Newly opened at Pavilion's Couture precinct, Cafe Stelle is run by Raffles Hotels & Resorts, which plans to launch a 200-room property here in 2011.

The menu is still extremely limited, though the staff promises that there'll be pasta, seafood and other main courses very soon.

Roasted butternut squash and caramelized granny smith apple soup. A thick, creamy and piping hot concoction that would probably please fans of soup.

Buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pesto. Satisfactory but unremarkable.

Kir Royale and Singapore Sling. Not great, but reasonably potent.
