SPRMRKT

SPR.MRKT is not an acronym, guys. It is simply the word Supermarket, less the vowels: You have to admit that it is a rather cool moniker for a cafe-cum-mini mart bistro. By juxtaposition to the adjacent mob-scene at Amoy Food

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

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

Purple Mustard

Being wrapped in bread is apparently the new black, with joints having similar concepts sprouting their roots evidently across our tiny island. The less-than-one-month-old Purple Mustard isn’t an exception, and they had decided to catch the sausage wave right here

Grin affair

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

Rider’s cafe

When it comes to inconvenience, Rider’s Cafe puts Privé Bakery to shame. Tucked away snugly at Bukit Timah Saddle Club off Eng Neo Road, one does not simply navigate here by foot. And whilst schlepping  your way to Rider’s Cafe
