September 2021: New restaurants on our radar
Singapore is not considered a food heaven for nothing! From weekly bistro/restaurant/cafe/stall openings (yes, even during these times) to long queues (virtual or physical) to gain access to the plethora of food available – there's always new food to try if you know where to look.
Keep checking back for a monthly listing of Singapore's latest food offerings.
Putien CHOP CHOP
Michelin food is coming to plebeians like you and me. Enter CHOP CHOP by PUTIEN, or 筷筷, an express food service that offers some of PUTIEN’s signature items like Seafood Lor Mee and Fried Heng Hwa Bee Hoon to the university crowd at the National University of Singapore in Clementi.
These dishes are inspired by the same Kitchener Road PUTIEN kitchen that won the restaurant a Michelin star for four straight years from 2016 to 2019, with cost starting at an affordable S$6.90. It's possible to get a complete meal with drinks and starters for less than S$10, making it a yummy and affordable choice for young adults.
CHOP CHOP by PUTIEN is also available for takeaway and deliveries within the Clementi vicinity, via various applications such as Inline, Oddle, Foodpanda and GrabFood.

Proper Slice
Can't go to NYC? You can at least taste it at Proper Slice, a pizza joint from Brooklyn described as an ode to New York City’s glorious old-school neighbourhood pizzerias. The joint is dedicated to creating a “proper slice” of pizza to grab-and-go for curbside enjoyment, or have delivered right to your doorstep.
At the helm of the pizza joint is Executive Chef Ariana Flores, who also heads the kitchen at Lucali BYGB and has mastered the art of the perfect pie under the watchful eye of Mark Iacono, creator of the famed Lucali in Brooklyn and through her decade at Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza.
