While most would still be focused on all the new things to do and see in Jewel Changi Airport, this June, we are shifting our gaze away to look at all the new openings that are worthy of a stopover in the rest of the country.

We found creative dishes such as a fish fillet prepared with Twisties, as well as a durian-centric cafe, a garden-themed hideaway, and a new bubble tea concept place. Here are 10 new openings we think are worthy of your calories.

CAMACA

Camaca is a sugar-free dessert cafe, serving up indulgent treats that come without the guilt, along with a wide selection of single-origin coffees. The deceiving giant macarons on display are just packaging for the gelato inside, keeping the gelato from turning too icy so it maintains a smooth texture. They even have a special machine to “de-shell” their gelato and to churn it out in a swirl after.

CAFE DE NICOLE’S FLOWER

A dog-friendly cafe that is a gorgeous addition to garden-themed F&Bs is Cafe De Nicole’s Flower. The scent of fresh flora hits you first as you enter and settle in for their all-day brunch meals such as Nicole’s Favours which features avocado toast. They also have Souffle Pancakes, Waffles, healthy and light Acai Bowls, as well as Flower Teas to wash it all down. Dried or fresh flowers decorate most of the desserts and drinks you can order.

MOLTEN DINERS

Molten Diners is located along Upper Thomson which most would be familiar with for its stretch of cafe finds. Its bright orange signboard leads you into the Western restaurant that offers creative dishes. ”The Twist” Lava Golden Crispy Fish Fillet is made from real Twisties if you wish to relive a taste of childhood. Their Katsu Curry Chicken Schnitzel marries Japanese flavours and Australian-style meat which you can add on a small side of pasta to.

MS DURIAN

Durian dessert lovers can flock to Ms Durian for a sweet and indulgent fix. Their MSW Durian Mousse Cake is made of fresh Mao Shan Wang durian with crunchy gula melaka, topped with lightly-salted macadamia nuts. It is a light and smooth treat with a spongey base. For something easy to take with you on the go, their Durian Craquelins are freshly baked craquelin choux filled with creamy D24 Durian.

PENGUIN’S KITCHEN

Penguin’s Kitchen is tucked away in Serangoon and is a tranquil spot for Thai food. One of their many affordable menu items is their their Stir Fried Hot Basil Pork Rice which has a side of minced pork that is generously fried with red chilli and basil alongside a mound of rice that is blanketed by a runny fried egg. As a pairing, try their Deep fried Crab meat Ngoh Hiong which are served in sets of five pieces per plate.

THE AFFOGATO LOUNGE

The Affogato Lounge along Keong Saik Road is conceptualised after The Affogato Bar at Cluny Court and features alcohol-infused affogatos, along with light bites and ice-creams. Their alcoholic Tiramisu is served with a double shot of Ozone Coffee Roasters’ Paramount and house-blend rum. The sponge soaks up the alcohol-infused coffee giving the dessert a strongly caffeinated and boozy kick.

THE ALLEY LUXE

The Alley Singapore unveiled their first-of-its-kind premium lifestyle cafe concept store in Cineleisure Orchard. Most iconic at The Alley Luxe is their Brown Sugar Deerioca Series but equally Instagrammable are their Aurora Series and Garden Milk Tea. On that note, we also recommend their Snow Velvet Peach Oolong Tea for a fragrant thirst quencher. Along with their beverages are European bakes such as gourmet croissants, cruffins, and kouign-amann.

WISHES CAFE

A hidden gem situated in the residential area of MacPherson is Wishes Cafe, selling creamy gelatos and fluffy waffles. They offer several unique gelato flavours including Avocado, Thai Milk Tea, Mint Tea, Peary Ginger, and Kumquat Sorbet. We dare say that the matcha gelato here could compete with the other big names in Singapore. Pair them with buttermilk waffles which we found to be deliciously dense yet pillowy.
