Orchard Road Food: Chimi's Somerset Tacos & Margaritas

Image
Taco ’Bout a Good Time: Margaritas at Chimi’s Somerset Some Orchard Road meals call for white tablecloths. Others call for tacos, margaritas and absolutely no intention of being sensible. Chimi’s Somerset firmly belongs in category two. Located at 313 Orchard Road, #01-25B, 313@Somerset, Singapore 238895 , Chimi’s sits along the mall’s outdoor Discovery Walk, just steps from Somerset MRT. According to the official Chimi’s website , this is the sister brand of Chimichanga and serves what it calls SG-Mex — Mexican-inspired food tweaked towards the Singaporean palate. And clearly, Singapore is enjoying the interpretation. Current Google business data puts Chimi’s Somerset at approximately 4.7/5 from nearly 1,500 reviews , making it one of the more strongly rated casual Somerset Restaurants around the area. Basically, tacos have entered the Orchard chat. 🌮 Start With the Tacos. Obviously. Tacos, guac and fully loaded nachos - the kind of colourful spread that makes sharing at...

Orchard Road Restaurants: Tonkatsu Ma Maison Review

Image
Crunch Time: Golden Tonkatsu at Mandarin Gallery There are days when salad sounds sensible. And then there are days when what you actually need is a thick piece of pork wrapped in golden panko, fried until crisp and served beside a mountain of shredded cabbage. Those are Tonkatsu by Ma Maison days . Tonkatsu by Ma Maison @ Mandarin Gallery sits at 333A Orchard Road, #02-35/36, Mandarin Gallery, Singapore 238897 , right in the heart of the Orchard shopping stretch. The restaurant specialises in Japanese tonkatsu and currently carries an impressive 4.4/5 Google rating from more than 900 reviews .
