Cafes

Brunch in the West at a place with food of East and West influence .

I won't mind returning to this place if not for the distance away from home.

Bucatini Grilled Prawns Pasta: The prawns are really huge and fresh. Pasta is fragrant with a tinge of garlic and pepper taste. I will prefer a thinner choice of pasta actually (personal preference) in order to lessen that 'alkaline' taste .

Fried Wings: The wings are pretty yummy. The batter is nice and the chicken is really tender and moist. I would have liked it more if the meat inside is more seasoned or flavored. But overall, it is still yums!

Refreshingly tart and subtle. #latergram

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.

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.

Dessert-lovers rejoice - Kki is finally open after their 8-month hiatus, and in a more convenient location to boot! Grab a cuppa to go with your stunning cake, and relax in this lovely space. Go for the Onigri, a Basil Dark Chocolate mousse cake with a Bitter Orange soft-core centre.

Fans of Monocle would be delighted to know that a brand new Monocle Cafe and retail store just set up shop in Holland Village. Located in the very residential Jalan Kelabu Asap, you can look forward to enjoying a great cuppa brewed with La Marzocco beans from New Zealand’s Allpress, and flip through copies of Monocle in their outdoor garden space. It's easy to miss, but for chill vibes and one of the best long blacks (according to Burppler Eileen Ong), it'll be beneficial to keep your eyes very peeled.
