2 Comments on 9 Eateries in Serangoon Gardens Perfect for Any Occasion

When in doubt, go to Serangoon Gardens. Whether you’re with a huge, boisterous group or looking for a quiet weekend brunch, there’s probably a restaurant here that fits the bill. Home to the famous Chomp Chomp and a growing number of delicious, affordable restaurants, this quiet neighbourhood hangout is now a foodie heaven. With options suitable for family days, large gatherings, cafe treats, supper, and sweets, Serangoon Gardens truly is the perfect choice for any occasion.

Family Friendly

Sun Ray Cafe

Cr: vanillapup.com

The perfect picture of a neighbourhood cafe, Sun Ray Cafe is quaint and understated. However, what the cafe lacks in fancy interior design it more than makes up for in substance. It may not look it, but behind the unassuming facade, you can find premium hand-brewed, hand-roasted coffees, meticulously-brewed teas, and even homemade bread and spreads. Each bite and sip is dripping with love and care to give you warm and fuzzy feelings all morning long.

Besides being a great place for true connoisseurs of coffee and tea, Sun Ray Cafe is also a great go-to for furkids and pet parents to spend some quality time together. There’s even a section of their menu dedicated to foods safe for your furry friends so they can enjoy a meal with you for once.

Find it at 79 Brighton Crescent, Singapore 559218.
Click here for more information on Sun Ray Cafe.

Hanwoori Korean Restaurant

Cr: sgcafehopping.com

If you want to know what it feels like to be a Korean child returning home for dinner, just have a meal at Hanwoori Korean Restaurant. Its bouncy and ebullient owner is the quintessential ahjumma, chatting with diners and making everyone feel at home.

Homestyle Korean comfort foods reign supreme at this bustling family restaurant, with favourites like Korean pancakes, spicy tofu stew, and kimchi hotpot. While everything here tastes amazing, the soups and stews steal the show with their homemade broths, which are made from scratch every morning. And let’s not forget the generous servings of free side dishes!

Find it at 76 Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555972.
Click here for more information on Hanwoori Korean Restaurant.

Large groups

Steam Box

Cr: sgfoodonfoot.com

If there’s one type of food made for sharing with the gang, it’s steamboat. And unlike the traditional steamboat we know and love with its oily soup and overcooked ingredients, Steambox makes sure you can stick to your diet plans as well. That’s because, as the name suggests, you steam your food rather than boil it, so all the food retains all its delicious flavours and nutrients

Of course, the best part of any steamboat is the broth at the end – where’s that amazing broth? It’s in the congee they prepare at the start of the meal. All the drippings from the steaming rack above it go down into the rice. You can imagine how delicious the porridge must be once you’re done with all that seafood, meats, and veggies.

Find it at 68 Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555962.
Click here for more information on Steam Box.

Hipster Cafe Food

Arbite

Cr: jacqsowhat.com

Local or Western breakfast? Sometimes, it’s impossible to decide. At Arbite, you can get the best of both worlds on one delicious plate. With a touch of creativity and lots of spices, Arbite gives typical Western cafe items a Singaporean upgrade. The result is an indulgent meal that’s as heartwarming as a classic brunch, punctuated with all the punchy local flavours we all adore.

Apart from the usual fries with tom yum or salted egg dip (calm yourself, they have that too), more adventurous dishes include a Beef Rendang Mac & Cheese, the Arbite Breakfast featuring kaya toast and pandan-infused Ngoh Hiang, and Breaded Mushrooms that come with curry and lime mayo. Essentially, they combine everyone’s favourite comfort foods from the two cuisines – in other words, the perfect start to the weekend.

Find it at 66 A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555962.
Click here for more information on Arbite.

Artease

Cr: artease.sg

If you need a break from the daily grind, Artease is a sanctuary that would be perfect for you. They specialise in teas and grilled cheese, which is probably the most calming and comforting combo we know. Tea and grilled cheese sound simple, but they’ve come up with so many variations that these two timeless classics become exciting and new.

As if grilled cheese wasn’t already good enough, Artease also has options for different fillings – including a very tempting Extra Cheesy, as well as Chicken, Tuna, and Pesto. As for teas, they’ve got an absolutely delicious Salted Caramel Milk Tea – touted by fans as the best they’ve ever tasted.

Find it at 3 Phillip Street, #01-01, Singapore 048693.
Click here for more information on Artease.

Supper

Plonk on Maju

Get wine, cocktails, and fantastic food without the hefty price tag and uppity fuss. Plonk, aptly named after the Australian slang for affordable wine, is a friendly and casual spot that’s open from morning until past midnight, making it perfect for anything from breakfast to late night suppers. It’s also great for an impromptu drink, so you and your pals can grab some tipples and not worry about the dress code and the cost.

Have a full-bodied Argentinian Malbec, or be a little whimsical and try their Serangoon Sling. As for food, they’ve got an extensive menu of Mediterranean-inspired bites to go with their equally impressive alcohol selection. We especially love their creamy, tangy, and savoury Seared Halloumi, and the rich and piquant Dukkah Spiced Beer Battered Barramundi. For sharing, the pizzas range from classics like Margherita to curious dishes you can’t help but want to try, like Kalamata Olives & Irish Goat Cheese.

Find it at 7 Maju Avenue, Serangoon Gardens Estate, Singapore 556685.

Chomp Chomp Food Centre

Cr: singaporebestfoods.com

What’s Serangoon Gardens without Chomp Chomp? It’s the obvious choice for those craving some good old hawker fare like satay, carrot cake, and barbecued seafood. Affordable hawker centre prices don’t hurt either, making it great for supper on a budget.

Everyone familiar with Chomp Chomp will already have a favourite stall, but if you don’t frequent the north, here are some things you could start off with. Get your barbecue fix with a healthy serving of satay from Hong Sha Li Satay, chicken wings from Chong Pang Chicken Wings, and seafood from Hai Wei Yuan BBQ. Wash all that down with an impressively tall sugar cane tower from Ding Hao that just begs a spot on your Instagram.

Find it at 20 Kensington Park Rd, Singapore 557269.

Sweets

Little Wimbly Lu

Cr: republicanpost.sg

A homey, albeit small offshoot of the beloved Wimbly Lu at Jalan Riang, Little Wimbly Lu is an easy go-to when your sweet cravings hit. The charming cafe offers a huge array of sweets, more than enough to make sure you’ll leave with your sweet tooth satisfied.

Their signature ice cream and waffles features rich ice cream on a bed of fluffy, crisp waffles – a staple that definitely won’t disappoint. You’ll find a selection of cakes, tarts, and other sweet treats too! If you need something more substantial, they’ve also got a savoury menu, comprising cafe staples like baked rice, pasta, and fries that everyone will love.

Find it at 1 Maju Ave, #01-09/10 myVillage, Singapore 556679.
Click here for more information on Little Wimbly Lu.

Dessert Bowl

Cr: eatbook.sg

Is your sweet tooth crying for Asian dessert instead? Then Dessert Bowl is the place for you – especially if you love durian. You can smell the durian in the air once you walk in! After all, durian desserts are their speciality.

A must-try here is the Durian Mousse. This signature dessert is what gives Dessert Bowl a bustling full house every night. The mousse is light and fluffy, and not at all cloying despite having the distinct aroma of durian. To top it all off, a small pile of fresh durian sits on top of the mousse. It’s exactly what you need to satisfy your durian cravings, no matter what time of the year it is.

Find it at 80 Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555976.

The 8 Best Brunches in Singapore

Post author By Rachel Ho
Post date March 26, 2018
No Comments on The 8 Best Brunches in Singapore

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but we can’t all wake up at 8am on weekends, which is exactly the reason why brunches were created. Sadly, they’ve also been labelled the basic b*tch equivalent of meals, associated with overpriced eggs, funky-smelling hollandaise sauce, and annoying micro-influencers trying to get that flat-lay for their Instagram.

We shortlist our favourite brunch places that capture a range of budgets, and most importantly, the way to your stomach.

The Populus Coffee & Food Co.

This cafe makes hauling yourself to the Central Business District on a weekend worth it, with its top-notch breakfast servings and super tasty drinks. (We are partial to the Avocado Superfood Green Platter, their seasonal donburis and their made-on-the-spot smoothies.) Despite being around since late 2015, the queues still persist but the food is worth the wait. Thankfully, you can make a reservation here.

Atlas Coffeehouse

This middle-child cafe – its older and younger sisters are the now-defunct Assembly Coffee and Lunar Coffee Brewers in Shenton Way – located in Bukit Timah consistently serves great food and fantastic coffee. It’s the perfect pitstop, whether it’s after a walk through the Botanic Gardens or you need a place to wait for your kids/spouse/friend. In claustrophobic Singapore, the high ceilings provide a much-needed breather, and the staff never stop smiling despite the crowds.

A must-try: the Summer Chicken Stew, which is especially delicious on rainy days.

The Bakery by Woodlands Sourdough

Cr: yp.sg

We are reluctant to trumpet this place any more than necessary: seats are few and far between, and weekend crowds start to build up at 8.30am on the dot when it opens. But it is, arguably, the best place in Singapore to go for your sourdough fix.

We love their Sunday spin on Bialys, a Polish pastry they present with chopped onions, cheddar, and cracked eggs. Another favourite is the Rye Strawberry Balsamic Brownie, a sinful conclusion to a great breakfast. No meats served here, but that’s because these guys know that bread is their forte. Go early.

Find it at 10 Jalan Serene, #01-05 Serene Centre, Singapore 258748

Yan Ting

This place isn’t cheap – prices range from $65++ to $188++, depending on whether they are set menus and you get alcohol – but the quality is assured. After all, haven’t we all braced the queue for a dim sum place that just didn’t live up to the hype? The char siew paus here melt in your mouth and don’t forget to check what special dishes are on offer.

Manhattan

Brunching at one of the top 10 bars in the world means throwing out your arvo avo and eggs benedict cliches out of the window. Here we’re talking fresh oysters, ceviches, pastrami and cheese, foie gras. And we haven’t even started on the best part yet: free-flow cocktails, craft beers, and wine. It will certainly be several hours of indulgence. Bring your A-game!

Pacamara

Cr: Pinky Piggu

This corner-occupying joint along Upper Thomson is perfect for those looking for something a little more substantial, like a juicy duck confit hash or a richly marinated pulled pork sandwich. Seats here are spread across long tables, canteen-style, so you don’t have to wait too long to dine here. We also love their extensive drinks menu, which features over 30 craft beers, in-house roasted coffee, and enough tea flavours to find something you like.

Find it at 185 Upper Thomson Road, Singapore 574333
Click here for more info.

Fresh Fruits Lab

Cr: Eatbook.sg

Brunch here is more affordable than most, with dishes ranging from $13 to $17. It’s also got the charming, laidback vibe that permeates the East Coast, which makes you feel you can relax and savour each bite. Our favourite part about the lab, though, are their delicious, cold-pressed juices.

Find it at 351 Changi Road, Lorong Marzuki, Singapore 419818
Click here for more info.

Symmetry

We’ve been here for brunch, lunch, and dinner a few times and the guys running this place always manage to keep things fresh. Here there are starters (if you’re gunning for something new, why not try the Crab, Sweet Corn and Scallion Fritters), mains, AND desserts (we applaud the half-portion size they have for their berry-ful waffles). If that isn’t an all-rounded meal, we don’t know what is.

Singapore Snags 6 spots on World’s 50 Best Bars list

Post author By Chope
Post date October 20, 2017
1 Comment on Singapore Snags 6 spots on World’s 50 Best Bars list

Hear ye, hear ye, this year’s World’s 50 Best Bars was officially released on 5th October 2017 and, while there are the usual New York bigwigs and London suspects, Singapore proved a force to be reckoned with, with an impressive 6 spots on the list. All the better to toast ourselves with!

7th Place: Manhattan at the Regent Hotel

Manhattan_Bloody_Mary_Cart_jpg_1457457150

Ah yes, the bar we go to if we’re feeling in the mood for some Prohibition Era America (as one does). We love the regal drapes, textures of velvet and leather, and rich bronze tones, but our favourite ogling spot has got to be the staggering display of custom casks, filled with expertly reconstructed classics, in The Rickhouse.

Don’t try to finish everything on the incredibly extensive menu all at once; we recommend starting with the cocktail menu, which uses a few of the spirits anyway. It’s sorted by era (beginning with the 1520s!), so grab a group and have every person select one drink from each period to try.

If you’ve been there, you’ll know why this super swish hotel bar totally deserves its 7th place spot and, ahem, the title of Best Bar in Asia 2017.

Find it at 1 Cuscaden Road, Level 2, The Regent Singapore, A Four Seasons Hotel, Singapore 249715

15th Place: Atlas

From Atlas Bar

Looks like we’ve stumbled upon the formula for success when it comes to getting Singaporean bars on the World’s Best list – grand, historical-style decor coupled with excellent liquors. Of course, the interiors miiight need to look like it was transplanted from a time when Art Deco ruled, and the spirits miiight need to be 1,000 gins from countries near and far, stocked in a looming tower behind the bar – but if you can hack it, then we think you stand a good chance.

Pro tip: Because haters gonna hate, Atlas also stocks some pretty fabulous champagne for those who aren’t quite fans of the taste of juniper.

Find it at Parkview Square, 600 North Bridge Road, Singapore 188778

24th Place: Operation Dagger

From Operation Dagger Facebook

Remember what we just said about opulent design? Operation Dagger bucks that trend and make us eat our words. Forget in-your-face glamour, this tiny bar requires you to stretch your detective skills just to find the entrance. Spy an inconspicuous doodle on the outside, peer into the glass blocks on the ground, and bingo, you’ve cracked the case.

The underground den is lit only by a cloud of light bulbs dangling overhead, casting a burnished glow on concrete tables and open shelving packed with mysteriously labelled bottles. Great for cool, Instagram selfies, but you might need a posse of torch-shiners to get well-lit food shots.

Minimal though the look may be, the drinks themselves aren’t shy to wallop you in the face with unique pairings and strange ingredients. What exactly? You’ll have to find out for yourself. #somysterious

Find it at 7 Ann Siang Hill, #B1-01, Singapore 069791
Click here for more info on Operation Dagger

28th Place: 28 Hong Kong Street

From 28 Hong Kong Street Facebook

Back in our younger hipster days, dear reader, 28 Hong Kong Street’s nameless exterior and plain, panelled storefront made us feel like the coolest bunch around. We’re older now, and a little lousier in the sense of direction department, so it’s a good thing the bar’s name doubles up as its address, but the jazzy tunes and cosy booth seats of this 1920s American-style drinking hole still holds a special place in our hearts. We come here to snack on indulgent bar bites like mac ’n’ cheese ball and wash them down with lip-smacking iterations of alcoholic classics.

Find it at 28 Hongkong St, Singapore 059667
Click here for more info on 28 Hongkong Street

31st Place: Tippling Club

tippling

If we’re in the Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood, it’s probably to stuff our faces with fried chicken or Korean barbecue. Occasionally, however, when we feel like ending the night with drinks and people watching, we wind up at Tippling Club – outside of course, so the miasma of barbecue smells radiating from us won’t suffocate the folk within. The drinks here aren’t just about flavour, although there’s plenty of the good stuff to go around, but play a lot with aromas and scents too. If you like the fun factor, quality food, and creative drinks that evoke leather, rain, and fire, then come right on in because you’ve hit the jackpot.

Find it at 38 Tanjong Pagar Rd, Singapore 088461
Book a table at Tippling Club and earn 2X Chope-Dollars with the code TASTYBLOG

47th Place: Native

From HoneyCombers.com

And the final Singaporean spot to make a coveted appearance is newcomer Native. Sure, it only opened in 2016, but when a bar boldly claims to use foraged ingredients in their creations, wouldn’t you sit up and take notice too? The idea is to connect the drinks with our surroundings so be prepared for familiar items like coconut yoghurt and sugar cane, plus a dash of the unknown in the form of weaver ants, turmeric leaves, and more. Nope, not a typo, that’s A. N. T. S. Ants. Full disclosure, we have yet to pay a visit to this Amoy Street resident (mainly because our foodie lifestyle is strictly regulated by our budgets) but we’re already making plans to remedy that. Let us know if you guys are already fans!

Find it at 52a Amoy St, Singapore 069878
