Having been a regular at Yeast Side’s quaint hideout at King Albert Park, it was exciting to step into the spanking new Farrer Park outlet for the first time. This new space is as lively, unpretentious, and inviting — a trademark of the cafe, which also doubles as a craft beer bar.
As part of a spade of relocating cafes, affordable sandwich maestros 46 Mittsu have also recently found themselves a new home in the quaint vicinage of Everton Park.

In Singapore’s crowded speciality coffee scene, Apartment is one of the few brands that managed to build up a devout cult following for themselves.

In the same vein, I would liken One Fattened Calf Burger’s proprietors as masterful burger architects. Continue reading “One Fattened Calf Burgers”
Despite the name, you’d find that Balestier Market Collective isn’t located in the Balestier neighbourhood — or a location bearing any semblance to a market. In fact, this speciality coffee bar is actually hidden within the uppity vicinage of SAM at Tanjong Pagar.
Perhaps it’s sacrilege to say but waffles are passe and have been yesterday’s news for years. The flood of ice-cream-on-waffle parlours had long outlived their novelty. But if you’re frowning and expecting the next hole-in-the-wall artisan gelato cafe that’s dyed in dreamy whites, don’t worry — it’s not. We’re going to talk about the spunky new BBW by Tie Fun Wan.
