I didn't find the green tea flavour in the cake to be particularly strong. Nevertheless, it was still good especially with that fresh cream core, and accompanying red bean paste topped with sweet light cream.

Sweet and savory all in one, the Smoked Turkey Swiss Pizza is something different from what I usually had. Topped with smoked turkey ham, Swiss cheese, red onions, wild rocket and blueberry jam on their crispy crust, I feel that the blueberry jam goes pretty well with it but some may find the combination slightly odd. That aside, there's free truffle fries with every order of pizza on Tuesday!

It's no surprise Ronin serves the best coffee in town, along with sister cafes The Plain and The Bravery. Boasting an ambience of of dark mystery, this is a place for quiet time alone, or a relaxing brunch with your best friend. Go for the French toast, and if you're up for something new, try the Wicked - a genius concoction of mint, chocolate and coffee that comforts your insides like no other. Photo by Alain Foodology

A calming environment with the perfect mix of vintage and industrial, Lola's is a great spot for a casual brunch. Their honey paprika wings are a hit, along with their trusty eggs ben.

This is my go-to place for my waffles and magic fix.

Mandarin Gallery welcomes a new addition to their brood of elegant and swanky tenants with the launch of The Providore's flagship cafe. Breakfast stops at 12pm on weekdays but extends till 3pm on weekends and showcases artisan breads freshly baked from BAO Bakery and free range eggs. While prices may come across as a little steep, you are getting quality produce in every dish on the menu, and the added convenience of dining in the heart of Orchard Road.

While quickly becoming a coffee institution, CSHH still manages to be a cosy space. The gorgeously modified industrial-chic interior of this old hardwarestore provides the perfect setting for enjoying a good cup of coffee. If you'refeeling adventurous, give their galvanized ale a try- literally coffee beer. It's strangely good!

Caramelized bananas and pancakes, you can't go wrong with this combination. I love how the pancakes are soft and tasty, not to mention it comes with quite a generous portion of bananas too. Do be prepared to queue on weekends though. But it's worth the wait as they serve decent food that are reasonably priced.
