Fresh Fruits Lab: Our New Favourite Cafe in The East of Singapore

by / No Comments

Fresh Fruits Lab Singapore

We’ve always griped about the fact that cafes are all about unhealthy food that are packed with sins, and all that talk about balanced diets almost does not exist. Most of the time, all we get is some sad-looking arugula on the side that honestly looks less appetising than grass, and we have reached the point of giving up on having our dose of fibre at cafes.

Then, Fresh Fruits Lab (FFL) at Changi Road came along, and we found hope all over again. This cafe is all about inculcating fresh fruits into their food and drinks! Well, as its name suggests, it prides itself as a heaven for all fruits lovers.

The whole space is fully utilised, with colours everywhere, and very artistic. Quirky displays fill the cafe, and we love how it feels like a hippy laboratory with the many apparatus on display. Even the drinks are served in test tubes and conical flasks!

22 Cafes in The East of Singapore You Must Go To

Fresh Fruits Lab Singapore

We shared our favourites cafes and best-kept secrets in the West of Singapore previously, and today, we will let you in on our picks from the East. There are gelato bars, coffee studios, kids-friendly cafes, cake lovers’ heaven and so many more.

Characteristic and thematic in their own rights, these finds make great hang-out places and some are already our regular haunts. Some are a stone’s throw from town, and they are alternatives to go to when you need to get away from the crazy crowd. Else, there are cosy units that serve burgers and truffle fries that pack a punch. And we won’t say no to more options for our daily cuppa.

The East is a lovely enclave of artisan finds, serious brews and comforting brunch food. We are real advocators of quality over quantity, so while there may be hundreds of names out there, we really prefer sticking to the ones we know we can count on for good food and drinks.

We will update our list from time to time, but for a start, here is our Guide to the best cafes in the East of Singapore:

Carvers & Co East Coast Road Singapore

Carvers & Co Cafe

No lack of dining options if you are at the Katong neighbourhood, and there are always new diners and cafes spouting out. But Carvers & Co got our attention for their concise and highly-raved menu. It does not have a fancy decor to boast of, but it seems they are a comfort for many residents.

They’ve got different menus for weekdays and weekends, and even lunch and dinners differ. The deals on weekends are surely more enticing, and you can expect dishes like Truffle Eggs on Toast (S$15) and Earl Grey French Toast (S$16).

Tian Kee & Co: Old-School Provision Shop-Turned-Cafe Singapore

Tian Kee Co

Like going back in time and stepping in to an old Singapore; so surreal, with hints of nostalgia.

Tian Kee & Co is nestled within the old estate of Dakota, and its rural setting exudes an old charm that is so rare in the present Singapore. When we first drove past the unassuming block of low-rise flats, we saw a lovely sight – simple but traditional-looking monochrome signboard, wooden high table and seats, and ceiling fans. We knew we were going to like this retro concept.

Snow Colors Dessert Bar Introduces Snow Ice Waffles in Singapore

Snow Colors Waffles

We have always been a fan of snow ice. This popular Taiwanese dessert – made of ribbons of flavoured ice topped with fresh fruits – is an indulgence, and a much-needed treat to combat Singapore’s weather.

Snow Colors Dessert & Bar – a simple, no-frills dessert shop located at the ground floor of Katong Plaza, just directly opposite the famous 328 Katong laksa – has brought this popular dessert to the next level by combining it with waffles. Brilliant move, we’d say.

A glorious mountain of snow ice piled atop piping hot and crispy waffle – It is like having the best of both worlds! We are surprised that no one had thought of this combination earlier. The other options include Waffles with butter and maple syrup (S$4), Waffles with fruits (S$7.50), and Waffles with snow ice & fruits (S$8.50). Go for the full works; it is satisfying as it is pretty. And the best part? No exorbitant price tags.

Mango Ice

Waffles aside, Snow Colors offers quite an array of snow ice desserts (S$6) – from everyone’s favourite mango shaved ice, to the popular D24 durian snow ice with durian puree, Japanese matcha snow ice paired with red beans, and Chendol snow ice topped with candied red beans, green jelly and doused in gula melaka sauce.

The folks at Snow Colors are constantly testing new flavours in the kitchen, so we are looking forward to more interesting and creative creations from them. Snow Colors shares the same premise as Baba Peranakan, an eatery which dishes out earnest and affordable homecooked Peranakan cuisine. If you are in the Katong and Joo Chiat area, you must drop by for Peranakan food and cool down with an icy treat.
