While it might not look attractive due to the colour of the dish but one mouth and you'll be "caught". Even before the dish is served, we can caught a whiff of the strong truffle and it doesn't disappoint as each mouthful was just so. Consisting of three types of shrooms: Shiitake, White button mushroom and fried enoki, its also vegan friendly.

You no longer have to travel all the way to Thailand to get your dose of coconut ice cream served in a husk. The people over at newly opened Pong can help you with just that. Get their bestseller - coconut gelato and sorbet in a flesh-filled coconut husk and served with a cup of coconut juice. Their coconut gelato is dairy-free and their sorbets made from fresh fruits complement the gelato well. A perfect pick-me-up on a warm day!

Newly opened in Bedok North Ave 2 is ice cream bar, Fatcat. Offering 18 ice cream flavours made from scratch daily, expect to find fresh and exciting flavours like passionfruit sorbet and butter beer, which can come served atop a salted egg charcoal waffle. Besides just dishing out scoops of ice cream, they serve a range of beautifully plated desserts and drinks. A must try is their incredibly refreshing lime mojito sphere, which bursts into an explosion of zesty flavour. For an ice cream bar, what is offered is truly unique, and Fatcat really does set itself apart from all other ice cream parlours out there.

If you're bored of the usual brunch items that most cafes serve, then you should totally try the food at The Laneway Market. Joining several new cafes along the Tanjong Katong Road stretch, The Laneway Market offers unusual options such as Nacho Chicken and French Toast layered with Bacon and Baked Beans. For mains, try their Pulled Pork Burger and Gambas (soba topped with roasted sesame infused minced prawn). We hear they have a second storey currently in the works!

Located opposite Eunos MRT Station, this new cafe offers a cosy and comfortable space for your coffee needs. The furniture, cake display and checkered tiles evoke memories of old-fashioned local coffeeshops, adding to the cafe's charm. Aside from their coffee -- currently a house blend of Ethiopian and Columbian coffee, but with single origin to be supplied at a later date -- Jasmine Green Tea Honey, Orange Poppy, and Oreo Cream Cheese flavoured cakes are also available.

To celebrate the new year (even if you're not Chinese), have a Chicken Bak Kwa sandwich in this friendly, whimsical cafe in Little India. The old school, playful vibe is bound to put you in a good mood!

Always hesistant to queue at CMCR on weekends? Well, you might want to take a chance and hope the queues are shorter during this festive period. Go for their Turkish Breakfast, or their Croissant Croque Monsiuer, or the Braised Ox Cheeks Eggs Ben (yes it's hard to decide)!

Naanwiches are FIX's specialties, and they offer a variety of four with various fusion flavours and even one vegetarian option too! Safest bet would be the Chicken Tikka, soft Naan bread encasing well-marinated Chicken Tikka pieces with a mildly spicy sauce that fires up the dish with each bite. Crunchy cucumbers and red/green peppers add to the refreshing taste, as well as making it taste more authentic as well. Served with Nacho Chips on the side; corn chips with a rather thick cheese sauce and salsa atop.
