Distant Delicacies

The idea of wrapping up the year with a bang is universal. A quintessential component in year-end celebrations is food, and upon closer inspection, a kaleidoscope of intriguing traditions from all corners of the globe unfolds past a guise of meagre finger foods. From East to West, take a gastronomical gander at the celebratory rites and rituals that commemorate the year’s end, then chow down in the comforts of sunny Singapore. After all, the world is indeed one’s oyster.

BURNT ENDS

For the Australians, it is the heat of a simmering barbeque that signals the cheer of end-of-year parties. After riding through the frigid winds of winter, who could blame them for turning to the warmth of the trusty barbie? Cue Burnt Ends – a modern Michelin-starred Australian restaurant that let the 17,000-degree cinders from custom made grills singe their meats to perfection. The Burnt Ends Sanger is a must-try, savoury pulled pork shoulder topped with refreshing coleslaw and chipotle aioli sandwiched between two soft brioche buns, while the Flat Iron Beef Flank with Burnt Onion sprinkled with pearls of bone marrow is a tender treat that should not be missed. Complete the meaty triumvirate with the restaurant’s succulent 75 Day Dry Aged Wagyu to satisfy the carnivore within.

Heavy Lidded

In the masculine world of grooming, the sport (or art) of decorating one's lids with darkened kohl has been practised amongst niche circles, reserved for only a few brave men willing to go - or draw - the lengths of a sharp winged liner. Given the past decade's adoration of the bare-is-best routines, the notion of lined eyes has been mostly cast away. However, as the return of the Indie Sleaze movement returns, confronting the pressing question cannot be put off any longer. Should the world be opening its eyes and waking up for the return of \"guyliner\"?
