One thing I learnt about dining in SG, it’s absolutely essential to make table reservations in advance. Especially if you plan to dine out on a weekend, most of the popular restaurants in SG are usually already fully booked. On a Sat night, we took a cab to this family run Italian restaurant somewhere in Bukit Timah in an attempt to get some delicious Italiana, but only to find out they require 5 weeks booking in advance.
5 WEEKS!!! That’s crazy.
We waited for 30 mins hoping someone didn’t turn up for the table, but to no avail. The was no way they could squeeze us in but the waiter was very kind and recommended us an alternative restaurant nearby, it’s a French family style Bistro along Turf Club Road called PICOTIN.
Beggars can’t be choosy but thankfully the food there was nice. Unpretentious ambience, super friendly restaurant owner Jackie who personally sat us down on a table and introduced the menu.
Starter of the day: Smoked Salmon cubes Bruchetta (price unknown)
Baked escargots au beurre d'herbes SGD15
Roasted sea bass, boulangere potatoes, smoked fish brandade SGD28
All dishes were made with fresh ingredients, I loved the seabass and smoked salmon the most. Super generous servings. Verdict: Can’t call it exquisite French but food was good.

After dinner, Claire took me to this place called San-sui Sumiyaki & Tsuki-bar for drinks.
The place has a nice scenic view by the river and overlooking Marina Bay Sand. I find their Japanese sake cocktails rather unique too. Worth a try.
