Bacatà
Colombian cuisine, hearty and rich in rice, tubers and assorted legumes, hasn’t yet had its moment in the culinary spotlight, but thanks to Fernando Arévalo, it is given recognition at Bacatà. The Bogotá-born chef-owner who pulled the curtains on Preludio, a conceptual restaurant atop Frasers Tower, now builds great meals around his Latin heritage in the same space. While we selfishly wish for a strictly traditional take on the cuisine, he does what an ambitious chef does best, reimagining long-established dishes for the modern palate, and for both sharing and tasting menus. Highlights include the Arepa con Cerdo, where you’d find the Colombian staple (grilled corn cake) paired with tender slices of pork shoulder glazed with pork jus and sherry vinegar; and the popular arroz caldoso (a soupier paella) that’s given the upgrade with the Pescado y Arroz con Coco, where grilled sea bass is served with arborio rice cooked with coconut, kombu and vinegar.

Fico
East Coast Park was lacking a good restaurant for many years, until Fico showed up. The space, run by ex-Braci chef Mirko Febbrile, is the place to go to if you’re craving for exceptionally good pasta, focaccina and of course, dessert. Be warned that it’s going to be hard to grab a seat at the best of times, but trust us when we say it’s worth the wait. Ask to sit al fresco at a corner table (you won’t like the acoustics indoors) and start your night with the Tropea Onions focaccina, Charred Red Peppers and Tomino Cheese. Throw in a Freshly Baked Bread Basket if you’d like, but be careful to not overdose on bread. Do everything in your power to save space for pasta, pasta, pasta; the Cacio e Pepe, Burnt Wheat Balanzoni and Denti Del Drago… get them all. Portions are small but they pack a punch, and before you roll out of the restaurant a happy man, do everything within your power to save room for dessert—the freshly fried Cannoli is a masterpiece we will be back for again and again.
Robb Tip: Fico is dog-friendly and has plenty of water bowls to go around.

Rosemead

Gotti
Gotti doesn’t bill itself to be the best pizzeria in Singapore—they really shouldn’t, but they do offer some of the best pizzas around. The dough sits around for three days before getting stretched and fired into favourites—Margherita, Diavola, Tartufo and Quattro Formaggi, to name a few. One can expect big, punchy flavours and a crust that’s crispy where you need it and soft when you want it; a crust that’s perfect for mopping up any leftover sauces that you may find.
Robb Tip: Pastas are great, too. Order the Arrabiata if you love spice.
