Burger & Lobster is the newest dining destination for a casual drink along with some simple hearty meals. With two outlets springing into Jewel Changi Airport and Raffles Hotel Singapore, the brand has become a fan favourite among locals and tourists alike. Originating from London, the restaurant can also be found in Kuwait, Dubai, Malaysia and Thailand.
As the name aptly suggests, the restaurant is known for its many lobster delights and prides itself for serving the authentic flavour of the wild-caught crustacean. The superb hospitality is paired with an old-school style concept, with neon signage, brown leather swivel bar stools and an English-style bar. The restaurant also has tanks that include the live lobsters, another element of transparency between the brand and its diners.
When it comes to the cuisine, the restaurant showcases many variations of the humble yet refined lobster – with their signature lobster roll, lobster röstiand even local interpretation: the lobster laksa. The Jewel Changi Airport also introduces the sambal lobster, to commemorate the Singaporean culture with a familiar flavour. Each dish presents the simple and natural flavour of the lobster, and diners will be delighted by the freshness of the seafood. If one is not feeling for lobster, there is also the Mayfair burger which is also a favourite of many diners all over the world. The restaurant also offers a combo set: diners have the choice between the Mayfair burger or lobster roll with a whole lobster, fries, a house salad and two mocktails – perfect for pairs or small groups to share.

Scrambling After Eggs
Eggs are a huge part of our lives, and a large part of our lives with regards to cooking. At the same time, we tend to forget the importance of them, so ubiquitous in our lives that they then get ignored. We ask dessert creators, and chocolatiers to examine their relationship with eggs, and what would happen if eggs should, god forbid, fall out of our lives.

A Portrait Of The Chef As A Young Woman
To get a sense of Chef Aeron Choo’s work ethic as well as personality, we first have to tell the story of meeting her for the first time in her restaurant, Kappou Japanese Sushi Tapas Bar at Fortune Center. She’s working with her kitchen team, scrutinising the ingredients she has prepared, making sure that the slices of tuna she has made is up to scratch, prepping and discarding elements that she is dissatisfied with that don’t work with the dishes. Then, she pulls out a 1.7kg spiny lobster, fresh from the tank, and very much alive. When the lobster is clearly flailing from being yanked out of the tank it had been swimming in, she takes time to stroke, pet the lobster and whisper sweet nothings to calm the creature down.
