Update 19 Jan 2025: Bing Tang Tang Shui has closed.

Fancied visiting your parents’ office when you were a child? Here’s one office you’ll be glad to visit over and over, whether you’re an adolescent or a working adult. 

Bing Tang Tang Shui 冰糖糖水办公室 – which stands for Rock Sugar Office in Chinese, is a fully-themed cafe that styles itself as an office from the 80s, from its traditional desserts, all-out decor, and even a neat little backstory of fictional characters. 

The story goes that Boss Kok Wah, the head of a sugar distribution company, dreamt up a dessert haven using his company’s products. The rest is history.

PÖONSTI @ Owen Road, Farrer Park – Handmade Rosti Available Exclusively for Brunch at Old Hen Kitchen

Leave a comment

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.

NOWAFTER Cafe @ Design Orchard, Orchard Road – Another Minimalist, Korean-Inspired Cafe Opens in Orchard Road

Leave a comment

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.
