stories.grain.com.sg — They say food tastes better when you eat out. Here at Grain, we say it tastes better delivered. Forget about the usual complaints - soggy, dry, overcooked, and uninspired. We've made it our mission to turn the narrative around by designing the most tantalising, flavour-packed meals for delivery, so that they arrive at your door just as perfectly as they left our kitchens.

Time Out — We sit down with the owner of this cosy Vietnamese joint for a quick interview and sample her best-selling dishes.

Time Out — Vietnamese coffee is having its moment right now in the States, with Vietnamese cafés and roasteries popping up all over the coast. It was also one of Vietnam's largest export destinations for coffee beans in 2018. The trend hasn't yet cottoned on in Singapore, but there's no doubt it'll get its due, which owner and founder of La Saigon, Ly Bui, is confident about.

Time Out — Yes, we agree, supermarkets are convenient, what with their long operating hours, pre-packaged produce and jets of air-conditioning that provide a respite from the island's unrelenting heat. But there are just things about a wet market that cannot be replaced. First off, you can buy exact quantities of what you need, so there's less wastage overall. Then, there's the personalised service from butchers and fishmongers, who will mince the meat or fillet the fish according to your needs. Most importantly, the quality and prices at a wet market are unbeatable. So put on those non-slip shoes, grab a market trolley and brave a trip down to one of these wet markets this weekend.

Time Out — Pancakes have always been a breakfast staple, but let's face it - it's too delicious to only have it in the mornings. Ever since Singaporeans caught wind of how strikingly 'grammable pancakes can be, renditions have been popping up in restaurants and cafés everywhere.

Time Out — These public playgrounds provide endless hours of fun and exercise. From splash buckets and natural streams to giant rope courses and eight-metre-tall climbing towers, the tykes will be occupied for an entire afternoon. Some of these play areas even encourage the adults to join in, so you can unleash your inner kid and feel like you're seven all over again.

SALT Magazine Asia — 2018 is just round the corner, and like you, we can't believe it either. Where did the time go? Regardless of how 2017 has treated you, it's time to turn the page to a new chapter. Forget the good, the bad and the ugly. Instead, look forward to a New Year’s Eve night of booze-soaked merry-making, rollickin’ good fun, and fireworks – definitely the fireworks, especially since there’ll be a minute-long dazzling shower of light every hour from 8.05PM at the Marina Bay and Civic District area.

SALT Magazine Asia — The Star Wars hype is real, very real. Ever since Walt Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, the film franchise has experienced a rise in interest from new generations and a renaissance amongst generations past.

SALT Magazine Asia — Millennial Pink has been on-trend for several seasons now, and it doesn't seem to be dying out any time soon. Some say it started in 2014 when Wes Anderson decided The Grand Budapest Hotel should be awash in said colour. Others say it started when Pantone picked it as their 'colour of the year' in 2016.

SALT Magazine Asia — Ah, Croatia. It's a land full of history - from Renaissance architecture to medieval hill towns, cascading waterfalls to primordial forests, it's the undisputed jewel in the crown of the Adriatic coast. While the idyllic, sweeping views of Croatia have made it famous, however, their produce is equally buzz-worthy.
