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

12-inch Pizzas & Records

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
