"One way to immediately become the most popular person in the group chat? Suggest a meet-up at Viva Goa. The lowkey Indian restaurant in the Marina serves Goan specialties that will send you into another dimension. It’s also an effortless option when you need a last-minute spot for dinner, since walking in with a big crew is always easy (no reservations needed) and everything is shareable. Once you all have slid into a booth, fill the table with bowls and bowls of prawn xacuti, the vegetable-packed navrattan korma, mulgatawni soup, and their sizzling tandoori fish." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
