Flat Iron ($22) vs Short Rib ($25) from Fat Belly 🤔 If you enjoy steaks as much as I do, just go for both! Flat Iron is a leaner cut while Short Rib has some beautiful fats with slight chewier texture. Both steaks are lightly seasoned to retain its natural tastes. And the brilliant touch of Himalayan pink salt and chimichurri sauce intensifies the flavours. While you do get complimentary house salad by the side, I strongly recommend the Creamed Kale ($5) which was such a delish not to be missed! 😘

The buttermilk waffles had a nice, crisp exterior yet were still very fluffy inside. I liked that it just had a hint of earl grey flavour and that it wasn’t too overpowering. The tart strawberries balanced out the sweet vanilla ice cream, and everything went well together. Pretty worth it!

The pancake is very crispy on the outside. The flavour is rich and satisfying. Do share with your friends cause one can't finish this alone definitely.

By day, this shared space along Upper Thomson Road is run by One Man Coffee, where you can have an affordable and substantial brunch with great coffee. After 5.30pm, Garçons takes over. Indoor seats are limited, so come early if you're in a big group. It makes for a great coffee pitstop too — be sure to get the Piccolo ($4) with an extra shot ($1) for an instant boost. Of all the items offered here, the clear standouts include the impressive Gashouse Egg with Bacon Jam ($12). Thick brioche with a runny egg in the middle is blanketed with melted cheese and served with a side of salty-sweet bacon jam. Be sure to have your phones nearby as you carefully slice through the centre to release a liquid gold river, you wouldn't want to miss out on all the flowy action. The Big Brekkie ($17) that comes wtih two poached eggs placed on sourdough rye, served with a side of superbly candied bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms and baby spinach is made better with the addition of a chorizo sausage. End your meal on a sweet note with the Brioche French Toast ($12, $15 with vanilla ice cream), probably one of the most pocket-friendly in Singapore with the fluffy toast dusted with icing sugar, served with caramelised bananas, strokes of French cream and lashing of rich salted caramel.

What a gem hidden at the back row of Amoy Street FC. Also known as Singapore style ramen, this bowl of noodles definitely does not feel like it should be priced at $7. In fact the ingredients used and preparation are very close to a restaurant-like ramen.

To be fair, the noodles isn't what you would expect it to be for a typical ramen, it is actually wanton mee fusion with ramen. The added char siew slices and oozing egg blur the concept of ramen and wanton noodle that we singaporeans are used to. The sauce is really on point and because of the thin noodles used, it soaks up the sauce as you toss it in the bowl.

The one I really liked the most is the potato prawn fritter. The crunchiness and the flavor that burst forth is simply amazing. My only regret is that I ate it in the middle of everything and not at the end of the meal. I would imagine saving it for the last bite would really end the meal well.
