Artease

#1 ARTEASE

Artease specialises in teas, and you can expect unique concoctions such as Caramel Popcorn (regular – S$4, large – S$5) and Iced Honey Espresso (S$4.50).

The Caramel Popcorn (Salty) comprises a harmonious blend of caramel, milk, roasted rice tea and sea salt; a sweet rendition is available too. If you want an effective pick-me-up, the Iced Honey Espresso (S$4.50) is amazing. The coffee is intense and the added honey gives the drink the right amount of sweetness.

Artease’s selection of cooked-to-order sandwiches is especially popular amongst the working crowds here. For the month of October, Artease is offering two new sandwiches with their homemade jams—Earl Grey and Matcha Jam Toast—for only S$2 (U.P. S$2.80).

BreadTalk

#2 BREADTALK

16-year-old local bakery BreadTalk is a household name that needs no elaborate introduction. The Singaporean brand prides itself on constant innovation and boasts a collection of classic and contemporary bread created from the finest craftsmanship.

This month, the brand is launching a series of never-seen-before gourmet bread creations that will whet your appetite.

Din Tai Fung

#3 DIN TAI FUNG

Hailing from Taiwan, Chinese restaurant Din Tai Fung is world-famous for their exquisite steamed pork dumplings. Each Xiao Long Bao is a masterpiece; they undergo six preparatory stages and the most complex step involves the chef pleating at least 18 intricate folds on the dumplings.

The comprehensive menu features over 100 dishes and bestsellers include the Oriental Salad in Special Vinegar Dressing (S$4.50++), nutritious Steamed Chicken Soup (S$10.80++), Fried Rice with Shrimps and Eggs (S$12.80++) and everyone’s all-time favourite Steamed Pork Dumplings (S$10.30++ for 10 pieces, S$7.80++ for 6 pieces).

Everton Creamery

#4 EVERTON CREAMERY

The popular ice cream joint at Everton Park has an outlet here at BreadTalk IHQ and we cannot be more thrilled because it is now nearer to us! The two-year-old ice cream brand produces handcrafted gelato with natural ingredients and abstains from artificial enhancers and chemical preservatives; think intense, thick and creamy texture that explodes with flavours.

Choose from 16 different rotational flavours (single scoop – S$4.80, double scoop – S$8), and an additional S$0.50 will be charged for premium flavours. We especially enjoyed the classic Pistachio, the all-new Mocha Crunch, and the interesting Taiji YuanYang (a mixture of peanut butter and black sesame to mimic traditional glutinous rice balls or ‘tang yuan‘).

We say have the “full works”—The Belgian Waffle (S$9.30) comes with a single scoop of ice cream).

Food Republic

#5 FOOD REPUBLIC

Food Republic is probably the most popular food court in Singapore. There are numerous outstanding vendors that you have to try—namely Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo, Li Xin Teochew Fishball Noodles and Sergeant Hainanese Chicken Rice.

The Sergeant Hainanese Chicken Rice is a household name and the Yuan Yang Chicken Rice Set (S$7.50) is a treat. Li Xin Teochew Fishball Noodles’ Signature Dry Fishball Noodles (S$4.30) is a traditional favourite, and the bowl of al dente noodles and springy fishballs is one that we can never get sick of.

Why not order a piping hot bowl of Yong Tau Foo Soup (S$5.20) from Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo too? The price includes six ingredients and your choice of noodles, or seven pieces of yong tau foo. Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo also does a splendid Chee Cheong Fun (S$2.40 for two pieces).

RamenPlay

#6 RAMENPLAY

RamenPlay is another brand by BreadTalk that has enjoyed popularity since its debut. Expanding their line of ramen bowls and donburi, RamenPlay is also serving Shabu Shabu now and you can pick from either pork (S$13.90) or beef (S$14.90) with two soup choices (clear or kimchi).

Since the area during lunch is catered to mainly working professionals, RamenPlay has also launched bento sets for a quick grab-and-go. Our favourites are Pork Yakiniku Bento Set (S$8.80) and Teriyaki Chicken Bento Set (S$8.80).

Paired with fragrant Premium Koshihikari Rice imported from Niigata, Japan, the Bento Sets make for a delicious and value-for-money lunch choice.

From now till 31 October 2016, RamenPlay is offering its Cha Shu Tonkotsu Ramen in a spicy broth. Enjoy 25% off selected sides with every order of Cha Shu Tonkotsu Ramen!

Toast Box

#7 TOAST BOX

Toast Box has successfully combined nostalgia and modernity into an Asian cafe concept. The homegrown eatery draws inspiration from coffee shops in the 60s and takes pride in serving aromatic traditional Nanyang Kopi (S$1.80).

While we love our Kaya Toasts, the Curry Chicken with Rice (S$7.70 per set, inclusive of Homemade Barley) set is actually a gem and an underrated find! The Hainanese-style curry reminds us of home, and it is precisely such simple goodness that we know we can always count on.

The all-new Cheesy Ham & Egg Thick Toast (S$6.10 per set, inclusive of a hot medium size Kopi/ Teh) reminded us of a French Croque Madame but with an Asian tweak. The pillowy white toast is topped with ham, egg and melted cheese.
