The Pantry @ Shop Wonderland

Shop Wonderland is just one of the many cafes along Haji Lane but you can be assured that it's the prettiest and most unique one! When I chanced upon it about two months ago, I just stood in the cafe in amazement hahaha. But because it was a Sunday and the place was packed, I didn't get to try anything.

This time we went there on a weekday and we were the only ones around yay!

Lola's Cafe

Made it for brunch this time round at Lola's! Their brunch menu ends at 3pm and we barely made it by reaching there at 250 haha. A friday afternoon it was and the cafe was incredibly packed. We scored the last available table for a group of three outdoors and as much as it was scorching hot and I think I was sunburned in the process of dining there, we sure had an enjoyable meal!

(CLOSED) Oz Specialty Coffee

White brick walls are always effortlessly beautiful. And Oz certainly did a great job dolling up this space!

Hatter Street

This whimsical dessert cafe that goes by the name of Hatter Street strikes me first as having gotten its inspiration from Alice in Wonderland. True enough, a wonderland experience ensues right when I stepped into this bakehouse.

Stirling Highway

Taking over Haato at Ridgewood Close is Stirling Highway, a new brunch spot and cafe that's certainly worth a visit. Revamped and spanking new, this unpretentious establishment offers comforting and wholesome delights.

District 10 Bar & Restaurant

Media Invite


District 10 at UE Square has recently launched a new menu! And fans of Bonta will be glad to know that Chef Luca has brought over to District 10 some of the hot favourites from Bonta.

Bellwethers Bistro Bar

We chanced upon Bellwethers when we were on the way to Swee Choon for dinner so we decided to pop by for post-dinner drinks!

Lola's Cafe

Located conveniently near the entrance of Simon Road and just a few minutes walk from Kovan Mrt, Lola's Cafe has an eye-catching signboard that you'll not miss!

Sun Ray Cafe

"FOOD, PRETTY PLEASE???"

We brought the little one out for some playtime before his monthly grooming session. Please pardon his dirty whiskers haha they are the result of him stealing butter bread from the kitchen.

Have long been wanting to bring Waffles here but I just never got down to it. Finally got the chance to visit!

The Coffee Shot

I was assigned by X to find a place for Brunch and I chose The Coffee Shot as it was relatively near to Bugis, where we were heading to afterwards. However, this is quite possibly the worst brunch I've ever had in Singapore.

CAD Cafe

CAD Cafe is a three month old establishment on Haji Lane. CAD stands for coffee, art, and design and it doesn't take alot to understand why from the looks of the cafe and them serving coffee from Toby's Estate.

W39 Bistro & Bakery

Good news have finally arrived for the westsiders. For a long time, the only places in the west where we could get a decent brunch and a good cup of coffee are Bukit Timah and Holland Village. And one of the common complaints were that there's nothing to eat in the west. W39 has brought hope to the western part of our sunny island!

Smiths

Smiths Fish and Chips has been serving up authentic British Fish and chips for four years now and I’m sure many of you would have heard of them.

Common Man Coffee Roasters

A collaboration between 40 Hands and 5 Senses, Common Man Coffee Roasters has taken Singapore by storm since its opening at Martin Road.

(CLOSED) Craft Bakery & Cafe

Opened by the people behind 3 Inch Sin, Craft is a cafe that I've been wanting to try because I love the lava cakes from 3 Inch Sin! Taking over the space that Cold Rock used to occupy is this simple cafe that supposedly has an impressive range of desserts and coffee

Revolution Coffee

X and I used to frequent Portsdown and Wessex because we could bring the little furball there. And new to the dog-friendly Portsdown area is Revolution Coffee. And they welcome dogs too!

The Lawn @ Shenton

The Lawn has opened her second outlet at AXA Tower! The working folks in the area can now look forward to meating their greens here!

(MOVED) &Made and L'Entrecote Express

Media Invite



The popular &Made has undergone a few changes recently. The casual burger heaven has launched a spanking new menu and also partnered L'Entrecote Express to rock the dining scene in town.

(CLOSED) The Vintage Room

Media Invite



Duxton Hill is situated just a short distance away from the popular Duxton Road. Serenity and a whiff of exclusivity will greet you when you make your way to The Vintage Room, which now sits where Le Petit Cancale used to.

O'Batignolles

X and I were on the way to Club Street Social for brunch on a Saturday afternoon when we drove past O'Batignolles and I saw "Brunch from Paris". That got me excited haha. O'Batignolles is located just about 20 metres away from CSS. After looking at the menus from both places, we decided to have brunch here before heading to CSS for dessert. Parking is available right outside the restaurant.


Isn't the shop front adorable! Can't wait for our trip to Europe this May!








Hot chocolate - $6.50

The hot chocolate tasted more like a warm glass of milk with a very slight hint of chocolate. I was definitely disappointed


Eggs Benedict (with Swiss Coppa) - $13

I asked if I could change my salad to something else and the server kindly offered bacon! The hollandaise was more on the bland side but the savory parma ham made up for it. Pretty small portion though


Eggs Pacifico(with Smoked Salmon) - $13 

X thought the salad was quite good and the rest of the dish to be just average. Also, the pieces of smoked salmon were rather small.


Mini Pain Au Chocolat - $3


The pain au chocolat was crispy and fluffy but I felt it wasn't fragrant or sweet enough


Cute little bucket!

Service was good and the servers were really nice and warm. However, we had to wait for quite a long while before our food was served. The cafe is simple but cozy and it's a really nice place to relax and spend a lazy weekend afternoon just reading the papers or watching the world go by.
