Dempsey is arguably one of our top destinations when it comes to some late night bites and drinks. Well, if you ever decide to hang out here any time of the week, why don’t you visit the latest addition to the restaurant and bar scene — Tigerlily?Located where Dempsey Brasserie used to be, the Asian tapas bar promises you a relaxing and enjoyable experience within its unique and cosy interior.

As soon as you step inside this place, you will immediately be mesmerised with its unique décor. Hanging from the ceiling are 88 birdcage lights which remind you of HK director Wang Kai Wai’s movies (that is, if you're familiar with his works). These lights give a warm yellow glow to the bar and accentuate the oriental furnishings of this tapas bar.

At Tigerlily, you can drink and be merry with the wide range of alcoholic beverages on its menu. Beer drinkers can cheers to draught beers such as Heineken or Guinness. There are also Asian bottled beers available which include Chang, Huda, Asahi, or Tsingtao. As for the food, they have quite a number of choices which are inspired from Asian cuisine.

There’s no need to fly all the way to Paris for some amazing macarons – you can visit Ladurée at Takashimaya Shopping Centre for the store’s famed dainty delicacies and much more!Even before the official opening this morning at 10am, loyal fans of the French patisserie were already hanging around and eyeing the rows and rows of brightly-coloured macarons. In Takashimaya you’ll find not one outlet but two – with the more prominent, open-concept one situated on the first floor, right by Chanel, and the boutique store on the second floor.

Macarons here are priced at $3.80 per piece and you can either box it or bag it, depending on how many pieces you’re buying (for those wondering, a box of eight macarons is $30.40).

The macaron flavours are pretty much the same as those found in its flagship store on Champs-Élysées in Paris. Don’t expect anything specially created for local taste buds (not right now at least). We loved the ever-popular Salted Caramel, as well as the classic Vanilla. A couple of macarons you might wanna grab fast are Marie Antoinette and Chocolate Yuzu as these are seasonal flavours.

As a one of the gazillion eateries located in Clarke Quay, Octapas has gained quite a number of loyal fans due to its authentic tapas offerings as well as a whole lot of choices with its alcoholic beverages.

Now, there are more things to look forward to when you visit this restaurant. First up is the look and feel. To give the feeling that you’re dining in Spain, the whole place is modelled after a traditional tapas place. The interior is dimly lit by shades of bold yellow and red, and the décor somehow reminds you of grandma’s house with those brick walls, wooden tables and chairs, and old photographs surrounding the place. There’s also an al fresco area if you prefer to enjoy your food while admiring the scenic view of the Singapore River and the rest of Clarke Quay.As for the food, there’s more to just tapas especially now that it has come up with the Bay of Biscay menu. A collaboration with Consultant Chef Javier Lecumberri (who hails from San Sebastian, Spain), his contributions feature rustic Basque creations which you can now have a taste of right here in Singapore!
