Must Try

Best shared with a friend as the cheese may get too heavy after awhile. Also, in that way you still have space for their Earl Grey Lavender Croissant ($3.50) - personally my basic and constant order at @brawn_and_brains. Perfected with a cuppa of choice (both house blend and single origin are pretty good).

2.5 munchies: I love my scrambled eggs and chillies, but not when they marry together. The chilli scrambled eggs with fresh crab topping was one-dimensional and lacked sweetness; all I could taste was only the mediocre spices from the red cut chillies. The crispy creamy corn potato cakes may have stolen the show for me, but unfortunately, this dish wasn't about the croquettes.

This was a hosted meal by The Tuckshop.

This is the best matcha cream puff I've had by far. Matcha filling was at its best; flowy, oozy, but yet not to the point of dilution -- also not too sweet like most matcha items that have the strong white chocolate taste (that I dislike); retained a strong enough taste of green tea, and most importantly went well with the choux pastry that was light and had the right amount of fluffiness. Might be small for $3.50 but was well worth the price (& calories)

There's no need to travel to Hong Kong to try Honolulu Cafe's famed egg tarts or pineapple buns (otherwise known as polo buns). Honolulu Cafe has officially opened its first Singapore outlet in Centrepoint. Come with your family members for an early yum cha session before spending the rest of the day shopping in town. The Honolulu Egg Tarts ($1.70 each) are a must order — buttery, flaky pastry encasing a lightly sweetened custard, alongside the Honolulu Pineapple Bun ($1.50), extra $0.50 for butter — totally worth the calories. Wash it all down with their Iced Yuan Yang ($3.50). There are also more substantial noodles and rice dishes available too. Pro tip: Head down early to secure your egg tarts — supply is limited and they run out very quickly!
Avg price: $5 per person

The competition at Horne Road may be stiff, especially with the likes of The Bravery and Windowsill Pies all situated at the same stretch. You probably can tell from their name that they serve pretty decent cakes and pastries, such as their light Strawberry Shortcake and their beautiful Eclairs, but they also serve pretty honest and huge all-day breakfast as well. The owners are very on-the-ball, and willing to start a conversation and gather some feedback on the food, which shows their sincerity in serving customers the very best. A new spot that you should consider visiting around Jalan Besar.

Gone were the days of the famous Longhouse food centre at Upper Thomson Road. Some of the hawker stalls are found here at a coffee shop in Jalan Besar. The western food stall still serve a good plate of grills at affordable prices.

The famous boneless braised duck from Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House in South Buona Vista Road was relocated to Sam Leong Road last August 2013. What used to be famous cannot relive it's glory now as the owners have changed hands. The taste hasn't changed much but I still prefer the former. The stall is located at Kim San Leng Eating House, 16 Sam Leong Road. It opens early from 9am and closes when sold out. If you missed their braised duck rice, you should really check them out soon.

Guess everyone has heard about He Zhong at Bukit Timah Food Centre by now. Crisp yet moist egg with soft carrot cake cubes; no wonder it is such a hit with the diners here!

Here is their Imakatsu Pork Katsu. We had the chicken and their premium pork loin and the premium pork loin is my favourite!

Espresso frozen into ice cubes & diluted with cold milk. Perfect for hot days! Kudos to the person who thought of freezing espresso into ice cubes. Coffee's still strong even after the espresso cubes melted which is good cos no one likes diluted coffee.

There's nothing quite like the perfect crispy crackling to set off the succulent meat, but the pork belly was a little too gelatinous. Overall, still a good dish.

a twin and their younger brother. yes old hen coffee, opening it's doors to the public yesterday. located around farrer park mrt, this tiny upstart serves up coffee which imo is rather good. food offerings though are rather limited. a place to check out if ur around de area. good luck boys!
