Update June 2020: Montana has closed.
Montana sure has come a long way from its humble beginnings some five years ago. From a humble waffle bar, tucked away in PoMo, this stalwart in Singapore’s waffle scene, has since grown into a two-storey hideout for brunch lovers in the heart of Selegie.
Looking at the recent additions to their menu, it’s not hard to see why Montana is what it is today!
Remember a time when waffles dominated Singapore’s cafe scene and our Instagram feeds? The once trending food fad may have cooled a little over the years, but that hasn’t stopped newcomers like Wakey Wakey from giving them a go.
Any avid cafe hopper worth his or her salt will tell you Bali is the destination for your coffee and brunch fix in Southeast Asia. And having embarked on my first trip ever last month, I can see why!
Tucked away from the bustling Seminyak area, NOOK offers visitors a much needed slice of tranquility, with its laid back vibes, whitewashed interior, and sprawling views of a neighbouring rice paddy field and nary a high rise building in sight (a rare sight for a Singaporean).
When you think of German food, hearty platters, braised meats, and tangy sauerkraut come to mind. This year, Brotzeit puts a healthy spin on their menu, with 24 new dishes, including the all-new Brotzeit FIT which features 7 salad recipes (5 of them new).
Update 19 Jan 2025: Saveur has closed.
It’s difficult to find French food that is both affordable and palatable, especially in the pricier downtown areas. Yet somehow, Saveur at The Cathay has managed to nail these two qualities in its menu throughout the years.
Many have patronised Shokotsu Ten, with its bevy of Japanese F&B concepts since its opening at NEX, but how many have heard of RE&S, the regional food company behind it?
For its 30th anniversary, RE&S has launched a Mentaiko Madness menu at 4 of its restaurants: Ichiban Sushi, Men-ichi Japanese Restaurant, Kabe no Ana, and Tokyo Eater Pop-Up Store. Lovers of this spicy cod roe, can savour a whopping 21 umami packed dishes ranging from ramen to mochi pizza.
So, how much mentaiko can YOU handle?
The North East zone has been fairly neglected in terms of must-visit cafes and food joints – until The Midtown’s opening in early 2017. Since then, a fair number of F&B joints have opened, giving Hougang more food options beyond the usual hawker fare.
Here are just some places worth checking out at this up and coming spot!
