Beef Lasagna ($9) and Cajun Chicken Leg ($9) are two mains to get while you’re here. The former features layers of minced beef and pasta sheets, stringy mozzarella, and tomato marinara, while the latter has a tender, succulent chicken thigh doused in a cream sauce.

Free The Robot
Radiates a quirky vibe, even more so when you step inside to be greeted by cute robot doodlings on the wall. Their menu changes often, so come expecting to have something different from your last visit. They usually offer a small range of sides and mains, with options such as French Toast ($6+) . This is a sweet-savoury combo of pillowy bread soaked in egg custard before being fried till golden brown. Topped with crispy bacon strips, berries, and maple syrup, this is one dish to cross your fingers for when you check out their menu of the day. Don’t be alarmed if you catch a tiny dog in the café, ‘cause that would be Baileys, their adorable pup who usually pops by on Saturdays!

Bread Yard
Is a Japanese-European fusion café, and might just be a carb lover’s heaven. Other than serving up a variety of sandwiches made with freshly baked bread, they also offer pancakes and brunch dishes from 8am to 4pm. Poached Eggs ($6) won me over with two poached eggs that peek out under hollandaise sauce, and set atop fluffy Hokkaido bread. While this dish sounds simple, each component is executed well and the dish itself is filling enough. Maple & Butter Pancakes ($6) is another fuss-free breakfast dish that features a stack of warm and pillowy pancakes doused in maple syrup and topped with butter.

PocoLoco
Found in Ang Mo Kio, PocoLoco makes having Italian fare a fuss-free affair.

Time Table Café
If you have friends who claim there aren’t any cafés in Jurong worth a visit, shut their trap by bringing them to Time Table Café .

Bianca ($7.90) is an eight-inch pizza topped with shredded chicken, alfredo sauce, garlic, and stringy mozzarella cheese – great if you’re going halfsies with bae. If you’re not one who likes to get your hands dirty while eating, Smoked Salmon Baked Rice ($5.90) has cream sauce, mozzarella cheese, and smoked salmon slices that’ll satisfy your tummy.

Sunny Choice Café
While most associate brunch with bacon and eggs, Sunny Choice Café makes things #ezpz for vegetarians and vegans. A must-have here is Thunder Tea ($8.50) , which has brown rice topped with a colourful array of vegetables such as shredded carrots and mushroom ‘ikan bilis’. For the noobs, the right way to eat this is to pour in the green ‘soup’ and mix everything together to savour every element of this dish in one bite. Their Abacus ($7) is a healthier alternative to traditional Hakka abacus seed , and features springy and smooth button-like yam balls tossed with components such as carrots and black fungus.
