Rosti seems to be growing in popularity in Singapore, with numerous cafes and even hawkers offering this Swiss staple. Yet, it’s pretty uncommon to find places serving rosti exclusively, considering how quickly food trends come and go.
PÖONSTI is a new rosti concept currently operating out of Old Hen Kitchen in Farrer Park, serving various takes on it exclusively during brunch. Coincidentally, the cafe is also home to artisanal pizza joint, Chooby Pizza come evening.
Crawford Lane has no shortage of cozy cafes and eateries, making it one of the go-to neighbourhoods in Lavender for a casual, cafe-hopping experience. Adding to this enclave is Simple Cafe, an unpretentious joint with homely vibes.
Formerly located at West Coast Drive, Simple Cafe has earned a reputation as a Taiwanese-style cafe. Stepping in, you feel like you are about to play a calefare in a Mandpop music video with the warm lights and soft Mandopop beats playing in the background.
Until today, I still can’t quite wrap my head around what makes a cafe Korean-inspired. Is it the distinctly minimalist interior or a menu that bears a striking resemblance to one of the many scattered across Seoul?
With that said, it’s time to strike another Korean-inspired cafe off the list with today’s visit to NOWAFTER Cafe, a new joint that opened on the third level of Design Orchard this month.
Update 19 Jan 2025: Le Matin Patisserie has closed. Follow their Instagram for their upcoming popups.
As a food blogger, there’s nothing I love more than seeing places I’ve reviewed grow and become more and more successful. From baked boxes to order during the 2020 Circuit Breaker to its experimental kitchen in a far-flung estate and finally, a sophisticated new home in ION Orchard, Le Matin Patisserie has certainly come a long way.
Do you recall when waffle and dessert cafes were all the rage in HDB estates? It’s time to take it back to basics with a visit to Rise, a not-so-hidden dessert joint in Potong Pasir that’s selling fresh waffles, gelato, and artisanal cakes.
It’s refreshing to venture out of town and explore heartland cafes for a change. Sin & Savage Bakehouse is a little over a year old, having been opened by the team behind Mixsense Private Dining. Located at Stirling Road in Queenstown, Sin & Savage aspires to serve elevated comfort food inspired by the owners’ love of classic flavours.
Update 19 Jan 2025: 46 Mittsu has moved to North Canal Road and re-branded to Go Rogue
I have a love-hate relationship with sandos. On one hand, they’re crazy delicious and stuffed to the brim with flavourful ingredients. On the other hand, I’ve never had a sando eating experience that did not end in a handful of ingredients spilling from two slices of bread gallantly holding it all together.
And yet, like after every messy break in between a tumultuous, yet addictive relationship, I find myself going back for more. Today’s trip against better judgement is to 46 Mittsu, a sando kiosk tucked away in Everton Park.
