Cafe Gui Chinatown sports a unique Hanok-inspired decor, with wooden structures and carvings resembling a traditional Korean house. The spacious cafe also boasts minimalist interiors similar to the original store we reviewed last year.

Food-wise, you can look forward to the cafe’s signature items, along with a few new additions to the menu. There’s the popular Dosirak Rice Bowl ($15.90+): a Korean-inspired lunch box with short-grain rice, fried Spam slices, kimchi, pickles, seaweed, and a sunny-side up.

You’re meant to break into the yolk and shake up the box to mix everything together, before enjoying!

Another must-order is the Dalgona Honeycomb ($9.90+), which nods to the viral dalgona candy from the hit series Squid Game.

The creamy latte features fresh milk spiked with espresso, and topped with house-made honeycomb candy pieces that melt into the drink, infusing a caramelly sweetness.

There’s also the Hojicha Pudding ($7.90+): smooth and creamy pudding topped with house-made hojicha syrup, served in a cute glass jar.

Besides old favourites, the Chinatown cafe will also offer new drinks and desserts, including Japanese Matcha Tiramisu ($10.90+) and Blue Blossom ($4.50), a caffeine-free mix of blue pea and cultured milk.

Another unique spot in Chinatown worth visiting is Cafe Monochrome, a 2D cafe with oriental designs and all-day brunch fare. If you’re up for more grub in the area, read our guide to the best food in Chinatown, including cheap hotpot buffet and famous curry noodles.

Opening hours: Mon-Tue 10:30am to 6:30pm, Thurs-Sat 10:30am to 9:30pm, Sun 10:30am to 4:30pm
