I'll admit, I was sold by the pretty plating. But thankfully it tasted as good as it looked. Great coffee and chill ambiance makes it all the better.

One would use the phrase "not very common" to describe the prices but it doesn't seem to deter the crowds. I preferred their poached eggs but this is a pretty interesting brunch choice, which a phyllo wrapped egg and hummus.

Scrumptious Kani, Uni, Otoro and Ikura cascading out of this maki roll. Each bite tasted of the ocean and was ah-mazing.

Nubbad coffee in this Neighbourhood joint. Beans from Nylon! The cake left me feeling rather undecided.

Beer on tap is always a great idea especially for beer aficionados. Try the Delirium Tremens, purportedly the number 1 beer on their list.

Excellent cakes in this hippie cafe along Rangoon road. The former a marriage between raspberry yogurt, earl grey and strawberry Yuzu, the latter with a filling gula melaka and coconut cleverly disguised as a kueh tutu. Kudos to the team for thinking up these babies.

This fusion restaurant serves a mix of European dishes and hotpot courses. This lunch set makes for a healthy meal for one and even comes with a step by step guide on which ingredients to cook first. The restaurant exists as a subset of Mahota commune which offers a membership.

I'll admit, I chose this because it looked like the most instagrammable dessert they had on the menu. No regrets though - the pancakes were well paired with the matcha Mont Blanc, not too overwhelming or sweet. The cafe has a lovely and rather dreamy ambience too. Perfect for lazy afternoons.

This little cafe is doing great since it opened its doors more than a year and a half ago. What keeps diners coming back is that they serve up pretty decent brunch grub at affordable prices. And those sautéed cremini mushrooms are to die for.

I used to think first time is always the charm but if anything, my second visit back was even better. The beef more tender, the noodles full of ever sought after wok hei. They do dish up some pretty fab zi char dishes too.

Char has a new home in the up and coming Jalan Besar estate. The Siew yoke was easily the star of the show, with its wonderfully crisp top, although some may complain about the large portion of fat. Skip the roast duck.
