This cafe-bistro in Upper Thomson is a hipster cafe that appeals to both young and old.

Tuck into items such as Blur Like Sotong ($10), calamari rings with aioli; an Aubergine Stack ($12), a delicious vegetarian dish of panko-crumbed slices of eggplant served with grilled vegetables and addictive housemade potato crisps; brunch items; pastas and burgers.

The Straits Times Food correspondent Rebecca Lynne Tan says: “For an Instagram-worthy picture (hashtag us #stfoodtrending), order the Handsome Burg ($20). The name of the dish is a cheeky take on Malay slang for a good-looking chap. This hearty beef burger, drizzled with a punchy sambal-like peanut sauce, comes in a soft rainbow bagel.”

You might also like to try its signature drink, the Word Concoction ($7), a drink made with ice-cream soda, lemongrass, mint and sour plum, in a light bulb for a glass.

6. The Malayan Council
image

Right across from Abdul Gaffoor Mosque in Dunlop Street is a restaurant called The Malayan Council that serves fantastic food.

The Straits Times Life Editor Tan Hsueh Yun picked the restaurant’s Roti Kirai Beef Ribs ($39) and one of the best dishes of 2016.

She says the picture-perfect dish – a bone-in rib, with two lacy pancakes folded neatly into triangles leaning on it, looks instantly appetising and not just to caveman types.

“The rendang-like gravy, nuanced and perfectly spiced, makes me go back again and again with my spoon, to try and figure out what is in it,” she adds.

It is a substantial portion that is good for two.

Also try the ondeh ondeh cake ($8) – soft, nubbly pandan cake layered with bits of gula melaka and sprinkled all over with grated coconut, served with a scoop of ice cream that compensates for the slight dryness of the cake.

Where: 22 Dunlop Street

Open: 11.30 am to 11 pm (weekdays), 11 am to 11 pm (weekends)

Info: Call 9002 4414
