Café Mosaic

This cafe has a pleasant setting and is a great getaway from the weekend crowds at Raffles City and Chijmes. If you’re famished, drop by for the Café Mosaic burger: a sizable patty with grilled cheese on a toasted bun, with lots of fries; insist on medium-rare if you prefer a juicier take. The Singapore nonya laksa, though generously topped with seafood, meat and eggs, looks and tastes a bit mild on first impression—ask for sambal chilli if you want to experience some fiery deliciousness. The nasi goreng istimewa features kampong fried rice with crispy fried chicken, nonya achar and two sticks of satay doused in a piquant peanut sauce. For dessert, the kaffir lime pie with raspberry chutney and Greek yoghurt is as visually arresting as it is delicious. Service is perfunctory and efficient, though it could be warmer.
