A continued move towards sustainability, influx of Michelin-starred restaurants and more
2016 had arguably been an exciting year for foodies, especially with the inaugural launch of the Michelin Dining Guide.
Humble hawker stalls were propelled to fame while restaurants raised the bar with chef collaborations and pop-ups.
At the same time, a bunch of too-adorable-to-be-true character themed cafes found their place in the hearts of many.
Those with an incurable sweet tooth were thrilled with the likes of molten cakes, tarts and even savoury-sweet salted egg croissants.

3. Multi-purpose dining concepts
As busy urbanites living in a metropolis, we’re no strangers to multi-tasking, even when it comes to food.
Going by the popularity of multi-tiered steamboats, diners appreciate having the option to grill, steam and barbecue their food all at the same time.
That’s not all; with the emergence of cafes like the Japan Rail Cafe, one can easily grab a meal and purchase rail passes for their next trip aboard.
Looks like retail-dining concepts are slowly evolving into much more too — the newly-opened Ola Beach Club will feature unusual water sports.
