Spring, the season when flowers bloom and nature reawakens, brings ingredients to their natural peak. Many are also believed to help cleanse the body and aid digestion — something we’re all probably in need of in the wake of the (over)indulgence from the Hari Raya and Easter festivities — to reset and refresh!

So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to refresh your palate, this is it. 🌸 Here are our top picks.

🔘 Fat Cow
From now until 20 June, Fat Cow showcases some of Japan’s finest produce through its Spring Shiki Omakase from $88++. This multi-course experience is designed to celebrate seasonality through washoku traditions. For instance, their soup appetiser showcases the in-season negi or Japanese spring onions; they infuse a mild gentle sweetness to balance its umami depth.

🔘 FLNT, 1-Atico
The only Nikkei-focused restaurant in town, FLNT, spotlights Sakura (Cherry Blossom) for spring! The 5-Course Dinner Set (from $148++ per person), available until 30 April 2026, weaves the ephemeral bloom into the menu in unexpected ways such as pickling the leaves and flowers to offer a lightly floral, gently acidic contrast that cuts through rich, protein-forward flavours.

🔘 Loca Niru
For the first time since its opening, Loca Niru renews its menu. This refresh is also a showcase of seasonality: the 8-Course Spring Menu ($298++ per person) features exceptional spring produce from Japan such as Japanese Pen Shell brightened with white strawberry vinegar and cherry blossom trout with lacto-fermented kumquat. Spring’s freshness is thoroughly reflected through these clean, refined flavours.

🔘 Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro
Available now until 31 May, Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro presents an 8-Course Chef’s Table Experience ($288++ per person) showcasing spring through ingredient-driven compositions. Highlights include Japanese spring asparagus with fermented beancurd sauce and sakura salt, alongside an A5 Wagyu beef spring roll wrapped with bamboo shoots, Comté cheese, and a crisp deep-fried finish for a rich, savoury bite.

On the very first “Ask Bing!” column of 2026, we put her on the spot and make her unpack what PR really is (and what it isn’t!).

From brand building and “the gray line”, to how the evolving media landscape has changed who the “right people” are, Bing gives a sharp and concise outline of PR then and now. She also shares why timing, hosting, and digestible FAQs can make all the difference when shaping a brand story.

Curious about the misconceptions she hears most often – and when it’s actually the best time to start PR?

As the year draws to a close, some of our favourite chefs have a little message for you 🎄✨

If Christmas came with a movie marathon, what would be top of your list? 🎄🍿

Our chef friends share their must-watch Christmas movies — the ones that make the season feel complete.

What would you tell your 2025 self — and what would you whisper to your 2026 self?

This year, instead of rushing into resolutions, the GastroSense team pressed pause and looked back. From new homes and first “real” jobs, to half-marathons, early-career confusion and big leaps of faith, everyone had to answer two seemingly simple questions:

🔘 What advice would you give your 2025 self?
🔘 What quick note would you write to your future 2026 self?

The answers are funny, honest, and sometimes a little raw — touching on slowing down, speaking up more, and remembering that adulting is less about having it all figured out and more about just… keeping on.

If you’re in a reflective mood as the year wraps up, come read what the team had to say — you might find a line that feels a little bit like your own.

When there’s a food question swirling in your head — like “I forgot to get something for my friend’s potluck party happening tonight!” — you ask Bing!

Her favourite potluck party option is the DIY popiah set from Kway Guan Huat Joochiat Poh Piah (most people probably know this shop more casually as “the Joo Chiat Poh Piah shop, loh”). As Bing puts it, “The DIY popiah sets from Kway Guan Huat may not have bamboo shoots, but they do have the most aromatic jicama shreds and super crispy fried garnishes. When we order these DIY sets for family dinners and parties, we like to prepare extra ingredients on our own so that we can create a truly customised roll.”

Pro-tip: order their crunchy kueh pie tee shells to make it a 2-in-1 party potluck set!

In the full story, Bing shares more about Popiah and Kway Guan Huat’s set — link in bio.
