The Escape Plan with Shan and Cheryl
Weekdays 4pm to 8pm
“Lovingly made by Chef Valentino’s mother, Mama’s Chicken ($48, serves two) is not on the menu, but you can order it in advance as it takes several hours to prepare. A whole spring chicken wrapped in pancetta and slow-cooked with olives, potatoes and Italian herbs for three hours. A must-try if you are looking for authentic Italian comfort food. Magnificent.”
Ristorante Da Valentino

"I've experienced a wedding day and the birth of two sons and still, eating this dessert - milk cake, passion fruit sorbet and toasted almonds ($14) - was the best day of my life."
Bochinche

Shaun Tupaz
ONE FM's #1 Breakfast Show

"If you're looking for something affordable and tasty, Collin's is the place to go. They put a lot of effort into their presentation and quality. This Mushroom & Onion Sadia Chicken Chop served with Truffle Mushroom Soup ($10.90) is so good, you can almost eat it every day."
Collin's Grille Bento
203, Toa Payoh North, #01-1097
Desiree Lai

"Their US Angus rib-eye steak ($12/100g) is a must-try. It's cut into cubes and served on a wooden board with potato wedges and caramelised onions. To make it even more unique, it also comes with a plate of fragrant beef fried rice that's cooked in beef fat. Worth the extra calories."
New Ubin Seafood
Block 27, Sin Ming Road, Sin Ming Industrial Estate, Sector A #01-174
Glenn Ong
ONE FM's #1 Breakfast Show
Weekdays 6am to 10am
"I had the Seafood Combo Bag that had Sri Lankan crabs, prawns, clams, potatoes, corn and sausages ($88). With everything spread out on the table, it got deliciously messy, but I've never enjoyed seafood as much as I did."
Dancing Crab
181, Orchard Road, Orchard Central #07-14/15
Andre Hoeden
ONE FM's #1 Breakfast Show
Weekdays 6am to 10am
"I had the most 'lemak' risotto! It was the charred house-poached octopus with squid ink risotto and salted egg sauce ($34). The serving portion was only enough for a four-year-old girl, but I guess they have to live up to their name. Food's good and that's all that matters."
Morsels
35, Mayo Street
Melody Chen
9-5 No Repeat Workday
Weekdays 1pm to 4pm
"I've always loved their szechuan spice and I'm so glad they've opened a stall near my home. Choose your own ingredients and they will whip them up with their special Mala sauce. This plate ($10) is good to share with a friend. Just make sure you drink lots of water afterwards."
