Remember the Mac & Cheese burger we uncovered in our very first Food Scoops article? Well, we still don’t have that but if you’re looking to try the equally novel Ramen burger, drop by The U Factory at Gillman Barracks – a temporal experimental platform curated by local indie magazine Underscore that carries a number pop up stores in a creative space including a couple of food joints of course. Sip on a cuppa from Maison Ikkoku, savour delicious vegan treats from The Bakers League or look out for a cow-printed van selling Ramen burgers, brought to you by none other than the popular food truck, The Travelling C.O.W. If you can’t get enough of ramen and the idea of innovation, keep your eyes peeled for a laksa ramen bar named Rakusabā where the local dish gets served Tsukemen-style. 2. Ice cream in the city. Raffles City.

FUN FACT: Did you know that Smoothie King was the one who coined the word, smoothie? 4. Molecular Gastronomy by Chef Tim Ross-Watson For one night only, Clubvivre x The Lumenere Group will give foodies a chance to redefine their dining experience by offering them a night of frozen sophistication within a sub-zero atmosphere. To give that realistic feeling of dining in another part of the world, the room will be filled with ice as well as colourful lights to imitate Norway’s famous northern lights. Celebrity Chef Tim Ross-Watson will also be there to offer a bold culinary experiment. Expect science to explode at the tip of your tongue with his gourmet physics on a platter and tantalising chemistry on your palate. All these are complemented by the Croizet Cognac Vintages, an exceptional grade of brandy appreciated by the likes of Napoleon and Winston Churchill.
