Top 10 Restaurants And Cafés Near Upper Thomson In Singapore

Instagram-friendly plating and affordable, delicious brunch fare, has made Habitat Coffee very popular with the local student crowd. The café offers fairly standard brunch items such as eggs benedict, pancakes and waffles – some of the mains are more adventurous such the Pick A Date date pudding with butterscotch sauce, chili crab linguine and as a Canadian, I certainly appreciate that they take a stab at my national dish of poutine. Where Habitat Coffee truly shines is their coffee selection and range of hot and cold coffee beverages.

Open from 9am until 2am, and always busy, roti prata house will satisfy your cravings for delicious Indian and Muslim fare late into the night.

If you’re feeling particularly hungry, try the mutton curry – it’s quite rich and heavy, but the mutton is succulent and the curry is spiced perfectly.

Ready to forget your diet and indulge in all things deep fried? Fatboy’s The Burger Bar has you covered. Singapore’s hipster burger bar has recently taken offense to McDonald’s new slogan, Now everyone can atas, a Singlish phrase meaning everyone can be high class. To counter that, they’ve now started offering their own salted egg soft shell crab burger that looks absolutely delicious and perfect to indulge in on your cheat-day.

Meng’s Kitchen became a Thomson Road staple by offering great food 24 hours a day. But these days, as competition increases, Meng’s Kitchen keeps slightly more manageable hours and is open from 9.30am until 4.30am. Although friendliness in the staff is non-existent and the cleanliness of the restaurant is dubious, Meng’s Kitchen is still worth a visit for its superb bak chor mee, a dish of flat yellow egg noodles, minced pork, fish balls and bits of mushroom, easily one of the best on the island.

Badoque, which in Malay is slang for ‘to eat’, is popular because of its delicious food and giant portions. It’s also Halal-certified. Although Singapore has a large Malay population, people are often stuck eating McDonald’s as not many restaurants are willing to commit to being Halal. Considering that, it’s great that Badoque Café offers a comprehensive international menu, but if you’re not ordering the spanner crab pasta or the ‘literally falling off the bone’ Badoque ribs, you’re missing out.

Pacamara is one of those blindingly white minimalist cafés that looks somewhat intimidating but is absolutely worth stepping into. For brunch, they offer dishes like truffle benedict and salmon royale, paired with strong, free trade coffee. For dinner, Pacamara is constantly changing their menu to keep customers coming back. Tip: try the slow cooked ox cheek – one of the few permanent items on an ever-changing menu.
