For those who might not be familiar with Penny University, their beginnings can be traced back to 2012 in East Coast, where they’d been till this relocation. Their new Bugis outlet now boasts a larger dining space, with an expanded food and drinks menu in the works.

If you’re up for brunch, the Eggs Benedict ($18.50++) is a fantastic option. Choose from smoked salmon, turkey ham or beef cheeks, paired with two golden poached eggs and topped with their house-made Hollandaise sauce.
