This spacious (60 indoor seats) and well-maintained cafe in Sunny Heights is one of our top picks. The decor is minimalistic, which ensures good space for dogs to roam, and the charm lies in its dog-centric details like filtered tap water at the sink, baby-proofed sharp edges and fenced outdoor space that gives pooches plenty of freedom to wander without owners fearing they would slip out. Sunny Heights offers free parking, plus the place is part of a complex that includes a doggy pool and pet groomer, which justifies the drive out to this part of Bukit Timah. While pets roam and play, humans can feast on real, good food (all free from MSG) like Salmon Teriyaki Rice ($19.80) and Duck Pasta ($17.80). Pro tip: The cafe only allows pet food from nearby Bossipaws. It also gets crowded on weekends, so make reservations.
Avg Price: $20 per person

You can choose up to two flavours to please the crowd, and I would highly recommend their Pancetta. The combination of cured bacon, oozy sunny side up and sliced tomatoes can never go wrong! The chilli crab will satiate those who are into local flavours with its sweet tomato sauce and bold herbal taste thanks to the coriander.
My favourite thing about this place is that all mains come with a soup and a glass of ice lemon tea! Most of the pastas are priced at $8.50 (for the whole set) so I found it really affordable. I heard that the carbonara was their specialty but I’ve always been one to prefer Al Funghi over Carbonara so I chose that instead. Overall it was pretty good even though I wasn’t expecting them to use what I thought was canned mushrooms in a dish where the mushroom should be the star BUT for the price paid, I think it’s not too bad. The cream wasn’t too thick which I enjoyed even though I know some people prefer it creamier. The duck pizza was also really really flavourful!
A good option for cleaner eating. I like having a combination of some veges and something warm and crunchy like the soft-shell crab tempura, plus the spicy mayo to give it some kick. Go for the mega-san ($9.90) if you're hungry.
Taiwanese food stalls seem to be aplenty at food centers and coffee shops of the late; this is from San Lor Bak Png, a new stall at Blk 63 Geylang Bahru, Food Cheery coffeeshop run by the folks behind Chop Chop Western Grill that is located in the same coffeeshop.
Pretty much of an affordable eat; $3.80 for a portion that is pretty substantial. The braised pork here uses parts from the belly; the braising here is a little bit on the lighter side without becoming overly savoury, with the flavours of the spices used coming through after a few more spoonfuls. Pork was more on the lean side; gives the dish more bite in general while the pickled cucumbers help to cut through the meatiness overall. Rice was well-drenched in the light braised sauce, while the mushroom adds a hint of earthiness for some contrast. Not too much of a fan of the stone-cold braised egg that is left by the side, pre-prepared however. Overall, a pretty decent bowl of Braised Pork Rice at an affordable price in the area that should satisfy cravings for those living in the area.
A good bowl of beef noodles with all your favourite beef parts. $9, a bit expensive for a food court but if you've got the craving, you gotta have it!
Never fails to satisfy!
The texture of the mee pok is pretty good, would eat again.
A little on the pricey side for something so simple, but it's simplicity is what makes it great. Freshly grilled beef with cheese on a bun, then add your own vegetables. At $11 the more premium "natural" beef is a couple bucks more, but it's worth it because imo the regular one isn't anything special.
Nice place to hang out in a nice n quiet neighborhood... tried the truffle fries - came in a nice tray... on top with cheese n seaweed... yummy I must say! Other than that, ordered other dishes - mushroom alio olio pasta, big breakfast, chicken chop... let's go again one day for brunches!
