Selera Nasi Lemak
It’s easy to spot Selera—just look for the longest queue. The food here proves that simplicity can come out on top. What you get is a neat mound of coconut-infused rice, cucumber, a fried egg, fried ikan bilis and, depending on your order, fried chicken wing, fried fish or otah otah. Many swear by Selera’s […]

La Ristrettos
Located in an obscure corner on the eighth floor of Novena Medical Centre, this (very) hidden gem of a cafe serves up great coffee, as well as hearty brunch/lunch fare, like pastas, salads and paninis.

This casual, cozy cafe in the Kovan neighborhood offers affordable yet delicious brunch fare—noteworthy items on the menu include Lola’s Full Monty breakfast (bratwurst sausage, honey-baked ham, honey bacon, scrambled eggs, garden salad, brioche) and the avocado eggs benedict. There’s also a dinner menu available from 6pm onwards, and a delectable range of sweet treats […]
The Coastal Settlement
This restaurant may not be located in the most accessible of places, but its rustic ambiance makes the trek to the Changi Village area worth it. There’s plenty of quirky vintage furniture and knick-knacks inside, and lots of lush greenery outside. The food’s decent too (albeit a little on the pricey side)—try the truffle fries, pizza […]
Necessary Provisions
This little establishment, tucked away in one of the residential estates of Upper Bukit Timah, offers a rather small menu—some sandwiches, pastas, and a couple of Japanese-inspired dishes like Buta Don (pork bowl). The ambiance is also hipster-friendly—think vintage furniture and shelves of indie magazines, among other things. Driving or cabbing is recommended, as there […]
The Green Bar (Millenia Walk)
Koh Grill & Sushi Bar
There always seems to be a long queue right outside this little dining joint. Their sushi’s got everyone’s attention, particularly the legendary Shiok Maki, which consists of avocado, unagi and aburi salmon, topped with a sinfully good creamy mayo-like concoction. Like your fish firm, tender, fresh and raw? So do we. Check out our favorite […]
