This cosy shophouse space occupied by Sogurt along Bukit Timah Road has undergone a facelift, sporting #millenialpink walls, plush teal seats and a beautiful pastel-themed wall mural. What was once the place for students to grab frozen yogurt has rebranded to Kara Cafe & Dessert Bar, dishing out grain bowls, toasts and desserts. The space is pretty, there are large communal tables and the food is tasty — great for an intimate catch-up with a friend. You won't go wrong with the chef's recommended Pork Belly Miso ($16) that comes with a choice of Garlic Japanese Rice or Quinoa Salad (additional $3). The generous portion of fork-tender, braised pork belly slices is enough to keep us coming back for more. Otherwise, sink your teeth into toasted sandwiches like the comforting Pepperoni Pizzazz ($11.50) that comes loaded with cheese, pepperoni salami and a marinara herb sauce. For desserts, share the Skillet PB Cookie ($15) — a decadent dish featuring Salted Speculoos, one of three of the new ice cream flavours from their dessert bar, stacked atop of a huge peanut butter cookie and served with gula Melaka sauce on the side.
