Chye Seng Huat ⚙️
Nestled at the ground level of The Summerhouse is delightful the Wildseed, a floral café and patisserie where summer lingers through the scent-filled days. Wildseed Cafe offers freshly roasted coffee, delectable sandwiches, floral cakes, pastries, hearty weekend brunches and casual, all-day fare.The nursery-like environment is decked with a myriad of potted and hanging plants that fills the indoor air-conditioned garden dining space and the breezy outdoor pet-friendly area.
Located at Chip Bee Gardens and just a few minutes away from Holland Village MRT station, Sunday Folks is a cafe that serves mouth-watering desserts and taste-kicking coffee. They offer a variety of cakes, waffles, ice cream, and more. Sunday Folks is the perfect place to head to satisfy your sweet food cravings. They carefully prepare their products, from the selection of raw natural ingredients to the making of homemade toppings, to ensure freshness and achieve the perfect taste that will satisfy everyone’s taste buds.
Of course, a Safari-themed café will get a lot of café-hoppers heading down, especially when it is opened by Tiong Bahru Bakery. Best opportunity to take a-pretend-#OOTD shot without heading down to Africa or to the Singapore Zoological Gardens. Tiong Bahru Bakery has gone on the “wild side” and has set up camp in Dempsey, right next to Open Farm Community at Minden Road. Founder of Tiong Bahru Bakery Ms Cynthia Chua, was inspired most recently by her trip to the African safari in Botswana, specifically Selinda Camp and Gomoti Plains Camp.
PS.Café at Harding Road on Dempsey Hill offers fusion cuisine in a gorgeous setting. Glass walls allow diners to gaze down upon rolling slopes descending into the jungle, temporarily transporting them far away from the crowded metropolis around them. Al fresco is also an option. The desserts are fantastic and regulars recommend going light on the meal to save room for dessert.
Built in a former hardware store, Chye Seng Huat is next to a church and a Buddhist monastery, and down the street from several Hindu temples. It’s probably just a coincidence but we like to think that the coffee at this Kallang cafe is part of the reason everyone gets along. You’ll see pancakes or the sticky fig pudding on most tables - and they should be on yours too - but their wagyu beef burger is highly underrated. Check out the coffee lab in the back, then sit in the courtyard and think up your best “a priest, a monk, and a pujari walk into a coffee shop” joke.
