Joining the throng of hip eateries along Tras Street, May May offers modern Asian-inspired Western cuisine in a sophisticated, clean setting. The Asian influences across the menu are diverse, with the use of ingredients ranging from kaffir lime and lemongrass to masala and shiso. The well-executed fusion of flavours lead to unexpected and often delectable results. The slow-cooked squid with poached pear, ginger, pistachio and lobster rice noodles with lemongrass, kaffir lime and coconut broth is stunning, and highly recommended. You also want to check out their value-for-money lunch sets -- choose from chicken, cod or pork belly rice bowls, all of which come with assorted vegetables and half an egg!
Hot on the heels of Honey Creme comes Milkcow, the Korean organic soft serve ice cream shop that has already launched itself across Japan, Philippines and Malaysia. Setting up shop within The Cathay, Milkcow distinguishes itself from the competition by providing not just the usual honeycomb, affogato and caramel popcorn flavours that its rivals usually offer, but also intriguing flavours such as Green Light (cool mint syrup with almond flakes), Milky Peace (pistachio syrup, sunflower seeds and cashew clusters) and Samsam (red ginseng syrup with almond flakes). Milkcow promises that their desserts are healthy, 100% natural, and truly organic - that means you can pig out on the soft serve with slightly less guilt!
Sprucing up the dining scene in the Buona Vista area is Paddy Hills, a beautiful space that should be high up on your list of places to visit. The menu is diverse and refreshing, with a fusion of several cuisines. A feast for the eyes, the Berry Ricotta Hotcake ($19) is served with mascarpone, blueberry sugar and fresh berries, inspired by Melbourne's Top Paddock. A crisp exterior gives in to a fluffy interior tinged with maple syrup — a must-order dish that tastes a lot more cake-like than the usual hotcakes. The Japanese-inspired Squid Ink Tagliatalle ($23) features tobiko, ikura, mentaiko, puffed rice, and seared scallops. Also order the Cauliflower Fritters ($12) served with masala yogurt, and the Toasted Spicy Rice Cakes ($15) with gochujang mayo to snack on. Besides the usual coffee and tea, they have cocktails, ciders and wines as well.

Get the one with sliced beef x grilled chicken x foie gras!
(Their cny specials milk tea soft serves are pretty good actually!)
(I agree, this is indeed yummier than honey creme!)
At @kinsasushi HillV2 Not exaggerating, this was one of the best beef bowl I had. The glistering slices were luxurious with their marbling, perfectly cut, tender and flavourful that would leave traces of happiness in your mouth and belly.
