CBD

I'll start with a disclaimer: I'm very subjective when it comes to SPRMRKT. Since I work around the corner, over the past few years I have developed a strong attachment to the coffee, food, staff and vibe of this locale. The design loving store-bistro concept developed by Sue Quek paired with the many fantastic combinations chef Joseph Yeo reinvents every quarter make SPRMRKT a fixture in the CBD and one of my favorite haunts.

So now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about basics: comfort food. The kind of stuff that you want after a few hours of OT, before doing more OT. I'm talking chicken, fries, buns, dressing, greens, eggs. Not the most complicated menu item, this chicken breast burger is somehow always my default choice when I don't want to think too hard. It's what my body already knows it needs when I walk through the door. The two slabs of chicken breast are coated in savory sauce, melted cheese and sautéed mushrooms, sitting on a bed of dressed lettuce and topped with a sunny side up. I invariably spread them all on the cutting board and make a platter of it, as my mouth has a size limitation well under what this burger requires.

As a side you'll get "the best fries in Singapore". SPRMRKT's paprika fries are absolutely incredible. Thin, crispy, coated in a seasoning that is pure catnip, these fries will make you want to order an extra basket just for yourself (which I sometimes shamelessly do as well).

So if you're in the CBD after dark and there a void in your stomach and in your heart, now you know the cure.
