With coffee sourced from One Half Roastery, trust that this place will be your designated spot for coffee breaks after a long day. On the menu, you can find beverages such as coffee, mocha, matcha and chai. For a quick bite, indulge in their savoury beef, salmon and egg sandwiches. Designated for all sweet tooths, be sure to try their Maritozzi and ice cream sandwiches.

Three Moku
Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by beautiful greenery once in a while? Three Moku offers just that but with a side of cuppa and gelato. The latest artisanal plant shop allows customers to browse for a new plant companion while enjoying delicious iced beverages. We’d call this a haven for any green thumbs.

To accompany your sweet treat, don’t miss out on ordering their matcha iced tea. You won’t regret it.

While you’re there, be sure to take home some of their delicious buns and cakes for a lovely afternoon treat at home.

You can also find intriguing main dishes, from Belly’s Oceanic Blast Pasta to Szechuan-spiced Duck Confit Risotto and Grilled Sea Bass with Century Egg Chili Ragu. Under their drink section, be sure to try their Camelia Yin Yong and Kumquat Suan Mei Tang if you’re feeling adventurous.
