Creep On Cute Doggos At Camp Canine, A Furry Fiesta In Honour Of Man’s Best Friend

Overly attached to your pet pooch and wish there was more you could do together in Singapore?

On 24 September, there’s an event happening that both you and your furry friend can enjoy – Camp Canine.

Happening from 12pm – 6pm, Camp Canine is the brainchild of the people behind pet thug-wear label FOURS and the events team behind Camp Kilo.

Born out of a love for pets, the dog-fest will take place at Camp Kilo Charcoal Club, a restaurant near the serene Kallang riverside that’s well-known for its tasty, hearty roast and chill, laidback atmosphere.

With an interactive dog fashion show, a friendly dog race, a pet market and more, you and your furry pal are sure to have a ball at Camp Canine. And the best part? Admission is free!

For The Dogs

Stylish Owner, Stylish Pet

First off, there will be a Dog Fashion Showcase where human and dog models decked in matching FOURS outfits will walk around, interacting and mingling with guests. An interactive fashion runway, watch these outfits in action – not just on the runway.

[caption id="attachment_29864" align="aligncenter" width="637"] Image Credit: FOURS Facebook[/caption]

In the same vein of fashion, there will also be a Best Dressed Contest, where both Man and dog (mostly dog) will compete! The 3 categories are: ‘Twinning’ (best human-pooch pair), ‘Fresh AF’ (pooch with best street style), and ‘Squad Goals’ (best pooch group).

[caption id="attachment_29865" align="alignnone" width="2048"] Image Credit: FOURS Facebook[/caption]

The judges will be moving around, seeking out humans and dogs who are dressed according to the various categories.

So, deck yourself and your furry children in your Sunday’s best. Who knows? You and your dogs may just walk away proud winners of one of these titles!

Pooch Race

If fashion ain’t you and your dog’s thing, maybe racing is.

Another highlight at Camp Canine is a friendly Dog Race you can sign your furry little guy up for. All in good fun, dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes are welcome – as long as they can play well with others.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a pet, Camp Kilo Charcoal Club has also partnered with Exclusively Mongrels to set up an Adoption Drive. Get to know the adorable dogs and if you have the means to care for them, give these animals a home!

For The Humans

While being surrounded by dogs in all kinds of crazy costumes and watching them scurry around will already fill your heart with joy, there’s more in store for us humans.

[caption id="attachment_29871" align="alignnone" width="2048"] Image Credit: Camp Kilo Charcoal Club[/caption]

Enjoy the wide BBQ selection Camp Kilo Charcoal Club has to offer, from a whole roasted pig to pork ribs. There will also be seafood like a whole Snapper, Stingray and more! Chow down on a hearty meal of meat with your friends and/or family, and let the good times roll!

Finally, pamper your pooch with goodies from the Pet Market. With a host of vendors from various pet brands, there’s no better way to end the day than with a small gift for man’s best friend.

Prodigal Roasters Has The Most Bizarre Cheese Tart Flavors To Complement Their Seasonal Coffee Menu

Prodigal Roasters pride themselves on their own roasted beans, which differ every single month as they are constantly getting in new beans from all over the world.

But we think its the ultimate pairing of their freshly brewed coffee and interesting bizarre cheese tart flavors that got to us.

[caption id="attachment_29808" align="alignnone" width="1170"] Freshly roasted (Image Credit: Prodigal Roasters)[/caption]

Their bizarre cheese tarts somehow works 

Get this, their bestseller is a Miso Cheese Tart, which tastes as delicious as it sounds bizarre. The miso caramel sauce is drizzled over a creamy cheese tart before its served. The sauce is kind of similar to salted caramel, but miso-style.

[caption id="attachment_29782" align="alignnone" width="640"] Tart’s up! (Image Credit: Natalie Wong via Burpple)[/caption]

If you prefer your tarts to be on the chocolate-y side, go for their Rocky Road Tart. The thick and fudge-like chocolate is slightly bittersweet (it uses dark chocolate), and is full of crunchy nuts and chewy marshmallow.

Another interesting one to try is the Sweet Potato Tart, which is mixed with chocolate and tinged with the mellow sweetness from the sweet potato.

On a superfood diet? Get the Acai Cheese Tart.

[caption id="attachment_29783" align="alignnone" width="730"] Superfoods in desserts so that you don’t abandon your diet. (Image Credit: Xing Wei Chua via Burpple)[/caption]

Classic flavors like lemon meringue and creme brûlée are also on the menu if you want to play it safe.

Something more substantial?

Prodigal Roasts started out selling tarts, but have since expanded to selling hearty mains in limited portions. Just like everything else, the menu is not fixed, so there’s no saying what you’ll get.

The chefs at Prodigal Roasters are very open to ideas from customers, which results in pretty unusual dishes. If you really want to be kept updated on their latest food creations, follow their Instagram!

Just a couple weeks ago, they had an interesting burnt cream pasta, which comes topped with pomegranate, one week old fermented onions, capers, celery and dusted with coffee grounds. Your tastebuds will be working overtime! 

[caption id="attachment_29773" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Coffee in pasta? (Image Credit: Prodigal Roasters)[/caption]

The only drawback is that these creations are not permanent fixtures on the menu (even though we think they deserve to be), but don’t be afraid to ask the chefs to whip something up on the spot.

They’ll try their best to oblige, although this is not always possible as they might not have the ingredients on hand.

Journey all over the world with their seasonal roasts

The guys at Prodigal Roasts love experimenting with their coffees as much as they love experimenting with their foods.

You can expect new coffee flavors every month as they are constantly trying out new bean profiles from all over the world. Taste coffees from Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Ethiopia, Thailand, Rwanda and more.

[caption id="attachment_29809" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Bring home some beans! (Image Credit: Prodigal Roasters)[/caption]

They also sell freshly roasted beans if you can’t get enough of your brew. Get some beans so that you can make your own cuppa whenever the cravings hit you.

Whether you’re a coffee lover or just want to try something new this cafe is definitely worth a trip to the heartlands for!

This Cafe’s Unique Éclairs Will Have You Choux-ing Them Over And Over Again

When you think of éclairs, a cream-filled pastry with chocolate icing probably comes to mind.

Made the same way in pretty much every bakery that sells its, there’s a cafe in Singapore that’s re-energising the pastry, one unexpected flavour at a time.

[caption id="attachment_29568" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Image Credit: Burpple User Cassie Ong[/caption]

L’éclair is Singapore’s first éclair specialty store and cafe. Set up by a duo that was trained at Le Cordon Bleu Paris, the two are all about discovering and expanding the possibilities of the éclair.

Their inventive handcrafted éclairs are not only an exquisite treat for the tastebuds, they’re also extremely easy on the eyes and look great on the ‘gram.

Located at Dhoby Gaut, this cafe is a short 5 minute walk from Dhoby Gaut MRT Station.

A Taste Of Paris

While L’éclair has created quite a variety of éclairs to date, you’ll find that they only serve 10 flavours each day – a blessing, considering that you’ll have enough trouble picking just one to eat.

[caption id="attachment_29572" align="aligncenter" width="1022"] Kaya Pandan Éclair (Image Credit: @leclairpatisserie)[/caption]

One day, you’ll find a Kaya Pandan Éclair, a fancy twist on Singaporeans’ favourite breakfast toast; and another, you’ll find a Baileys Cheesecake Éclair that’s filled with baileys pastry cream, topped with baileys cheesecake cream, and drizzled with baileys ganache for good measure – a triple hit of the delicious Irish cream liqueur.

[caption id="attachment_29752" align="aligncenter" width="762"] Ispahan Éclair (Image Credit: @leclairpatisserie)[/caption]

Some of the customers’ favourites here include the Ispahan, a pretty pink éclair filled with a light rose cream, cut lychees and fresh raspberries. Another beaut is the Matcha flavour, which comprises a smooth, premium matcha cream and white chocolate – a match made in dessert heaven.

Made using only the finest and freshest ingredients, you get all your money’s worth off these éclairs that are priced between $8 – $9 each.

A Mid-Autumn Special

Limited edition flavours are not unusual for the creative team at L’éclair.

To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, they’ve created 3 brand new flavours: Salted egg yolk lotus, black sesame red bean, and taro macadamia.

[caption id="attachment_29565" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] L-R: Salted egg yolk lotus, black sesame red bean, and taro macadamia (Image Credit: @leclairpatisserie)[/caption]

Available from 9 September onwards, you can pre-order these éclairs for first dibs on these mooncake-inspired éclairs!

In the past, they’ve also created a bunch of Chinese New Year-themed mooncakes, with CNY staples like pineapple tart, bak kwa, and pork floss making an appearance in these typically sweet pastries.

[caption id="attachment_29576" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] (Image Credit: @leclairpatisserie)[/caption]

High Tea Degustation

Can’t quite decide on just one? Treat yourself to a whole meal of éclairs with L’éclair’s High Tea Degustation!

[caption id="attachment_29582" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: L’éclair[/caption]

Savour an assortment of 5 assorted mini éclairs, alongside savoury bites including a Truffle Egg Mayo Choux Puff, Foie Gras Pate & Tomato Relish Crostini, Roasted Mushrooms Vol au Vent, Tomato & Basil Bruschetta, Signature Chicken & Bacon Pie, and Smoked Salmon & Dill Mousse Tartlet. You’ll also get one beverage per person to go with your elegant bites.

Super Insta-worthy individually and as a whole set, you’ll want to keep your phones on standby because you won’t be able to get through this tea without snapping at least a couple of pics.

The degustation will set you back $50 on weekdays (Tue – Fri) and $60 on weekends and public holidays, and are 9101 1971

A Cafe With A Cause

Puzzles, a cafe that serves up pizza bombs and other snacks, was started by two Ngee Ann Polytechnic graduates, Suzana Slemat and Shazlina Sulaiman, who wanted to shed some light on the struggles that deaf people face when interacting with service staff.

[caption id="attachment_29590" align="alignnone" width="979"] Founders Suzuna nad Shazlina (Image Credit:  After coming in first runner up in a start-up competition, the two girls were offered a space in Ngee Ann Poly’s Ourspace and a $5,000 grant to help kickstart the initiative. 

Puzzles mostly employs hearing impaired students, who are able to gain some working experience and earn some pocket money. The sign language guide and discount helps encourage interaction between the hearing impaired the regular customers.

While majority of customers are students and school staff, there are also regulars from the deaf community who enjoy visiting the cafe because of the servers who speak the same language. It seems like word has gotten out!

[caption id="attachment_29592" align="alignnone" width="1280"]
Pizza bombs are served! (Image Credit: Grab a pizza bomb for an explosion of flavor in your mouth (Image Credit: Puzzles SG)[/caption]

Pizza bomb toppings (or fillings in this case) are constantly on rotation, which means you’ll never get bored by the selection. You can expect flavors like salted egg, Hawaiian, chilli crab, beef satay, black pepper chicken, and cheesy spinach.

Other than pizza bombs, there are all sorts of snacks and desserts to sate your appetite in a long lecture. Think glazed chicken bites, brownies, meatball puffs, and mac and cheese.

Sometimes, they will have an all-day breakfast menu going on, with offerings like breakfast buns, roti johns and the super popular hashbrowns.

[caption id="attachment_29573" align="alignnone" width="1098"] Sweet treats to brighten up your day (Image Credit: Puzzles SG)[/caption]

For now, Puzzles only operates in Ngee Ann Polytechnic during term time as that’s when they get most business. Puzzles takes a break during school holidays, but is still open for catering orders.

Suzana and Shazlina has plans to continue operating Puzzles for two more years, and hopefully expand to other tertiary institutions. Soon, you might even be able to see Puzzles at other universities and polytechnics!

Till then, you’ll have to make do going to Ngee Ann Poly for your pizza bomb fix while learning some sign language on the side!

This Bakery Makes Millennial Lao Po Bings With Flavors Like Tokyo Banana, Thai Milk Tea And More

If you frequently travel to Thailand, you’ll probably have heard of or seen April’s Bakery around.

With 60 outlets scattered across the country, their home-made pies are now available in Singapore not just in Tampines, but also in the CBD. Located at the bustling food hall at the basement of One Raffles Place, this branch is much more accessible to those of us who, well, don’t live in the extreme east of Singapore.

[caption id="attachment_29516" align="alignnone" width="1484"] April’s Bakery at One Raffles Place[/caption]

While April’s Bakery has its roots in Thailand, their pies are unmistakably Cantonese at heart. Bearing some similarity to the traditional Wife Cake, or lao po bing, April’s Bakery puts its own spin on the pie by switching up its flavours and fillings!

Think Thai Milk Tea, Matcha Latte, Tokyo Banana, Sweet Potato… The list goes on.

[caption id="attachment_29454" align="aligncenter" width="958"] Flavors from top to bottom: Thai Milk Tea, Taro, Matcha, Tokyo Banana, Purple Potato (Image Credit: @oo_foodielicious)[/caption]

Some of their pies come filled with a tasty paste and custard combo, while others have a purely paste filling.

Priced at at just $2, these affordable pies are perfect for breakfast or a midday snack when you get a case of the munchies.

The Story Of April’s Bakery

The original April’s Bakery in Thailand started out as a small, obscure bakery in Central Plaza Ratchada-Rama III shopping centre. Selling cakes, biscuits and pastries, its founder, Nathanaporn Euawanthanakhun, started baking pies after discovering a love for roast pork pies during a trip to Hong Kong.

[caption id="attachment_29517" align="alignnone" width="1484"] April’s Bakery Pies[/caption]

That inspired her to come up with her own signature pie recipe, which eventually led her to expand her range to include flavours like Taro, Custard and Matcha Latte. To date, the bakery has over 30 pie flavours in Thailand, including both sweet and savoury varieties!

Pies For Every Preference

Unfortunately for us, April’s Bakery’s Singapore outlets currently only sell their sweet pies.

The signature flavour at April’s Bakery is Thai Milk Tea. Filled with a mixture of custard and paste, fans of Thai milk tea will likely enjoy this pie that’s rich and creamy, without being overly sweet.

Other custard-paste pies include the Matcha Latte, Custard and the Singapore-exclusive Tokyo Banana. Not available even in Thailand, this is hands down one of our favourites of the lot.

[caption id="attachment_29518" align="alignnone" width="4233"] April’s Bakery pies all cut up![/caption]

Some favourites among the health-conscious (and apparently, the gym-going crowd at One Raffles Place) are the Pumpkin and Sweet Potato pies that come with no added sugar. While much more subdued in flavour, the natural sweetness of Pumpkin and Sweet Potato really come through in these pies.

Durian lovers, here’s another durian-flavoured pastry to add to your must-try list. The latest flavour to hit the shelves at April’s Bakery, these will surely not disappoint.

[caption id="attachment_29456" align="alignnone" width="1180"] durian season should be all year round (Image Credit: @aprilbakerysg)[/caption]

While most of these pies are best enjoyed warm, we were told that you can also enjoy the custard-paste pies cold – and even with a scoop of ice cream!

If you’re working in the CBD area and are ever feeling peckish, grab one of April’s Bakery’s delicious pies. With such a wide variety of flavours, it’ll take you a while to work your way through all the pies to figure out which ones are your favourites.

Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, something healthy, or something to fill you up, April’s Bakery got just the thing!

This Cafe Created A Diner-Themed Dessert Menu, And Our Eyes Are Confused

If you’ve ever wished you could switch out all the food on your dinner plate for something sweeter (basically, dessert for dinner), there’s a cafe in Singapore where you can do just that; that is, seem like you’re having a sensible meal, but in fact be enjoying dessert.

Nestled in Lorong Kilat, this place serves up typical diner-style food – except, the foods here aren’t what they seem.

[caption id="attachment_29341" align="aligncenter" width="890"] Image Credit: Cake Avenue[/caption]

A spot called “Cake Avenue“, its name should be the first clue that you’re not in for a regular meal of burger and fries.

Look closer and you’ll find burger buns that are actually made of cake, soup that’s made of jelly, salsa that’s made of strawberry compote… You have to see it to believe it.

A Diner-themed Dessert Menu

Cake Avenue has released a new diner-themed dessert menu, and if you’re a sweet tooth, you’ll love all 6 new menu offerings they’re plating up.

First up is the classic burger and fries combo – or rather, its dessert twin.

[caption id="attachment_29331" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Cake Avenue[/caption]

Instead of burger buns sandwiching a beef patty, what you’re seeing here is a dark chocolate ice cream “patty” sandwiched by vanilla butter cake “burger buns”. The vibrantly coloured “mustard” is passionfruit purée, and raspberry purée serves as the “ketchup”.

For sides, you get “fries”, which comprise more vanilla cake.

[caption id="attachment_29332" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Cake Avenue[/caption]

Dessert nachos – bad idea or totally genius? Decide for yourself!

This dish of nachos contains flatbread nachos topped with strawberry compote “salsa”, chocolate mousse “refried beans”, julienned peach “cheese” and pistachio ice cream “guacamole”.

[caption id="attachment_29333" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Cake Avenue[/caption]

Now, this is a dish we find quite intriguing.

A simple bowl of Alphabet Soup, scoop into it and you’ll find that beneath the rose jelly “tomato broth” is a lychee mousse with lychee and raspberry. If you’re wondering if the “alphabets” are actually alphabet pasta, think again – the people at Cake Avenue went all out, crafting the alphabets out of sweet milk agar.

More Unicorn Food

If there’s one foodie trend that seems to be powering on, it has to be unicorn food.

[caption id="attachment_29336" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Cake Avenue[/caption]

Pretty to look at and super Instagrammable, Cake Avenue has created a range of unicorn-themed shakes that come complete with ears and a horn!

In pastel hues of yellow, pink, and green, take your pick from mango, strawberry and matcha flavours respectively!

Raring to try these inventive creations? So are we! Unfortunately, these new desserts will only be available from 1 September onwards, so we’ll all have to wait for just a bit before we can get our hands on these adorable treats.

Get Your Brewtiful Selfie Printed On Coffee, Only To End Up Drinking Your Own Face

Do you love your face so much you want your coffee to come complete with a picture of yourself on it?

Note: not your picture on the cup, but a picture printed directly into the whipped cream foam. And it’s 100% edible!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCQ3OIwzBjc

Selfie coffees have taken coffee drinking to another level – way above 3D foam lattes.

One-of-a-kind drink

Tucked away in an obscure corner on Haji Lane, The Selfie Coffee lets you customize your coffee for a unique drink. Originally from Malaysia, the Singapore branch also lets you print your photo onto the foam that your coffee comes with.

[caption id="attachment_28888" align="aligncenter" width="282"] #SQUADSELFIE (Image Credit: @cartmenez77)[/caption]

You can print selfies, commemorative photos, your beloved pet – anything goes! You can also take a picture on the spot, and the cafe has even provided props like huge sunglasses for goofy photos. We heard that some people even printed their idol’s faces onto the coffee! Talk about dedication.

[caption id="attachment_28880" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Is Pokemon still relevant? (Image Credit: @larvitar)[/caption]

After you’ve ordered, you will send your selfie or photo to a printing machine, which will ‘print’ your photo onto the whipped cream layer to create an exact color coffee.

If you intend to take 10,000 shots of your selfie coffee, go for an iced latte or frappe, as the picture can last up to an hour on cold drinks. Your face will dissolve in a hot drink in about 5 minutes – which is simply not long enough to admire your selfie!

[caption id="attachment_28883" align="aligncenter" width="293"] Are we seeing double? (Image Credit: @natasha.pye)[/caption]

Go for the novelty, stay for the coffee

Their coffee and frappes also come in a variety of flavors, like Salted Caramel, Matcha, Butterscotch, Caramel Macchiato, and White Chocolate just to name a few. The best yet: Horlicks fans will be thrilled to know that the selfie frappe also comes in Horlicks flavor.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BW2yuqvAGpV/

Even though having a selfie coffee on a drink is a novelty, the cafe strives to provide delicious coffee that has people returning. The owner said that he didn’t want the selfie coffee to be one-time thing.

Besides coffee, there is also a selection of teas, non-caffeineated ice blended drinks, pies and cakes. Complete your insta-worthy flat lay with a slice of rainbow cake!

At Don’t Tell Mama, the fries are served with real kimchi; none of that artificial kimchi powder you may get at some other places.

The fries are drizzled with generous amounts of homemade kimchi mayo, with extra jalapenos and onions for that sharp, spicy kick.

The two flavours are a match made in heaven, and we’re glad they’ve finally gotten together.

Their crispy fries are coated all over in the all-familiar salted egg yolk sauce!

For less than $10, you’ll get a mean serving of these golden babies, so share away!

That said, we would be more than willing to brave a sore throat to finish a whole plate of this ourselves.

9. SPAM Fries

Here’s the ultimate diet-killer.

Spam Fries – or deep fried cuts of luncheon meat – are apparently a thing now.

Scoop up some of the Kaffir lime mayo dip for a flavour combo you’ve probably never tried before!

This is probably the fanciest form good old luncheon meat will ever take.

Goodbye Bake, Pablo Cheese Tart Is FINALLY Coming To Singapore!

Love Japanese cheese tarts?

Well, prepare for another round of queuing because Japanese cheese tart chain Pablo will open its first Singapore outlet in Wisma Atria come early August.

What’s For Sale?

First things first, the chain’s signature 15cm-wide cheese tarts will be on sale. The original flavour sells for $15, while the matcha cheese tart and the chocolate cheese tart will be priced at $18 each.

[caption id="attachment_28622" align="alignnone" width="1174"] Pablo Cheese Tarts[/caption]

Pablo is famous for selling cheese tarts that vary in consistency i.e. the “rare” is more liquid, oozing molten cheese filling when the tart is sliced, while the “medium” has a more solid consistency. In Singapore, unfortunately, only the “medium” is available, but hopefully, this could change in the future!

[caption id="attachment_28620" align="aligncenter" width="940"] Premium Cheese Tart (Image Credit: Mini Cheese Tart (Image Credit: Airfrov)[/caption]

Also not to be missed are Pablo’s Mini Cheese Tarts. The cheese flavoured tarts will set you back $3.50 each, while the chocolate and matcha flavours will cost slightly more, selling at $3.80 each. These mini tarts will only arrive in the store later this year, so we’ll have to wait for a bit before we can get our hands on these adorable bite-sized tarts.

Other items you can expect at Pablo Cheese Tart are the Cheese Soft Serve ($3.90), Cheese Tart Smoothie ($7.80) and Cheese Millefeuille ($18).

Excited yet? We’re already counting down the days!
