Breakfast food by itself is already great, but having them while sitting in a pretty yet tastefully decorated cafe makes the experience a whole lot better. Grids & Circles is a relatively new face in Chinatown which boasts a multi-concept space in which it is a restaurant-bar. This edgy cafe takes only cashless payments and is a sight to behold for all minimalists.
If you have read this far, I believe it is safe to say you are a certified breakfast food lover and you love your eggs. At Grids & Circles, you will be in for an eggcellent treat with their Tamago. Enveloped between two toasted buns is a light and fluffy Tamago egg. The pear sauce and konbu mayonnaise bring the extra flavours to life that will leave you wanting for more. The Strawberry Wonderland is a stack of dense and thick Japanese pancakes topped with fresh strawberries, strawberry compote, Chantilly cream and basil mint sauce. Perfect for the sweet tooth!

Clinton Street Baking Company first started operations in the bustling streets of New York City and quickly gained recognition for their American classics, especially their fluffy stack of pancakes which are more often than not mentioned in food blogs and magazines alike. Today, you no longer have to book a flight to the States for a taste of authentic NYC brunch food when it is now available at Purvis Street in the sunny island of Singapore, making it the first outlet in all of South-East Asia.
A must-try, must-have and must-get at this breakfast heaven is their Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter which are beaten up extra fluffy and soft while still capturing the deep flavour of butter and sugar. These highly raved pancakes are not only labelled customer’s favourites but are voted not once but twice as the best pancakes in New York Times magazine! Even better, these gorgeous stacks come with a topping of your choice: blueberries, banana walnuts or chocolate chunks.
If you prefer eggs over flour for breakfast, the Clinton St. Omelette is the one for you. Looking like a dream, the omelette is soft and cooked to a perfect golden yellow. Again, you can decide on two ingredients you would like to have with your morning eggs. Some fillings to choose from include cheddar, caramelised onions, spinach, tomatoes, bacon and ham.

Wildseed Cafe boasts a casual hangout concept and is parked at the first level of a colonial bungalow space at The Oval @ Singapore Aerospace Park.

The Grilled Chicken Thigh is a chef recommendation where the meat is sous vide before slowly grilled to perfection to achieve a tender chicken thigh that is well-infused with robust flavours. For vegetarians, you can opt for Wildseed Garden Arrabiata which features penne pasta, tomatoes, mushrooms, homemade mango pickle baby corn and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to top it all off.

Forty Hands brings you artisanal coffee blends and Western-style breakfast to your table at the heart of Tiong Bahru. Nestled between residential buildings, tall galleries and book stores lies the homely and cosy yet bustling cafe.

As its name suggests, the Big Boy Breakfast consists of a plateful of organic smoked beef sausage, grilled tomatoes, mushroom ragout, organic bacon, flatbread with sour cream, creamy scrambled free-range eggs and a dollop of beef bolognese as a dipping sauce. If you wish for something lighter, get the Stinky Har Cheong Gai Waffle (not stinky at all, we promise you!), which brings together a sinful harmony of shrimp paste batter-fried chicken with sambal maple syrup & a perfect sunny side up. In the midst of these Western dishes, Forty Hands has also included a local touch to their menu with the classic Tau Sar Pau and Kong Bak Pau, to relive your childhood days.
