---

The Marmalade Pantry is a must-visit cafe located in Oasia Hotel Downtown, just a short walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. Known for its inviting atmosphere and top-notch service, this cafe offers a menu that goes beyond your typical brunch fare. 

Highlights include the Beef & Potatoes ($30++), featuring tender Australian smoked beef brisket atop a white bean puree, paired with arugula, chimichurri, and roasted grapes. Another standout is the No Avo Avo Toast ($22++), a creative take on avocado toast with a rich blend of zucchini, edamame, and candied walnuts, adding depth and texture to the dish. For dessert, the Croissant French Toast ($18++) is a sweet finale, where a buttery croissant is soaked in custard and ginger yuzu marmalade, balanced with poached plums.

2. Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST)

Pizza Studio Tamaki (PST) regularly makes it to the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand and 100 Top Pizzas in the World lists, so you know there’s something different about the pizzas here. The pizzeria is known for its 12-inch Neapolitan-style pies, baked with a unique dough that combines premium Canadian and American flour. We recommend the classic Tamaki ($29++), starring a thin base and puffy crust with charred edges. Our favourite part was the underside of each slice that came seasoned with Okinawan salt.

One of the restaurant’s most popular dishes is Gold Medal Kung Pao Chicken ($16.80++), said to boast a smoky aroma with an underlying sweetness. For those visiting in a group, Dongpo’s Golden Soup with Pickled Fish ($29.90++) is an ideal sharing dish served in a huge pot.

4. Brothers Ramen

---

If you ever see snaking queues in front of a ramen eatery in Tanjong Pagar, it’s probably Ramen Brothers, where portion sizes are generous and prices are affordable. Start with the classic Brothers Ramen ($14.90++), starring springy noodles, tender chashu pork, and soft bamboo shoots. The cheapest item on the menu is Megamen Light ($12.90++), which turned out to be one of our favourites, as the cut of chashu was fatty and extra tender. Do note that the lunch crowd thickens as soon as the eatery opens, so make your way down ASAP to get a seat.

5. Sweet Dots

For traditional Chinese desserts at nett prices, head to Sweet Dots at 100 AM. We tried their Signature Pistachio Paste ($6.90), featuring a simple bowl of vibrant green pistachio paste topped with a sprinkle of coarsely crushed nuts. If you’re not into nutty desserts, order the Mango Pomelo Sago Beancurd ($5.50) instead. You get a winning combination of sweet mango base and custardy beancurd, topped with mini taro balls, fresh mango cubes, chewy tapioca pearls, and shredded pomelo.

You also get a side of cubed radish kimchi, yellow pickled radish, and barley rice on the side!
