Food For Now: Three pit stops to refuel while you shop at Paragon

Paragon is perhaps one of the most iconic malls of Orchard Road, associated with classy brands and a touch of the luxurious everywhere you walk. A shopping experience at Paragon is almost always a breath of fresh air, and after a recent revamp, offers attractive retail and dining options for all to enjoy. As you walk through the refurbished mall, consider stopping by these three establishments that we’ve picked out to give you an all-encompassing dining experience, perfect for planning your day around.

Start the day off with Crazy Rich Thai (#01-25/25A). As its name suggests, this is one restaurant that offers up unexpected culinary twists, combining Western and Thai flavours and ingredients and infusing classic dishes with a sense of play that teases their eyes and tantalises their palates, with these inventive recipes and revitalising coffee.

Decked out in Tiffany-green accents and 2D comic book design aesthetics, this is a space that’s perfect for selfies and your next Instagram story. If you happen to be here early, be sure to enjoy their all-day breakfast options, such as Thai twists on the traditional French toast or big breakfast and make sure you try their coffee too.

If you’re looking for a snack or lighter bite, check out their salad menu, where the top selling item is their Prawn Carpaccio, with raw prawns paired with a spicy Thai seafood sauce. For something more robust, how about their Crazy Wings – deep fried lemongrass chicken winglets in Thai chili sauce for that Asian kick.

And to end off? Have a taste of their desserts, such as the Jackfruit Khao Niao, with fresh jackfruit stuffed with sweet Thai glutinous rice, making for a photo finish to an exciting fusion meal, before heading for more shopping and sightseeing.

Teatime is a luxury, and should be treated as such. Head on over to Avenue on 3 Cafe (#03-46) to experience a touch of class. Located within its eponymous concept store, pamper yourself within this 40-seater oasis, with healthy food or a coffee break, and look out for the gorgeous tableware that adds a vibrant touch to your dining experience.

From scones to cake, a decadent selection of tea and coffee, make this your stop for an afternoon tea break to sit down for a chat over delectable snacks and cake. Don’t let us just tell you, try for yourself as you indulge in this luxurious experience.

Finally, end the day off at Halcyon & Crane (#03-09/09A), serving up modern European cuisine with Sichuan influences, all delivered in a well-curated smorgasbord of beautifully crafted dishes, wholesome beverages, and elegant cocktails. Located on the third floor overlooking the Paragon 5 atrium, its laid-back chic decor envelopes you in a halcyon ambience to offer a respite from the bustling city.

The highlight of the menu would be the Dan Dan Spaghettini, which combines the Chinese Dan Dan Noodles with a Western style. Comprising al dente noodles mixed with pork ragout and kale, the dish is light on spice with red chili oil, and also has peanut sesame sauce to really enhance the full fragrance of the dish. The dish is completed with an onsen egg – break its yolk and you’ll add lusciousness that adds a delectable finish.

There’s certainly more where that came from – look out for a constantly shifting menu that lets you enjoy all-day Brunch creations such as their Duck Confit & Pancake and Crab Omelette with Avocado Toast, alongside signature dishes such as their pastas and indulgent desserts. All in all, a thoroughly satisfactory fusion menu that is sure to excite your palate.

Now there’s more reason than ever to check out Paragon mall, not once, but over and over again as you shop to your heart’s delight and make sure you keep yourself fuelled and well-fed with these brand new openings with fantastic food.
