New bites and sips in Singapore to check out in November 2025

1. Shake Shack — Nae:um collaboration

Proving itself to be more than just your everyday American fast-food chain, Shake Shack has teamed up with Michelin-starred restaurant Nae:um and its chef-owner Louis Han to launch an elevated line of offerings with Korean influences. (Chef Louis has also recently relaunched a refreshed Nae:um with a new menu, too, if you missed it.)

This limited-time Shake Shack and Nae:um collaboration sees two new burger flavours, a side, and a shake added to the mix. There’s the Pyo:go galbi Shack (mushroom and beef burger S$14.20), a juicy beef burger with a smoky-sweet galbi sauce, as well as the Saeng:chae gochujang chicken (radish salad-chicken burger, S$12.40). 

Top it off with the vibrant salsa Jang:ajji fries (S$9.80), with a soy-pickle salsa, and the tropical makgeolli shake (S$10.20), which comprises pineapple, lime juice, and vanilla custard. If you’ve not dined at the Michelin-stared-restaurant before, here’s your chance to have something from Nae:um sans the heavy price tag. 

Here’s our unfiltered take on the Shake Shack and Nae:um collaboration.

2. McDonald’s Singapore’s Thai-inspired menu

If you prefer Thai flavours, you’re in luck as McDonald’s Singapore has dropped an all-new tom yum burger (from S$8.95), with a new tom yum mayo sauce, to boot!

To make it an even more Thai-rrific experience, round it up with the new fish nuggets (from S$8.70 as part of an Extra Value Meal) and the Thai milk tea frappe (from S$5.90).

These items are available for a limited time only, after breakfast hours, and are while stocks last, so grab ‘em while they’re still around!

3. Sushi Tei — Mofusand collaboration

The Starbucks x Mofusand collection in August had everyone up in arms thanks to the irresistibly cute merchandise. If you missed getting your hands on them, here’s your chance with Sushi Tei’s latest collaboration, which sees its outlets getting decked out in Mofusand decor, new limited-time dishes served with Mofusand emblems, and of course, exclusive merch up for grabs.  

The dishes are relatively run-of-the-mill, but the merch — which includes a Mofusand keychain, and various Mofusand pouches with eco-foldable bags — are not only too cute for words, but some are also sushi-themed. 

Can anyone say “kawaii”? Or should we say “oiishi”?

4. Ki-sho’s new seasonal menu

Japanese restaurant Ki-Sho is dishing up not just a new chef at the helm — decorated native Japanese chef Taro Takayama — but a new seasonal menu, too, at its heritage black-and-white bungalow along Scotts Road.

Chef Takayama, of restaurant Takayama fame, serves kappo-style omakase made with the freshest ingredients, many of which hail from his home region of Kansai.

Prices start from S$160 for a six-course lunch, which is quite a steal given the quality of the ingredients and the level of showmanship. (Kappo fare has a stronger focus on chef-diner interaction.)

Here’s what we thought of chef Takayama’s latest menu at Ki-Sho. 

5. Open Farm Community’s weekday brunch menu

Ever thought of taking time off work one day, and engaging in a leisurely weekday brunch? You’ll want to head to Open Farm Community, a well-loved garden-to-table restaurant at Dempsey, for its new weekday brunch menu.

Enjoy signature items such as the sweet-savoury buttermilk pancake (S$22), which comes with banana brulee, barbecued banana ice cream, and soya sauce meringue, or the hearty shakshuka (S$26), a brunch classic with sous vide eggs in a spiced tomato sauce with herb feta and sourdough.

Find out which other brunch items we adored at Open Farm Community.

7. Warehouse Lobby Bar

Located right at The Warehouse Hotel’s lobby, as its name suggests, the Warehouse Lobby Bar is a casual, vibey space that’s equal parts modern and storied, given its location in a building that’s been around since 1895. 

While the hotel has since been restored and reopened in January 2017, its bar has been relatively low-key until late last year, when a new bar team — led by Joseph Haywood, a Sago House alumnus — revived the space and its drinks menu, transforming it into more than just a transactional lobby area. 

In its latest cocktail menu, the bar spotlights eight decades between the hotel’s beginning (1890s) till now. Each decade comes with a classic cocktail, and a signature, reimagined with local flavours. 

Our favourites include the Reverse Trade (S$24), a take on the classic martini, with Chiu Long gin and shaoxing wine twist, the 36 Oaths (S$26), a mezcal riff on the Rusty Nail whisky cocktail, made with a housemade amaro, and the Pink Pepper Club (S$28), a lighter espresso martini, with a delicious coconut foam and whiffs of black garlic and pink peppercorn. 

Each cocktail’s booziness level is marked by a “酒” character, with the lightest (one 酒) being the Tongkang Drift (S$24), a breezy take on the Singapore Sling, and the booziest being the 36 Oaths (5 酒s). Some non-alcoholic versions are also available at S$18, so there’s something for every drinker, regardless of what decade or drink you’re feeling. 

8. One-Ninety Bar — “Polaroids of Singapore” cocktail menu

One of the newest cocktails menus on the list is One-Ninety Bar’s, which launched just under a month ago, with head bartender Sophia Kang at the helm. Named “Polaroids of Singapore Volume 1”, the Four Seasons bar offers a storied, boozed-up lens of the various ethnic groups in Singapore. Each ethnic group gets its own section that includes four drinks imbued with elements of the respective groups (and yes, there’s an “Others” section, too).

Take for example, the Chinese part has a drink named Bei Shi (S$25), a bold whisky cocktail with Kyoho grape and mandarin liqueurs, orange bitters, raspberry, and whey. The drink has nods to Chinese culture, sure, but what dazzles is its intricate menu illustrations, drawn by Terrence Huang, a multidisciplinary artist who is also with the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore team. 

In that same vein, the Echoes of Batik (S$25) — from the Malay section of the menu — is also a visual delight. The gin sour, which comes with hints of osmanthus and plum bitters, is adorned with a vibrant batik design on the top. My first brush with it was actually on the bar’s socials, and I’m sure it’ll make a great drink to add to your feed, too.

We also loved the refreshing Serai fizz (S$25), tinged with lemongrass and lychee, and the Bandung drink-inspired Night Flower (S$25), made with rum. There’s also mint liqueur and Fernet Branca in there, adding a touch of brightness to the otherwise sometimes-cloying creamy rose drink.

9. Las Palmas — “Cocktail Volume 2.0” menu

Singapore has its fair share of rooftop bars, but poolside bar Las Palmas situated at Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena is a touch different, with its sunny Californian-inspired vibes, and its location slightly outside of the city centre. 

If you haven’t visited yet, its newest cocktail menu instalment, simply titled “Las Palmas Cocktail Volume 2.0”, should be reason enough. Keeping to its Palm Springs-theme, this second iteration delves further into elements such as art, culture, and film, with head bartender Ron Aransay interpreting classics through the lens of the city in the 1960s.

Some tipples we particularly enjoyed include the Tokyo Cowboy (S$21), a refreshing citrusy gin-shochu cocktail, decked out in Hiroshi Nagai’s city-pop art-style, with the rice paper print on the drink differing depending on when you order it — sunrise or sunset. 

There’s also the Bamba Paloma (S$23), a take on the classic Paloma, using mezcal fat-washed with olive oil, grapefruit, and rockmelon — the perfect smoky, yet light combination perfect for a breezy evening by the pool. 

We’re already thinking of our next visit back to this idyllic spot, which doesn’t seem quite like Singapore, too — maybe on a weekday afternoon off work?
