YOLO offers 4 different goal-oriented menus, each with 3-4 dishes catering to diets ranging from gluten-free to high protein, tagged with calorie count estimates. Cookies, brownies and muesli bars are also available as the occasional indulgence for cheat days. The pickiest of eaters should be able to choose something to their liking.
If you're not a regular "clean food" consumer, you might need to psych yourself up for the fare here. This Kale Pesto Pasta is green in all aspects (I trust you to search the health benefits of kale and broccoli for personal knowledge). I do not like broccoli, but the pesto taste made it bearable to chew 😅 The walnuts were a nice addition for crunch and nuttiness to the surprisingly tasty dish. However, I'm not too sure if I'll be willing to fork out $13.90+ for this in place of salads that are half the price and twice the size.
The biggest nose-wrinkler about this place is the plastic ware: food is served in plastic containers and utensils for dine-in customers. I highly doubt these are reused, or maybe there's a small likelihood they get recycled. This lack of eco-friendliness somehow contradicts their motto (from my personal and perhaps biased interpretation).
Essentially two soft-boiled eggs enveloped in more melted cheese than you might find on a pizza, and baked to a slight crisp on the outside. The end result? A parcel of gooey deliciousness, that pleases both your tummy & your Instagram feed. What's also noteworthy is the attention paid to garnishing. The smoked salmon came sprinkled with sesame seeds, the greens with grated cheese, while the avocado and eggs heated things up with a dash of chilli flakes - lending unique flavour twists to otherwise common ingredients. Further, pegged at only $12.90 (add $2.50 for smoked salmon), this is a brunch that won't break the bank. That said, the cheese can get a little heavy for those who aren't cheese lovers, so perhaps sharing this dish would be best! Be sure to grab some coffee while you're there as well - the iced white ($5) is a solid antidote to the Singaporean heat, that retains its prominent coffee flavours even as the ice melts. Free browsing copies of Kinfolk and Leica Photography International also ensure that you're all set for a long, lazy afternoon at this cafe spot.
Popular London burger restaurant MEATliquor makes its international debut in Singapore at Duxton Hill, bringing over some serious gritty swag with their hipster maritime-themed decor and vibrant graffiti. Apart from their selection of gourmet burgers, also expect chicken wings and cocktails. If you're looking for a place to let loose with friends and have a sinfully greasy night out, MEATliquor certainly fits the bill. Go for their signature Dead Hippie burger ($22) which features two French mustard-fried beef patties topped with their signature "dead hippie" sauce, or the cheesy and spicy Dirty Chicken Burger ($16). Have the Sambal Fries ($10) on the side and wash that all down with an Oolong Floater ($22) — mango and oolong soda with Pampero rum.

ninjas eat good food!!!!!! if this homey new cafe is any indication 😉 the yasai bowl ($16) with added quinoa ($3) was pretty generous and satisfying--loved the marinade of the salmon sashimi, it paired beautifully with the onsen egg and tangy cherry tomatoes! texture of the dish was really good, i especially liked the contrast of the succulent salmon chunks to the quinoa grains, mixed with the runny onsen egg. my friend had the noka bowl ($14), featuring 24-hour braised beef cheek! last shout-out goes to the coffee here, which is excellent!! it had a pleasantly sweet after-note that was so addictive :-) will be back for their brunch offerings!
what a down-to-earth establishment! menu was simple and featured a variety of eggs done poached or scrambled in various fashions, accompanied by fresh-baked bread of your choosing. the farmer's ($14) came with sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomato and asparagus. the norwegian ($14) came with smoked salmon and fresh greens. poached eggs and hollandaise sauce were decent, especially given the price! bread was deliciously nutty and chewy :-))
The ramen was... VERY TRUFFLY. I cannot. 😍 And for someone who doesn't like edamame, I thought @kanshokuramen did a good job with the truffle seasoning, probably puts all the other truffle fries we've had to shame (says @chewypompipi), I couldn't stop munching on those edamame!

had bingsu as supper last night at Bingki! another bingsu place which is open 24/7! we tried the Oreo Bingsu ($14) and the Green Tea Bingsu ($14). first thing that would catch anyone's eye would be the cute presentation of the bingsus! these were not so heavy as compared to other bingsus, and it was great way to finish off a meal. there wasn't any condensed milk too, which made me feel better because it seemed more healthy hehe 😉 a little expensive for its small portion though.
tanuki raw bar & our perennial favourite chirashi don is back!!! bara chirashi don ($17.80) is still as flavourful, lots of fresh seafood and pearly seasoned sushi rice!! the WHAM! fries ($14) sound divine too--sweet potato fries with the works, including salted duck egg sauce & charred marshmallow!!! additions also include the kaisen chirashi don ($24.90), supposedly a new-&-upgraded version of the regular chirashi don?
very affordable build-your-own-bowl ($13.80): 1 base + 1 hot protein + 3 sides + 2 toppings + 1 dressing. add $3.50 for premium options like grilled sea bass or grilled salmon, which was pretty good!! sides included roasted sweet potato, my fave 😊 other lunch options like pita pockets ($10) available too!
creamy mushroom on sourdough ($12) with added scrambled eggs ($3)--great move because the scrambled eggs were excellent! possibly the best i've had in a cafe. highly recommended dish! candied bacon buttermilk waffle ($14) came with fluffy waffles, topped with vanilla bean ice-cream & sweet charred bacon. generous portions all-around. mocha ($5) was alright.
gorgeous store concept & really fun system of choosing ingredients!! the build-your-own-bowl ($16) = 1 grain + 1 protein + 1 hot veg + 2 cold veg + 1 sauce + 1 topping. the seared marinated tuna was especially outstanding, so flavourful and tender! beetroot yogurt sauce was a pretty pink and pretty tasty too. all-in-all, a satisfying and feel-good lunch :-)
