10 Nearby Cafes and Bars in Singapore, Singapore, Singapore (B)

May is the month of spring (and Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere), and it’s all about summer vacations and Labor Day weekends. Whatever the month-long observances, we may need to take some time off our busy schedules and enjoy some of the nearby best kept hangout spots where you can appreciate some of the finest cappuccinos and brunch grubs around Singapore. What I really like about Singapore is that there will always be cool cafes that you can capture. It seems to me that some of the weekend visits would not require you to open any VSCO or Snapseeds, because these coffee and bar places got you and your Instagram story feed covered. On your next trip, check out these places, at least once, for some virtuous food and truly good coffee!

Opening Hours: Mon – Fri 11:00 A.M. – 10:00 P.M Sat 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 P.M. Sun 10:00 A.M. – 10:00 P.M.

The Spaghetti ($24) was probably a safe appetising choice, though I also hoped the dish had a more characteristic name. The former was a likeable update to the familiar “Suan Pan Zi”. The different colours represent the ingredients of beetroot, sweet potato, yam, purple sweet potato, each with its own character and subtle difference (oh, imagine the effort that went into making them). Cooked with dried shrimp, foie gras and cured pork, I also liked how it was “Asian” and presented in an elegant-European way.  ......
