This bakery sells mainly biscotti but they also distribute this interesting cold brew, available in white or black. It has a super nutty flavour and fragrance. Abit too milky. But still tasty. They also have blue tea and basil and mint tea but they taste a bit weird.

Somehow the coldness of the beverage allowed the little nuances of flavour in the coffee to shine, without being masked by the creamy-ness of the milk. A wonderful harmony of flavours

Not usually a fan of green tea desserts, but this elegant confection comprising layers of delicate matcha mousse and coffee buttercream separated by thin strips of coffee-infused sponge, was quite delightful in a Japanese yuan yang sort of way. Also liked the tumble of matcha crumble packed on top, which added a firmer element to the otherwise dreamily soft cake.

Really tasty and cheap coconut ice cream costing $3 for one scoop and $4 for double scoop at lvl 1. Each comes with a free cup of coconut water. Can choose up to 4 toppings. My recommendation is the gula melaka syrup and peanuts combo. It's the best!!!😍

Tangy curd and sweet, fluffy meringue cupped in a crisp, thin tart shell. Love that yellow sunshine colour.

Loving Carpenter & Cook's new cafe, which offers a compact menu of savoury items, including sandwiches, pastas and pizzas; their best-selling tarts, cakes and pastries, displayed at the counter, are also available.

The crabmeat fettucine comes in a big heap, a thick, robust pink sauce – that's more tomato-ish than cream – clinging to every ribbon of pasta. It's not mindblowing, but it's rich and hearty and hits the spot nevertheless.

My croissant comes piled with arugula, smoked salmon and oh-so-moist, creamy, scrambled eggs – there's even a dollop of caviar to add a pop of saltiness. It's a weekend brunch special that you should certainly not miss, especially when it's priced so affordably at a mere $12.

I super duper love curry rice, so I was mad stoked when @ccher told me there's a Hainanese chicken rice and curry rice shop just minutes away from our office. The eatery is located further from the heart of Raffles Place, which is a great boon because it wasn't that crowded even during the peak lunch hour.

I opted for the Set A, which is so affordably-priced at just $4, complete with crispy slices of fried pork, a fried egg and soft wads of cabbage. The Hainanese curry itself wasn't the thickest I've had, but it's scrumptious nonetheless and I've no complaints about it. NOMS.

If you love mochi, this is a MUST-TRY. A twist on the traditional Japanese pancake, this rendition is made with rice flour so it's sticky and slightly gummy, but done so delicately and thinly that it's soft enough to pull apart easily and has a dreamy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. I also love that the lush strawberry cream cheese filling features in generous swirls throughout the fish's body. Well worth $3!

This is something new to try ! If you can't take chilli you can go for Stringray with butter garlic.
