Disclaimer: I was only intrigued by Yum Sing!, a trendy local food gastrobar that recently opened up at Blk B of Clarke Quay because I read it was by the Putien founder. It's quite risky, opening a restaurant in the sort of midst of a pandemic, especially in the suppressed Clarke Quay area due to the 10.30pm drinking curfew and social distancing in place. But they were confident enough to stake their bets on it, so I thought I'll give it a try with a couple of ex-colleagues on a Friday evening. The best part about Yum Sing! is the ambiance and decor, hands down. I'll get to the food in a bit. But for now, enjoy the interior pics in all their glory. They no doubt spent a lot on the renovations to capture the "New World" parks of the 80s feel.
Ok we were stuffed by the time we got to the desserts with our cocktails and the various erm, 'tapas' style dishes. The service was pretty good though with the servers being quick to get to us. Food also didn't take too long. So I guess this place has its pros and cons. The cons is the food could feel out of place considering the ambiance and location, and portions/pricing could be improved, but the ambiance, service and theme of the place does work well in creating a fun dining atmosphere. I wouldn't rush to go back, but this might be a good place for gathering next time when drinking is allowed past 10.30pm.

So it was only when I was googling Moonbow the restaurant at Dempsey did I realise that the name is used to refer to a rare rainbow that appears at night. Pretty AND cool! This new restaurant popped up in 2021 like a wild pokemon as well, situated right next to Blu Kouzina which I blogged about recently. I had made a reservation here for my birthday dinner with my bestie after hearing some buzz about it from fellow foodies. TL:DR, nice but too pricey. Read on for what.
That concluded our meal at Moonbow! I have to say, I am super ambivalent about the place due to the pricing versus what we managed to taste and its quality. I know times are not super good, but restaurants should also think about how to keep people coming back. With this kinda pricing, I won't really go back, but if I have to recommend something, it will be the short ribs and scallop orzo!
