A more uncommon side as compared to the usual french fries or sweet potato fries, these polenta fries consisted of deep fried strips of boiled cornmeal loaves that were coated in breadcrumbs. The inside of the polenta fries tasted similar to chunky mashed potatoes, but had a coarser grind and was more gritty. A sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top added more flavour, as did the tangy tomato salsa the polenta fries were served with.
Who knew that smoked duck and lychee would be an even better sweet-savoury combination than ham and pineapple? The folks at Whisk & Paddle did! The saltiness of the smoked duck went wonderfully with the sweet pieces of lychee on a soft thin-crust pizza. The pizza was topped with little bits of mango salsa that was sweet and provided a little kick of spice. The pizza itself is pretty big too, and good for sharing.
Whisk & Paddle is known for their waffles, and for good reason. This waffle was soft and fluffy and had just a hint of sweetness.
This is a unique take on chicken and waffles as there is no maple syrup in the dish, but instead the waffle is served alongside nanban sauce and egg tartar (think atas creamy egg mayo). There were five boneless chicken chunks on top which were tender with just a slight crispy skin. Overall, the different components of the dish complemented one another and made for a satisfying meal.
Consisting of 4 layers of moist chocolate cake and chocolate ganache, the cake was sweet but not overwhelmingly so. True to its name, the cake was served warm and definitely fudgey - although I personally feel that the cake could use just a little bit more of that delicious chocolate ganache.
My heart still belongs to PS Cafe’s Double Blackout Chocolate Cake, but this is a solid alternative that is worth a try.
@whiskandpaddlesg is a little idyllic riverside cafe along Punggol Waterway. @jooeunchung and I love how their alfresco veranda overlooks the "river" and greenery. It does however always seem to rain cats and dogs whenever we visit 😂😂😂
I usually have their breakfast pan which gives you a little bit of everything --- 2 eggs cooked in your style, a smoked pork sausage, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, corn on the cob, green salad, sourdough bread and sea salt butter. The food is decent and satisfying.
Sambal seafood on a pizza may sound weird but it somehow works. We love the fiery spicy punch of the homemade nonya sambal on the thin crust pizza and it surprisingly works well with cheese.

An excellent chill spot to find serenity in the nature! I love that there’s an outdoor seating facing the river and it’s pretty quiet around here.
Came here for brunch and I must say they have a good selection of menu, though it’s mostly western food! I had mushroom aglio olio and I thought it was a tad bland 🧐 other than that, their French toasts dipped in maple syrup was pretty solid and my friend liked the waffles — crispy on the outside and airy on the inside.
I’d say the food here is pretty mediocre but I’d love a tranquil escape from the bustling city crowd to brunch here anytime!
