Panamericana is a new bar-grill at the scenic Sentosa Golf Club, and is named as such because the menu draws inspiration from the diverse ranges of cultures and cuisines along the Pan-American Highway. Executive Chef Mathew Woon has developed a unique menu with farm-to-fire grilled meats, fresh seafood and street food – all of which promise a flavourful experience for your tastebuds.
The 100-seater restaurant is located on a terrace which overlooks the lush grounds of the golf course, so you can enjoy a relaxing dining experience away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Menu highlights include the Suckling Pig, Colombian Chicken and Argentinean-style Lamb.

Monnani Kwabaeggi – Korean Ugly Pretzel
Location: 16 Raffles Quay #B1-48 Hong Leong Building Singapore 048581 | Business Hours: 8:30am-6pm (Weekdays), 8:30am-2pm (Saturdays)
With Korean restaurants aplenty in Singapore, we’re no strangers to the wonders of dak-galbi or tteokbokki. The latest Korean snack to hit our shores is Monnani Kwabaeggi, which is also know as…wait for it…the Ugly Pretzel. Because Instaworthy food is so 2017, please.
Monnani’s first outlet in Singapore is located at the basement of Hong Leong Building, and the pretzels come in flavours such as yuzu, red bean, cheese, chicken sausage and original. The pretzels are made of sticky rice and seven types of grains, and each is priced between $1.40 to $1.90. If you work around the area, this will probably make for a good mid-afternoon snack.

Dirty Bread
As much as Dirty Bread may sound rather…unappetising (right?!), the curious pastry has become increasingly popular since it first came about in China early this year. Apparently bakeries in Shanghai and Beijing launched a chocolate croissant that promised “a messy eating experience”, and the concept caught on like wildfire. Of course, local bakeries like BreadTalk hopped on the bandwagon shortly after.
Boufé Boutique Café is the latest cafe to launch a series of “Dirty Bread”, which comes in flavours such as Chocolate, Salted Egg and Strawberry. At $5 apiece, these are not exactly reasonably priced (it’s just bread, after all), but…you know you want to order it for the ‘gram. Go on, we won’t judge.

Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Ice Cream
Available at leading supermarkets and on RedMart for $14.90 per pint.
Ben & Jerry’s launched their Non-Dairy line of ice cream late last year, and we’re pleased to report that it tastes as good as the real deal. While flavours are still rather limited at the moment, the ones that are available locally are not too shabby – Peanut Butter & Cookies, Caramel Almond Brittle and Coconut Seven Layer Bar. Instead of traditional ingredients like eggs and dairy, the vegan-approved ice cream is made with an almond base, which results in a similar rich flavour to conventional ice cream. At $14.90 a pint, these are not that much more expensive than the regular flavours, so give them a go if you want to try something different.

Magnum Chocolate & Hazelnut Praliné Ice Cream
Available at leading supermarkets, petrol kiosks and on RedMart for $3.90 a stick or $10.90 for a Minipack of 6.
Ahh…Magnum, you’ve done it again. Just when we think we’ve found our favourite Magnum ice cream flavour (Double Peanut Butter, of course), they go and launch another flavour that makes us think twice about playing favourites.
The new Magnum Chocolate & Hazelnut Praliné is the perfect blend of chocolate and hazelnut ice cream, dipped in Belgian milk chocolate with caramelised hazelnuts for that signature Magnum crunch. It basically tastes like Ferrero Rocher, but better (because it’s ice cream yo). The new flavour is now available islandwide at $3.90 a pop (or $10.90 for a Minipack of 6).
