Located at Konditori within the Bugis area, this place features a great selection of European-inspired artisanal pastries and bread loaves! Regarded as one of their signature bread, I went for the chocolate-flavoured semla bun - a soft bun filled with chocolatey creamy goodness!
The bun: SOOO soft and moist, it paired really well with the chocolate cream.
The cream: I thought it would be too "gelat" with the amount of cream pumped into the soft bun. On the contrary the cream was sooo good. Like the staff claimed, it tasted like a bun with ice cream. The taste of both bun and cream resembled the Gardenia cream-filled bread, but only better! Best served cold!
Cost: $7.90

My top brunch spot because the food here never disappoints - love the maple glazed bacon in the eggs ben, the wagyu minute steak in the Sunday roast was thin, tender and tasty, and the ham hock beignet is a bite sized croquette with amazing yuzu mayo. Service was good and all three dishes were served at the same time within 10min of ordering!
Nett $13. The food is pretty legit here though the portion is small. You definitely have to upsize. The chef is really friendly but the auntie very anal.
I ordered the salmon mentai sushi which tasted the same as the don. The spider maki is abit spicy with soft shelled crab.
Previously housed in The Ardennes Hotel, this Peranakan restaurant has found a new home along Tan Quee Lan Street. The walls are covered with newspaper clippings of Peranakan Flavours's famed dish — Bakwan Kepiting ($10), a minced meatball and crabmeat soup, and the space is big enough to accommodate large groups, making this place ideal for company lunches or family dinners. Swing by with your colleagues during lunch for their value-for-money sets. Prices start from $8.80 for Nonya Curry Chicken and Babi Pongtey (stewed pork with fermented soy bean), and $10.80 for dishes like Chicken Buah Keluak and Assam Pedas Fish. Each set meal comes with a choice of rice (with pickles and curry vegetables on the side), noodles or bread. The Burpple community loves the House Special Laksa Goreng ($15) — a dry version of the iconic dish that features "noodles that are coated with thick rempah that packs a spicy umami punch", according to Burppler Weekendeatwhat. Don't leave without sharing a bowl of their house made Pulot Hitam ($5); it's thick, not overly sweet and just the way we like it.
Avg Price: $15 per person

Not very convenient, and that's the charm. Friendly waitresses and a wide variety with several signatures not common in other zi char places, this is a lovely find. It really doesn't feel like Singapore. Anddddd it's located just 5 min away from my place 😂.
