8 Unconventional Cafes In Singapore For Asian-Inspired Brunch

Must-try: The Chili Crab Burger (pictured) is a brilliant preview of Singapore’s culinary pride – you guessed it – chilli crab. The breaded crab cake patty is generously stuffed with blue swimmer crab and served with a luscious, spicy-sweet chili crab sauce.

Must-try: The Ramen Risotto is a creamy dish bursting with the rich, umami flavours of Japanese Tonkotsu (pork bone), adorned with kurobuta pork that almost melts in your mouth. Finish with the Berry Muffcake (pictured), a brilliant muffin-hotcake hybrid that definitely hits the sweet spot.

Must-try: The Chili Crab Pasta (pictured) is yet another take on Singapore’s national dish: al-dente pasta is coated with sweet-savoury chili crab sauce that boasts a little spicy kick, with generous chunks of fresh crab meat to go along. Mop up the rest of the sauce with the deep-fried golden mantou (buns).

Must-try: The Fried Chicken with Pancakes (pictured) is complemented with a homemade sweet chili sauce that’s reminiscent of Singapore Sambal (hot chili sauce). The Croque Tambi is another crowd favourite, a curried omelette that’s been around Asia – sriracha, Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise, pan-seared Scarmoza cheese… served with a side of raita, Indian-style salad.

NEXT: Tai Cheong Bakery →

Must-try: When this Hong Kong cha chaan teng (tea house) favourite hit Singapore’s shores, it saw snaking queues that never subsided, even during non-peak hours. And when you tuck into their delightfully creamy scrambled eggs, egg tarts (they’ve even got Durian-flavoured ones!) and more, you’ll agree that it’s worth the wait.
