 Last month, a three-room HDB flat at 697A Jurong West Central 3 in District 22 was sold for $628,000 ($858 psf), which is a record high for such flats in Jurong West. The 732-sq ft flat is located on the 13th to 15th storeys and has a long remaining lease of approximately 90 years.
We used our analytics tool, Is it a Good Deal?, to assess the transaction and determine whether the buyer of this flat secured a bargain. Long remaining lease and close proximity to numerous amenities The subject flat is within walking distance of numerous amenities, including Boon Lay Bus Interchange, Jurong Point, River Valley High School (secondary and junior college) and Jurong Central Park. Other nearby schools include Boon Lay Garden Primary School, Frontier Primary School, Jurong West Primary School, Lakeside Primary School, Boon Lay Secondary School and Jurong West Secondary School. Additionally, the subject flat is a short walk from Boon Lay MRT Station, which currently serves the East–West Line. The station is also slated to serve the Jurong Region Line when Stage 1 of the upcoming MRT line is completed in 2028. Another plus point for the subject flat is its long remaining lease of approximately 90 years, as its lease started in 2017. The long remaining lease, coupled with its close proximity to various amenities, could have contributed to the subject flat’s price being significantly higher than the average prices for the neighbouring HDB projects and the district. Record high price for three-room flats in Jurong West Data from HDB indicates that 69 three-room flats in the Jurong West HDB town have been sold so far this year for prices ranging from $300,000 to $628,000. The transacted price for the subject flat marks a new record high for three-room flats in Jurong West, surpassing the previous high of $608,888 ($832 psf), which was set in December 2025 by a flat at nearby 697B Jurong West Central 3. Like the subject flat, the flat at Block 697B measures 732 sq ft and has a lease that started in 2017. Among the three-room flats in Jurong West that have been sold thus far this year, the subject flat is the only one that fetched more than $600,000. In comparison, three three-room flats in the same town crossed that threshold last year. Notably, all three flats are located along Jurong West Central 3 and are a short walk from the subject flat. Transacted price for subject flat higher than average price for peers Since 2020, three-room flats in Jurong West ($541 psf) have consistently commanded a higher average resale price compared to their four-room ($527 psf) and five-room ($519 psf) counterparts. However, the highest price growth since 2020 has been recorded by four-room flats (45.6%), followed closely by three-room (43.5%) and five-room (41%) flats. The lease of the subject flat started in 2017, making it nine years old. Among three-room flats that are 10 years old or less, those in Jurong West ($714 psf) share a similar average price to those in the West Region ($714 psf). Meanwhile, similar flats islandwide recorded a significantly higher price of $832 psf. Notably, the transacted price of $858 psf for the subject flat is higher than that of its peers across all three areas. Only Summerdale and The Centris are within walking distance Summerdale and The Centris are the only private residential developments within a 500m radius of the subject flat. Similar to the subject flat, both developments are located in District 22. Summerdale is a 99-year leasehold executive condo (EC) with 432 units. Located along Boon Lay Drive, the EC obtained its temporary occupation permit (TOP) in 2000, indicating that it has been privatised. The Centris is a 99-year leasehold condo featuring 610 units. The condo obtained its TOP in 2009, making it 17 years old. Like the subject flat, The Centris is also located along Jurong West Central 3. At the time of writing, no units in Summerdale have been sold this year. However, 17 units from the EC were sold last year, chalking up an average resale price of $984 psf, which is lower than that for ECs in District 22 ($1,254 psf) and islandwide ($1,390 psf). Its lower price could be because Summerdale is 26 years old. Furthermore, the land lease of the 99-year leasehold EC started in 1997, leaving it with a remaining lease of around 70 years. Additionally, Summerdale does not have any MRT stations within walking distance. Boon Lay MRT Station is the nearest station but it is more than 700m away. However, the residents are still well-served by some nearby amenities such as River Valley High School, Boon Lay Garden Primary School, Boon Lay Shopping Centre as well as Boon Lay Market and Food Village. Having obtained its TOP in 2009, The Centris is less than 20 years old, which could explain why its average resale price of $1,689 psf is higher than that for 99-year leasehold condos in District 22 ($1,558 psf). However, the average resale price for both is lower than that of their peers islandwide ($1,733 psf). Since 2020, The Centris has reported the highest price growth of 50.4%, compared to 99-year leasehold condos in District 22 (46.4%) and islandwide (41.7%). Its strong price growth could be because it is integrated with Boon Lay MRT Station, Boon Lay Bus Interchange and Jurong Point, thus offering convenience and connectivity to residents. Conclusion The subject flat at 697A Jurong West Central 3 achieved a record-high price for three-room flats in Jurong West. Its long remaining lease, close proximity to Boon Lay MRT Station and Jurong Point, as well as numerous nearby schools and amenities, likely contributed to the premium price. In addition to setting a new record-high price for three-room flats in Jurong West, the transacted price for the subject flat ($858 psf) is also higher than the average resale prices for similar flats in the West Region ($714 psf) and islandwide ($832 psf).

But according to the latest research, very few of us are doing the things that are proven to help.
Not everybody is going to live to be 100 years old. Even in communities untouched by the temptations of modern civilization, most people die before hitting the century mark. However, there is evidence that the majority of people with the right choices could live until their nineties in relatively good health. We don’t have to spend the last twenty years of our lives on medications, unable to move: the choices that we make today make a profound difference. Studies Reveal Five Critical Factors For A Long Life The science of what makes people live longer is going through something of a revolution. Until recently, all we knew were the behaviors that seemed to be associated with longer life: things like not smoking and getting regular exercise. But the more that science delves into the topic of aging, the more we learn. It’s not as simple as a car that gets olds and rusty and eventually wears out. Aging is something much more profound and, surprisingly, modifiable. In one of the most extensive studies on healthy aging to date published in the leading medical journal Circulation, researchers followed the lives of more than 5,000 people in the CARDIA study, a big and expensive prospective trial which aims to shed some light on the types of behaviors that protect people from disease as they age. The findings from that study were mostly common sense. Don’t smoke. Eat a “healthy diet.” Exercise every day. Avoid drinking too much alcohol, and keep your weight down. It’s pretty basic stuff. But what was so interesting about the study was that practically none of the participants hit four of the five lifestyle factors, let alone all five. The vast majority of people failed to eat a healthy diet (which wasn’t particularly healthy), get enough exercise, and avoid alcohol. Even fewer people had made the switch to vape kits or changed their behaviour regarding smoking. The results got the researchers thinking: what would happen if the majority of people hit all five healthy behaviours? Unfortunately, because so few people live a genuinely healthy lifestyle, they couldn’t apply the usual statistical significance tests on the data. Only a few people made all five healthy lifestyle choices, and so there wasn’t a sizeable enough group to make a general statement about their health. What you would expect, however, is that the people who adopted all of the healthy behaviours and stuck with them throughout life would live substantially longer than those who didn’t. Of course, the study focused on the known and highly-publicised risk factors for early death. It didn’t consider many of the emerging factors that appear to play a substantial role in helping people to live longer – some of which are unexpected. People Who Live Longer Have Active Social Lives The idea that having a lot of friends and meaningful relationships would help you live longer seems a little far-fetched. But time and time again, researchers find that it’s an essential factor. The first hint that social relationships might play a role came when scientists studied the Blue Zones – places in the world where people regularly live past a century. Scientists wanted to understand what made these places so special and why people seemed to be able to live longer here than just about anywhere else on Earth. What they found was remarkable: not only did people eat well and avoid many of the trappings of Western society, but they also have excellent social environments. People lived in communities where they knew everyone, and people were tightly knit. This early research was then later backed up by further studies, which showed that people who live in isolation in the West experience a worsening of their health. Major studies looked at the ways living by yourself as an older person increases your chance of developing a host of long-term chronic diseases, such as heart disease, dementia, and stroke. Why having a close-knit social circle is essential remains a matter of scientific inquiry, but the general sense among researchers is that having people close to you has real, physiological effects on the body. Part of the explanation is evolutionary. When we are with other people, we feel more protected and relaxed. If a predator approaches, there are many people around to signal a warning. Likewise, other people in the community can help us meet our basic survival needs: something that’s much more challenging to do when we are by ourselves.  The beauty industry is packed with products for different purposes and it is almost impossible to own them all, and sometimes we find ourselves in a situation when we have to improvise. This is a completely normal situation for women who always struggle with time and typical problems like the lack of outfits, messy haircut, that one product that is missing, or that they forgot to buy. However, none of these situations are unsolvable, hence, here are some completely extraordinary, life-savior beauty tips that will make you look absolutely astonishing.
1. Extra Long Lashes Applying one coat of your mascara will not always give your desired length and volume, and it is not that we always feel like putting those extra glamorous fake lashes. However, here is one amazing hack that will make your lashes look glamorous and dramatic in a couple of seconds, and only by using a cotton ball. Use your mascara and apply a coat of it to your lashes and then use a separate eyebrow or lashes brush to tap it gently in the cotton ball so that some of the cotton fibers are transferred to the brush, then gently apply it to your lashes so that some cotton fibers stick to the fresh mascara coat. You can apply as many coats as you want, depending on the effect you want to achieve. 2. Wigs Wigs are a stylish way to deal with your haircut. Sometimes, it is impossible to style your natural hair or you are dealing with some conditions that affect it and that is when wigs come in to give you a natural look. There are all types of wigs on the market varying in style, color, and price. From full to half wigs, you can easily find one that best suits your needs and looks great with any outfit. Wigs can be made of natural or artificial hair and therefore their appearance is different. Blogs and reviews about wigs can be quite helpful for making a perfect choice. For example, this article has a in-depth review of the 3 best long, blonde wigs, and a handy buying guide that can help you pick the perfect wig for you. The only thing you should pay attention to is that the wig sits firmly on your head and that it looks natural. Wigs are great for the girls wearing protective hairstyles like braids. In any case, wigs can save you when you are short of time because they can make perfect haircuts. 3. Red Lipstick As The Concealer Red lipstick can be used in various ways, not only as lipstick. If you are dealing with dark circles and eyebags, red lipstick will make a contrast so that the dark color of the circles is eliminated. Put red or orange lipstick under your eyes and gently tap it in with the concealer brush, blend it in and put your favorite concealer on the top of it. The process may look funny and you will probably look like a clown, but the final result will be amazing. On top of it, you can use your red lipstick as a creamy blush which appears to be a complete makeup boom lately. If blended well, this color will give you a dreamy and dewy look. 4. Eyeliner Wing Most girls suffer whenever they try to pull off a perfect eyeliner wing because they never look the same. You may have been trying various brushes, the soft and solid ones, but it did not help. However, you can use a lot of stuff from your near environment for making your eyeliner wing perfect. The first on this list of tools is a spoon. Use the round part of a spoon for making your wing and a nice line on the top of your eye. One more use of a spoon can be for creating a perfect cap crease. Use the upper edge of a spoon for applying the darker shades on the top of your eyelid. The next item on the list for creating a perfect eyeliner wing is the tape. Put on the tape to create the perfect eyeliner shape and the rest is history. Last but not least on this short eyeliner tool is the tweezer. Paint the upper tip of the tweezer with the eyeliner, place it on the corner of your lid and fill the rest in. There are a lot of beauty hacks that can make your life easier and give perfect results. Beauty is not about buying extremely expensive products but making the best of the ones you already have. Overall, the goal is to find what works for you, and the end product is what counts.  Travelling to Johor Bahru is not always worth it. Between the long queues at the border and the effort of crossing over, the exchange rate may not seem as appealing compared to the comfort of staying in Singapore. And while many claim the food across the Causeway is better, there are local gems that hold their own—one of them being Bukit Ho Swee Charcoal Curry Fish Head, which currently has outlets in Bukit Batok and Yishun.  As its name suggests, the brand’s main speciality is its signature dish—claypot curry fish head. According to them, they are the first zi char eatery to introduce such a dish cooked over traditional charcoal fire, honouring a recipe that dates back to 1961.  With the aroma of the curry fish head filling the coffee shop, we were instantly thrilled to be greeted by a huge charcoal pot brimming with ingredients. Their Mangrove Jack Fish Head ($28) featured generous chunks of fresh fish, crispy fried beancurd skin, and a vibrant medley of vegetables, including long beans, lady’s finger, cabbage, and tomato.  Sifting through the pot, I was delighted to find that while every scoop uncovered a huge serving of vegetables, there was an equally hearty portion of fish. The fish was delicate and seemed to slide off at the slightest touch, carrying a flaky texture with no sign of any unpleasant smell. Each bite was clean-tasting and subtly sweet, allowing the richness of the curry to shine through. The biggest highlight for me was the pronounced smoky charcoal flavour that lingered in every bite. It was no gimmick—the depth was unmistakable, adding a rustic smokiness that elevated the entire dish. The vegetables soaked up the rich broth beautifully, and the curry was good enough to enjoy with rice on its own.  Besides the main star of the show, we also ordered their Hotplate Beancurd ($13), which featured tofu, egg, mixed vegetables, mushrooms, and prawns, all soaked in a robust braised broth.  Their Crispy Prawn Paste Chicken ($12) is a must-try as well, with each piece well marinated and bursting with juices, making it the perfect companion to the curry fish head.  While the now-closed central outlet once offered a convenient option, I’d still recommend making the trip up north for their traditional curry fish head. With bold flavours, generous portions, and wallet-friendly prices, it makes for a hearty, satisfying meal. I’m confident their other outlets uphold the same level of quality, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

The most profitable condo resale transaction during the week of Feb 24 to March 3 was the sale of a three-bedroom unit at The Waterside. The 2,411 sq ft unit on the seventh floor changed hands for $5.5 million ($2,281 psf) on Feb 25. The unit was previously purchased for $1.69 million ($700 psf) in April 1998. Thus, the seller raked in a record profit of $3.81 million (225.9%), or an annualised gain of 4.3% over nearly 28 years.
The deal marks the most profitable resale transaction to date at The Waterside. It tops the previous record gain of $3.13 million, when a 2,142 sq ft unit fetched $4.88 million ($2,278 psf) in April 2025. The three-bedder had previously transacted for $1.75 million ($817 psf) in September 2006, resulting in the seller making an annualised profit of 5.7% over almost 19 years. Completed in 1993, The Waterside is a freehold condo located along Tanjong Rhu Road in District 15. The development is adjacent to the Singapore Swimming Club and Dunman High School, and is also near Katong Park MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. It comprises six 23-storey residential blocks, offering three- and four-bedroom units ranging from 2,142 to 2,433 sq ft. The second-largest gain recorded during the week came from the sale of a three-bedroom unit at Sky@Eleven, along Thomson Lane. The 2,271 sq ft unit on the 37th floor was purchased for $2.73 million ($1,200 psf) in May 2007 and changed hands for $5.75 million ($2,532 psf) on Feb 26. Hence, the seller made a profit of $3.02 million (111%), or an annualised gain of 4% over a holding period of almost 19 years. This marks the fifth most profitable resale transaction at the development to date. The record gain belongs to the sale of a 2,713 sq ft four-bedder for $6.48 million ($2,389 psf) in April 2024. The unit had previously transacted for $2.8 million ($1,031 psf) in March 2007, which means the seller made a gain of $3.68 million. This translates to an annualised profit of 5% after a holding period of slightly over 17 years. The most unprofitable resale transaction during the period in review occurred at Bishopgate Residences, a freehold condo in prime District 10. The 2,896 sq ft, four-bedroom unit was sold for $8.8 million ($3,039 psf) on Feb 27. The unit previously fetched $10.66 million ($3,682 psf) in March 2021. Thus, the transaction resulted in a loss of $1.86 million (17.5%), which translates to an annualised loss of 3.8% over five years. Based on lodged caveats, this latest deal marks the first unprofitable resale transaction at Bishopgate Residences. In 2025, the development saw just one resale deal: a 3,165 sq ft, five-bedroom unit thatfetched $10.45 million ($3,302 psf) in February. Completed in 2012, Bishopgate Residences comprises a single residential block housing 31 units. The development offers a mix of three- to five-bedroom units spanning 2,433 to 5,974 sq ft. It is situated within the affluent Bishopgate–Chatsworth residential enclave, close to the Indonesian embassy. Meanwhile, the sale of a 755 sq ft unit at The Clift was the second most unprofitable condo resale transaction of the week. The one-bedder on the 32nd floor transacted for $1.3 million ($1,677 psf) on Feb 25. The seller, who acquired it in June 2011 for $2.06 million ($2,730 psf), incurred a loss of about $816,075, or 38.6%. The seller had owned the unit for more than 14½ years. The Clift is a 99-year leasehold development located along McCallum Street in District 1. Completed in 2011, the condo comprises 312 apartments and a single-storey retail podium. It offers one- and two-bedroom apartments measuring between 495 and 818 sq ft, as well as one- and two-bedroom lofts ranging from 753 to 1,076 sq ft. Lodged caveats show that the development recorded 19 resale deals last year, nine of which were unprofitable. The nine units, ranging from 495 to 775 sq ft, incurred losses of $24,600 to $731,000.  CPF interest rates and the HDB concessionary housing loan rate will remain unchanged for the second quarter of 2026.
The Ordinary Account rate will stay at 2.5% per annum from 1 April to 30 June 2026, whilst the Special, MediSave, and Retirement Accounts rates will remain at 4% per annum. The Central Provident Fund Board and Housing & Development Board said the rates are staying at their floor levels because the pegged formulas remain below those floors. The HDB concessionary housing loan rate, which is pegged at 0.1 percentage point above the OA rate, will remain at 2.6% per annum. Members will also continue to receive extra interest on their CPF savings. Those aged below 55 will earn an extra 1% on the first $60,000 of their combined balances, capped at $20,000 for OA balances. Members aged 55 and above will continue to receive an extra 2% on the first $30,000 of their combined balances, capped at $20,000 for OA balances, and an extra 1% on the next $30,000. The extra interest earned on OA balances will go into members’ Special Account or Retirement Account, whilst members aged above 55 who participate in CPF LIFE will continue to earn the extra interest on combined CPF balances that include savings used for CPF LIFE.  We want our bodies to be healthier, we all do. We want to look after them, we know that we only have one and it makes sense to take care of it so that we can feel good. The problem can be in deciding what to actually do to be more healthy, or having the time to do anything about it. Which is why we are sharing with you 7 things that you can do to give your health a boost today. These are all quite simple to do so you should have no trouble committing to at least one or two of them, if not all. Give them a go and let us know how you feel.
Drink Your Water There are so many health benefits of drinking water, so we want to start with this one. If you do one thing from this list, do this. Water keeps your whole body hydrated, which means that it keeps your whole body working for you. You cannot afford to skip this one if you want to look after yourself. Always keep a glass or bottle with you whilst you work. As soon as it’s empty, fill it up and keep on drinking it steadily throughout the day. Now you might find that when you first do this, you will be popping out to the toilet more frequently than usual, but do not be put off and stop. Your body soon adjusts to the new intake and it will regulate itself. Skip The Sugary Snacks If you are struggling to stay focused and motivated, don’t reach for the can of coke and a bar of chocolate. We have all done it, it’s often a quick hit for our bodies, some sugar and caffeine and we’re back working again. But we know that there is a better way. We’re not suggesting that you don’t snack, if you’re hungry and struggling to concentrate, by all means grab a snack. But try a handful of almonds or blueberries and you will find that they will stave off those hunger pangs and give your body a boost. And as a replacement for the aforementioned can of coke, why not try sipping on a refreshing green detox drink to help flush away toxins as well as quenching your thirst and satisfying any hunger pangs. Go For A Walk Spend some time outside, get into the great outdoors. Your walk will be good for your physical health and should help to lower blood pressure and serve to destress you. You’ll also be breathing in fresh air and absorbing much-needed vitamin D. This is such a simple one to do to give your health a boost, so give it a go today. Give Up Smoking This is a big one, isn’t it? We all know that smoking is not good for our health, but for those who already do this, it is difficult to give up. You might find that moving onto a nicotine patch or vaping will help you to reduce your cigarette intake initially, with a view to cutting everything out eventually. You will find that places such as Vsavi.co.uk have the Vapour2 Pro Series so get whatever you need to in place, and then give up those cigarettes. Your body will thank you for it. Drink Your Vitamins If you haven’t the time to sit and eat your fruit and vegetables today, then how about drinking them? There are numerous health benefits to drinking cold-pressed juice, or you could opt for a smoothie. You need to ensure that you are only putting in fresh ingredients and no additives. It is worth buying frozen fruits and keeping them in all of the time so that you always have fresh food to hand to make your drinks with. Have An Early Night Our bodies regenerate themselves when we sleep. We need enough sleep in order to refresh ourselves and prevent long term physical health issues and to improve our mental health. Most adults do not get enough sleep each week. There always seems to be so much to do, that sleep can sometimes be moved right down that priority list. But you are going to need to notch it up, even if you just go to bed twenty minutes earlier for a few days. You will feel the benefits of getting a better quality of sleep. Spend Time With Your Pet Research shows that having a pet reduces stress levels, lowers blood pressure and boosts your mood. This is along with it reducing the chances of you developing allergies. If you haven’t got a pet, aside from going and getting one, spend time with a family pet instead. If you take your dog for a walk, you will be giving your health two boosts in one hit!  Lip wrinkles are often referred to as lipstick lines, vertical lines or smoker’s lines. They are a part of the natural ageing process. These fine lines often run vertically on the top of the lips and can also appear all around the mouth area.
Some factors that may contribute to lip wrinkles include sun damage, repetitive muscle movement, smoking and genetics. Lip wrinkles age the face, but fortunately, we have five ways to get rid of lip wrinkles. Keep reading to find out more! Why Do I Have Lines On My Lips? Lip lines are caused by a number of reasons, including ageing and consuming foods and beverages that can promote lip wrinkles. Everyday behaviours can also fasten the process of lip wrinkle formation. These include:
As the lips are constantly scrunched or puckered it promotes the development of lip lines. How Can I Get Rid Of Lip Wrinkles? Luckily, we have five ways that can help get rid of lip lines. 1. Exfoliate The Lips Exfoliation is key to getting rid of lip wrinkles. Using a lip scrub or balm can get rid of chapped lips, reduce dry lips and improve barrier function. It’s ideal to use a lip scrub at least twice a week to ensure thorough exfoliation. When exfoliating, make sure to focus on the lines and avoid putting too much pressure on the delicate lip skin. Some simple home recipes for a lip scrub:
2. Use A Lip Balm With Sunscreen Lip wrinkles are often more noticeable when skin is dry. A lip balm with sunscreen will help to protect the lips from the sun’s harmful UV rays and keep them hydrated. It’s important to use a lip balm that contains broad-spectrum SPF, which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. It is ideal to aim for a minimum of SPF 30, though SPF 50+ is best. Some of our favourites lip balms with sunscreen are: Nivea Ultra Care and Protect SPF 30, Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Lip Balm and Blistex Ultra Lip Balm SPF 50+ 3. Take Collagen Supplements Collagen is ideal for keeping the skin looking youthful. Our bodies naturally produce collagen, but production becomes depleted as we age. This can lead to lip wrinkles, among other signs of ageing. Collagen supplements help to boost the body’s collagen levels and keep skin looking youthful. Some great collagen supplements include: Hydrolysed Collagen, Marine Collagen and Biocell Collagen. Collagen supplements can be mixed with water, added to your favourite smoothies or meals. 4. Stop Smoking Smoking is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. As smoking requires repetitive lip movement and lip pursing, it can cause lip wrinkles. Smoking also contributes to premature ageing and increases the risk of skin cancer. Smoking decreases the blood supply to the skin, which deprives it of oxygen and nutrients needed for healthy skin. The longer you smoke, the more wrinkles you are likely to develop. If you are a long time smoker, it’s okay – it’s not too late to quit. If you want to get rid of lip wrinkles, consider quitting smoking. 5. Get Lip Injections If you are looking for a more permanent solution to lip wrinkles, lip injections may be the answer. Lip injections are a fast and easy way to reduce lip wrinkles. It involves the injection of dermal fillers into the lips to fill in lip wrinkles and give them a plumper, more youthful appearance. There is minimal risk and downtime required, making it an ideal treatment. There are a variety of different lip injections available, so it is important to speak to a qualified doctor about which would be best for you. Some common lip injection fillers include: collagen, hyaluronic acid and fat cells. We hope you have found these five tips helpful in getting rid of lip wrinkles! As always, if you have any questions or need advice, please speak to a qualified professional.  Good news for tonkatsu lovers! This March, a new player will enter Singapore’s tonkatsu scene as Tonkatsu Daiki brings a taste of Osaka right to the heart of Orchard Road. Inspired by the culinary traditions of Japan’s food capital, the restaurant pairs precise tonkatsu craftsmanship with a distinctive Osaka-inspired ambience.  The brand arrives with an impressive pedigree, with its Osaka outlet recognised in the Michelin Guide for four consecutive years. Located at Ngee Ann City, the restaurant upholds the same dedication to precision and craftsmanship it is renowned for, evident in every step of its approach to the art of making tonkatsu.  Each premium pork cutlet at Tonkatsu Daiki is coated in airy panko, AKA Japanese white breadcrumbs, and fried slowly at precisely controlled temperatures. This careful process creates a light, golden crust that is crisp on the outside, while keeping the interior tender and juicy, with a delicate rosy blush at its centre.  The tonkatsu is then paired with thoughtfully prepared accompaniments to complete the experience. At the Osaka branch, sauces include oroshi ponzu, AKA grated daikon with citrus soy, plum-flavoured daikon sauce, miso katsu sauce, and the classic tonkatsu sauce.  Designed to transport diners straight to Osaka, the restaurant’s interior pays homage to the city’s vibrant streets, inspired by the experience of stepping off a JR train straight into bustling Dotonbori. The space reflects Osaka’s bustling food culture, allowing diners to soak in the city’s energy while savouring their carefully crafted tonkatsu.
