Experience Connor's - Chye Seng Huat Style


Not everyone in our family loves drinking and the drinkers have always wondered how can we stay inclusive in my family gatherings, haha. Lucky for us Connor's has solved our little issue with a limited partnership with Chye Seng Huat Hardware (cafe, not hardware store) to incorporate Connor's directly into dishes and desserts. 

Beautifully decorated with Connor's colours, it brought back my drinking experiences overseas. If you love retro, Chye Seng Huat Hardware preserved its hardware shop roots and the industrial design. It definitely allowed me to soak in the vibe while enjoying my pint. 


Developed by Christina Ee, Head Chef at Chye Seng Huat Hardware, you need to check out the limited-time creations. Each dish draw directly from Connor’s flavour profile, using stout in a different way:
  • The Connor’s Grill (S$12++): Chicken lovers will enjoy it paired with a creamy Connor’s stout-infused mayo. The stout is gently roasted and the earthy bitterness cuts through the richness of the sauce. 

  • The Stout Stack (S$30++):  A juicy wagyu beef is topped with slow-caramelised onions infused with Connor’s Stout Porter, a sunny-side-up egg, fresh tomato and crisp lettuce, completed with fries. Very yummy

  • The Connor’s Affogato (S$9.20++): Not to be missed, this is our absolute favourite. We would never imagined that the combination of espresso, vanilla ice cream and Connor’s Stout Porter would come so smoothly together. If you have a sharp tastebuds, you will taste the gentle carmel and chocolate notes of the stout. 

Beyond the food, we can also buy something home. There is a cute selection of Connor’s T-shirts, tote
bags, mugs and collectible pins available for purchase while stocks last. To sweeten the deal, every main purchased at Chye Seng Huat Hardware from Monday to Friday, 6PM onwards, will also come with a complimentary half pint (250ml) of Connor’s. Those looking to raise a full pint can enjoy Connor’s at S$10++ during happy hour, available daily from 6PM to 9PM (usual price S$15++).

The fun just doesn't stop. Activities to look out for include:
  • Sip, spin and win: Purchase two full pints of Connor’s in a single receipt to receive a sure-win spin at the Connor’s gachapon to win exclusive merchandise up
  • Complimentary photos and stickers are also available as keepsakes.
  • Complete the word search, snap a photo and tag @connorssingapore and @cshhcoffee on Instagram for a chance to win a carton of Connor’s, with one winner selected each week

Drinkers / Non-Drinkers - this is a great chance to experience stout differently. The collaboration between Connor's and Chye Seng Huat Hardware is only available from now till 1 November 2026. We are definitely heading back soon, this time with a bigger group of extended family. Fun is always doubled when there is something for everyone <3

High tea that never disappoints - Pacific Emporium

One of our most unguarded secrets is how much we love Pacific Emporium, especially its high tea selection. Just when we thought the bar is set, they outdo themselves again. It is is probably a permanent fixture by now, the high tea comes with a light main. This time round we had the Braised Beef Short Ribs and Kedgeree (English Curried Rice). 

Usually, for sets like this, the mains are never outstanding. But I was so wrong and impressed with Kedgeree. This is possibly the best spiced rice I ever had and I would even come just for this alone. The High Tea came with an additional welcome drink, making it a whooping 6 drinks between 2 adults and 2 kids. 


The spread was generous and gorgeous as always. Even though we came with an empty stomach, we still had to take away the delicious scones as we were too full to finish. Apart from the food, the ambience is always awesome here. It is one of those places where I can enjoy a relaxing day out. For me, it is always the weekdays because I love how it comes in a set. It just feels more luxurious and pampering. 

Also, it is cheaper at S$58++ (without champagne). I also prefer a more private setting. Weekend sessions are better for value at S$68++, such that is served buffet style. You can get repeats and try more variety. A glass of Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne can be added on for $20++. It really depends on personal preference. If you still haven't tried Pacific Emporium at least once, you should. And you probably will get hooked!

Flavours of the Lion City Review

Good things taste better when shared. My father and brother has always enjoyed the tales of Edge at Pan Pacific. They went for the ‘Flavours of the Lion City’ and was utterly impressed with the variety of food available. If you are like my brother and have a ferocious appetite, buffets are the most value for money way to go. You can fill yourself with quality food till you are full. 

For my brother, his favorite is the laksa, chilli crab and the sweet riceball dessert. For my father, he enjoyed the Asian delights such as the hot soup, promfets and the fresh seafood. Specials of the 'Flavours of the Lion City’ include the charcoal-barbecued live station showcases Marinated Giant Squid, Local-farmed Vannamei Prawn!

Save your tummy taste for their desserts. Nostalgic flavours, such as Edge’s Signature Durian Pandan Cake and Chempedak Cake are the typical must-have. But don't miss the playful creations, such as Milo Pani Puri,  Chocolate Chilli Padi Tartlet, Coconut Rock Melon Tart, Horlicks Bread, Butter Pudding and Ondeh-ondeh Ice Cream. Our family joke is that you need to starve for days before and after so that you can enjoy the full suite of delights!

If you don't have plans for the long weekends yet, buffet can be an option in your list. ‘Flavours of the Lion City’ at Edge from 10 July until 9 August 2026, available daily. Weekday lunch is extremely affordable, perfect for team lunches.
