The folks at BreakfastGrill seems to be at it again — having established their presence in the local F&B scene for quite a while with their very first location being their store along East Coast Road, the brand has certainly come a long way within their journey in the F&B scene here. They had subsequently opened a second location at Lorong Kilat in Beauty World — a neighbourhood that is well-affiliated with some of the most prominent cafes in the local F&B scene; they had also since opened a third outlet in the heart of the Central Business District as well. Situated at Guoco Tower, BreakfastGrill takes over the former location of the now-defunct outlet of Imakatsu there. The store features a clean, bright and minimalistic interior that is slightly more simply decked than their Lorong Kilat location; there are a mix of both window-facing seats and typical dining tables and chairs which caters to patrons visiting the establishment alone, in pairs or even in groups of four (4) pax. BreakfastGrill is perhaps best known for their Sammies, though the Guoco Tower outlet does also offer Bowls with customisable bases — there are also light bites, desserts and side dishes offered as well. Beverages available at BreakfastGrill’s Guoco Tower outlet is split into sections dedicated to Coffee and Others.
A visit to BreakfastGrill isn’t a complete one if one skips on their Sammies — having skimmed through the line-up of Sammies which they have to offer, we found ourselves going for the Sunday Cals; the menu describes the Sunday Cals Sammie to come with elements such as that of Egg Salad, Spam, Bacon Bits, American Cheddar and a house-made sour cream onion spread. This was definitely a Sammie that is fit for a comforting weekend brunch; sinking our teeth into the Sunday Cals Sammie, the toasted bread already provides a slight crusty texture on the outside for a bit of crispness. Coming with loads of egg salad, the egg salad is quite similar to that of egg mayonnaise that came with chopped up bits of egg — provides the sandwich with a creamier texture whilst also adding some bite to it. Mixed within would also be bacon bits that seemed to be shredded from actual strips of bacon that added yet another dimension of bite and a savoury note to the egg salad. The spam in between does give the Sammie a meatiness with a saltish-ness that one would typically expect out of cured meat; a slice of American Cheddar comes in the middle for an additional contrast of savouriness, while the house-made sour cream onion spread does help in making the elements in the Sammie gel with the toasted bread.
Word has gotten around that the location of Hvala at 100AM had recently been revamped into one that is called Halo — the Hvala concept that it had replaced being one that was known for serving up decaffeinated specialty coffee options which previously targeted the office workers around the Central Business District. With this revamp, the brand did revamp some parts of its interior to theme it after the Halo branding. Halo does seem to have gotten its name from the popular Filipino dessert names Halo-Halo; the establishment does have an emphasis on serving up specialty matcha as it has been for Hvala as well as Ube (i.e. purple yam) — Ube being one of the elements that is found in Halo-Halo as well. The menu at Halo is split into sections dedicated to Ube, Ube Cloud, Ube Dessert Latte, Tea, Coffee and Tisanes and Yuzu — the only food offerings that Halo offers are listed in the Pastries and Desserts section of the menu.
The description card placed in front of the item in the display fridge containing the various pastries and desserts that Halo has to offer describes the Ube Mochi Tart to come with elements such as Homemade Butterfly Tartshell, Ube Paste, Ube Filling, Mochi and Coconut Chantilly. Digging into the Ube Mochi Tart, the mochi layer does come stretchy and chewy like what one would expect; it wraps around the tart in the same way as what one would usually experience when having items such as that of ice-cream / gelato with mochi skin wrapped around it. Inside, the tart does seem a little bit more like a dessert tart / pie; the tart being filled with Ube Paste and Ube Filling on the top which gives an earthy and slightly sweet note that carries sufficient flavour throughout the tart. The addition of the Coconut Chantilly does seem to help to gel all of the elements together being soft, light and fluffy with a largely neutral flavour profile.
Innovative yet scrumptious dishes, warm and thoughtful service staff, intimate atmosphere. If only it were less expensive…

Shukuu Izakaya was amazing. Had the pork jowl, sashimi and garlic rice, they were all excellent. The sashimi was fresh, the pork jowls were delicious and its really overall satisfying. The kind of meal where you finish and immediately want to come back and try the other dishes
A truly memorable dining experience with impressive use of wood fire cooking, dry ageing and fermentation throughout the meal. We especially loved the in-house Fermented Ginger Spritz and the Huitre de Céline N1 oysters with sake-ponzu jelly and shiso, which were bursting with umami flavours. The Wagyu Tartare was rich and deeply savoury, while the dry-aged Channel Rockfish stood out with its crispy exterior and tender flesh. Also thoroughly enjoyed the Tajima Wagyu Picanha—definitely a restaurant we would gladly return to again.
Had a great izakaya dinner here with a nice variety of Japanese dishes. The Kaki No Sakamushi and Kani Gratin were comforting and satisfying.
We also enjoyed the grilled Surume Ika Yaki, Tochigi Wagyu, bacon asparagus, and a cold Sapporo to go with everything. Overall, a cosy spot with good food and a pleasant dining experience.
Had a fun sat night here, food is great and service is good too! Really like the parmesan cheese crips!

Conveniently located near Tanjong Pagar MRT, 5 minutes walk from Exit A.
Highly recommended for foodies to visit here, this is a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand restaurant. 💯 worth a visit.
Visitors should be one of the cafes that one would come across if scrolling around social media in recent times — these folks had most certainly made their mark in the local F&B scene despite it being a new entrant considering the number of posts about it on social media that is going around. Situated at the foot of Blk 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, Visitors takes over the former premises of the now-defunct Badaro Korean Seafood — other dining establishments within its vicinity would include that of the outlet of DOPA and Lad & Dad. Visitors is an establishment by the team behind Noci Pasta Bar at Suntec City; the interior of the establishment is an entire vibe of its own that feels like an attempt to replicate that of a cozy, minimalist living room with a Japandi touch; there is also an outdoor dining area that is decked like a patio space at the entrance as well. Being a cafe with a Korean-style element in the menu, the food menu is split into sections dedicated to Croissant, Brunch and Dessert, while the beverages menu is categorised into segments such as Coffee, Special, Tea, Wine and Beer.
Due to the number of items unavailable in the Brunch section of the menu by the time we had made our visit to Visitors on a weekend before 12 noon, we found ourselves going for the Croissant Butter Selection — this essentially an item in which features their butter croissants being sliced into halves with patrons having the ability to choose between two (2) different toppings to go along with the halved croissants. For our order of the Croissant Butter Selection, we went for the Honey Ricotta and the Prosciutto & Arugula options; the latter coming as a chargeable option that requires a top-up of $1 above the default base price. The Honey Ricotta would be the crowd-pleaser between the two toppings that we had opted for — the butter croissant on its own would fit well for those whom do not like their croissant to be too buttery; it does however come pretty light and crisp, while the airy, laminated interiors of the pastry does make it a light vehicle to have alongside the toppings above it. The ricotta cheese does come smooth and rich; it does seem to carry a creamy consistency, though not particularly heavy nor cheesy flavour-wise and pairs very well with the drizzle of honey that gives everything a light hint of floral sweetness for a contrast of flavours. Meanwhile, the Prosciutto & Arugula will appeal to those whom are into savoury flavours more; the butter croissant is lightly drizzled with olive oil, whilst the prosciutto provides the saltish-ness that one would typically expect out of cured meat — the inclusion of arugula adding a slight bitterness to cut through the savouriness with a sprinkle of pepper and salt to bring the other elements to taste. A very simple item that works well as a light munch whilst at Visitors.
