Beyond The Dough, the latest addition to Singapore’s bustling food scene, is making waves with its unique take on Tokyo Neapolitan pizza. Conceived by master pizzaiolo Eddie Murakami and F&B visionary Shinji Yokota, this cozy spot on Arab Street goes beyond being just another pizzeria. Boasting a minimalist interior with a seating capacity of 28, Beyond The Dough lets its pizzas take center stage.

Their mission is clear: to deliver pizzas that embody the “purest of flavors” using high-quality ingredients and meticulous cooking techniques. The pizzas feature flour from Japan, water filtered through a proprietary Japanese filter, and Okinawa salt, among other carefully selected ingredients.
We started with an Assortment of 3 Appetisers, a delightful selection that changes daily based on the freshness. It’s a great way to start if you’re dining out in a group, offering a refreshing introduction to the meal.
Next, we had the standout Homemade Lasagna—umami, juicy, and bursting with flavor. However, be sure to order early, as this treat is limited to one order per person and tends to sell out quickly.
Moving on to the pizzas that I tried:
Margherita (tomato sauce, basil and cheese) -A classic favorite featuring tomato sauce, basil, and cheese. The cheese pull and crisp pizza crust provided a delightful experience.
Singapore Rampage — brings the best of hot and spicy with a gravy made from over 100 prawns, cooked over 20 hours and fragranced with chilli, garlic and basil. A must-try for those seeking a fusion of local flavors and a touch of heat.
Diavola (tomato sauce, basil, salsiccia, olive, cheese and chilli)– Tomato sauce, basil, salsiccia, olive, cheese, and chili come together for a crowd-pleasing combination of ingredients and cheesy goodness.
5 Formaggi- Crafted with five premium cheeses, including mascarpone, smoked cheese, blue cheese, pecorino, and parmigiana. A heaven for cheese lovers, accentuated by a surprising drizzle of thick honey on warm cheese and a crisp pizza base. My top favourite of the night!

Follow me on Facebook and Instagram for insta updatesThe Silken Tofu with Pumpkin and Crabmeat ( S$18.90++), featuring sweet golden pumpkin from Taiwan. This dish provides a lighter option, though a bit more crabmeat would have enhanced the dish.
The Crispy Eggs with Black Sesame Oil (S$16.90++), a Taiwanese household favorite, featured four fried sunny-side-ups cooked in a sweet-savory sauce with Taiwan-imported black sesame oil. Delightful combination of runny yolks and crispy sides in a sweet-savory sauce, though some might find the price a bit steep.
Another noteworthy dish is Ah Ma’s Rice Vermicelli and Taro Soup (S$19.90++/ S$32.90++ ). This dish features fine rice vermicelli from Xin Zhu, immersed in a flavorful pork bone broth. The soup is complemented by sliced pork belly, lala, shiitake mushrooms, and sweet taro chunks. To my delight, the rice noodles maintained a pleasing firmness despite being immersed in the piping-hot soup – a welcome surprise for someone who dislikes soggy noodles. The full-bodied broth struck a perfect balance, not overly salty, allowing me to savor every bit of it with a satisfying slurp.
The restaurant’s ambiance accommodates up to 120 diners, with open and spacious seating, including private dining rooms for more intimate gatherings. While the middle seats lack some intimacy, the booth seats on the side provide a cozier atmosphere. Located conveniently at Leisure Park Kallang, a short walk from Stadium MRT Station, Song Yue Taiwan Cuisine offers a homely and well-executed dining experience with reasonable prices – making it a worthy choice for a family meal.
