Bukit Timah is a prominent location in Singapore is somehow called the “rich man’s area”, lined with several properties of high land value.
Other than being known for its bungalows, high rise condominiums, many expatriates who live in this district, elite schools, the Bukit Timah Race Course, and Downtown Line 2, let’s not forget about the food.
It is also home to many characteristic cafes, which are housed in Cluny Court, Serene Centre, Crown Centre, Bukit Timah Plaza, Beauty World and King Albert Park.

Sugarhaus
10 Jalan Serene, #01-03a, Serene Centre S(258748)
Tel: +656314 2247
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon – Thurs, Sun) 11am – 11pm (Fri, Sat)
Ice Cream, Cakes and Steak
Galaxy with a difference. This comes with Taro. Sugargaus’ Taro Galaxy ($8.80 per slice) comes with a stunning galaxy mirror glaze over layers of taro sponge and swiss meringue buttercream.
Though I found this slightly too sweet for my liking, so not exactly yum-yum for me.I expected that taro layer to be softer and more moist (even like orh nee), which would bring the overall taste a level up.
Plus point: their cakes are supposedly made traditionally from scratch without using any pre-mix.
Sugarhaus transforms into Fat Belly after 6pm, serving Flat Iron and Short Rib.

Atlas Coffeehouse
6 Duke’s Road, Singapore 268886 (Botanic Gardens MRT)
Opening Hours: 8am – 7pm (Tue – Sun), Closed on Mon
Third Wave Coffee And Hearty Nosh
This is a really popular brunch spot, so much so that my friends far away from Bukit Timah will purposely travel all the way there. Atlas Coffeehouse is helmed by the team behind Assembly Coffee, and the name is the acronym for At-Land-Air-Sea. The interior reflects part of the theme.
At las(t), not the usual repetitive brunch fares seen in the usual cafes. Presentation is straight-forward and it is evident that they’re steering away from just being ‘Instagram-worthy’.
Loads of interesting brunch items, from Salmon Soba Noodles ($18), Creamy Mushrooms on Sourdough ($14.00) and an ATLAS Superbowl ($18.00) filled with roasted quinoa, umami miso eggplant, crispy kale, shimeiji mushrooms, marinated cherry tomatoes, torched butter corn, and roasted rosemary chicken.

Delicious Wholesome Bread With No Artificial Food Flavourings
Located at Crown Centre along Bukit Timah Road, Crown Bakery & Cafe serves artisanal breads without the use of artificial food flavouring, colouring and preservatives.
Under the guidance of Master Baker Katsuei Shiga who had more than 40 years of baking experience from Signifiant Signifié, Japan’s top- notch artisanal bakery, Crown Bakery offers a fusion of Japanese’s baking expertise and European- styled breads.
Amongst the artisanal bread, I loved aromatic tea leaves scent of the Shizuoka Matcha Brioche ($3.20) and Earl Grey Cashew Brioche ($3). The bricohes were soft, fluffy and moist with distinct and non overpowering matcha and earl grey taste. Crown Bakery & Cafe (Bt Timah)

Ocean’s Thirteen (loved that movie by the way) came on a platter with varied colours like a coral reef within an ocean.
The salmon was topped with 2 nicely poached eggs runny yolks and the brilliant use of beetroot yogurt gave it a refreshing taste. Rise and Grind (Bt Timah)

One of the best sellers is the Lobster Risotto ($38), in which the shop claims that Goh Chok Tong have left the plate spotless after trying this particular dish.
Cooked in lobster broth and topped with succulent lobster and scallop chunks, I liked the kitchen did not stinge on the seafood, and gave a portion likely sufficient for two to share. EagleWings Loft (King Albert Park)
