Some of the signature items from the shack can now be found at Nesuto so that you can have your savoury and sweet all in one place!
Overall, Nesuto was an attractive cafe in Tanjong Pagar for a tea break and indulge in some sweet desserts.
Marginally better than the Yuzu Raspberry, I just don't think I will be returning for their sliced cakes anytime soon. And not to worsen matters, their cheesecakes as introduced are their densest cakes with plenty of cheese and chocolate. Oh. My. Goodness.

Cheek by Jowl is a Modern Australian Restaurant located in Singapore, helmed by husband-and-wife team, Rishi Naleendra and Manuela Toniolo.
I'm not sure how to describe the feeling I had for this dessert. I like the peanuts and the pomelo.
The food is bereft of finesse and confidence of a mature chef. The dishes we had that day were rather uneven; some good, some middling, and one terrible.
I suspect Cheek By Jowl is one of those restaurants that diners can get divided on. That you would either get excited about for its odd, somewhat creative pairing; or feel some dishes might need more fine-tuning in terms of balance.

I ordered the highly recommended Breakfast Platter and got them to change the corn to salad coz hard to eat corn with braces. I have nothing to complain about this well executed platter.
All their beans are supplied by the Knockhouse Supply Co. in the same building. My coffee was uber-smooth, creamy and full-bodied.
About 2/3 of the seating area is al-fresco. There are some seats indoors but I wouldn’t recommend sitting there because the space is rather narrow, it’s directly next to the ordering queue and the cooking smell is stronger there.

So yes, i'd come back to strangers' reunion for the savoury brunch options. there are a number of items i have my eye on, and i'll love to come back to get my hands on those.
As for the foods here in Strangers’ Reunion, there are more hits and misses i would say. I will be back for the mentaiko pasta definitely and of course an ideal cafe for friends’gathering.
Strangers’ Reunion is probably one of ‘pioneer’ hipster cafes in Singapore.

Wood fire grill restaurant with casual atmosphere
With a new Head Chef Jake Kellie appointed this recently, we can almost certainly expect more buzz with Burnt Ends and how the new chef will elevate the already acclaimed restaurant to a higher level.
The restaurant is small and unpretentious with only counter seats and you’ll have full view of what’s cooking, mainly on the charcoal grill where they’ll do the smoking, slow roasting, hot roasting, baking and grilling.
Burnt Ends is an Australian barbecue restaurant owned by Chef Andre Chiang of Andre, No.6 of Asia's Best 50 Resaurants 2015 & No.37 Word's Best 50 Restaurant 2014.

Most of the menu was rather meat-heavy, so I went for one of the few meatless options available
Nothing seems to have changed since my last visit (the variety of drinks in the chiller seem to have increased; definitely a good thing).
The bun held it in place, the pork was tender but firm and the Garlic Aioli and Caramelized Onions simply enhanced the flavours.

I can’t recall the precise taste of each of the buns but they were all very good.

It is combination of roasted pumpkin, green beans, pickled beetroot, quinoa, dried cranberries, sprouts, avocado and roast pumpkin seeds, all tossed in a whey dressing.
The Sauteed King Oyster Mushrooms & Bacon ($8) was lovely, the crisp of the bacon a wonderful contrast against the springy juiciness of the mushrooms.

Bar-Roque Grill - A new bar & grill concept by Chef Stefan Istel and Kori Millar
Too bad the dessert section is their weakest link. Warm cherry claufoutis with almond ice cream ($14) is so-so.
Everything from the regular menu was well prepared. The fish had a tasty gravy to eat with. The cherry dessert was also good. We can see why Barroque was awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant accreditation.
We tried one of their rum infusions. This was known as Sing, something with pineapple, red chilli and vanilla. The chilli existed as an aromatic with none of the heat. I suppose it would have been much much more interesting if there was something prickly in it.

I feel super good when I eat such a pancake cos
1) it tastes nice
2) I feel like I deserve it
3) I need to stop the hunger pangs but I sometimes regret a teensy bit after because I get too full!
I loved the seasonging of the chicken and the house special ranch dressing coated the crunchy fried chicken provided saucey comfort!
Ambience at The Populus is styled after modern, contemporary cafes in Australia.

At least the dinner was saved by the fantastic food. Classic fare buttressed by excellent ingredients and a skilled finesse with the grill.
We would. You will most likely have an enjoyable meal at Market Grill, although you have to be prepared to splurge here.

Specialty Coffee Shop
Drury Lane serves up relatively inexpensive food in general (prices are nett) but quality hovers around the average mark. In short, just another run off the mill (but reasonably priced) cafe.
Read 34 unbiased reviews of Drury Lane (Cantonment), best for Banana Bread with Espresso Butter, Mocha, Smoked Salmon Sandwich, 1935 Toast, 94 Goes Green, Bacon Baked Egg, Bacon Infused Pancakes, Cloud 9 Pancakes, Salted Caramel tart, chocolate caramel tart, egg benedicts, muesli. Also view menu and directions to Tanjong Pagar Road. Drury Lane is a two-storey cafe along Tanjong Pagar Road serving great selection of muffins to compliment with variety of coffee mixes and tea.
There were other intriguing dishes on the menu which I will try on my next visit like the bakes and muffins! Nevertheless, still an ideal brunch and coffee destination for me in the vicinity of Tanjong Pagar. Coffees were good, the spacious layout on the second floor was even better. With free wifi, nothing beats a therapeutic quiet afternoon with coffee and work.

I’m definitely coming back again, but the next I’m going to hop to Wimbly Lu and Creamier!!!
I love the ambience and interior of the cafe. It offers a great place to relax, with a view of the street.

It was a night well-spent at Club Meatballs. The best part is, it's totally budget-friendly! If you noticed, most of the dishes are priced below S$20 except for just 3 dishes on the menu which is still not over-the-top expensive.
The space, like it’s food, is versatile, inviting and warm. With its 70 pax seating capacity and beautiful mosaic tiles, the space can cater to hosting parties and events for corporate purposes and birthday parties alike. At Club Meatballs, there’s a big sentiment for sharing, evident from how most of their dishes are tapas style.
This bar/restaurant is best visited with a bunch of pals after work, the ambience sensuous, fun, and rife with possibilities. With The Entertainer app, you can gather your 5 friends here, and still have 1-for-1. Your friends will thank you for savings of their balls.

There are endless reasons to fall in love with this charming cafe—every element of Shop Wonderland Cafe & Floral Studio was executed flawlessly and with elegance.
The best dish of the day was the Thai Green Curry pasta ($14). This was a pleasant dish. Pasta with chicken curry is unusual but the curry was quite mild and the combination was a successful one.
Overall, this place is a good option for sugar rush in the Telok Ayer area but note that prices are not cheap.

3 Level of space, Eat, Learn & HUSTLE
With just less than half a year into operations, Hustle Co has undergone a series of menu tweakings to introduce a variety of unqiue offerings to indulge in for brunch.
As much as it fulfilled all the criteria of a decent burger, we felt that it was not a great one. The beef patty was lacking in flavour and although the bacon and cheese provided a heightened level of salt and richness, it was not enough to make this burger stand out.
While their menu sounded good on paper, I guess they require a bit more practice to perfect the food execution.

We like the space here at Muse Amuse, ideal for group gatherings as there are no two-seaters tables here. While some of the dishes are pretty unique in terms of the combination of ingredients, not all resonate well with us.
Overall I felt that the food at Muse Amuse has potential and I can taste the passionate in their creation However I think more thoughts are needed to refine the dishes.

Phat Cat Laundry is Singapore's First Laundromat-Themed Bar where you can expect Asian-inspired cocktails and Asian fusion dishes.
I find it very rare to see Southeast Asian Cuisine being presented on fine-dining stage so this is really a good chance to savour a full course of contemporary Indonesian dishes. What's more, diners can stand a chance to win a trip to Indonesia and other attractive prizes.
