If you're in the Chinatown area, pop by this new kid on the Keong Saik block at tea-time. The bakery serves European breads, local-inspired cakes and drinks, along with a good dose of nostalgia. We like how the wooden chairs and stools and vintage-esque murals bring about an old-time kopitiam feel. Try the Sor Hei ($3.20), a black and white Danish pastry that's buttery yet light, and sweetened with chocolate chips. For cakes, try the Chendol Delight ($6.50), which reimagines the local dessert into a delicious, modern slice layered with chendol custard cream, gula Jawa genoise, red beans and attap chee (palm seeds). Order the Kopi Susu ($2.80) to go with the bakes. The coffee uses beans used in local kopi but is brewed espresso style, resulting in a unique aromatic and milky brew. Pro tip: For best value, go for their recently launched All-Day Breakfast Set — $5 gets you two soft boiled eggs, a bread bun and a choice of coffee or tea.
Avg Price: $10 per person
