It might be hard to wrap your head around the concept of a Korean hair salon-slash-cafe. As one of our friends asked, “Will they serve us a box of hair?”
Walking on Sunshine’s unique 2-in-1 concept features a cafe alongside a hair and nail salon with the cafe part being surprisingly good. We had the signature souffle pancakes that were truly fluffy and served with fresh fruit.
For a heavier meal, try the Bulgogi beef cream fettuccine. It features generous tender beef and al dente pasta for a delicious Korean fusion dish.

For a luxurious brunch, try Yan Ting. Simple Asian breakfast or lunch dishes are elevated with premium ingredients, such as its delectable lobster wok-fried rice with homemade XO sauce.
Even the soups are filling as evidenced by the perfectly balanced double-boiled baby cabbage consomme with Matsutake mushroom. We also had the tender and succulent Cantonese-style stir-fried venison with black pepper sauce.

Estate at the Hilton Hotel boasts a luxurious interior blending modern opulence with nature-inspired touches. The cosy ambience, enhanced by earthy tones, soft lighting, and natural materials, complements the botanical theme.
The menu features hand-crafted noodles with aromatic broths and contemporary Asian and Western options.
We fell in love with the variety of wraps honouring Asian cultures, especially the Singapore-style popiah (fresh spring roll) with soft shell crab and gochujang (Korean fermented paste) chicken tacos.

La Savoir is a French café-restaurant featuring a contemporary interior with striking Hermès tableware and wallpaper adding elegance. It’s an ideal spot for a light but satisfying brunch.
We recommend the La Savoir Butter Board. It features a trio of bread served with three types of freshly made butter, each offering a unique flavour profile.
Our short but sweet take: the French sea salt butter is rich and creamy; the Japanese furikake-inspired butter is salty umami; and the spiced shrimp butter has a delectably sweet and salty blend.
Pro-tip: Explore the three different dining areas for a unique dining experience every time.

On certain days, we’re all just about bread and cheese as our first meal of the day. But it has to be a special kind of bread and cheese to ensure we’ll set off on the right note, such as the ones we’ve had at Binary.
The deep-fried burrata sits in a pesto puddle, offering a delightful texture contrast between creamy burrata and crispy panko crust. Meanwhile, the homemade Kubaneh (Jewish) bread with garlic and kombu (Japanese kelp) butter has a buttery, pillowy bite.

Hong Kong’s acclaimed Social Place arrived in Singapore via its first outlet on Orchard Road. An Instagram-worthy place, the restaurant boasts a modern, minimalist interior with mahjong-tiled walls and keen attention to its dishes’ aesthetic details.
A standout dish here is the seafood crackling rice soup, featuring a flavourful broth and plump prawns and scallops. Meanwhile, its deep-fried lobster glutinous puffs creatively resemble mangosteens, filled with crab meat cooked in lobster broth.

It’s best known for its inventive cakes, but Baker’s Brew also has brunch offerings by way of its crab mix eggs Benedict and delightful French toast. Its light and fluffy brioche bread is also perfect for all-day breakfasts.
But what we love here is the creamy truffle mushroom soup served with crispy garlic bread. The soup features herbs, mushroom bits, and a hint of truffle oil for added depth of flavour.
Pro-tip: For a sweet and light option, indulge in the two-tone Earl Grey lavender-hued cake, perfect for fans of the famous tea.

We believe nothing represents a brunch dish better than Oriole Coffee + Bar’s smoked salmon waffles. It has perfectly cooked crispy potato rosti topped with smoked salmon, capers, crème fraiche, and fresh spring onions.
Meanwhile, the all-day breakfast menu features mains such as the Oriole truffle burger and the juicy sweet soy pork ribs. We also recommend the snapper fish and chips featuring perfectly fried batter and tender fish.
Pro-tip: Experience guilt-free indulgence with the M.A.D. milk (macadamia, almonds, and dates as a sugar substitute) beverage option.
