From a farm to a park to even an airspace park, cafes in the North of the island are sure found in cool and curious places. Here are some of our favourites:
Completing the trio of eateries to look out for at Seletar Aerospace Park, this cafe, patisserie and bar sits on the ground level of The Summerhouse. The Weekday menu at the cafe includes Thai Chicken Noodle Salad and its signature Wildseed Garden Arrabiata, while the Dinner menu at the bistro & bar features bar snacks & sides, pizzas, pastas, burgers and grills, that will have you reaching for more.
At 3 Park Lane, Seletar Aerospace Park, Singapore 798387.
The reason why this dining spot is considered hidden? Simply because it is located inside a park. The food that’s gets dished out here are easy to appreciate: think Crabmeat Aglio Olio, Hawaiian Pizza, and a Chef Special, the Nippon Angus Beef Fillet. Aside from the all the greenery in the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park that you will find yourself in when you dine here (choose either to do so indoors or alfresco), pets are also welcome here, so bring Spot along!
At 1382 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, Bishan Park 2, Singapore 569931.
This cafe-cum-bakery‘s Rich Man burger is basically breakfast in burger form – buttered brioche buns sandwiching a hearty chorizo patty, sautéed mushrooms, caramelised onions, scrambled eggs with a punch of truffle mayo. Made several orders of magnitude more decadent by hot melted cheddar sauce to drizzle over your burger. Oh, and tater tots, just because.
At #01-13, 8 Jalan Legundi, Singapore 759274.
You’re here for the view as much as you are for the food. Owned by a vintage bicycle enthusiast, bikes aren’t the only mode of transport you’ll see here. Sat right by the dynamic Seletar Airspace, watch private jets and helicopters take off in plain (or plane) view as you bite on simple cakes and coffee.
At #01-01 MAJ Aviation Building, 80 Seletar Aerospace, Singapore 797563.
Tickle your tastebuds with hot and cold with this dessert parlour‘s creamy scoops of ice cream atop smoky cheddar cheese waffles. And, look out for seasonal flavours like the auspicious Melon-dollar, Japanese musk melon sherbet, during Chinese New Year.
At #01-291, 292 Yishun Street 22, Singapore 760292.
The up-market cousin of the famed Wheeler’s Yard cafe is slightly harder to get to – it’s housed in a colonial-era shophouse nestled amidst a calming breadth of green, formerly occupied by the Seletar Airspace – but it’s certainly easy to love. Try the Herb Crusted Barramundi, or the Tru Blu Burger that comes with a Wagyu patty served with red stone fries.
At 2 Park Lane, Seletar Aerospace Park, Singapore 798386.
Just next door to Wheeler’s Estate, brunch is a luxurious affair at this unique farm-to-table destination with faves like the Slow Cooked Iberico Fermin Pork Collar or the Miso Shiitake Linguine with grilled prawns. Feeling fancy (or hungry)? Or come dinnertime, treat yourself to The Summerhouse Kitchen Menu, featuring dishes such as 24 Hours Tajima Chuck Tender and Charcoal Grilled Slipper Lobster.
At 3 Park Lane, Seletar Aerospace Park, Singapore 798387.
Sometimes, simple satisfies: The small menu comprises grain bowls and the eponymous Thus Breakfast, your classic plate of big brekkie. That said, simple doesn’t mean stodgy at this humble coffee joint — beans are lovingly roasted in-house, yielding a fuller body.
At 4 Jalan Kuras, Singapore 577723.
Trust an eatery nestled in a farm to have the freshest food. The local-inspired menu features dishes like the Nasi Lemak Platter (Malay fragrant rice coloured blue with organic blue pea flowers), and while you shouldn’t expect anything fancy, they certainly taste farm-fresh and home-cooked with love.
At Bollywood Veggies, 100 Neo Tiew Rd, Singapore 719026.
