There's a satay buffet with unobstructed views of NDP fireworks every Saturday until August 9
With National Day around the corner, many of us are clamouring to catch a free glimpse of the NDP rehearsal and preview fireworks – which means that the usual fireworks-gazing spots in town are now extra packed over these few weekends. Cue camping an hour in advance just to snag a good spot, as you try to fight off boredom and hunger by munching on convenience store snacks as you wait. But we'll let you in on a little secret: skip all that fuss and discomfort while still enjoying a good eyeful of the spectacle with a sumptuous satay buffet at Meh'r by Inderpal, helmed by MasterChef Singapore Season 4 winner Inderpal Singh. Named after his daughter, the restaurant doles out modern dishes inspired by Chef Inderpal's favourite Southeast Asian flavours, from local to Indian and Thai, among others. Don't expect the standard satay that you'd find at your neighbourhood hawker centre. This $58 all-you-can-eat feast at Meh'r by Inderpal will have you devouring skewers in the following reinvented flavours, served with ketupat: Dunk these in the cashew sauce, an addictive spicy blend that is Chef Inderpal's elevated rendition of the traditional peanut sauce. Pair these with beer and G&Ts at just $8 per glass for a winning combination. When we visited on June 28, Chef Inderpal himself was stationed at the satay grill, so this is a rare chance to watch the MasterChef in action. We especially love the pork and beef versions for how flavour-packed and tender they are, and while some might typically veer away from lamb for its gaminess, Meh'r's tandoori lamb satay is a must-try. TIME OUT TIP Refer to our NDP fireworks schedule guide so you can time your toilet breaks accordingly, with buffer time to spare. While the main fireworks display usually starts at around 8.15pm, there will also be smaller bursts of pyrotechnics before that throughout the evening. TIME OUT TIP #2 Although the main restaurant is within an enclosed air-conditioned area, those having the satay buffet will be seated at the casual open-air rooftop deck. Wear light and loose fabrics for better comfort while dining, and stay away from anything long-sleeved. Meh'r by Inderpal is located at 42 South Bridge Road, #05-01. The satay buffet runs every Saturday evening until August 9 (inclusive), with each seating lasting 90 minutes. Find out more and make your booking here. The restaurant is a five-minute walk from Clarke Quay MRT station, and you can refer to this video if you need help on locating the entrance. Hint: look out for the yellow door in the back alley.

From Chin Mee Chin to Keng Eng Kee Seafood: Popular F&B brands serving SG60-special dishes in collab with cafe, Lifestyle News
With Singapore celebrating its 60th birthday, Cafe Quenino has a special dining experience planned just for the occasion. The restaurant, which is located in Artyzen hotel in Orchard, has a six-month-long culinary campaign featuring several big names in our local food and beverage scene like Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, Keng Eng Kee Seafood and Abundance. Each month, one local chef or restaurant will have their locally inspired dishes, which were jointly developed with Cafe Quenino's culinary team, featured in the menu. The brands will be on rotation over the campaign period. August is the only month that has a menu showcasing dishes from all the restaurants and chefs. AsiaOne had a preview of the August menu on July 2. Here's what you can expect: Hainanese beef brisket, seafood pao fan and more Chef Inderpal Singh of Meh'r, winner of MasterChef Singapore Season 4, already kicked things off earlier in May with his creation — Seafood Black Pepper Masak Kicap. This featured prawns and squid cooked in Inderpal's signature sauce. It was served atop an omelette and a bed of coconut basmati rice. I loved the sweet and slightly spicy black pepper kicap manis sauce, which paired well with the fresh, crunchy seafood. For dessert, there was creme brulee infused with Inderpal's house-made bru coffee caramel. Chin Mee Chin, one of Singapore's oldest confectioneries, was the restaurant in the spotlight in June. The brand happens to be celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, too. One can't dine at Chin Mee Chin without indulging in their kaya so for the campaign, they've created a unique Kaya Mille-feuille filled with kaya, mango and lychee. It also comes complete with a side of coconut ice cream. The Kaya Mille-feuille is among a few items on the menu that will be available throughout the six-month campaign. I was surprised by how light the pastry was and I loved how the kaya added a subtle sweetness to each bite. While Chin Mee Chin is mostly known for its nostalgic bakes and sweet treats, there are savoury options too. Just for the collaboration with Cafe Quenino, the confectionary has created its own rendition of the Hainanese Beef Brisket, paired with creamy mashed potatoes. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to beef and this gets a stamp of approval from me. Apart from being marinated well, the beef was extremely tender and juicy. The eatery for this month is Keng Eng Kee Seafood, which is known for its zi char dishes. On the menu are starters like the 'Hei Zho' Prawn Toast, which features fried bread stuffed with prawn mousse and topped with tomato jam. These were very addictive, and I was tempted to have more than one. Another dish to try is the eatery's Salted Egg Prawn. Yes, salted egg dishes are a little overdone in Singapore but this one left quite an impression on me. The crisp prawns were coated in the creamy, savoury and sweet salted egg sauce and came with a side of fried kombu rice and grilled baby corn. A very interesting pairing that surprisingly worked. For Singapore's birthday month, Goobybakes, which is known for its cheese baos, will have three unique local flavours to choose from — ginger chicken, house-made sambal and bakkwa. On top of that, there will be a special one-off lunch and dinner collaborative menu co-created by all participating guest chefs. Diners will also get to meet the chefs in person on Aug 1 and 2. The collaborative menu features dishes like Chin Mee Chin's Hainanese Beef Brisket, Abundance's 'Beef Bak Kut Teh' Ravioli and Keng Eng Kee Seafood's Salted Egg Prawns. In September, Abundance, which is known for its local and Taiwanese fusion flavours, will serve items like its Taro Pork Belly Bun, a fusion of Taiwanese gua bao and Hakka-style braised pork. As a bak kut teh lover, I thoroughly enjoyed their Beef Bak Kut Teh Ravioli, which featured beef short rib filling encased in ravioli skin and doused in a rich, herbal beef broth. This was finished off with a generous scattering of fried mee sua. I loved this dish so much that I wish it could have been a staple item on the menu rather than for limited time only. The overall campaign ends in October with Red House Seafood, which will have hearty bowls of Seafood 'Paofan' on the menu. The pao fan , which is a Teochew dish where rice is submerged in soup, comes accompanied with a piece of pan-seared Milkfish. This isn't your usual bowl of pao fan either — each serving comes with generous chunks of baby scallop and prawns. Very luxurious indeed. Diners can enjoy these dishes a la carte or opt for the lunch and dinner sets. A weekday lunch set costs $38 for a two-course meal and $48 for a three-course meal. Dinner features a communal set menu which costs $65 per person and requires a minimum of two diners. Apart from that, homegrown patisserie Cake Inspiration has three locally inspired desserts on Cafe Quenino's high tea menu. These are available throughout the entire six-month series. The bespoke cocktail series, which is inspired by Singapore's neighbourhoods and food habits, can also be ordered throughout the duration of the entire campaign. A must-try — especially if you love local coffee — is the Kaya Toastini, which is crafted with Roberto Cavalli Vodka and coffee liquor. It even comes with a side of Chin Mee Chin's kaya butter toast. For something more fruity, get the Swing Singapore Sling, made from No.3 Gin, Pink Guava Juice, lemongrass, saline and tonic. Address: 9 Cuscaden Rs, Level 1, Singapore 249719 Opening hours: Daily, 11am to midnight [[nid:719635]] melissateo@

Delhi: 2 held for GST fraud in Haryana, UP
Two members of a syndicate were arrested for generating fake Goods and Services Tax (GST) invoices to the tune of crores of rupees using PAN cards and mobile phone numbers of several people, police said on Saturday. The accused also replaced the contact details of genuine GST-registered firms on the website of the GST department and used them to generate false invoices, police said. Police are investigating the syndicate. (Representational image) The accused were identified as Inderpal Singh, 45, who is a lawyer, and his associate Sandeep Kumar, 27. The complaint in this case was registered recently by a businessman who said that when he applied for GST registration for his firm, he discovered that two GST numbers had already been issued on his PAN card without his knowledge. 'The fraudsters also acquired SIM cards using the complainant's Aadhaar card. We registered a case of impersonation, cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy and started an investigation,' said deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Amit Goel. Police approached the GST department and acquired the details of the two firms for which GST numbers had been issued using the complainant's PAN card. Police found that the two firms' listed addresses were fake. Police managed to track down one of the accused through technical surveillance and manual verification, and arrested Sandeep Kumar from Panipat in Haryana. Kumar revealed that he was an employee of Inderpal Singh, and they created bogus firms, police said. Police then arrested Singh from Shamli in Uttar Pradesh, the DCP said. 'They obtained details of firms registered under the GST Act from other members of the syndicate. Their associates provided them with the login details of the firms. After logging into the accounts on the GST department's website,the accused replaced the email IDs and phone numbers linked to the firms with their own. Then they contacted those who needed GST bills, and issued fake bills on the names of these firms. Inderpal revealed that he procured details of GST-registered firms from his associate by paying ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 30,000. His earnings were in lakhs of rupees through the cyber fraud,' added DCP Goel. Three smartphones, one laptop and a pen drive used by the accused to commit the cyber fraud were recovered, police said.

Pregnant wife of Edmonton man shot in his own driveway describes shock of losing husband
The widow of Inderpal Singh speaks to CTV News Edmonton on June 9, 2025. (Nav Sangha/CTV News Edmonton) WARNING: Some readers may find the content of this story disturbing. The wife of an Edmonton man who was fatally shot last week says her husband appeared happy and relaxed just hours before he was killed. Inderpal Singh, 40, was shot in the driveway of his southeast Edmonton home shortly after 12:30 a.m. on June 4 as he was returning home from work as an Uber driver. His pregnant wife says she went grocery shopping with him in the afternoon and they picked up their daughter from school before he went to work in the late afternoon. Inderpal Singh's widow The widow of Inderpal Singh speaks to CTV News Edmonton on June 9, 2025. (Nav Sangha/CTV News Edmonton) 'He had tea and some snacks, and he was so relaxed. There was nothing on his face like fear or if somebody was threatening, there was nothing like that,' she told CTV News Edmonton. 'At 4 p.m. he said, 'I'm going to work now.'' She says she would usually speak to her husband while he was working, but as she's nearly 40 weeks pregnant, she rested on Wednesday evening instead. 'Around 12 a.m. his car was outside on the driveway. We can see from the room window,' she said. 'Then after one minute, I heard shooting.' She said she didn't know where the shooting was coming from, but she knew her husband was outside and she was worried about him. 'When we went out, I saw he was already bleeding, his head was against the door. He was unconscious.' 'The window glass was not broken, so I used my fist to break it. On the driver's side. Both sides, not broken, only cracked with the bullets. I noticed some bullets on the driveway.' She said her husband was still breathing when she got to him, but he died about two minutes later. Southeast Edmonton death A 40-year-old man is dead after a report of a shooting at 16 Avenue and 65 Street SW in Edmonton on June 4, 2025. (Supplied) 'I'm still in shock.' The Edmonton Police Service won't say if Singh's killing was targeted or random. His wife says he was a family man. 'No conflicts with anyone, no issues. He never, he never discussed something being suspicious at home. Everything was normal with a normal life.' The family had only been in Canada since 2022 after emigrating from Hong Kong, where they had lived since 2011. They moved into the southeast Edmonton home last November. Inderpal Singh's SUV The vehicle belonging to Inderpal Singh sits on his driveway almost a week after he was fatally shot. (Nav Sangha/CTV News Edmonton) She is due with her second child later this month. The couple also has a nine-year-old daughter. 'She's missing him but she is so smart, and she knows that I am in pain and she wants to hide her emotions,' she said. 'I'm dealing with that and also telling her, 'If you feel anything, you feel you can tell me. You can discuss with me. You can see that I'm crying. So you can also cry if you want to.'' EPS is asking anyone with information about Singh's death to contact them at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Nav Sangha
