Located in a charming heritage shophouse, this new cafe blends nostalgia with local character. Think old-school wooden furniture, vintage-style cabinets filled with “Good Morning” towels, and classic Singaporean icons like rickshaws. Because the space is housed in a conservation building, it took them a while to get the green light for certain renovations—but the results are worth the wait.Unlike their previous outlets, the Chinatown branch features several unique dishes. One standout was the Curry Mayo Fish & Chips (S$20.90), a recipe inspired by the co-founder’s mum. It came with perfectly golden, crispy battered fish that somehow stayed crunchy even after 30 minutes (we took a while with photos). The real star, though, was the house-made curry mayonnaise—creamy, fragrant, and with just the right kick of spice.Another brunch item I tried was the Crab Scrambled Eggs Tartine (S$17.90). Blue swimmer crab paired with silky scrambled eggs and a touch of Chinese chilli oil, served over a thick slice of rustic sourdough toast. The flavours were lovely, but the toast got a bit too tough after a while—I couldn’t finish it because it started scraping the inside of my mouth.This new outlet also offers store-exclusive bakes like the Kueh Salat Cake (S$9.80), Kopi Tiramisu Cake (S$8.80), and Honey Pear Chrysanthemum Cake (S$9.90).My favourite was the Kueh Salat Cake, which captured the essence of the traditional snack with a fragrant coconut cream layer. I did miss the glutinous rice layer that usually defines a kueh salat, but after chatting with the staff, I learned that it’s a challenge to incorporate into cake form. Fingers crossed for future R&D!

The Honey Pear Chrysanthemum Cake was delicate and subtly floral, with a soft, honeyed sweetness and juicy bits of pear. The chrysanthemum adds a nice herbal lift that balances the dessert and makes it feel light yet satisfying.
