OVER, the competitive eater’s first restaurant, sold out its kitchen in its opening days and reopened on 28 October. Every dish comes in three sizes, up to challenge platters.

A 400-year-old Shizuoka tea family and a Gaia Group patisserie share 15 seats at The Star Vista. Order the flight of three matchas, and go on a weekday afternoon if you want a chair.
A café devoted to yerba mate, upstairs from a yakitori bar on Bali Lane, run by a ceramicist who used to be a coffee purist. Order the gourd service and bring an afternoon.
TWG's biggest shop anywhere is airside at Terminal 3, with a museum of antique samovars and tea ice cream. You need a boarding pass to see it, so get to your next T3 flight early.
Petra opened at 40C Harding Road on 24 October 2026: wood-fired seafood, mezze and bread from its own oven in a 119-seat garden room on Dempsey Hill, with an ex-NOPI and Ottolenghi head chef consulting. Book a long lunch to share.
