Update (second visit):
I've changed the rating from one star to a five star. Alter Ego invited us to dine at their establishment to redeem themselves and they did so very well! My friends and I were extremely impressed and pleased with the food. Not to mention the already outstanding service! They served us with smiles and made sure we had a pleasant experience. Thank you :)
This time we ordered Original Poke with less spice. The salmon was much much fresher and they took the initiative to pass us serving bowls. No stomach aches for us this time :) we had (very) crispy fish skin, pizza fries and the wagyu burger from the other menu. They were all very good and filling. We enjoyed them! Our favourite was the pizza fries, it was really quality melted cheese on top and not the cheap nacho kind. My friends enjoyed the housepour wines too and they were reasonably priced for the amount served.
Thank you for inviting us. From a "we're definitely not coming here again", we all agreed it has become a "yeah, let's eat here again!"
Polite and sincere customer recovery from Van too!
:)
=======================================
First Visit:
I had the Original Poke (I have no idea why mine tasted spicy, my friend's original poke was also spicy). Second friend had the Goddess vegan dish and she said the combination tasted weird with the kimchi. The quality wasn't good at all. Salmon wasn't fresh. It was mushy. Moreover, right after the meal I had really bad food poisoning. My friend who ate the same but didn't eat all the salmon had a bad stomach ache right after too. Additionally, my two friends bought gin, it had lime inside. They commented that it was very very bitter and diluted. Service was honestly decent but overall poor dining experience. It doesnt help that the food is served in relatively shallow bowls (hard to eat when your food is 2 times bigger and you're trying to mix) and the garnishes were flying around in the wind. 100% won't recommend. Disapponted because the sister store which we tried was really good and to our liking.
Great food and service.Loved the wide selection of beers that they have, and even on a busy night, service was on point. The Grilled Cheese really made my night, just oozing with deliciousness. The entire place had a really good vibe and the staff were really friendly. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back again!
Good ambiance, good food and amazing view, perfect place to relax with family and friends: Alter Ego. A gastobar, cafe at day and bar at night. They have wide varieties food and drinks to choose, from pizza, pasta to platter and many types of alcohol.

Chillax with a lovely view at Alter Ego! Perfect for gatherings or a meal out with the family. With a wide range of varieties on the menu, definitely something for everyone! The 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝗼 & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 are my favourite! The salmon and ingredients in the poke bowl were very fresh. Must try for those who love sashimi! 👍🏼
Chanced upon this cafe when we walked arounf Esplanade area and we decided to go in and try. We ordered a few dishes for the 4 of us and the portion is really a lot. We love the taste of each of the dish and their dessert. This is a good place to chill with family and friends, highly recommend.
The service is excellent. We are being served by Anna. She is very professional, friendly and helpful.
We order the Mix Grill (Seafood + Meat) and it is among the best that we have eaten. The brownie was creatively served with a candle as Anna knew that we went to Alter Ego to celebrate a birthday.
We have a very pleasant and wonderful time at Alter Ego. Creating Memories.
Alter Ego is a gastrobar situated in Esplanade Drive facing the Marina Bay offering a wide array of food menu and full fledged bar. Food ranges from healthy Poke Bowls, to pastas and local bar delights. The place transforms into a chic bar during the night, making this the perfect place to wind down after a long day at work!
I had the:
> Caesar Salad
> Shrimp Gambas
> Mexicano Taco Fries
> Bacon Pizza
> Summer Sake Sangria
> Original Poke Shaker
> Umami Omega
Special shoutout to the poke bowls which was yummy and best of all, guilt free, which makes me feel slightly better when I'm feasting on the fries and pizza on the side 😂 I had the Original Poke and Umami Omega and tbh, the only difference here is the salmon, with the carbs base and rest of the ingredient being pretty much the same.
The Shrimp Gambas was pretty decent as well, with the prawns saute in buttery garlic and onions, served with salsa for a tangy contrast. Best part was that you can easily pull apart the prawns from its shell using cutleries so the dining experience pretty much remains fuss free!
The sangria here are really sweet and we’ve got to request for more ice to dilute it. That said, it was still a really good drink and the jug makes it perfect for sharing with the group!
Good food, good service, good mood!☺️
Special mention goes to their Mix Grilled Seafood & Meat Platter, which features Marinated Grilled Salmon Fillet, Fish Fillet, Green Mussels, Chicken Fillet, Lamb Cutlets & Beef Steak! Taste so good when dipped into their sauces.
So glad that the food didn’t disappoint…😬
