Date Night in Jalan Besar: Cheese, Pasta and Wine at Cheeselads

Why it works

Tables online are for 1 to 4 people, so the room is built for small groups and pairs. Cheese boards are made to share, which gives you something to do with your hands on a first date.

Open late on Friday and Saturday, until midnight. Monday opens at 4pm, and Tuesday is closed.

What to order for two

Start with the Cheesemonger's Choice ($38). Then split Scallop Angel Hair ($32), with Hokkaido scallops, ikura and truffle oil, and Spicy Pork Ragu Rigatoni ($24).

Dessert: Fried Camembert Ice Cream ($9 a serving), with strawberries and honey. Get two. That order comes to $112 before GST and service.

Wine, if you drink

Reds by the glass start at $13 on the menu, with red bottles from $85. There are whites, rosé, orange wine and bubbles too. Corkage is $30 for wine if you bring your own.

Alcohol is only served to people 18 and above in Singapore. Do not drive after.
