If you are tired of not getting the reservations at Bread Street Kitchen or Jamie’s Italian, it’s time you go for other alternatives. Other than singing and acting, these local celebrities are also masters in the kitchen, dishing out different gastronomic creations that are set to whet your appetites.

And one thing we know for sure – they can very much save on the publicity as they themselves are already the walking publicities of these food establishments, keeping them one step ahead in the game.

Even though Old Town White Coffee is more renowned in Malaysia, it has still left some of its traces here in Singapore – though quite a number of establishments have closed down. The coffee house seeks to impart full-bodied taste, texture, and aroma in their coffees to maintain the true essence of their heritage.

The story goes that Pornsak’s restaurant almost failed, they were running out of money, no savings, and no chefs to cook for the restaurant. But, at the very last moment, his restaurant gained publicity and people knew about the existence of Porn’s Sexy Thai Food. And like they say, the rest is history. Today, it’s thriving so well that he has opened a few other establishments.

And how can we forget about our favourite Felicia Chin? Located at Satay By The Bay, Wholly Crab is a casual seafood joint that serves seafood by the bucket – something like what other Louisiana seafood establishments in Singapore are doing – let’s not name names. The difference lies in the sauces offered which incorporates both local and Asian flavors.
