The Crispy Chicken Sandwich goes full Asian with Korean BBQ sauce, lime, and cilantro. But please, share these with someone else. Once I get past the novelty, the shakes - strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and even peanut butter - are actually quite tasty. There’s a fruity pebble-covered Bam Bam Shake ($20) that looks like breakfast - if your idea of breakfast included whipped cream, taffy, and strawberry pop tarts, that is. The Cotton Candy ($22) has a bright pink lollipop sticking out of it, while the Sweet n Salty ($20) is covered in M&M’s. From left, the Cookie Shake, Cotton Candy, and Sweet N’ Salty. They are bizarre things, and look like a kid was given free reign at the dessert counter for five minutes. Normally, I’d be the first to order a pint or two, if not for the desire to try out the restaurant’s acclaimed CrazyShakes - the name is trademarked, so it has be good, right? And so against the advice of my bulging waistline, a round of giant milkshakes soon came to our table. Notable brews on tap include the Brooklyn Lager, Sweetwater Hop Hash Session IPA, and local brews such as the Singapore Blonde Ale by Archipelago Brewery - all at $16. It’s decked out in decor that harkens back to 80s hip-hop and pop with music to match, while a series of boards display the some 20 craft beers. Headed by Michelin-starred Joe Isidori, who was once President Trump’s chef at the Trump International Hotel, this 140-seater at Marina Bay Sands is quite the stunner. With elements of plywood and heavy metal for edgy vibes, the seating at Black Tap extends into the mall atrium under a freestanding pavilion. The latest to come onboard hails all the way from New York, and it’s Black Tap, the burger joint that seems to have all the right recipes for success. How lucky are we to be the first pick when restaurants decide to expand overseas? From South Beach‘s Vatos Urban Tacos to Guenpin Fugu at Tanjong Pagar, it seems like everyone wants a piece of the lucrative pie that is Singapore’s foodie culture.
