24 New Restaurants In Singapore This October 2022—Sushi Cakes, Cereal Prawn Croissants And More

10th October 2022

New restaurants in Singapore this October 2022


October may not spell the onset of autumn in Singapore, but it does mark the steady closing of 2022 as we head into the final quarter. With that, diners can expect heaps of 20 restaurants and cafes in Singapore this October 2022 to try out. We’ve got a handful of trendy bagel joints, cool cafes, and dessert spots in this list, among others.


1. Lee’s Confectionery 


lees-confectionery-flatlay

Lee’s Confectionery’s unassuming name and location at a HDB carpark in Jurong belie the refined plated desserts that dot the cafe’s menu. The confectionery is run by chef Lee Yin Quan, who is classically trained in France and worked at numerous acclaimed patisseries there.

lees-confectionery-storefront

The minimalistic space lets the colourful desserts make a statement. Each plate is priced at $9 for takeaway, or $11 when dining in stores. While most of the items rotate, there are two fixtures: Tart, a lime and almond tart served with lime sorbet, and Madu, a pastry with a honey caramel middle and Horlicks ice cream.

2. Dopa


dopa-creamery-flat-lay

Whether you know them as Dopa or as Dopa Dopa, you’ll be happy to know that the famous gelateria has finally established a second outlet in Tanjong Pagar Plaza. They’re best known for their nutty gelatos, especially their Pistachio flavour, which is made with nuts sourced from Italy, and then roasted in-house. A single scoop here starts from $5, which you can then enjoy in a waffle (+$6), a cone (+$1), or a cup.

dopa-creamery-ambience

We also particularly love how the new space is outfitted. Instead of the bright yellows that define their Boat Quay flagship, this Tanjong Pagar iteration is all about Korean-style minimalism, with casual brick benches, and a sleek industrial countertop.

3. Tipo 


tipo-flatlay

A household name in the Muslim-friendly restaurant scene is Tipo, best known for their DIY pasta menu that’s always been ahead of the curve. While there are plenty of build-your-own pasta joints to pick from these days, Tipo gives you a reason to keep coming back with their all-new space along Aliwal Street, and their array of fresh, hand-made pastas in lesser-known shapes.

tipo-pasta-rack

Prices start from $9.90+ for the DIY option, where you get 120g of pasta, and your choice of sauce, protein, and topping.

Former home-based biz Madu The Bakery has opened a brick-and-mortar flagship to much fanfare. Located near Boon Keng, the bakery is run by a young baker who hails from Medan.

madu-the-bakery-flatlay

On the menu are bakes that are definitely inventive, from the wildly popular Cereal Prawn Croissant ($13.90+), which reinvents the zi char dish with a buttery croissant, cheddar cheese, tiger prawns, and crispy cereal crumbs, all finished with a bright yuzu mayo. Don’t skip trying their savoury buns, available in three flavours: Classic Garlic ($5.50+), Umami Mushroom ($6+), and Mentaiko ($6.50+).

5. B For Bagel 


b-for-bagel-flatlay

The bagel train in Singapore is chugging along steadily, with so many new bagelries popping up across the city of late. One that recently joined the fray is B For Bagel, which hails from Gangnam, in Seoul. The Korean cafe makes all their bagels from scratch, offering both sweet and savoury options, as well as soups and coffees. They’ve got bagels in numerous flavours, with prices starting under $5, but you can opt for filled bagels and turn them into a set meal with soup.

A unique pick here is the Peach Cloud ($7.50+), a bagel that reinvents the Japanese cream fruit sandwich with whipped cream and peach slices, sandwiched between a fluffy plain bagel.

7. May Pho 


may pho culture - flatlay

Vietnamese food seems to be in the spotlight of late, so get your fix at May Pho, a relatively new eatery in Chinatown that’s run by a native Vietnamese cook. The dishes here offer the standard selection of Vietnamese dishes Singaporeans are familiar with. There’s beef and chicken pho, both with full-flavoured broths slow-cooked for hours, sans MSG.

There’s also the airily crisp and addictive Spring Rolls ($6.90), packed with a well-seasoned meat filling, served with house-made chilli that’s next-level, in our books. May Pho also does legit Vietnamese drip coffee, both iced and hot, if you’d like to round off the meal with a caffeine boost.

Take a break from the regular Western brunch fare of eggs and toast and check out Cafe Gui, a cosy Japanese-Korean cafe in Novena. This minimalist cafe serves up a photogenic Dosirak Rice Bowl ($15.90+), comprising fried spam, kimchi, pickles, shredded seaweed, and short-grain rice, held in an aesthetically pleasing gold bento box.

The new cafe also offers fusion hotdogs, well-priced at $13.90+ with a serving of nori-spiked fries.

9. Missus 


missus cafe flatlay

Missus is a fairly new Muslim-owned bakery cafe along Hamilton Road that became popular for their grilled cheese menu and fresh pastries that are prepared in-house. A must-try is the Slumdog Grillionaire ($19+), a playful twist on the classic grilled cheese that includes masala potato cubes, coriander pesto, and the cafe’s signature cheese blend, all held between ciabatta bread that’s also baked in the premises.

missus cafe bakes

Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy The Great Grilled Choc Sandwich ($13+), a sinful treat featuring a creamy, Mexican chocolate lava filling packed within house-baked white bread.

59-hutong-yakiniku-flatlay

59 Hutong Yakiniku is a collaboration between Taiwan’s most popular Japanese BBQ joint, Hutong Yakiniku, with local dining start-up, 59. The newly opened restaurant is where it’s at for barbecue that doesn’t guise the natural flavours of their meats with various marinades, but lets the cuts speak for themselves.

59-hutong-yakiniku-ambience

Everything here is sourced from premium producers, whether it be the tender Iberico Pork Shoulder Blade ($22++), to the A5 Wagyu Ribeye Roll ($72++). Unconventional parts such as beef tongue are also available if you wish.

11. Simple Cafe


simple-cafe-review

We first reviewed Simple Cafe when they opened in NEWest, but the Taiwanese cafe has since relocated to the more central Lavender. They’ve expanded the menu to include hot dishes, but the real star remains the pastries, from the zesty Lemon Cake ($9+) to their fluffy Wintermelon Choux ($9+), laced with lemon curd and brown sugar jelly.

If you are here for mains, then get the Simple Breakfast ($17+), a fuss-free combination of eggs, chicken cheese sausage, your bread of choice, and a side salad.

12. La Grigne

La Grigne is another bakery making waves on social media for their medley of flavoured croissants. The Salmon Mentaiko Croissant ($5.50) is especially popular, topped with a touch of torched mentaiko roe, and a honey shoyu salmon middle.

la-grigne-chocolate

For sweets, go for the Chocolate Lava Croissant ($4), which is as luscious as it sounds. The small bakery is a takeaway-only concept housed near Maxwell Food Centre, so do note that there aren’t seats for dining.

14. September Coffee


september-coffee-flatlay

September Coffee became a bit of a TikTok sensation when it first opened. Though they brand themselves as a cafe, the eatery also does lunch and dinner, beyond just standard brunch bites. The Beef Ragu ($20++) is worth the trip down—one gets Conchiglie pasta, AKA large pasta shells, tossed in an unctuous beef ragu sauce, topped with an onsen egg.

If you’d just like to come by for coffee, the Iced Black Sesame Latte ($8++) is a must; it’s an addictive mix of goma cream with a milky latte.

wooly's bagels - intro

Another bagelry for the books is Wooly’s Bagels, located at Farrer Park’s City Square Mall. The Muslim-owned eatery has a number of inventive bagel flavours, from the Double Chicken Frizzle ($13.90), which tastes akin to a McSpicy, to the Bagel S’MORE ($7.90), a sweet, gooey stack of melted marshmallows and Nutella. Waiting times can be a tad long when it gets busy; there were only two people working in the kitchen when we visited.

Go all out and splurge on the omakase lunch ($228++) or dinner ($328++).

We highly recommend sharing the Kozen Sashimi Set ($50.80++) to start, which comes with a platter brimming with lean and fatty cuts of red and white fish, as well as other seafood.

If you want to get unconventional, order any of their Mini Sushi Cakes instead, priced at $27.50++. Each comprises a salmon base dressed with luxurious toppings, from scallops to ikura pearls. There’s plenty to pick from on the maki roll front, whether it be the classic flavour combo offered by the Unagi Avocado Roll ($22.90++) or the indulgent Black Truffle Foie Gras Roll ($30.50++).

Local steakhouse Keef the Beef first began just before the COVID-19 Circuit Breakers as a delivery-only service operated by steak fanatic Keith Wong, and his wife Jeanne. Their restaurant at the Grandstand in Turf City has a steady crowd of regulars, many of whom love hosting family functions in the Netflix-equipped private rooms.

One of Keith’s favourite steakhouses in the world is Peter Luger in Brooklyn, New York━The PL (from $119++) is his spin on it, and comes bubbling in a butter-based sauce, fresh out of a 1000˚F Salamander. Pair this with Bone Marrow ($29++ for three pieces) and finish this starter off with a Marrow Waterfall ($8++), AKA a shot of whisky poured down the bone into your mouth.

24. Gyusan


We recently paid a visit to Gyu San in Guoco Towers, Tanjong Pagar, to try their premium A5 Wagyu sandos. Now, the Wagyu specialist butchery has launched take-home sets for sukiyaki and yakiniku, starring Kamichiku 4% Miracle Gyu. If you’re wondering why 4% Miracle, it’s because this particular beef is the top 4% of A5 Kamichiku Wagyu bred only by 12 licensed farmers in Japan. To be more precise, only 28% of the beef they produce is certified A5, and this is the creme de la creme of that crop.

gyusan - new restaurants singapre

The Kamichiku 4% Miracle Gyu Sukiyaki Set, good for two to four, is priced at $88+ for self pick-up, or $98+ inclusive of delivery.
