8 Most Unique Coffees in Singapore

Come October 1st, it’ll be International Coffee Day, the day where all coffee aficionados unite in celebrating the gorgeous creation that is coffee! We commemorate this day in honour of all the hard work that has been put in to produce every cuppa – from the farms to your local coffeehouse, and into your hands.

This year, as a tribute to all the men & women in the coffee chain, we have gathered a list of the most uniquely flavoured coffees in Singapore, and where you can find them! Don’t forget to share this article with your coffee-lovin’ friend or S/O, and make a date to have a sip!

 

1. Oriole Coffee + Bar

Situated in front of the bustling town crowd near Somerset, Oriole Coffee serves up a mean cup of coffee, especially when it comes to their robust hand-pours such as the Taisho White. The Taisho range is served in cute glass bottles and features their famous cold brew made using coffee beans that have been roasted locally.

The Taisho White is a cold brew that has been enriched with a shot of Oriole’s specialty M.A.D milk made using macadamias, almonds, and dates. The end result? A brew that’s crisp and creamy, with a light hint of sweetness sans dairy – suitable for our lactose intolerant and vegan friends!

Similar to the stunning interior and exquisite offerings, Mitzo puts a spin on the Spiral Flaky Mooncakes. The buttery, flaky crust falls apart as you bite into the smooth yam paste and the savoury salted egg core. At Mitzo, they upped the ante with added crushed pistachio nuts for that extra satisfying crunch! The golden yellow-against-black design of the mooncakes resemble the full moon against the dark night sky – we can’t think of a better mooncake that fits the occasion!

Fuel up at one of these 7 restaurants near enough to beat the F1 crowd

We get it. It’s that time of the year where it feels like a mini nation or two descends upon the Marina Bay area — the F1 Grand Prix. Whether you’re there for Martin Garrix or Lewis Hamilton, we’ve highlighted a few Chope restaurants that you can book so you can beat the crowds and get your grub.

1. Salted and Hung

unspecified-4.jpeg

Nearest MRT: Esplanade

What better way to pregame the F1 with this contemporary Australian restaurant’s boozy brunch extended to 6pm on 15 and 16 September! For $58++, eat charcuterie, smoked halibut, yogurt et cetera to your heart’s content. Another $35++ nets you wine, beer, and cocktails. Don’t forget to taste some of chef Drew Nocente’s housemade salami, salsicca, lardo and coppa — his skill in traditional curing methods show, and you’ll be heading back for more, F1 or not.

2. Folklore

unspecified-5.jpeg

Nearest MRT: Nicoll Highway

This Peranakan restaurant at one of Singapore’s newest hotels gets the cuisine right. We love the fish head curry, chap chye, and the buah keluak fried rice especially. They cook the food with love (read: a little on the slow side), but we believe that the F1 is as good as any other opportunity to make a meal out of it. Our tip: have an early dinner, fill yourselves up and saunter over to the circuit in time to catch your favourite racer take his place on the podium.

Find it at 700 Beach Road, Level 2, Destination Singapore Beach Road, Singapore 199598

3. Paulaner Brauhaus Millenia Walk

unspecified-6.jpeg

Nearest MRT: Promenade

If you don’t want anything too stuffy — whether you mean straight-laced or a lack of ventilation — Paulaner Brauhaus is perfect. This three-storey microbrewery is 100 percent casual, offering authentic German beer (the bronze boiler that sits at the centre of the bar is a must-see) that is particularly refreshing on a hot day. Can’t go wrong with the food either. We’re fans of the Beef Beer Goulash and the Pork Escalope. This place is also good for big groups, capable of seating up to 250 people in total — great if you are heading to the race with your entire department.

4. KURO Izakaya

unspecified-7.jpeg

Nearest MRT: Promenade

This contemporary izakaya stands out in greying Suntec City, not just because of its warm decor but also for its welcoming yakitori scents. Start off with an ice cold beer (or an orange calpis, if alcohol is not your thing) then better order away because the menu is long and you have cars to get back to. We’d recommend a few sticks of Grilled Kushiyaki, like Pork Belly or Tsukune (chicken meatball), and other comfort food like Curry Croquettes and Tonkotsu Udon. This laid-back restaurant is a good place to get your F1 vibe going.

Find it at 3 Temasek Boulevard, #01-604/605, Suntec City Tower 3, Singapore 038983

5. Qi – House of Sichuan Singapore   

unspecified-8.jpeg

Nearest MRT: Bayfront

The newest branch of the eponymous Michelin starred restaurant in Macau is right here in Singapore. If you need to turn up the heat (in air-conditioned comfort, of course), head over to the Marina Bay Link Mall and fire away with the Chili Oil Wontons, Bang Bang Chicken, Angus Beef Short Ribs with Mala Sauce and so on. Qi opens till 10pm, so you can keep this as a late night option, too.

6. Caffe Fernet

unspecified-9.jpeg

Nearest MRT: Raffles Place

This gorgeous restaurant in the historic Customs House opens up to a view of the Singapore River — a perfect setting to catch glimpses of cars accelerating down our cityscape. Drinks here are particularly ‘grammable, and you can’t go wrong since it is by the same folks behind cocktail hot spots like Jigger & Pony and Gibson. Feeling peckish? Caffe Fernet puts its own spin on traditional Italian food, and serves up a delightful charred octopus with fried chickeas, as well as simple cacio e pepe that hits the spot. There’s plenty of finger food too, like tomato poppers or olives, if you need a breather from the race.

7. PS Cafe Raffles City

unspecified-10.jpg

Nearest MRT: City Hall

This household staple might be a common sight along the Orchard Road stretch, but here at its Raffles City branch, the high ceiling, greenhouse-esque shell in which the cafe sits may be a good place to get away from the crowds and revving engines. Dig into comforting soul foods like its Truffle Shoestring Fries, indulge in a juicy burger or Tiger Beer-Battered Fish and Chips, then wind down with a Sticky Date Steamed Pudding. Satiated? It’s time to make your way back to the circuit then.

Fiery delights at Qi – House of Sichuan & Forbidden Duck’s familiar favourites at Marina Bay Financial Centre

Despite being an office and residential hub, Marina Bay Financial Centre is also home to many reputable restaurants. This week, we take you through highlights of Chinese gastronomy, starting with Sichuan hot plates and finishing off with the familiar flavours of Beijing.

 

Think You Can Handle the Heat? Head down to Qi – House of Sichuan

SG_Qi-SiChuan_Interior 4
As a Michelin star awardee in the Michelin guide Hong Kong Macau, Qi – House of Sichuan offers a spectrum of flavours to tease your taste buds. This casual-chic restaurant exudes a laid-back ambience that lets its dishes do the talking.

 

IMG_20180719_190754
Start easy with the Bang Bang Wantons, where juicy parcels of meat in a silky skin are served in a smooth peanut sauce and a dash of chilli oil. The sweet and salty peanut sauce eases you into the spice while the chilli oil provides the soft hit of heat.

 

00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20180719191105047_COVER
If you’re feeling adventurous, amp up the heat factor with the Chili Fried Iberico Pork Sichuan Style. This plate of fiery indulgence is something of a staple in Sichuan, where a generous handful of dried chillies are stir-fried with the meat of your choice. The deep-fried Iberico pork is satisfyingly crispy and juicy with a healthy amount of fat to cut through the heat, giving it a rounded and more balanced flavour profile.

 

00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20180719191741394_COVER
Need a break from the heat? This Sugar Glazed Ginger and Scallion Beef is a welcoming respite. The sugar-coated Angus beef is pan-fried to give it a nice texture and a satisfying, caramelised crunch. Stir-fried with ginger to impart warmth and scallions to add a touch of sweetness, this dish is easily a family favourite!

 

SG_Qi-SiChuan_Braised Garoupa Fish Fillet in Chili Oil Soup
Upon recommendation, we end our meal with the much-raved-about Braised Grouper Fish Fillet in Chilli Oil. The sheer size of the dish may seem intimidating but believe us – it’s well worth the wait. While traditional versions of this dish are too oily, Qi tweaked theirs so that diners can enjoy the goodness of the broth sans oil. The fish fillets are mild and tender which pairs well with the bright, savoury broth.

Savour Authentic Beijing Flavours with a Twist at Forbidden Duck

Forbidden-Duck-1
Cr: Shout.sg

Across Qi – House of Sichuan sits Forbidden Duck, a modern restaurant by world-renowned ‘Demon Chef’ Alvin Leung offering contemporary Cantonese cuisine with a twist. Forbidden Duck amps up the wow factor with dishes that showcase creativity and impeccable flavours. On top of the popular dishes from its Hong Kong establishment, the Singapore outlet carries locally-inspired specials as well. 

 

SG_Forbidden Duck_Marinated Duck Tongue and Jelly Fish with Sichuan Green Sauce
Those familiar with Chef Alvin will know to expect dishes that are no less than innovative, like the Marinated Duck Tongue and Jellyfish with Sichuan Green Sauce. This chilled starter whets the appetite, with the tangy Sichuan green sauce and snappy jellyfish adding extra texture and brightness to the dish.

 

Iberico_Pork_Char_Siew_1
The exceptionally succulent Spanish Iberico Pork Char Siu comes gleaming with a layer of savoury sweet char siew sauce. The restaurant uses quality, imported Spanish Iberico that impart a mellow yet unforgettable flavour that’s pleasing and comforting at the same time. We’re not exaggerating when we say that this melt-in-your-mouth goodness will leave you craving more!

 

SG_Forbidden Duck_Slow Roasted Whole Duck
A visit to Forbidden Duck is never complete without their pièce de résistance – the Signature Slow Roasted Duck. The duck, with its crispy skin and tender meat, arrives with a basket of Calamansi mantou and condiments. The Calamansi-infused buns are a delightful touch, adding a refreshing component to this otherwise flavourful dish. You can also customise your own dish by adding scallions, salt, or garlic paste into the buns with your slices of juicy duck meat.

 

SG_Forbidden Duck_Seafood Rice in Aromatic Duck Soup
Seemingly simple, the Seafood Rice in Aromatic Duck Soup is one dish you mustn’t miss! The presentation for this is something of a spectacle too. Crispy rice is poured into a clay pot of boiling hot duck broth before your eyes, creating an exciting sizzle and aroma. Additionally, the seafood adds a sweet touch to the extremely flavourful deep duck soup.

 

SG_Forbidden Duck_Giant Egg Tart
Go big or go home, as they say; in this case, we went all the way with their Giant Egg Tart. Unlike egg tarts we’ve had anywhere else, this classic Hong Kong favourite gets an upsized makeover. A buttery crust cup encases wobbly, golden egg custard with sweet marmalade filling. With a dessert this satisfying, we can’t think of a better way to end the meal!
