Knots Café and Living—a garden-themed cafe in Tai Seng—is opening its second outlet in the South of Singapore.

The new space is located at 102E Pasir Panjang Road, near to the former space vacated by the now-defunct Habitat by honestbee.

For those of you who haven’t been to Knots Café and Living before, it is an unassuming floral café opened by Xpressflower.com which is located amidst the bustling area of Tai Seng.

At first glance, you’d think Knots Cafe & Living is just a well-furbished furniture store. And, you wouldn’t be wrong. But, what do you know—they serve decent cafe food as well! Behind their mystical garden theme and woody aesthetic, their hidden kitchen dishes up classic brunch and Western fare.

Opt for a waffle twist to your usual brunch affair with the Knots Waffle Brekkie, which comes with smoked beef sausage, sautéed mushrooms and scrambled eggs. The Fish & Chips is a recommended dish as well which sees thick dory fillets breaded and fried to a golden crisp.

Have a cup of coffee, read a book or catch up with work while you are there.

The new Knots Café and Living outlet at Pasir Panjang Road is expected to open by mid Oct 2021 and it will feature a similar food menu but with more refined options.

There will also be a wider selection of wines available. They have plans to have an outdoor al fresco dining area, but it is still pending approval from the building’s management.

Kindly note that the photos are taken from Knots Café and Living’s current outlet at 160 Paya Lebar Road.

Nestled in the rows of busy shophouses at Pasir Panjang is 91PP, aptly named after the street it is on – 91 Pasir Panjang. It may seem unsuspecting but the many office-wear clad customers tell a different story.

91PP dishes out affordable lunch options for its hungry patrons such as their Meal Prep bowls and Pasta, and they are all under S$10! They also operate on a cashless system where you order your food on a mobile app, so there’s no need to bring along your wallets too.

At 91PP, they have an extensive selection of proteins, grains and other veggies and toppings for your Meal Prep bowl. Choose between two sizes—Small (S$6.80) or Medium (S$8.50)—before you add your toppings.

We chose to have their daily special, which was Baked Dory Fillet at the time. We also added a Hard Boiled Egg, Halved Avocado and their Mushroom Medley to a bed of Organic Red & Brown Rice.

The ingredients were all pretty fresh and paired well with one another. The Baked Dory Fillet was a tad salty on its own, but with the accompaniment of the rice, we didn’t have any qualms.

We also tried the Mentaiko Soft Shell Crab Pasta (S$8.90). Despite being relatively affordable, we definitely preferred this over our meal prep bowl. In Singapore’s cafe scene, a plate of good pasta below S$10 is a rare find.

We loved the generous amounts of garlic. It was slightly spiced, but not overwhelmingly so such that milder spice junkies wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.

The star of the show was the big portion of soft shell crab that was generously drizzled with a creamy mentaiko sauce. It was crispy and had a slightly sweet taste, not overpowered by the sauce it was coated in.

91PP serves up other popular items such as Mentaiko or Truffle Fries (S$6.90) and affordable wraps such as their Tenderloin & Cheese Wrap (S$4.50). Did we mention they have warm lava cakes too?
