Intimate, unpretentious and absolutely delicious, it's not difficult to see why this teeny tiny restaurant is so popular. After much cajoling (well, frankly, begging) of Tracy (who takes care of the front of house while husband Oscar cooks out the back) we finally managed to find four spare chairs at the last minute. This personal favourite of mine constantly disproves the commonly held assumption that good food in Singapore must be expensive. Homely yet creative concoctions such as the staple Tau Kwa Tower mean you can comfortably dine on three courses for under $35, with wine on top. And the secret to getting a booking? There isn't one. Oscar and Tracy tell me it's advisable to be flexible with your dates (Friday and Saturday nights are obviously the most popular), ask to be put on the waiting list (which often opens up) and pray for some good luck. My advice: book first, arrange your life later. It will always be worthwhile.
