Whenever I find myself in Joo Chiat in the morning, I’m always spoilt for choice. But one dish usually reigns supreme—Mr and Mrs Mohgan’s Super Crispy Prata.

As the name suggests, the crisp factor is unreal, and trust me, one is never enough. My go-to order? A kosong + telur combo. The default comes with fish curry, but here’s a pro tip: ask for a side of sambal with ikan bilis. The combination of fish curry + sambal with prata? Absolutely next-level comfort food.

As a non-coffee drinker, I have been keeping an eye out for Big Short Coffee’s specialty tea, as there is usually one available on their seasonal menu. Hence, seeing the latest selection from the Winter 2025, I knew I had to try Yeast Coast ($9) which was essentially a sweet potato milk tea with a lusciously umami cheese cap and crisp brulee. Think Japanese purple sweet potato puree, with tangy koji fermented rice mochi, assam black tea, fresh milk, finished with yummy wildflower rare honey cheese cream and a fun layer of caramelized sugar at the very top. It's not too sweet and is pretty satisfying.

For dessert, the Flan y Café ($12) might look unassuming but the highlight was the utterly yummy cortado coffee infused cream. Paired with the sweet (but not cloying) Spanish caramel pudding, the airy cream was surprisingly aromatic and nicely complements the firm silky-creamy flan.

Another small plate we got was the Paella del Día ($26). The Paella of the day was well-seasoned tender pork ribs with mushrooms. Savoury and wonderfully earthy, just umami. The grains were beautifully done too - overall flavourful with some crisp, slightly charred bits and not too wet or dry.
