Food Picks Ep 8: Find exquisitely fluffy tamago sando in the city centre

2:53 mins

Synopsis: This is the best of the food recommendations The Straits Times has talked about and is out on alternate Wednesdays.

Host Melissa Sim chats with ST food editor Tan Hsueh Yun about Grids & Circles' tamago sando; the perfect ratio of tamagoyaki, Japanese style sandwich bread, toasted and spread with kombu mayonnaise.

The menu includes matcha latte, which, unlike most other matcha lattes, is not too sweet.

If you are not craving Japanese food, Grids & Circles - located at 200 South Bridge Road - also sells cherry and chocolate oats, which is a healthy mix of superfoods.

These food items continue to be sold. Read Tan's original food review.

Let's Talk Movies Ep 3: Is arthouse horror movie Suspiria good, or is it complete rubbish?

9:29 mins

Synopsis: In this episode of Let's Talk Movies, film writer John Lui and arts writer Toh Wen Li have differing opinions on the film Suspiria, a 2018 remake of a 1977 work of horror.

Arts writer Toh loves the original Suspiria, directed by Dario Argento and released in 1977.

She loves its nightmarish quality and its take on the Snow White fairy tale. But she thinks the new version, directed by Luca Guadagnino and now showing in cinemas, is messy and far too long.

Lui, who likes the new version, finds out if he should change his mind.
