Are we surprised I’m back at Baker’s Bench Bakery? The battered fish burger was tender and crispy, while the mushroom-spinach pita had lovely sourdough tang. The twice-baked ham-and-cheese croissant was delicious, but the orange semolina cake was
Cloudfields’ creative dishes and beautiful aesthetics kept appearing on my feed, so I had to visit. The portions are generous, and the corn fritters and fries stood out. The drinks were refreshing too. A great spot if price isn’t an issue.
Always a good time at Oatsome. Oatsome’s Dubai dark chocolate pistachio bbang gets incredibly crispy when air-fried, with a rich chocolate flavour and nutty pistachio kataifi aftertaste. The genmaicha dark chocolate parfait was more

Only a few days left to get exclusive Kewpie merchandise at Keen’s with any main-menu bagelwich featuring Kewpie mayo and a minimum spend of $49 in one receipt. Keen’s scrambled eggs may
Finally visited the cafe with the big moon. Ceres at Circular Road, Clarke Quay. The sandwich was disappointing for $17, with little salmon and barely any cheese, but the sautéed spinach, sourdough and wasabi mayo were tasty. The tiramisu was
Back at Maxi Coffee Bar for a collab with Dearborn Granola. The pulled pork burrito, strawberry granola bowl, cardamom honey toast, Earl Grey Basque cheesecake and granola milk latte were all excellent.
Special menu for Folk Yard’s Suntory Whisky collab party at Upper Serangoon Road. The pizza crusts remain my favourite: fragrant, chewy and delicious. Highlights: Maitake Mushroom ($22) and rich, savoury Pitan Tofu ($12). Teriyaki Chicken ($20) was
In @wheatheadbaking’s sandwiches we trust. The Winner Winner delivered bold, smoky, spicy Mexican-inspired flavours, while the Buttah Hammer kept things light and umami-rich. Don’t miss the juicy sour cherry pie with brown-butter almond streusel.
Solid food and sake before noon at Wheathead and Fossa Provisions’ Sake Party. The P&P sandwich was a spicy, umami-packed flavour bomb, while the dates, chocolate and stracciatella tartine offered subtle depth. The strawberry cake and melon panna
So many exciting new bakes at @frostedbyfang this month! Highlights: black sesame pecan tiramisu, oolong apricot thyme cheesecake crumble, lemon Earl Grey teacake and addictive chrysanthemum financiers.
New platter menu at Janchi, Craig Road, Tanjong Pagar! Combo Set B ($130) serves 3 comfortably and includes boiled pork, braised pig’s trotters, a stew, a pancake, and two yuzu ades. Highlights: tender meats, flavourful aged kimchi stew, crispy
I’m convinced Folk Yard’s pizza crusts are unbeatable. Deli Delight ($22) with burrata ($6): balanced savoury cold cuts, tangy-sweet tomato sauce and smoky, flavour-enhancing charred crust. The creamy burrata was essential. Broccolini ($16) was
Can’t believe it’s been over a year since my last visit to Chu & Co. The house otah grilled cheese was loaded with cheese and substantial otah chunks, balanced by spicy otah and crispy, chewy sourdough. The kouign amanns were flaky and caramelised.
Between Buns has opened a permanent CBD store. The oxtail melt was tender, flavourful and saucy, while the roasted broccolini sandwich was smoky, creamy and satisfying. The Cajun fries were crispy and well-seasoned.
Finally visited Singapore’s most hidden sando spot. As a brioche lover, I was excited to try their famous brioche sandos, but the buns were slightly dry and lacked brioche’s signature sweetness. Toasting them would have made them even better. The
I love Korio. Breakfast sandwich ($14): Greasy, dry brioche with buttery fragrance and a crisp, deep-fried-like texture, savoury luncheon meat, cheese and creamy gribiche. More dill would balance the richness. Caprese grilled cheese ($16): Rich and
I’ve been eyeing Hone Bakes’ gateau cakes forever, so I was thrilled when they announced their Baker X pop-up. Hone Bakes’ cakes were elite: creamy yet spongy, with bold, balanced flavours. Matcha black sesame gateau ($12): Earthy, fragrant and
