Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Happy National Day! 🇸🇬 What’s your favourite local inspired food amongst these treats to celebrate our nation’s 57th birthday?

Only available this August, the coconut pandan gula melaka cream puff by @baristartcoffee_sg is one not to be missed! Made using their signature premium Hokkaido BIEI jersey milk, you’d find the local flavours-inspired custard smooth, light and slightly milky. Featuring a pandan and coconut infused custard, coupled with a Gula Melaka filling, all encased in a uniquely crispy Choux topped with desiccated coconut. The luscious, oozy custard all revealed upon the first cut, exuding hints of earthiness symbolic of ondeh ondeh without being cloyingly sweet. Recommended for sharing.

Yentafo Noodles - Thai yongtaufoo. You get to choose whether you want soup (only if you like sweet) or dry, and your type of noodles. Not my style.
Moo ping - a tad too sweet and needs more char. Otherwise decent.
Deep fried pork with garlic - pork itself not seasoned with garlic but comes with fried garlic bits. Good with beer.
Pad Thai - too wet for my liking but tastes good
Mango salad - yes please! The mango had some sweetness. Not overly spicy but tasted fresh and definitely better than most places .
Claypot prawn glass noodles - off-menu and a special. Special, it was.

Pasta rebus is 5.70+ (pleasant, though tweaked) on national day for the first 57 orders. I was the 17th order at 1.30 pm so there should be ample for you if the other cafe queue is unbearable. Almond croissant (4.7+) was good but I haven't had many others. Chicken burger is fine, eggs royale and latte (very foamy!) slightly better, asparagus mushroom pasta unspectacular. Only four tables inside, but there's fans al fresco. Would come back for weekday sets. Only gst charged, consider tipping.

Highly recommend their Carrot Cake fries 🥕 and Ebiko Prawn Linguine 🦐✨the carrot cake is hawker snack inspired served with spicy creamy sambal Mayo 🌶💯 And pickled radish‼️ it’s like a deconstructed classic carrot cake 👍
…
The Ebiko prawn linguine is intensely rich in unami prawn flavor and thick cream coating ✨ love the generous bits of ebiko in every bite 🤤

Nice chunks of century egg that hasn’t melted into the congee… love it for a morning brunch!

Hongkong Steamed Rice Rolls with Fried Fritters is really the best! I could eat them all in a sitting without a blink! Crunchy inside, soft outside! Perfect.

Beef was juicy and slightly chewy but i would prefer the chirashi don. Chirashi don's ingredients all complement with each other very well. However, nothing too special about it. Slightly overpriced overall
