The patties were moist, perfectly medium rare, and just lightly seasoned - good cause the melted cheddar provided so much additional flavours. Simple fare of double moo patties, double (did someone say double?!) cheese, caramelised onions and lettuce, held together between shockingly fluffy buns. So good.

Slightly under the radar for brunch is Super Loco, Lucha Loco's sister outlet. It makes perfect sense to enjoy your weekends here. Just imagine a tequila or mezcal cocktail in hand, washing down a table of Mexican food while enjoying the picturesque Roberston Quay. Start with the Esquites ($8) — grilled corn on the cob coated with mayonnaise, cotija cheese and chilli — a typical Mexican street food. The Breakfast Burrito ($18) is stuffed with steak, scrambled eggs, Mexican beans and caramelised onions, and is perfect for ravenous people. They also have tortas (Mexican sandwiches) and more common dishes like avocado toast and pancakes. Go for the guava and blood orange margarita ($16) if you can't decide on a drink!

For something a little different and for a pinch of Argentinean feel, head to boCHINche, located right above Common Man Coffee Roasters. Start off with the Provoleta ($17), a sizzling dish of salty, gooey cheese balanced out with glorious honey and topped with almonds to provide crunch. With Pan and Manceta (Peurto Rican breads, $7) to go along, this is a winning dish that should be shared. The classic pairing of Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Eggs ($24) is elevated here by dill cream cheese slathered beneath. End on a sweet note with their popular Milk Cake ($14) — made with three types of milk and also soaked in milk, it is a dessert so delicate on the palate, and pairs excellently with passionfruit sorbet.

As the name implies, this cake parlour only deals with cakes, apart from coffee and tea. While most of their cakes are derived from safer flavours, the chef here takes a different approach by adding some ingredients for a unique touch, as well as making some cakes flourless or gluten-free. Every cake is generally good, but their variation of Carrot Cake with zucchini is something really worth trying.

Soft arcs of pasta and chunky diced lobster meat swimming in a rich, slightly smoky lobster bisque, blanketed with a thick layer of gooey mozzarella. Managed to snag this $12 deal on its last day of promotion and I can safely say it's worth coming back for when it'll be on the permanent menu come Monday onwards, at $18.

The key to Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice is its special and delicious traditional stew sauce and tender boneless duck meat. Business is fairly slow at Sam Leong road, even after it was relocated more than a year ago.

This meal alone cost me $7.30, I would recommend you to order the duck rice and sides on the same plate, instead of ordering a "set" like this, which will cost you more just by separating the add-ons.

There are two kinds of people in life: those who like their hokkien mee wet, and those who prefer it dry. But Nam Sing may just please both crowds. Each spoonful brims with the aromatic, umami-rich prawn seafood stock that has been patiently fried with the noodles. Served simply with cut red chili, soy sauce, squeeze the lime all over to brighten up this dish, and slurp up this perfectly moist plate of noodles. Give them a ring before you go down, or count on your luck for them to be open, as they close the stall as they wish.
