Oriole Coffee Roasters

When the modern world and its hectic schedules have taken their toll, returning back to basics is not too bad after all. We are talking about kaya toasts and its counterparts. If some quiet and private moments are what you

Rumah Rasa (An Invited Session)

At a corner of the 3-month-old Bay Hotel, Rumah Rasa has been quietly spicing things up. A gradual aroma of Indonesian cuisine discreetly lures dinners from the not-too-far-away Vivocity. In your attempt to search for the hotel lobby, you may

Munch (An Invited Session)

If you step into Munch looking for variety, you could consider it done. With an extensive menu ranging from freshly-made salads to gourmet wraps to pancakes and even rosti, cubicle rats could stick to this cafe 5 times a week

All good things

There’s always room for more bakeshops in Singapore it seems, just like how there’s always room for more desserts after a square meal. The fairer sex will agree. If you have been attentive enough, you would have noticed a 3-month-old

Saveur

Saveur proves that French cuisine need not always be an extravagant event. Unknown to many, they started out as a humble kopitiam stall hidden behind plastic chairs in Ali Baba Eating House: an off-the-beaten-track location in the eastern border of

Cupcakes and tarts are a dime a dozen these days that it takes something with the X-factor to truly pique our interest. Fortuitously, Grin Affair came to the rescue with home-made mousse cakes served in über-cute mini jars.  Here’s a hip new place

With a moniker so obvious, 12-inch Pizzas & Records needs little introduction. This latest brainchild of the Timbre franchise is a quaint addition to Lavender. You know the mood is all playful and casual when the eatery is adorned with

Alkaff Mansion Cafe

Just like a pimple that pops up unknowingly overnight, the reincarnation of Alkaff Mansion has unquestionably taken everyone by surprise. Curiosity reign supreme as the once-decayed edifice had been given a million-dollar make over and is now jutting majestically upon
