Is it me or is 2015 just flying past us? It is already AUGUST. (Hello Singapore’s National Day.) As earlier predicated, the trending food In Singapore this year continues to be shibuya toasts, matcha-anything, bingsu and cold brews. Can we now add hot cakes and éclairs?

Opening Hours: 9.30am – 9.30pm (Mon-Sun)
We can imagine Japanese tai tais loving the space here. Patties & Wiches (the shop’s name comes from burger-patties and sand-wiches) serves an agglomeration of Japanese pastries from various Japanese F&Bs in Singapore such as Asanoya Bakery and Chef Yamashita. Plus a Western twist. The highlights include a $55 Wagyu Burger, Chef Yamashita’s Mont Blanc, and the must-try Fumi Araya Chou-Pop ($3) which comes in 5 different flavours.

Watanabe Coffee

Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon-Sun)
After Patties & Wiches, Japanese tai tais can take a stroll down to Shaw Centre for Watanabe Coffee. This is the second branch of Wa Café’s, which has been a well-kept ‘secret’ at the basement of Chnatown Point. We were excited about their selection of matcha (finely grounded green tea leaves) desserts and drinks: Matcha and Ogura Shibuya Toast ($16.80), Japanese Matcha Parfait ($13.80), Matcha Pudding ($8.20), Matcha Shake ($9), Matcha Latte ($7.80) and Matcha Roll Cake ($8.20).

31 Club Street #01-02 Singapore 069468
Opening Hours: 8am – 5pm
CBD friends, need a caffeine fix? Stamping Ground Coffee located on Club Street (somewhere near Spizza) provides takeaway coffee and beverages. The Cold Brews in glass bottles ($6 for black, $7) with smooth texture and slightly fruity taste, have become one of the most popular items here. They sell out fast. To provide an alternative to non-coffee drinkers, homemade bottled drinks such as Chia Seed Pomegranate ($6), Chia See Honey Yuzu ($6), Orange Juice ($6) and Almond Nut Milk ($8).

More Bingsu Cafes. How many can there be? BiBing means Bibimbap + Bingsu. 진짜. Their signature Jinjja The BiBim ($18) was remodelled like a real bibimbap (Korean mixed rice) using fruits of various colours as toppings instead. The egg yolk was created using a slice of mango whereas the egg white was made from yogurt. (Read BiBing Chinatown Smith Street)

Bukit Merah Central gets more happening. After cafes such as Butter Studio, The Bakery Chef and Pan Delights, Ice Cream Shack joins in the neighbourhood. Ice Cream Shack prides itself for making gelato fresh onsite with low fat and sugar content, with selection of localised flavour, such as Salted Egg Yolk (I thought this was too heavy so didn’t choose it), Yam, Sea Salt Gula Melaka, D24 Durian, Sarsi Float, Fresh Coconut, and Mai Pian – that is cereal ice cream. ‘Cereal prawn’ cereal.
