Tucked away on the second floor of Cluny Court, a cluster of restored shophouses dating to 1928, the café boasts a gallery-like atmosphere with various forms of artworks lining its walls (some are even for sale). It’s also located next door to the Botanic Gardens, making it a great spot for brunch after a jog. Go for the platter of Pacific oysters, either served fresh with rice vinegar and shallots or baked then curried, Mornay-style. The salted-egg carbonara comes highly recommended, with its East-meets-West plating of bacon, lap cheong (Chinese sausage), spaghetti, sous-vide egg, salted-egg sauce, and parmesan.
