New Restaurants

Bar Milano
A slice of Europe in Keong Saik, that’s exciting enough for me to check out Bar Milano, a one month old causal Italian Bistro and Cocktail Bar. The restaurant is opened all day and serves a breakfast and evening menu. The dinner menu is quite concise, made up of a good variety of starters, a couple of pizza and mains options, and a small dessert selection. Pizza Fritta Truffle Mushroom is a must order, Napoli style fried pizza. [Read more here…]

Leckerbaer
While we can’t get to Copenhagen now, we have Leckerbaer. Known for its traditional Danish butter cookies (småkager), the Danish brand opened its first overseas outpost right in the heart of Orchard Road at Isetan Scotts. The open concept space on level 1 is a good respite from shopping, and this is where you can enjoy some of its classic offerings like various flavours of småkager, Signature Lemon & Sea Buckthorn Tart, Summer Sundae, along with a concise list of savouries like Peas & Avocado Tart and Quiche Tart. Beverage options include housemade lemonades, and hot and cold brew blend teas by artisan tea blender Art of Tea.

Daizu Cafe
The few weeks old cafe at Rangoon Road spots a minimalist look, and a rare loft cafe space which used to be the now-defunct Jewel Cafe & Bar. The Japanese-Western fusion menu is a mix of pastries, cakes and of course, coffee. Brunch is served after 11am, and the dishes take on some hints of Japanese influence like the Lemon Miso Eggs Benedict, Garlic Butter Sakura Ebi pasta, and various rice bowls like Torched Mentaiko Salmon.

C Cafe
Located right beside Homeground Coffee, the one week old C Cafe is more than just a game of cards. The contemporary looking cafe has some tricks up their sleeves, and you can feel that energy from the team whom co-founders are magic enthusiasts. The menu is a mix of toasts, avocado toast, waffle, salad and a couple of sides like spam fries and truffle fries.
