Epicurious, Robertson Quay: My Worst Dining Experience Since 2010
Hyde & Co, Kampong Glam: Supporting Friends as Baristas of the Day
If the cafe is smart enough to harness the power of social media, it is also smart enough to create a well-roundedness of food, service, price, and decor. A good cafe on all counts. No GST, no service charge.
The Quarters, Icon Village Tanjong Pagar: Mod-Sin Cafe, Durian Creme Brulee, Buah Keluah Ice Cream
Chung Deming left his cushy finance job to start The Quarters at Icon Village, a cafe that serves modern Singaporean (mod-sin) food at affordable prices without gst or service charge. With no professional training but armed with loads of passion, he develops his ideas into recipes on his own. Almost everything, including dips, sauces, and ice creams, is made from scratch.

Bridge Cafe, Restaurant & Bar, Seah St: Weekend Brunch
Bridge Cafe at Seah St caters to people who want finer things at a lower cost, so all dishes are priced at $30 and below.

Chillax Cafe, Serangoon Garden: Waiter! There is a Chicken Wing in my Bloody Mary!
Chillax Cafe at Serangoon Gardens creates interesting combinations, such as giving wings to Bloody Mary. Gives you better absorption and keeps you high and dry all day long!
Murphy’s Cafe, Ang Mo Kio: Award-Winning Fish & Chips from UK since 1967
Murphy’s is an award-winning fish & chips shop from UK. After coming to Singapore, it became more like a cafe. But the fish-and-chips were so good I craved for it days after.
