CASA RESTAURANT BY REMY LEFEBVRE
Previously from Butcher’s Block at Raffles Singapore, chef Remy Lefebvre has stepped out with a new place of his own. Casa, which is Spanish for “home”, is a cosy yet elegant spot in CHIJMES where he showcases his art of cooking with wood fire and celebrates seasonal ingredients in dishes that are also influenced by his journeys around the world. To be as inclusive as possible, most of chef Remy’s food is gluten- and dairy-free. Must-try dishes include the Gambas, a smoked Mediterranean prawn dish with Japanese-influenced ingredients like yuzu and wasabi kosho, as well as the Perfect Egg, a three-minute boiled egg served with razor clams, Madagascar pepper sauce, sweet corn stew and salsa verde.
MR HOLMES BAKEHOUSE SINGAPORE
Loved for its Instagram-famous cruffins, the San Francisco-founded bakery has opened its first Southeast Asian flagship here, which is the only remaining storefront in the world following some closures due to the pandemic. Essentially a croissant shaped like a muffin, the cruffins come in flavors like Peanut Butter Milkshake and Tiramisu Cream. There are also other fresh bakes like croissants, doughnuts, danishes as well as sandwiches and salads. The bakery has collaborated with the local collectible studio, Mighty Jaxx, to introduce a new character named Monixx, who features an installation in-store and on various merchandise on sale from a vending machine.
