Rochester Park's newest member does Asian-European contemporary cuisine

New addition to the Singapore dining scene, Krish, will be serving up South Asia influenced European cuisine from 13 February 2010.

Dishes include a breakfast chapatti wrap, where the traditional  Indian bread is  filled with bacon, roasted potato, white cheddar, caramelised onions, eggs and pepper; a roti john sandwich with beef short rib and a spice-rubbed filet mignon with parmesan fries.

And because brunch wouldn't be brunch without something cold and alcoholic, get your lips around some of their chic cocktails, which includes Tweeks (a prosecco, strawberries and ginger blend), Red Grass (Absolut Raspberry, fresh raspberries, lemongrass and lemon juice) and Red Buffalo (Absolut Pepper vodka, wasabi and tomato juice).

For those with families, there's a kids menu and if your youngsters are under eight, they dine for free at brunch.

Caring For Cambodia needsvolunteers to transport school supplies from Singapore to Cambodia. Can you help?

Are you planning a trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia this year? Do you know someone who is?
Caring for Cambodia needs volunteers to help tansport school supplies from Singapore to Cambodia. 

The most cost-effective way for the organisation to transport donated goods from their storage facility in Singapore to the Caring for Cambodia schools in Siem reap is for travellers to carry them in their personal luggage. Even if you're not visiting one of the schools you can still help by delivering the supplies to one of the CFC hotel or school partners in Siem Reap.

Does sir like a glass or two of the finest reds? Does madam like great savings on a bottle of something bubbly?

Expat Living readers are a discerning bunch, never happier than when engaged in witty badinage around a dinner table, swilling a nervous pinot grigot around a glass of cut crystal or perhaps decanting a full-bodied claret before moving on to a cheeky camenbert and port number.

 

We all love a good wine but getting the one you want at the price you like can be tricky, so Expat Living and the lovely folk at Rubicon Wine Reserves have gotten together to give you the best savings possible on your favourite vintages.

 

This month there is a great deal on Tall Tree wines, from South Australia: a Reserve Chardonnay 2008; a delicate, mildly fruity wine with a soft, refereshing finish; and Reserve Shiraz 2009; a medium deep red that has a ripe warmth to it.

 

Until 31 March 2010, get a mixed case, $26.75 per bottle, or a single bottle for $28.89. 

 

All you have to do to take advantage of these savings is go to our Wine Club here. Happy drinking!
