Assam pork chips - imagine a world where charsiew comes as chips. Crisp, alluring, meaty and all your chip fantasies come true. The secret star of the dish is the sambal/belachan. Spicy, rich and unforgettable. It even goes with the Rosti that we ordered. Now all I need is a bag of these chips and dip my way to heaven. - #hungryhungrymonster #burpple #collectivebrewers

Assam Pork Chips (pork belly marinated for 36 hours in tamarind and fried) from Collective Brewers. Essentially the pork cube experience but with a sticky, chewy level up, with an accompanying dip which smacks your tongue over its head with a dusky, pointy sear spear and alone justifies the price of admission. 4/5

Hummingbird Cake Seems like Hummingbird Cakes are quite an easier find of the late as compared to in the past. This one tasted quite the part; a fluffy cake similar to the carrot cake with cinnamon-y flavours going on with layers of cream cheese frosting and walnuts in between; just of the right density for the cake — hidden within the layers of cream cheese includes candied lemon and pineapple chunks for a contrast of zesty flavours. Certainly works well with the Filter Coffee here!

Banana Cake Banana Cake (S$6.50) Available at @SelfishGeneCafe Mini loaf of warm banana 🍌 cake served with banana 🍌, caramel, crumble & peanut butter sauce. So soft, making me remember why I like it so long ago. | Selfish Gene Cafe Address 🏠 : 40 Craig Road, Level 1, Singapore 🇸🇬 089 678 Tel ☎️ : 6423 1324 Open 💈 : Mon : 10am - 3pm Wed - Fri : 10am - 5pm Sat - Sun : 9.30am - 5pm MRT 🚇 : Tanjong Pagar (EW15)

Chai Tea Latte A good book and yummy chai tea latte - I'm real picky with Chai Tea and this one is decent! Definitely ordering again next time I'm in the area. The cafe's a good place to read a book earlier in the morning and then gets bustling around noon, makes for great brunch atmosphere with friends then!

Breakfast Plate With an add-on of crisp hash hashbrowns! As good as when we last visited a good 3 years ago, standards remain consistent! Love the sautéed mushrooms and creamy scrambled eggs!

1 for 1 BIG BREKKIE ✨1 for 1 all-in-one brekkie at @onemancoffee ☕️ using @burpple ‼️ … One of the most worth it deals I got with @burpple thus far. Really appreciate the good service and consistent serving size according to their usual (the portions are sizeable! 👍), nicely sautéed mushroom, fatty artisanal chorizo sausage and fav tater tots 💖

Overall good experience. Value for money, not bad but sausage and bacon were a little salty. $33 for 2 breakfast sets + 2 coffees.

Gashouse Eggs | $13 Finally had the chance to hit up One Man Coffee after being greeted by long snaking queues during their brunch time. Got lucky and managed to snag a seat for breakfast. Opted for the gashouse eggs as I was not feeling hungry enough for the bigger plates. Absolutely loved how they made it, cheesy on the top yet oozy sunny side up egg in the middle. I’m personally not a fan of sourdough bread that’s too tough, but this crusty rendition had a great chewy texture to it. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Rose Latte Iced $7 Value for money for $7. Rose flavored latte. Right taste, right quantity. Decor and ambience of this place is just wow. Little hard to find near tanglin, but totally worth the visit. 5 stars

Avocado Toast with egg $13 Brilliant is the word. Ample avocado, enough egg. Perfect for a grand breakfast. Complete value for money Beautiful decor and amazing staff. 5 stars

Good Place! Repeat customers of the cafe, pictured is the big breakfast and lychee tea both of which were satisfactory and delicious!

Crabmeat Linguine Located along the riverside of the idyllic Sungei Serangoon, Whisk & Paddle is one of our favourite spot for a nice relaxed afternoon. The only problem is that we ain't the only ones as there is often a long wait for a table and an even longer wait for food 😭😭😭. It used to get unbearably hot in the al fresco areaa during the afternoon but thank goodness they have extended the air conditioning to most parts of the cafe. One of favourite dishes here is the crabmeat linguine which features al dente linguine with a generous portion of crabmeat in a spicy tomato sauce topped with Italian parsley. We love the combination of the sweet yet slightly briny crabmeat with the tangy tomato sauce. The only problem is that you might end up reaching for the iced water if you bite on a chilli padi or two!

Flat White And while the 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 ($5.50) was smooth, we felt it was lacking in robustness. However, extra points for the two gem biscuits that came with it, evoking fond childhood memories.

Butter Croissant w Scrambled Eggs You can't really go wrong with the 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗴𝗴𝘀 ($14.80). The crispy, flakey croissant was paired with a creamy scramble and a choice of either candied bacon or creamy dill mushrooms (we chose the former). The sweet-savoury bacon stole our hearts and we couldn't fault this dish.

Brunch, anyone? Love how balance this plate is! The egg is creamy and the bacon gives that crispy texture and savoury coat. #igotfoodcoma #burpple

Geisha (half-portion $14.90 nett) 🍕 ⭐️ 4.5/5 ⭐️ 🍴A unique and delicious Japanese-Western fusion pizza comprising Norwegian smoked salmon, burnt (more like charred) broccoli, bonito & mentaiko mayo spread. Fans of #mentaiko like me would love the harmonious pairing of the sauce with the salmon and bonito. The pizza crust was neither too thin or thick, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. $14.90 for half a pizza is a bit pricey but it was filling & deserves a try for the novelty of flavors ⚠️ The cafe is certified #halal #halalfoodsg 📍@hydeandco, 785 North Bridge Road, S198753 (near Bugis MRT)

Kaya French Toast Waited 45 mins for this; off-peak, barely a few tables occupied. Very 'eggy' bread (the ones we whip up for a last min breakfast) , sour kaya ganache that not only has a weird colour, but taste and texture, desiccated coconut that's reminiscent of phoon huat packaged ones. The saving grace was the ice cream and that splash of Gula Melaka. Not too sweet but the elements just do not blend well. I had to pair everything with the ice cream to get some sense of what the dish was dreaming to be like. $15.90. I'll rather go for the real deal that's one decimal place behind.
