/em&#62;6 &#60;em&#62;PM onwards.&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Origin Bar&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/new-restaurants-and-bars/bars-check-singapore-july-2018-318921.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Cool new bars to check out in Singapore: July 2018&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-hotel-bars-singapore-269496.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Hotel Bars in Singapore: Where to go for a five-star tipple&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-tapas-bars-singapore-intimate-dinner-date-291398.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Wine &#38;amp; Dine: 7 Trendy tapas bars for an intimate dinner date&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/listen-up-ladies-theres-a-new-ladies-night-in-town-at-origin-bar-319224.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/dishing-out/fb-news/listen-up-ladies-theres-a-new-ladies-night-in-town-at-origin-bar-319224.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
