FOR YOUR NATIONAL DAY CRAVE-ING
Singapore celebrates its 52nd birthday this month and what better way to
revel in the festivities than with a mouth-watering rendition of a local
favourite? CRAVE Nasi Lemak & Teh Tarik has launched a limited-time
specially curated menu in celebration of Singapore’s National Day
featuring a modern twist on the classic nasi lemak. CRAVE’s Nasi Lemak
Satay Chicken is served with tender chicken thigh instead of small chunks
of skewered meat, and comes succulently marinated in a variety of spices.
Drizzled over the top is a sweet and zesty satay sauce that is exploding
with flavour. Enjoy the satay chicken with CRAVE’s signature fragrant
coconut basmati rice and sweet sambal chilli. New to the menu is also the
refreshing Iced Calamansi that will cleanse palates after the indulgent
satay chicken. The special menu is available till 31 August.

Ah Mah Homemade Cake:
The Healthy Choice!
Fans of the light and fluffy Castella cake can now
enjoy freshly made ones at Vivo City. Ah Mah
Homemade Cake recently opened their second
outlet here, with the first one at Bukit Panjang.
Made just with eggs, milk and quality flour without
any preservatives, these cakes are a delicious yet
healthy choice for dessert. Inspired by the Castella
cakes that originated from Tamsui, Taiwan, Chef Jim
of Ah Mah Homemade Cake has adapted the
original recipe and given it a local twist. Currently,
two flavours are available, original and cheese, but
be sure to check back for special and local flavours
coming your way soon!

NEWBY IN THE CITY
Newby Teas, an award-winning luxury tea brand from

offerings: Earl Green and Highland Green. Newby Teas
currently stands as the most awarded tea company in
the world, with every sip from each one of their
eclectic range being a class apart. The tremendous
attention to detail given to both the manufacturing

apart, along with the affordability of its premium
products. Currently, the teas can be bought only via
the Newby Teas’ e-boutique, and the new collection on
sale comes garbed in attractive packaging inspired by a
vintage craftsmanship theme.
