 1.      Five and Dime



Located at River Valley Road, Five and Dime is literally less than a 5 minute walk from DIMENSIONS International College River Valley. With wholesome belly-warming food as their philosophy, you can expect amazing comfort food at this little restaurant. We highly recommend their signature dishes such as their Mentaiko Pasta ($18) or Braised Pork Belly Sandwich ($18) and end off the meal with a decadent Molten Chocolate Lava Cake filled with a salted egg yolk custard centre.

 2.      Spathe Public House



Spathe Public house is a little restaurant with a Bohemian vibe that specializes in contemporary European and Southern American Cuisine, emphasizing bold flavours, fresh ingredients and large shareable portions. Try their signature Mohamed Sultan Metre Dog (Yes it is a metre long hotdog) ($55 sharing / $18 individual) which is made from a blend of veal and chicken curry wurst combined with wasabi mayonnaise and caramelised onions. If you feel up to it, try your luck with the Mammoth Challenge. If you finish this monster of a hotdog in 10 minutes, it’s on the house! Or if you’re a craving for an amazing burger, try the Signature Spathe Australian Angus Burger ($22).

Address: 8 Mohamed Sultan Rd #01-01, 238958

If you have a sudden craving for having breakfast food for lunch, then Common Man Coffee Roasters is the place for you. Swing by Common Man Coffee Roasters at 12pm and you can choose from both the All-Day Breakfast and the Lunch menu. Sink your teeth into their Organic Eggs Benedict ($24) with a generous serving of braised ox cheeks topped with hollandaise sauce for a hearty yet energy filled lunch. For the truly hungry ones, take on the Common Man Full Breakfast ($26), a towering plate of eggs, back bacon, sausages, grilled tomatoes, chorizo hash browns, portobello mushrooms, chorizo baked beans and artisanal sour dough or pepita toast.

What makes this place so popular? Chikuwa Tei’s signature Chirashi-Don ($25) is voted by food reviews and food bloggers alike as one of the most exceptional Chirashi-Dons in Singapore with its fresh and generous sashimi servings. With over 18 bento sets on the menu, you will be spoilt for choice with all the quality Japanese food.
