Cafés

There's a new minimalist confectionary from Denmark opening on the first floor of Isetan Scotts! Remember those Danish butter cookies in blue tins? The småkager we know and love are back in a selection of eight core flavours ($2.80 each), with flavours such as Raspberry with raspberry icing and jam, and the Lemon with white chocolate coating. Joining them are a small selection of small bakes. Burppler Gary Lim says "you won't go wrong with the Lemon & Sea Buckthorn Tart ($7) with its buttery shortcrust and citrus tang or Almond ($7) cake clad in blackcurrant curd ruby chocolate pearls."

This humble coffeeshop tucked away in Bedok North doesn't get much attention, but it should. There’s ample space to accommodate a large group of friends, it’s air-conditioned and nothing on the menu is over $19 — perfect for that big bunch of friends you've been wanting to meet for ages. What you must order is the Confit De Canard ($12.90) — a slow roasted, well-marinated duck leg cooked in duck fat, topped with mashed potatoes, leek and cranberry sauce. The meat is tender and the duck skin is crispy — what more can you ask for? Share a Waffles ($4) with Ice Cream (from $3.80 for one scoop) for a sweet finish and wash it all down with a cup of coffee (from $1.50).
Avg Price: $15 per person

This is one joyful brunch plate that easily pleases the eyes, tastebuds and pocket! 😄
Let me break it down for you. What you get is a VERY thick and fluffy brioche topped with sliced tomatoes and melted cheese. The crispy bacon I picked (you can opt for smoked salmon if preferred) is heaped on top of it. Alongside those are a wobbly slow-cooked egg, chargrilled sweet corn and a Japanese-influenced salad of mixed leaves, tiny cubes of apples and sesame seeds. As I am mad for avocado, I got it as an add-on for $3 more.
In contrast to their popular "Molten Eggs", this dish incorporates the element of subtle sweetness which is marvelously refreshing. I find the combination of flavours here totally spot-on 😋😋 .
