Where To Wine And Dine Like A Crazy Rich Asian in Singapore

An insider’s guide to where the real crazy rich actually eat and drink. By Michelle Varinata

July 19, 2018

Crazy Rich Asians is a work of fiction, but you can live like the characters in real life. In spite of having a LOT of money (I mean, a ridiculous amount of zeros), the real bourgeoisie of our diminutive island refuse to be seen by us plebians. Even if they go to the best hotspots in town, the ultra wealthy don’t go there to be caught in the wild. Instead, they go there to simply enjoy the food and finish the entire wine bottle.

If you can’t be bothered to land a rich husband or are currently stuck under a non-CEO position, you can convince everyone that you are one of the real life Crazy Rich Asians. (As long as you don’t tell anyone about your Birkin dealer!)  Here are the top secret locations where you can wine and dine like them.

Every mother and their daughter sport matching Hermés bags and rock the finest jewelry . Even if every mum doesn't want their family's business to be outed on Instagram, at least the daughters (whose profiles are preferably kept private) geotag this place for every food pic before they nosh. 'Grammable to the tee, it's equally pleasing to the taste buds. Photo: Burnt Ends

Far away from Orchard and Chinatown, this local secret spot is known for its super fresh seafood selections and crispy rice noodle chips.

Bummed that Hashida closed down? You can find another hot sushi joint inside the Shangri-La. Sitting pretty with a panoramic view of the skyline, you can indulge in the highest grade raw fish as you look at the cloudy blue skies. Never has eating sushi ever looked this glamorous.

On Saturdays and Sundays, expect the crowd to be at peak capacity. Among the horde, it's hard to tell who's who unless you sit all the way inside. Nevertheless, enjoy the atmosphere as you will fall in love with their eggs cocotte, Coachella crab fries and coffee. Photo: Forty Hands

Just a few steps away from Dover Street Market, this dining spot is where you can find rich girls flaunting their fine jewelry, neatly done hair and polished garments.

Eat, love and gossip. To put this wisely, it's drink, talk and spend. Known for its (ultra expensive) caviar cold pasta, it'll warm your heart up as you clink glasses of red wine at the side. If the crazy rich don't want to be seen in public with a massive group, they have the restaurant on speed dial for private catering. Photo: Gunther's

Ring in a swanky late night with fancy tipples in hand. Echoing Soho House's members-only approach, this is where the VIPs roll with the HNWIs (a.k.a. high net worth individuals). Located within Zouk, this club is difficult to get in without a regular. Photo: Zouk

Vive la France! While the country already slayed its way to winning the World Cup, let's not forget about its equally influential cuisine. If you want to catch some Instagrammable action, use the chance to take photos of the delectably scrumptious meals and eye-pleasing decor. Photo: Merci Marcel
