I reckon it’s worth a visit if you live nearby or want to avoid the crowds at popular, central areas!
The rendang was fragrant, rich and layered. The wagyu beef was a bit tough and fibrous, but not bad. The blue pea rice was also interesting, with a slight fragrance, and paired well with the rendang sauce.
I was blown away by Elixir Boutique Roasters’ Brûlée French Toast and can’t wait to be back for more of it.
Very crowded. Very European style fragrant artisanal sourdough bread. Quite nice coffee, but the bread was probably not to my liking, for soft pillowy breads.
That’s enough reason for us to recommend you to make your way down for a casual afternoon hangout or a quick bite before work.
Coffee beans are currently sourced from Common Man Coffee Roasters
The drip coffee uses Colombian beans and is smooth and not at all bitter. Fantastic.
With each loaf beautifully handcrafted with love, this is the place you should add to your list for good quality toasts and coffee.
The sourdough is extremely HARD but the toppings on top is delicious!!! The Hummus Za'atar EVOO toast is so good.
I went to Orh Gao tonight and grabbed a plate of their gado-gado while I was there. It came in just the right portion and was seasoned nicely, making it fun to eat with a glass of suds. But I should avoid the kacang panjang next time given all of the minced garlic in there.

More importantly, they have food that's not only done with care (i.e., this isn't your typical nasty bar food) but also with playful twists on local food.
All in all, there is something for everyone at Sugarhaus + Fat Belly, if you looking for coffee, classic brunch dishes, a little bit more experimental desserts or steaks, they have it.
Priced reasonably, with good desserts to cap the night, Sugarhaus + Fat Belly is a perfect combination to cap a lazy night.
The standard of food is still pretty good as compared to the last visit. Do visit if you are looking for some simple and affordable authentic French Food.
It's probably never too late to realise this hidden gem and without a doubt, I am loving their french classics.
Botanico and Bee's Knees have definitely taken modern SEA cooking to the next level and I found myself surprised at every bite.
Beyond the inventive cafe dishes on the menu, another reason to visit Bee’s Knees is the atmosphere.
I like that the truffle carbonara has arugula leaves on it so that the bitterness can undercut the heaviness.
At my age, I have attended quite a number of Chinese weddings which typically feature round tables that can sit ten persons at a hotel ballr...
Her creations now reflect a greater nuance and finesse with a new focus on South East Asian flavours.
I thought it was a pity that the food didn't quite work out.
Crown Bakery & cafe is another great cafe along Bukit Timah Road. They have a really nice blue interior with black and white checkered floors and lamps resembling their crown logo.
Quality of food and service still remain pleasant since my first visit many years back with friends.
My favorite of the lot, was the Japanese Sweet Potato Mini Loaf. When its stated as mini, it really was!
Next time I should try to sidestep those wagyu prices by going for the spatchcock instead.
Overall, it was definitely a memorable experience.
Save to say, Fat Belly gets my votes for the value for money steakhouse in Singapore.
Seriously concentrated, layered and good stuff, this affogato.
Affogato Bar is a tiny cafe in Cluny Court, the small shopping arcade across the Botanic Garden MRT station.

Each dish looks small but we were quite full by the time the kaya toast dessert was served.
The CORNER HOUSE is a two-storey Black and White bungalow built in 1910.
Overall, Corner House deserves its Michelin Star and recognition.
Atlas Coffeehouse has a vibe that I quite like and the food is good and decently priced.
Making Atlas Coffeehouse my cafe regular spot in Bukit Timah. You should too.
Overall, the vibes at this cafe scream “hipster with a touch of comfortable charm”. While the exterior of the cafe is plain and fairly nondescript, once you step into this fully air-conditioned cafe, you will be transported to a softly-lit, artfully-minimalistic universe filled with subdued colours and a buzzing atmosphere. Perfect for a weekend brunch.
Recently awarded the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, Noo Cheng Adam Road Big Prawn Mee is a testament to the enduring appeal of authentic, unpretentious flavors.
On that note, I was surprised to see that this stall had a sign saying that the morning and night shifts are run by different owners. Even if the recipies and techniques are similar, it makes me wonder if they procure from the same suppliers, and hence how different the bowls end up being.

Nice hae bi hiam and prawn flavours and umami. Pasta well cooked and al dente. I’ve missed this place.
Relish by Wild Rocket at Cluny Court in Bukit Timah is one of our favourite places to eat around that area.
Relish @ Cluny Court is a pleasant, laid back place away from the usual busy places in Singapore.
Choupinette is a quaint French café along Bukit Timah Road. They've been around for a long time! The café is tiny and has rustic homey decor but gives off a cozy vibe. They not only sell main dishes but sell bread and cakes as well.
French Restaurant Takeaway Singapore review - Choupinette $26 set lunch. Mushroom soup, salad, lasagna, duck confit, coffee ...
Choupinette is a small French cafe along Bukit Timah Road, next to Coronation Plaza. It is not a new French cafe, in fact, it has probably been there for around 20 years.
The ngoh hiong was clearly homemade, tasty and savoury with various ingredients and waterchestnut within, although I felt that the fillings was too evenly ground up. The sotong was tender yet qq, cooked in a potent and fragrant sambal. Definitely worth coming back again to try the other dishes.
Our final dish of lor bak was saved for another meal. We had too much pork for one day!
The simple, traditional dishes at The Curry Wok is something I will be back for, especially when I am yearning for some comfort food.
KARA Cafe & Dessert Bar is an upscale independent café serving eclectic ‘all-day dining’ hearty comfort food.
The highlight is their homemade Mochi Waffles with Froyo.
Nice soothing decor with botanical impressions on the walls, taking inspiration from the UNESCO World Heritage awarded Singapore Botanic Gardens.
My Little Spanish Place: one of the best Spanish restaurants in Singapore, helmed by Chef/Owner Edward, a Filipino: an incredibly authentic menu...
My Little Spanish Place, @ 619 Bukit Timah Road is a stunning restaurant. You must visit here, or go to the other branch on Boat Quay, say hi to Chef Edward
Ollie had a choice today for his birthday celebration lunch.
This was a really nice old-school restaurant sitting below a bunch of HDB flats, offering particularly tasty and good-value reunion dinner sets.
All in our party enjoyed the lunch at Westlake today.
The two main dishes turned out to be the best dishes of the day. The black pepper pork ribs tasted great. They were cut into thin slices and thus were soft and easy to eat. The gravy was very good as well.
