Salted and Hung
Championing the minimum-waste policy, Salted and Hung is a contemporary Australian restaurant using every part of the animal, right from the skin to the bone. Under this noble philosophy, they make hearty lunches, and there are so many items on the menu we love. We recommend trying their Spanner Crab with white fungus and pistachio, Wagyu Pastrami Sandwich, Lamb Char Siew, and their IPA Sourdough with whipped lard and kelp butter. Any of their three desserts are top-notch and a must-try. - Image Credit: Salted and Hung Facebook Page
Ginett
The culinary expertise of Chef Sylvian Royer at Ginett pairs brilliantly with the myriad of French wines. With a glass of wine served at S$6, pair them with delicious, delicate food. This restaurant is perfect for those who love to dine out frequently. We love the brunches here and recommend you try their Lobster Bisque, Tiger Prawns with garlic, chilli & bacon, Bolognese, La Côte de Boeuf with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and ratatouille. - Image Credit: Ginett Singapore Facebook Page
King and the Pawn
How about a stiff cocktail, a plate of comfort food, and your friends playing board games? Pick from more than 300 games to play with your buddies at the aptly named cafe, King And The Pawn. Their grub is lip-smacking delicious, and we love their Popcorn Chicken Duo, Rosemary & Garlic Fries, Smoky BBQ Bacon Burger, and when the game gets too intense, Grilled Cheese Toast followed by a full glass of chilled beer. Win or lose, do stay back and order their Warm Toffee Cake and locally-roasted coffee. - Image Credit: King and the Pawn Facebook Page
Working Title - Burger Bar
While they’re still working on what to call their restaurant (working title) has most certainly decided to serve kickass burgers to Singaporeans. We are in awe of their juicy Holy Crab Burger with a sumptuous crab & prawn croquette patty with habanero salsa and aioli in a brioche bun. Their delicious Magic Truffle Mushroom burger is a good option for a vegetarian, and for meat lovers’ their Black Sheep and El Spicy Sombrero are worth every sinful bite. Do order their exceptional Truffle Tater Tots with your burger. - Image Credit: Working Title - Burger Bar Facebook Page

Steeped Tea Bar
Tea brewing is just as significant as coffee brewing. And all tea lovers, especially the ones at Steeped Tea Bar, will agree to this fact. Step into the tea bar and get your perfect cuppa, be it a cup of Chamomile, Lavender, or Sencha. They also do a fantastic job of blending alcohol with tea, and we love going back for their Lillet Blanc paired with Pear Brandy Oolong and Gin with Sencha Soursop Puree.
