Modern Latin soul food hits Stanley Street with the launch of Cudo, the latest concept by the team behind Siri House and Moxie. Helmed by Chef Steven Chou, the menu draws from his New York roots and childhood memories of tacos, elotes and bold home cooking.
Think Tiger Prawns glazed in agave molasses, chorizo-loaded Disco Fries, and Wagyu Picanha marinated in beer and citrus. It's hearty, high-energy fare meant for sharing, paired with punchy cocktails like the saffron-spiked Noche Tropical.
Designed with velvet booths and vintage charm, the 76-seater space oozes Latin warmth with zero pretense. Come for lunch, brunch or golden hour tipples. Cudo's here to stir your soul. 13 Stanley Street, Singapore 068732

Actress Michelle Chen weeps at Stefanie Sun's first concert at Beijing's National Stadium
Michelle Chen (right) was among the 50,000 spectators who turned up for Stefanie Sun's concert in Beijing on June 13. PHOTOS: MAKE MUSIC, MICHELLE CHEN/WEIBO Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen wept during Singapore pop star Stefanie Sun's concert at Beijing's National Stadium. The 42-year-old was among the 50,000 spectators who turned up for the Beijing leg of Sun's concert tour on June 13. 'She is my favourite Chinese-language female singer and I have waited for this concert for a very long time,' Chen wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo on June 14 morning. 'I had a chance to watch it more than 10 years ago, but missed it due to work,' she wrote in Chinese. 'I didn't expect that it would be many years later before I got to watch her in concert.' Sun, 46, kicked off her first world tour in a decade, titled Aut Nihilo, in April with four concerts in Singapore. She also performed in Shanghai later in April and Shenzhen in May. 'I wanted to cry the moment you appeared on stage, as you were part of my youth for many years,' Chen wrote. 'Fortunately, I cried for only half of the show as there were fast songs.' The actress, who is best known for the Taiwanese coming-of-age romance film You Are The Apple Of My Eye (2011), then quoted part of the Chinese-language title of the movie in her post. 'During those years I listened to your songs, the songs felt like they were carrying one part of innocence, two parts of stubbornness and three parts of freedom,' she wrote. 'I found myself in the songs and pursued my dreams.' The actress shared her concert ticket, two photos of herself at the event and two short videos of Sun performing. Taiwanese actress Michelle Chen attended Stefanie Sun's concert in Beijing on June 13. PHOTO: MICHELLE CHEN/WEIBO Sun's concert at Beijing's National Stadium, which is nicknamed the Bird's Nest, was her first at the venue since her debut in 2000. Sun will be holding a second show there on June 15. She became the fourth Chinese-language female singer to hold a concert at the stadium after Hong Kong's Karen Mok and G.E.M. as well as Taiwan's A-mei.
