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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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;http://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/hk/food-hk/dishing-out-hk/fb-news-hk/listen-up-ladies-theres-a-new-ladies-night-in-town-at-origin-bar-332538.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/food-hk/dishing-out-hk/fb-news-hk/listen-up-ladies-theres-a-new-ladies-night-in-town-at-origin-bar-332538.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		A slice of Hermès Himalaya 25 Birkin, please?<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>												
								<content:encoded><![CDATA[ &#60;p&#62;You might not be able to afford an &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/latest-news/fashion-news/jane-birkin-hermes-would-the-birkin-lose-its-name-116173.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Herm&#232;s Birkin&#60;/a&#62;, but it looks like you can now very well sink your teeth into a Birkin cake.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Introducing Kuala Lumpur-born cake artist,&#160;Liew Man Kwan. The mother-of-four, who is the creative mind and cake whiz behind Malaysian-based cake store PassioNate Cakes, has carved a niche for herself in design bespoke 3D sculpted cakes. The newest addition to her portfolio? An intricately detailed Herm&#232;s Himalaya 25 Birkin.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;To say that Liew is a cake artist extraordinaire is an understatement; her designs are architecturally impressive, consisting of multi-tiered cake creations with intricate details that include dragons, exquisite 3D flower details, and more. The Birkin cake is no exception; a close look will have you realise that everything, from its&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/fashion/serial-shopper/go-vegan-10-eco-friendly-alternatives-leather-accessories-104345.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; crocodile skin&#60;/a&#62; to the signature Birkin padlock, is realistically replicated.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-318168&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; itemprop=&#34;thumbnailUrl&#34; class=&#34;alignnone size-medium wp-image-318168 img-responsive &#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/06/passionatecakes4-600x600.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;600&#34; height=&#34;600&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;WANNA LEARN HOW TO BAKE YOUR OWN BIRKIN?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Why a Birkin, you might ask? The inspiration behind the cake isn&#039;t so clear, though considering how the bag has been making political headlines as of late in Malaysia, it&#039;s safe to say we can draw to a conclusion ourselves.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you want to learn the tricks of the trade and create your very own impressive designer cake, here&#039;s good news. Liew will be conducting classes on how to recreate this particular Himalaya 25 Birkin in Singapore, Malaysia and Bali from July to August, so be sure to sign up for them.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In the meantime, be our guest in feasting your eyes in her drool-worthy cake creations in the gallery above.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;For more information on the&#160;Herm&#232;s Himalaya 25 Birkin and her cake workshops, visit her website.&#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: PassionNate Cakes (Facebook)&#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;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wedding-special/wedding-planning/10-wedding-desserts-253776.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;Frost &#38;amp; Flourish: This KL-based cake designer creates drool-worthy works of art&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-cake-shops-kuala-lumpur-206198.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Glorious Dessert: 10 Best cake shops in Kuala Lumpur&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/savoury-meets-sweet-best-savoury-desserts-singapore-thatll-drooling-304006.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Sweet Meets Savoury: Best savoury desserts in SG worth going on a &#8216;cheat day&#8217; for&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/food-hk/dishing-out-hk/fb-news-hk/you-might-not-be-able-to-afford-an-hermes-birkin-but-you-can-eat-a-birkin-cake-332566.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/food-hk/dishing-out-hk/fb-news-hk/you-might-not-be-able-to-afford-an-hermes-birkin-but-you-can-eat-a-birkin-cake-332566.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

More often than not, these restaurants have established relationships with the farms itself, and purchase the quality and fresh produce from them.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The festival, which is organised by Suntec itself, hopes to bridge the gap between food producers and consumers through a fresh and fun way.&#160;Sustainable dining and farm-to-table concepts might seem like a niche idea here, so if you&#039;re passionate about honest ingredient sourcing and sustainable farming initiatives, SPROUT is no doubt the festival to be.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;For more information on SPROUT and a complete list of the festival&#039;s exhibitors, visit their &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.visitsprout.sg/?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;website.&#160;&#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: SPROUT&#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;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/raw-sg-267179.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;5 Raw food restaurants in Singapore you have to check out&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/art-deco-sg-262140.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;10 Art deco-themed restaurants and bars in Singapore to fall in love with&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/on-my-plate/healthy-eating/healthy-food-deliveries-singapore-279802.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Nutritious Eats: The best healthy food deliveries in Singapore&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/food-hk/dishing-out-hk/fb-news-hk/what-to-expect-from-sprouts-singapores-largest-farm-to-table-festival-332657.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/food-hk/dishing-out-hk/fb-news-hk/what-to-expect-from-sprouts-singapores-largest-farm-to-table-festival-332657.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
