Tucked in the corner of a coffee shop along Thomson Road, Sin Ming Roti Prata has generated quite a following for their house-made dough and freshly made pratas. While this means you have to wait for your prata, it's well worth it considering you will be getting a hot, fluffy stack. Try their coin pratas for really crispy, fun bites at 6 pieces for $3.50!

It doesn't matter if you've chosen Al-Azhar and have stuck to it loyally for your entire lifetime - if you want a darn good cheese mushroom prata, put your loyalty aside and march over to Al-Ameen for this gorgeous creation. With a generous and even spread of cheese throughout the prata, you're ensured oozing glory. This has got to be one of the best supper snacks! Photo by Jayne Tan
Located in the private estates of Bowmount Gardens along Frankel Ave of Siglap is Coast and Company, the cafe wing of Coast Cycles. Bright and minimalist interior gives a clean and welcoming feel. Affiliated with Papa Pahelta, it offers various types of coffee from espresso-based to brewed coffee, as well as juices, teas and alcohol. The food menu consists of a limited selection of fusion dishes, all of which are designed with the help of local chef Willin Low of Wild Rocket. Looking for the aftermeal dessert? Choose from the muffins and croissants available or just head on to Flor Patisserie or Classic Cakes few units down.
Light, fluffy and airy waffles with a crispy exterior and a bread-like taste as they used yeast in their recipe for that fluffiness. Cheesecake gelato was slightly jelak to finish for one, but dab it on the waffle with each slice cut and it becomes a luxurious dessert to have.
First day of opening, and we couldn't wait to be the first customers! ;) Happy to have a neat little cafe so near home. Lovely decor, but very limited items on the menu for now, shall check back again soon.
And All Things Delicious is Tolido's Espresso Nook's newest neighbour, which offers a wide variety for halal-certified bakes such as Gula-Melaka Scones, Brownies and Galettes. The baker insists on using unprocessed ingredients such as unsalted butter organic ingredients so as to make their bakes taste more "natural" and it shows; clean yet flavourful treats indeed. They also share their shop space with Fictive Fingers that does pretty decent handprinted textile designs, if anyone is interested.
Peloton, retailing triathlon gear, has been opened about 2 months. But their Coffee & Juice Bar has just started operations this weekend. Stopped by for a coffee today and they make it look like they've been serving up smooth coffees for years. Cyclists are more than welcome to stop by and even refill your water bottles! #CoffeeAndCravings
Tired of the same old Pasar Malam Ramly burgers? Why not shake things up by checking out the newly opened Sedap Giler for affordable burgers? Go for their Hansem Burger, served with a side of nachos and cheese (or choose cookies instead), and their Satay In A Cup.
You're going to want to head here before word gets out. As if Creamier's waffles and ice cream weren't picturesque enough, the folks behind Sunday Folks have outdone themselves. They're still serving their signature flavours such as earl grey lavender and roasted pistachio, but - wait for it - as a soft serve in handmade cones. Customize your cones with various toppings like matcha nama chocolate, gula melaka mochi and fresh fruit. Or have your soft serve atop their famous waffles if you like. This space is much roomier, but it won't take long before a queue forms.
You'll never be bored at this newly opened, super quirky space. Extremely well decorated by owners Don and Selena, the walls are lined up with lots of interesting vintage art and pieces. Chill out with a good cup of coffee and desserts like yogurt cheese pudding and nonya coconut kueh.
Burpplers love the larger, relaxed sister space of Lola's Cafe at Pasir Panjang! Go for the popular honey paprika wings and a simple brunch.
If you enjoy simple dates where you can just kick back and relax with your favorite person over a heart meal, Kombi Rocks is a great choice. Enjoy a sunset date with a Root Beer Float and share a Kombi-nation platter. Sounds good!
