Stressed urbanites can definitely relate to the name of this one month old cafe. After all, who wouldn’t like to trade their mundane 9 to 5 routine for an afternoon in this quaint Telok Ayer space, surrounded by food and coffee?

Flatlays. They’re all the rage on Instagram, whether you’re showing off your latest fashion haul or a #blessed weekend brunch with your BFFs.
Of course, it’s not enough to nail that killer arrangement of whatever you’re trying to show off; a good backdrop can make or break your #flatlay, too.

(You can take your food off the floor now.)

[CLOSED] Enbu 炎舞 @ Eat@7, Suntec City – Singapore’s First Warayaki and Charcoal Grill Izakaya (Sugar)
Update June 2020: Enbu has closed.
The hardest thing about leaving Japan at the end of my holidays there is saying goodbye to her rich food culture – there’s something about its freshness and keen attention to detail that can only be replicated by authentic Japanese chefs or the most well trained in Singapore.
Thanks to ANA – yes, that same Japanese airline that brought us the iconic Stars Wars themed aeroplane late this year – shoppers at Suntec City get to sample 7 popular Japanese concepts at the aptly named Eat@7, located on Suntec City’s top level. One of them being Enbu, Singapore’s first warayaki and charcoal grill izakaya.
Food here is cooked using the traditional method of warayaki – straw roasted cooking, which explains the smokiness and oh-so flavourful morsels!
Brawn and Brains @ Guillemard Road – Simple Savouries and Bakes Next to a Rockclimbing Gym
We’ve seen a number of bustling cafes and bakeries expand to better accommodate their customers; Brawn and Brains is one of them.
Tucked away in the Old Singapore Badminton Hall on Guillemard Road, the cafe has seen a healthy number of crowds especially on the weekends, when regulars of the rockclimbing gym next door drop by for a well deserved treat. And of course, those who come to enjoy fresh brews and an afternoon in this well-lit space – yay for light hungry Instagrammers like myself!
Symmetry @ Jalan Kubor – A Taste of the Good Life with Instagram Worthy Dishes (Invite)
Situated between Bugis and Lavender MRT, Symmetry is one of those long-running players in Singapore’s cafe scene, having been around for close to five years. The cafe is open seven days a week, with different operating hours on certain days to cater to the brunch crowd at different times of the week.
With a relocation in the works for a friend of mine, a farewell get-together for foodies and Instagrammers was in order, and what better place to celebrate Singapore’s cafe culture than a late brunch-cum-dinner preview on Symmetry’s alfresco area?
Golden Samurai Burger @ McDonald’s (OMY Blog Club)
Unless you’re living under a rock, you would have known that McDonald’s has released a new rendition of their Samurai Burger – the Golden Samurai Burger which boasts a mouth-watering chicken or beef patty dipped in teriyaki sauce, layered with lettuce and a grilled pineapple ring between oat bran buns.

[CLOSED] Joie by DOZO @ Orchard Central – Vegetarian Fine Dining in the Heart of Town (Invite)
Update 20 Jan 2025: Joie by DOZO has closed.
When you think vegetarian, you think healthy salads and (at times) bland smoothies; the world of fine dining hardly ever comes to mind. Well, here to prove us wrong is Joie by DOZO, a fine dining concept that aims to re-define vegetarianism to experimental, yet refined heights.
Situated on the top level of Orchard Central, Joie is somewhat like a modern day oasis, offering a panoramic view of Orchard Road from its undisturbed premises. Its name takes inspiration from the French phrase, joie de vire, which translates to “exuberant enjoyment of life”. Judging by the evening’s offerings, it’s not hard to see why.
