Bar Cicheti’s big soul and classic jazz spill out of the old shophouse door and enfolds you in its feel-good vibe. In the gently lit pasta-and-wine bar, start with the lovely burratino with sourdough toast and burnt onion jam—so simple yet so good. The spaghetti caccio e pepe pici and rigatoni arriabata are also worthy. But the star is the fusili nero with uni and crabmeat, with its complex flavours coming together beautifully. End with the rich, flavoursome tiramisu. Ask owner LiLing to recommend some unusual wines to go with its appetisersized pastas.
