Bitters & Love is definitely one of the most interesting cocktail bars in Singapore to visit. Having to say that their cocktails price-range are pretty reasonable compared to others. Well, talking about bespoke with unique creations to satisfy our five senses, I just love the sound of the cocktail shaker and of course the sight and the taste is placed before you.
You may get to taste unique cocktails like [kaya toast]... But it may not suits everyone liking unless you die hard for kaya! Well speaking the truth, there's a mixture of rum and kaya. Just imagine the taste of that? 😏
The folks of CMCR are dead serious about their coffee. This cafe is dedicated to making top-notch coffee available to the common man, and believes that great coffee ought to be paired with amazing grub. Start the day with their Turkish Breakfast comprising a phyllo-wrapped soft-boiled egg, crispy feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and hummus served with pita bread. Their Organic Eggs Benedict is another favourite, with a twist of tender braised ox cheeks in place of ham. For a lighter option, grab their flaky Croissant Croque Monsieur which comes stuffed with provolone cheese, ham, and amazing bechamel sauce. Plus a cup of coffee, and you're good to go!
It's lack of a distinct shopfront doesn't stop the crowds from flocking to Ronin for excellent coffee and unpretentious food. Opened by the good folks behind The Plain and The Bravery, pop into this dimly-lit, no-nonsense cafe for some legit scrambled eggs on toast (add on that juicy portobello mushroom and bacon for good measure) and the well-loved Dirty Ronin sandwich. Do yourself a favour and get the decadent brioche French toast topped with braised apple, bacon, hazelnut butter and syrup -- you won't regret it. Of course, no brunch is complete without a kick of caffeine from their classic brews. If you feel like something different, go for their Matcha Latte, or cool down on a hot day with a Wicked!
Fans of the renowned global affairs and culture magazine would be delighted to know that Monocle is finally in Singapore, with a brand new Monocle Cafe and retail store set up in Holland Village. Located in the residential street of 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 area. You can even do a spot of shopping in their retail space! It's easy to miss, but for chilled-out alfresco vibes and a stellar long black, keep your eyes peeled. Might be a good idea to visit this spot while waiting for your seat at a certain popular waffle and soft serve cafe nearby ;)
If you are the one who can't miss out on hipster cafes, Craftsmen would be the place of your choice to chill especially with its industrial theme. If the orange cups look similar, that's because they are affiliated to Dutch Colony Coffee from Pasarbella. Not really a fan of their rather light-bodied coffee but it definitely has the potential of being an uprising cafe.
For the indecisive egg-lover: eggs done three-way sandwiched between mini brioche burgers. So delicious! #instagramsg #instasg #igsgfood #foodspotting #foodstamping #foodporn #burpple #sgfood #breakfast #brunch
A peek at the perfectly molten core of the soft-boiled egg. #foodporn #molten #egg #yolk #sgfood #ilovemyjob #burpple
A smaller variant of their tarts that are bite-sized. Chocolate Tart comes with a real classy golden brushing, and the thick ganache was sweet and satisfying with the cookie-like base, while the lemon curd for the Lemon Tart was tart and refreshing as well.
