10 Classic Dishes You Will Find In Almost Every Cafe

Coke Cafe Food

Singapore’s cafe scene is thriving, with new ones popping up like daisies every now and then. They can be found all over Singapore – in more populated areas in town and at the fringe of town, and much more in residential areas.

But despite the different selection of cuisines these cafés offer, there are some dishes that are just too popular to be left out that cafe owners have to put them on their menus; think pancakes, pasta, and truffle fries.

Let’s see if you agree that the following are 10 Classic Dishes You Will Find In Almost Every Cafe in Singapore?

Nassim Hill Pancakes with Coke


#1 PANCAKE


Pancakes have always been a thing with cafes. They come in both sweet and savoury options, though the former is more common. You will find them paired with bananas or berries, drenched in sweet, thick maple syrup, and topped with whipped cream or icing sugar or ice cream.

Banana Brulee Waffle


#2 WAFFLE


Waffles have seen many waves of makeovers. Cafes in Singapore have recently been spicing things up by pairing them with savoury toppings such as fried chicken and bacon. Otherwise, waffles are typically paired with scoops of ice cream and a sauce.

Pizza with Coke


#3 PIZZA


Pizzas are all-time comfort food and it has made its way into all of our hearts, and into many cafe menus as well!

While cafes are all sorts of drinks on the menu, honestly, no pizza meal is complete without a can of ice-cold Coke light®. It helps to refresh your palate in between bites, and who does not enjoy the thirst-quenching fizzles of Coke paired with the rich and savoury flavours of pizzas?

Eggs Benedict


#4 EGGS BENEDICT


Looks like Eggs Benedict is not going out of trend anytime soon. While it may be a ubiquitous cafe dish, Eggs Benedict remains a favourite because the creaminess of runny yolk and Hollandaise sauce is one so addictive. The more innovative cafe owners use alternative ingredients such as roast beef and pulled pork.

PS-Truffle-Fries


#5 TRUFFLE FRIES


There was (or still is) a time when people went crazy over truffle fries. They can be found on almost any cafe’s menu you will ever find, and even though the standards vary, they are probably the most common dish.

Of course, the unrivalled satisfaction comes from the pairing of fries and the bubbling fizz of an ice-cold Coke®. Talk about happiness amidst simplicity!

Salted caramel rainbow cake


#6 RAINBOW CAKE


Rainbow cakes took Singapore by storm some two to three years ago, and though the hype has died down, cafes are not removing it from their menus yet. Look into the display fridges of cafes and you might just find a variation of this rainbow-hued dessert.

Nutella French Toast


#7 FRENCH TOAST


French Toasts are what we always order when in cafes! Often served as a brunch item, cafe owners have been putting different spins on the classic breakfast number, often pairing them with bananas, strawberries and ice cream.


Pasta with Coke


#8 PASTA


We turn to pasta dishes when we need something filling. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer cream-based or tomato-based pasta, because cafes these days have options aplenty.

A plate of good pasta should be cooked al dente and tossed in quality sauce – to balance the rich and sometimes creamy taste, have it with a glass of refreshing, icy Coke light®.

EwF Burger with Coke


#9 BURGER


Cafes are bringing their burger games to a whole new level. We are not talking about fast food chain-standard burgers, but towering ones with juicy patties and melty cheese, sauces and the likes.

And of course, what goes better with burgers than a glass of chilled Coke®? The fizzy, uplifting sensation perfectly complements a full-bodied burger, and brightens our days anytime!

Salted Egg Yolk Croissant with Coke


#10 SALTED EGG YOLK ANYTHING


From croissants to waffles and French Toasts, most cafes these days have at least one dish with salted egg yolk as the key ingredient. It is all the rage and we are glad this trend is going strong!

Our favourite indulgence includes salted egg yolk croissants, and when the thick and cheesy goodness is paired with the refreshing sensation of a glass of Coke®, that is when our afternoons are made.
