Go full English with the classic English Breakfast that comes with the usual smoked Pancetta bacon, sausage, tomato and beans. All of which are topped with freshly-plucked basil leaves and a glorious sunny-side up.
Alternatively, indulge in a lavish seafood brunch with their King Crab Eggs Florentine. It comes with generous chunks of king crab served with sautéed spinach and poached eggs.

To start your day on a light note without potentially getting food coma thereafter, go for their Faina and fried eggs! It is paired with crushed avocado, coriander, and “aji molido” crème fraiche which lends a unique flavour to the dish.
Likewise, for a meaty option, you will not be disappointed with their classic Beef and Bone Marrow Burger. Featuring their signature premium beef, this burger is stacked with grilled tomatoes, onions, pickles, chimichurri (a type of sauce for grilled meat) and a sunny-side up.
boCHINche Their Berry Ricotta Hotcake is an absolute showstopper. Relish in this fluffy hotcake that is topped with strawberries, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. One distinctive feature about The LoKal is that they make all their dishes in-house from scratch. [caption id="attachment_21683" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Their attention to detail makes it one of the best places to indulge in wholesome and generously portioned brunch. Furthermore, for a nourishing mid-morning meal, go for their Smashed Avocado with Ricotta. It is made up of smashed avocado, homemade ricotta cheese paired with pomelo and toasted almonds on a sourdough bread. The Local Kinki’s Bottomless Buffet (S$52++) comes in an a la carte buffet style. The buffet offers three kinds of fresh and perfectly-cut sashimi: Salmon (Sake), Yellow Tail (Hamachi) and Bluefin Tuna (Maguro). Regardless of the time, it is always brunch time here at Penny University. [caption id="attachment_21689" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Located right in the heart of Singapore’s CBD, you might easily pass Free The Robot if you are still reeling from morning drowsiness after a good slumber. [caption id="attachment_21692" align="aligncenter" width="1958"] The only indication of the place’s entrance is a single wall of robot-theme scribbles.

Seletar Aerospace Is Where The Hipsters Are Now Hanging Out At
North-east residents rejoice! The new kid on the block – Seletar Aerospace – is currently where all the hipsters are now hanging out at!
The recently redeveloped area at Seletar Aerospace Park is also known as The Oval. This sprawling plot of land boasts a cluster of 32 black and white colonial bungalows. Gazetted for conservation, these stunning bungalows now house various restaurants for that ultimate dining experience.
We’d say, forget Tiong Bahru and Holland Village. Seletar Aerospace is the next foodie enclave that you should be heading to!
1. Youngs Bar & Restaurant
Housed in one of the numerous colonial bungalows at Seletar Aerospace Park is Youngs Bar & Restaurant.

3. Wildseed
Similar to most of the restaurants here at Seletar Aerospace Park, Wildseed is a cafe by day and transforms into a bar at night.
[caption id="attachment_21809" align="aligncenter" width="901"] Sharing the same bungalow space as Wildseed, The Summerhouse Dining Room is located at the upper floor of the colonial bungalow. [caption id="attachment_21813" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] The restaurant overlooks its in-house garden and farming collective. Expect a plethora of nature-inspired cuisines using their very own fresh seasonal produce!

Here at The Summerhouse Dining Room, you can expect nothing short of inventive flavours. They have a unique collective farming set menu as well as a la carte dishes available. Some of their highlights include Iberico Pork, Beetroot as well as Uni Pasta.
[caption id="attachment_21812" align="aligncenter" width="329"] If modern Western cuisines do not suit your palate for the day, fret not! There is still the reliable Chinese restaurant to fall back on at Di Wei Teo Chew Restaurant. [caption id="attachment_21816" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] The once-secluded area of Seletar just got more hip. All because of the onslaught of chichi restaurants and cafes that serve up fancy food, fancy cocktails and fancy coffee. Away from the bustling city roads, this place provides a serene and almost country-like atmosphere rarely found in our cosmopolitan Singapore. While Seletar Aerospace might be slightly inaccessible (though Punggol and Yishun residents might beg to differ), it is no doubt a trip worth making. So head down to this new foodie enclave and savour some delectable food fare while enjoying the quiet setting. At the rate of its increasing popularity, this place might start getting more crowded in time to come!

Blast From The Past: 7 Nostalgic Old-School Food Spots That Your Grandparents Dined At
Singapore is labelled as a food haven where a huge variety of delicious international cuisines are offered and readily available for residents. Furthermore, the city’s architecture even pays tribute to food, such as the durian-shaped Esplanade theatre.
Singapore’s food-centric culture began way before you and I were even born. From street side hawkers to exclusive western restaurants, our parents and grandparents were the first to experience those glorious days and yummy food.
Fortunately for us and the younger generations, some of these shops are still in business, continuing to serve authentic dishes that the older generations once had. Without further ado, here are 7 food vendors and restaurants that have been around since our grandparents’ era.
1. Yet Con Restaurant 逸群雞飯
Situated along Purvis Street, Yet Con Restaurant has been serving authentic Hainanese chicken rice since the 1940s. It was also recognised as Singapore’s oldest Hainan restaurant.

6 Cafes So Fancy Even Your Atas Friend Will Approve
Cafes in Singapore are a dime a dozen. Be it in the hipster neighbourhoods or heartland estates, cafes are almost ubiquitously found in every part of Singapore. However, it seems that the ambience and interior design of a cafe play an important role in drawing the crowds while the food menu is put on the back-burner. These days, fancy cafes seemingly have an unspoken smart-casual dress code with their elaborate interior and atmosphere.
If you are on the prowl for places to finally wear that perfect #ootd-worthy outfit, here are 6 cafes so fancy even your atas friend will approve!
1. The Coffee Academics
Highly rated coffee specialty store from Hong Kong, The Coffee Academics finally opened its first outlet in Singapore in 2015. Interestingly, their impressive interior goes beyond mere spacious and splendid.
[caption id="attachment_21207" align="aligncenter" width="644"]

The interior of The Coffee Academics looks like a mash-up of a fancy cafe and science laboratory, yet the different design themes within the cafe complement each other in perfect harmony.
At one end, there is a Japanese-style table with tatami-like seats, perhaps catering to the affluent Japanese tai-tais. The other corner is filled with bar-like tables while the rest of the dining tables are spread out across its spacious interior.

Despite being around for less than two years, this brainchild of the folks behind the Department of Caffeine has been garnering a lot of attention on social media and amongst cafe-hoppers. [caption id="attachment_21152" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Together with their industrial-chic lamps and geometric-tiled walls, the sheer size of its interior is enough to amaze you. Furthermore, their appealing decor adorned with plants and enhanced with natural light makes it an ideal place for you to take those instagram-worthy shots. Opening its doors in 1999 as a cosy cafe hidden amidst a clothing store, PS. Cafe has quickly gained a slew of regular patrons with its charming and quaint environment.

Serious Foodies Only: Here Are The Best Restaurants In Singapore For 2016
6 German Food Places In Singapore For A Guten Appetit Time!
German cuisine is all about big and hearty portions. Think Bratwurst, Pork Knuckles as well as meat and sausages of all sorts. Besides meat, German food also includes tantalising desserts such as the popular Blackforest Cake. Of course, Germans love to have their beer at almost every meal time.
If that has already roused your taste buds, guess what? Here are 6 places in Singapore where you can enjoy authentic German food without having to fly all the way to Germany to enjoy it!
1. Stew Küche
Located within one of the hipster coffee shops in Singapore, Salute, is Stew Küche. Occupying the position typically set aside for zi char stalls, this hawker stall is clearly the anchor tenant here. What draws crowds from island-wide to this stall is their extremely affordable German / Bavarian cuisine.
Once you are here, there is absolutely no missing out on ordering their famous signature Pork Knuckle!
Available as a half or whole portion, you will be treated to a well-marinated and oven-baked pork knuckle with tender meat. This dish is served with thick mashed potatoes set in a savoury brown gravy, and with a Singaporean twist of Peranakan spicy pickled achar.
[caption id="attachment_21287" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]

Of course, no meal here is complete without ordering a pint of cold beer from their extensive selection of German lager. They serve mostly German and Bavarian brands, from beers on tap to craft beers for you to choose as well.

Besides the Pork Knuckle, there are several other German dishes worth trying as well, such as Oxtail Stew & Pretzel as well as a range of pastas. Either way, dining at Stew Küche will make you feel as if you are in eating in Germany itself.

2. Erich’s Wuerstelstand
Erich’s Wuerstelstand claims to be the last sausage stall before the equator. While we cannot ascertain the truth behind that statement, one thing is for sure here – their Currywursts are absolutely to-die for!
Sink your teeth into their currywurst, a bratwurst (the standard German sausage) that is dressed up with curry sauce.
Top it off with curry powder and you get the all-time favourite German snack. Understandably, one piece is usually not enough so we highly recommend that you pair it with one of their classic German side, sauerkraut or fermented chopped cabbage.
[caption id="attachment_21291" align="aligncenter" width="1500"]

Just beside Erich’s Wuerstelstand sits Erich’s Backstube, which essentially is a bakery stall. Here, be spoilt for choice with the numerous muffins and cupcakes baked fresh daily.
