Nice little nook for serious coffee on a quiet early morning… on level 3 Far East plaza Pop in for a flat white seeing the good reviews. It’s a good cuppa.. well done. Lovely drips seem popular here. Great ambience, cozy space, shy owners. Bakes look great, will be back for more

hei kim cafe’s banoffee pie was a treat — light, fluffy filling with a firm chocolate tart base, every bite was delish🍫🍌 also had the black sesame latte; smooth & easy to drink, though i prefer a bolder goma cream flavour~ love the use of antique furnitures & cute vintage plates! Reccos: Banoffee pie YAS🍳🍳🍳 OKK NAH

Stumbled upon this spot while wandering around FEP, drawn in by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The cafe has a homely yet minimalist, cozy-industrial vibe that feels welcoming. I only tried the coffee this time (which was good) but noticed they also bake their own cakes instore, which I’ll definitely come back for. The staff were proactive and attentive, which made the experience even better. Would be great if they had a menu displayed outside though

banoffee cake — i was quite let down by this 😭 it’s 90% cream, with a chocolate tart at the bottom. i wish the cream had more flavour at least, and i couldn’t really appreciate the flavour of the tart as im not a fan of dark choco :”) honey cake — thank god i got this bc it really salvaged the whole experience for me 🤣 it was so yummy!!! buttery 🤭 it could’ve had a stronger honey taste but that’s okay, the texture and everything else was great sesame latte — i don’t like coffee and ordered this not knowing it had coffee in it 🥹 my past experiences ordering a sesame latte didn’t come with coffee…. luckily my friend likes coffee so it didn’t go to waste

Small cozy shop selling coffee and cakes. Came around 230pm and it was almost full. We asked for recommendation for the filtered coffee that is not so acidic. Love the recommended $7 Indonesia coffee that smells aromatic and tasted fruity and nutty. Also had the cheese cake which was creamy, eating small bites with the burnt top was super yummy. Would try again.

Definitely one of the best mixed veg rice stalls in Singapore. Salted egg yolk pork rib is their signature dish, and supremely delicious. Prawn paste chicken is a boneless crispy delicacy. The lotus root soup was also flavourful and delish. The rest of the dishes I tried were also excellent. The stall is very busy during lunch with limited seats, but you will always be able to find a seat, as diners typically finish their meal in 10 mins on average and move off.

One of the most expensive you can find at Orchard Rd. Simple 2 veg + 2 meat rice combo cost almost SGD10, that otherwise cost less in a normal food court. And this shop is old looking and not worth the price paying for. Avoid it if you're not overly hungry.

Best lunch place in the city area yet affordable. Tried their Fried Chicken, Stir Fry Long Beans, omellete, and salted pork for $10. Must try the first 2, the salted pork is not as fragrant as the chicken, but still soft and edible. Get the soup of the day for $1 only with, small bits of meat. Lunch time is very crowded, to aim before 12pm to ensure place for dining in :)

Probably the best place for cai fan (rice and assorted dishes) in Singapore. However after 2pm the menu changes to a different menu The dishes are cooked in batches, and there are always queues, meaning it’s fresh. Although the food is tasty, it’s not oily. There’s also a variety of classic favourites and hard to find specials (salted egg yolk pork chop). You can also request for soup. Also brown rice option. Especially for orchard road, the price is reasonable - $7.50 for brown rice with tofu, 2 veggie, 1 omelette and 1 soup. Even though there are queues, the staff are efficient and you rarely wait more than 5-10 mins for your turn to order and even sit (most are takeaways). Truly a rare gem where there are healthy options, tasty, in the middle of shopping district.

Everytime I come Far East Plaza for lunch on a weekday, there will always a long queue for this store. My curiosity was piqued and wanted to know what was the hype. A great variety of dishes from vegetables, meat and sides. Rice grains is the grainy type. Small dining space, buy 1st then take a seat. Separate queue for takeaway. Was flabbergasted when my 3 Veg 1 Meat was charged at $7.50. Dk how the pricing system works but taste wise pretty average cai fan level. Veg were pretty nice and warm. Ordered the pork salted egg and its rather tough and wet. I rate: 3/5 🌟 Soup is $1 a bowl which I think is the cheapest really because the ingredients and time taken to boil this actually takes lots of effort. The soup of the day was Black Beans chicken soup. A lot of beans. Soup is piping hot. I rate: 5/5 🌟
