Cafes Wishlist II -- Savoury💕

Travelled to the northern end for these double satisfying soups.
The colour of the seafood soup showed how rich and flavourful it was. And every bit of seafood in it was really fresh. Loved that they had minced meat that absorbed all the goodness of the seafood.
The original Hong Ji BKT was also located in the same coffeeshop. And it was still the best compared its branches in central SG. The soup here was cloudier and definitely stronger in its herbal taste.
The distance travelled was definitely worthwhile for double the treat from these. A must-try for all soup-lovers. #burpple #burpplesg #foodgasm #foodpornsg #sgfood #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgfoodporn #sgmakandiary #foodpics #foodlover #foodstagram #foodstagram #foodie #instafood_sg #instagramsg #instasg #whati8today #nomnomnom #instafoodsg #eatoutsg #foodforfoodies #NomNomSG #sgmakandiary #sgeats #sgfoodlover #sgigfoodies #instafood_sg #stfoodtrending

This humble coffeeshop tucked away in Bedok North doesn't get much attention, but it should. There’s ample space to accommodate a large group of friends, it’s air-conditioned and nothing on the menu is over $19 — perfect for that big bunch of friends you've been wanting to meet for ages. What you must order is the Confit De Canard ($12.90) — a slow roasted, well-marinated duck leg cooked in duck fat, topped with mashed potatoes, leek and cranberry sauce. The meat is tender and the duck skin is crispy — what more can you ask for? Share a Waffles ($4) with Ice Cream (from $3.80 for one scoop) for a sweet finish and wash it all down with a cup of coffee (from $1.50).

These curious little pot stickers deffo caught our attention! 😍 Crisp on the bottom and juicy throughout, it was super addictive with their vinegar and delish chilli paste. 🌶

Their Chinese Pizza 🍕 ($11) was also a pleaser but the I'll probably give the rest of their dishes like their XLB a miss next time.

Office workers in Bugis looking for a new dining option will want to note this down. The second outlet of the famed Lucky Plaza Yong Tau Foo is tucked away on the second floor of Bugis Cube, and sports a shorter queue (for now). It's well known for its incredibly low prices and unique Yong Tau Foo ingredients like Korean mushrooms and fried meatballs. While many Burpplers love having their YTF dry, allow yourself some indulgence and go for the Curry Laksa. According to Burpple Tastemaker Jean Kao, it's less lemak than laksa and has a tinge of hae bi hiam flavour in it. When picking out Yong Tau Foo ($0.60 per piece, minimum eight pieces), don't miss out on the delightfully juicy Korean mushrooms. Everyone, including Tastemaker Jean, insists on having at least one of it in their meal because "they become so plump after soaking, so biting into them is a delight". Be sure to add a spoonful of their homemade belachan chilli and fried shallots for a spicy kick!

By the good folks behind Standing Sushi Bar and Tanuki Raw comes this Donburi-focused stall. Located in 100AM, Salmon Samurai serves a great Salmon Bowl ($9.90) with fresh salmon brought in on a daily basis and only prepared a la order. There are four ways to have your salmon — raw, poke, grilled or mentaiyaki (our Burpple Community's favourite). The latter sees smoky yet creamy mentai sauce flamed to perfection — just like the stellar scallop mentaiyaki available at Standing Sushi Bar. Choose to have your salmon over a bed of udon, brown rice or salad and ask to top up with half an Avocado ($1.50), Onsen Egg ($1) or Ebiko ($1) if you want more flavour, although the bowl is satisfying enough on its own. Pro tip: Complete your donburi with a side of Salmon Miso Soup ($2) — Burpple Tastemaker Justin Teo praises it for being great value, considering it comes chock full of soft salmon chunks and mushrooms.

The good folks of Group Therapy now provide sanity and comfort in the East, with their second outlet located in the basement of Katong V. This spacious retreat feels rather different from their first at Duxton, but the food is quite the same. Enjoy a good cup of coffee and their go-to Eggs Ben if you're lazy to travel all the way to Duxton on the weekend! Photo by Veronica Phua

I'm a breakfast type of guy. Don't get me wrong. I just enjoy eating French Toast, and Breakfast is my kind of thing.

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. Pick a nice cider from their wide selection to go with your wings, and kick back for a relaxing weekend. Photo by gninethree G93
