Calling all westies! Assemble the squad for brunch at this quaint cafe a stone's throw from Pasir Panjang MRT. Come for their Burnt Cheesecake ($7.50) which is light and moist without being cloying at all, one piece isn't going to be enough once you get a taste of the semi-charred crust and melted cheesy goodness oozing out. If you're still hungry, get the Mexican-Korean-fusion Gochujang Chicken Thigh ($16) that is glazed in spicy Gochujang and served with sides of thick-cut fries, kimchi 'salsa' and guacamole.

Sama Sama by Tok-Tok @samasamasg brings about quite a diverse range of Indonesia’s home-style comfort food in a modern yet cosy setting.
Get the Ayam Bakar Taliwang.
Its signature marinating process is done Lombok-style where the whole chicken is spiced with freshly pounded black peppercorns and purified sea salt.
Once well-seasoned, the chicken is grilled whole until fork-tender juicy.
It is best paired with Plecing Kangkung, a steamed water spinach side dish topped with tomato chili sambal.

The bismark pizza’s my favorite although the pizzas and pasta dishes are all good! This is at least my 4th visit to Zazz! Makes a great place for casual gatherings and will definitely return for affordable Italian food.
What this pizza joint lacks in its simple decor, their mouth-watering pizzas more than makes up for. Their spacious alfresco area is perfect for chill hangs with the group. The highly-raved-about Burrata ($26) is a must-try. It's a sight to behold — a generous dollop of soft, stringy cheese atop pizza dough slathered in zesty tomato sauce and mozzarella, with a light-as-air crust. Drizzle some olive oil over for maximum pleasure. For something green, try the tasty Zazz Salad ($12) or load up on a Mixed Mushroom Pizza ($26) with the same deliciously fluffy dough.

From the folks behind The Naked Finn come a burger joint that doles out delicious buns in the West. Burppler Veronica Phua has nothing but praise for their off-the-menu “McEgg” that features a simple, crispy sunny side-up — fluffy on the outside and runny on the inside. Also a fast favourite, the Chicken Burger ($20) sees a chargrilled chicken leg, fried egg and homemade garlic yoghurt and tangy salsa sandwiched between two lightly buttered buns. And with great burgers, have a milkshake — the Madagascan Vanilla Milkshake ($7) is perfect for washing this meal down.

In the short time that it's opened, Sora Boru has already garnered a following for their Snow Beef Don ($11.90). The beef bowl reminds us of the OG Yoshinoya one, packed with a little more oomph — the tender beef slices are topped with cheesy parmesan powder. Yum! For those who prefer seafood, try their customisable ChirashiBoru (from $6.50) that measures up to the quality of the ones at sister restaurant Kogane Yama.

Adding to Suntec City's collection of eateries is this build-your-own pasta house. The concept is simple – mix and match your dish from pasta type to dressing and toppings, or pick from an ala carte menu for a fuss-free meal. Fans of heavier flavours will appreciate the Supremo Porky Marinara ($15), where spaghetti is tossed in a rich and tangy marinara sauce, pork belly slices and a giant meatball. If you're in a rush, there's a range of open-faced toasts to take away, such as the fragrant Mushroom and Black Truffle Cream ($3).

With long queue during peak hours, we avoided the crowd in between the meal times. With much anticipation, we ordered 2 sets with some top-ups to maiximise our experience.
Beneath the luscious looking omelette were flavours that fell short of expectations. The omelette didn’t stand out at all. Its problem probably started from the reddish pan-fried rice with bits of chicken that drowned the omelette of any taste.
The Demi-glacé sauce would complement the rice better than the cream sauce. Our top-up of 3-Cheese sauce (prepared in front of us) also didn’t do much to excite our palate.
We added chicken wing, fried prawn and Hamburg patty of which the last was probably the only part that stood out for us. Then again, why not just visit their Hamburg Keisuke to enjoy that?
Not sure about others but we were glad we didn’t queue for this today. For Keisuke, we would stick to some of their ramens that still remained on our list for return visits.
For a quick and satisfying lunch, make a beeline for this Halal-certified Lanzhou beef noodle house. Expect a complex and robust broth (simmered with more than 15 spices) with fresh noodles hand-pulled on the spot. Pick your noodles (ranging from thick to flat) for the flavourful Signature Beef Noodles (from $8.90). Spice fiends, the Mala Spicy Beef Noodles ($9.50) with that extra kick is made for you.

The brownie cookie ($5) has salted caramel buttercream in between and it was so salty we both couldn’t finish this. It tasted more like salty caramel instead of salted caramel 😂
Rocking an alfresco courtyard, this swanky spot is perfect for chill weekends spent with a good friend (or a book). Expect elevated brunch plates, including a deceptively simple Grilled Cheese Toast with Tomato Bacon Soup ($11). On sweets, the fluffy and fragrant Earl Grey Pancakes ($16) with cookie crumbs and poached pear is a winner. Get also the dark and roasty Flat White ($5.50), complete with nutty notes.

Quattro formaggi pizza ($23) was crisp and more-ish. Ravioli in cream sauce also delicious, gone within seconds. House pour Chardonnay matched well with the food. Service attentive and welcoming. Relaxed and unpretentious ambience. Would definitely return.
