Here are 10 of the strangest and uniquely themed cafes and restaurants that will engage your sense of imagination!


1. Selfie Coffee

10. Igors


Many years ago there was a place I would beg my parents to take me. I was a strange kid and I loved freaky stuff. Brain shaped foods and eyeballs in my pasta are just some of the things that just appealed to me. Igors was my reward when I performed well in  school. This dinner theatre restaurant has closed years ago, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the strangest and most unforgettable restaurants in Singapore.


Bring your open mind and an empty stomach


There you have it, 9 places to visit if you need a new experience or if you’re sick of eggs benedicts and aglio olios. Let us know if you have a strange or weird dining experience to recommend too and we’ll add it to the list!
