I happened to be looking for a nice place to celebrate a B’Day dinner with a good friend, and so happened chanced upon this restaurant in the IS Magazine.

Global Kitchen has an open concept, such that there isn’t a door. Hence literally you could just sit there for as long as you want or when the lights go off – which we were told about 12.30am

The ambiance was good. We were there on a Friday night, and there wasn’t many people. Well maybe we got in late, but nevertheless the place gave a very relaxing feel. There were rounded table with sofa seats, each having its own “personal space” which I thought was quite nice. There wasn’t any music playing within the restaurant, but because of the open concept,we could listen to the live band that was performing at the ground floor, even though we were on the 3rd story.

I’m always a big fan of Great World City. Its never too crowded, and there’s everything I need for chilling, from Pubs to Coffee joints, Cinema to Video Arcades. All under one roof.

If you’ve been there, I’m sure you would have noticed an open concept restaurant on the 2nd level. Its quite “al fresco” like, such that there’s no roof on top and its out in the open. Well that’s how Al Dente Trattoria caught my attention since day one.

Basically, Al Dente serves authentic Italian food (not very, but pretty decent). Their specialty includes the usual Pastas, Pizzas, and Italian desserts like Gelato, and Tiramisu. They have outlets around the island as well, at the Esplanade, Holland Village and Boat Quay. Continue reading
