What to eat in September
Rent-a-picnic at Park Side by PS. Cafe
Taking over Privé at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Park Side is PS. Cafe’s new botanical-inspired cafe giving you more reasons to enjoy the gardens. Especially if you’re thinking of a picnic. The fuss-free Rent-a-picnic bundles include a picnic mat, food, and drinks all packed in a basket. All you have to do it pick a spot, lay them out, and enjoy.
Picnic bundles start from $70 for two mains, one nibble, and a jug of iced tea, thoughtfully kept cold in a thermal flask. Families can opt for the Lawn Party ($140) which comes with four mains, two nibbles, a jug of iced tea. Add a dash of romance with Wine & Wander ($136), a picnic for two with wine.
Despite its sloping terrain, one of our favourite picnic spots is in front of the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where Concerts in the Gardens take place. With live music, food, and family, it’s the perfect way to kick back on the weekends.
Kids menu: No but kids and furkids will have their time on the sprawling fields of Botanic Gardens
Best for: Fuss-free family days out and picnics with kids and pets.
Where: Park Side, 1 Cluny Rd, Nassim Gate Visitor Centre Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore 259569
Osteria Mozza moves to ION Orchard
Cal-Italian restaurant Osteria Mozza begins a new chapter at ION Orchard, adding a slice of Roman and Italian street food to the menu. Leading the charge is Pizza alla Pala, a paddle-shaped pizza with a crisp crust. The Roman-style pizza is made for sharing and sliced into bite-sized pieces — easy for little hands to manage. The dough is light and airy with no thick crust around the edges, which means fussy eaters won’t leave half of it behind. Kid-friendly options include Aglio e Olio, BLT, and Funghi Misti. (Note: Fennel sausage is a little spicy)
Don’t skip the handmade pastas like the Mafaldine (ragu Bolognese) and the Squid Ink Casarecce (squid ink and cuttlefish), or the scrumptious Grilled Harissa Shrimp on a crostone. If you’re there for lunch, give the Piadina a go. It’s chef Nancy Silverton’s take on one of Italy’s most beloved street foods — a sandwich made with flatbread dough. Fairly hearty, so sharing is a good call.
Kids menu: No, but its handy sized pizzas let kids share the meal
Best for: Sharing Roman-style pizzas and handmade pasta with the family
Where: Osteria Mozza Singapore, 2 Orchard Turn, ION Orchard, #03-14B/15B, Singapore 238801
Mondo turns one with Nasi lemak gelato and spiked slushies
Mondo has been churning out creative gelato flavours, and for its one-year anniversary, they made a Nasi lemak-inspired one. The combination of jasmine rice, coconut, and sambal caramel in the gelato blew our minds. It’s sweet, savoury and a little spicy all at once — and yes, it genuinely does taste like nasi lemak. Can’t wait to see my kid’s face when he tries this one. Other new flavours we loved include the toasted buckwheat and honey and the coconut sticky rice. From $8 for a single scoop.
For an adult-twist to dessert, reach for one of the spiked espresso with soft cream. Yes, like an affogato but with alcohol. Feeling adventurous? Reach for the Fungo and its deep and savoury shiitake and dark cacao flavours. Otherwise, go with the Amarena, a sweet and tangy black cherry shrub drink. Too much caffeine? There’re spiked slushies on the menu and we liked the refreshing pomegranate with rose Melagrana.
Kids menu: It’s a gelato shop, there’s no need for a kids menu
Best for: Ice cream with kids, creative gelato flavours, spiked slushies
Where: Mondo, 92A Amoy St, Singapore 069911
Rituel Tokyo comes to Singapore
Rituel Tokyo Singapore has us swooning over its afternoon tea. Rooted in French technique and Japanese precision, the Tokyo-born brand is best loved for its viennoiserie and patisserie, which you’ll find in its Singapore-exclusive BOUQUET afternoon tea. At $118 per set for two persons, it is a little splurge but everything, from the Lavender macaroon and Opera cake, to the canelé and Flower chocolate petit choux, looks so pretty and tastes good. Plus, you’ll get to choose a viennoiserie from their signature wagon service. It can get filling, so make sure to eat light for lunch.
The soft blue interior, marble-patterned tabletop, and Christofle silverware creates a quiet elegance that invites you to linger — perfect for tête-à-tête with a fellow mum, or a special treat with your little one. Instead of the usual coffee or tea, give the hot chocolate with Chantilly cream a try, it’s delicious.
The BOUQUET Afternoon tea runs daily from 2pm to 6pm and is priced at $118 for two persons. Enjoy free-flow sparkling tea as part of its opening special.
Kids menu: Not needed here
Best for: Special mums get-together, afternoon tea treat with the little ones

What to eat in August
People People Brewing Co.
Fresh beer, wood-fire cooking, and arcade games to keep the kids entertained? Yes please! People People Brewing Co, is the hot new spot we’re loving, especially for leisurely Sundays. People People Family Day runs every Sunday from 11am to 3pm with a colouring menu, a dedicated playzone and sports screenings for adults.
The menu here is built for sharing and pairs beautifully with their craft beers. You won’t go wrong with loaded nachos, swordfish tacos, or crispy chicken tenders. Don’t miss the wood-fired sourdough pizzas either; we loved the Pulled Pork Sanger. Kids are welcome to share, but why do that when there’s a Little People Menu with Little People Burgers, Little People Pizzas, and more.
Quick tip: if you’re still on the waitlist for a seat at Burnt Ends, you’ll be glad to know that David Pynt, the chef of Burnt Ends, is also behind the menu here.
The 9,000 sq ft restaurant and social space is perfect for gatherings and celebrations (we know it because we ran our inaugural Beers & Braids event there). For something cosier, book the private room, complete with its own taps and an exclusive peek into the brewery.
Kids menu: Yes, $12 per dish
Best for: Sunday brunch, family gatherings and celebrations, craft beer for grown-ups and arcade games to keep the kids entertained.
Where: People People Brewing Co, 26 Sentosa Gateway, Unit Nos #B1-209 to #B1-217, 098138
POP MART POP Bakery
POP MART fan or not, if you love cute things, POP Bakery is the place for you. We’re not kidding when we say everything here is impossibly cute; just look at our faces on Instagram. From the decor to the food and drinks, every single detail has been thought through to bring the POP MART universe to life. You’ll be greeted by Molly near the entrance with Skull Panda leading you into the seating area. Even the chairs are themed. The cafe sits on the second floor, just above the POP Mart retail shop, so snag a window seat for panoramic views and gorgeous natural light.
The themed desserts and pastries here are really on point, and we especially love the Twinkle Twinkle Coconut Mousse. Twinkle Twinkle sits in mango popping boba, with coconut mousse layered with biscuit crumbs, all served in a coconut husk that’s made of chocolate. PUCKY arrives in a xiao long bao basket and it is a jiggly almond tofu jelly! There’s even a pair of chopsticks (really biscuits!) and a chocolate dip made to look like black vinegar. Definitely try the popsicles; there’s the Twinkle Twinkle Twin Popsicle that’s so much fun to break apart, and a Singapore-exclusive Twinkle Twinkle Merlion!
Did we mention there’s meet and greet too? Spend a minimum of $40 per person or $80 per table to qualify for the meet and greet sessions which run three times a day from 2pm to 3pm, 4pm to 5pm, and 6pm to 7pm. Reservations is required for dinin in.
Kids menu: No kids menu needed because kids will love everything here
Best for: POP Mart fans, cute character-themed treats and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments with the kids.

The Coach Restaurant
First, there was The Coach Coffee Shop and now, we have The Coach Restaurant, a modern New York steakhouse set against the Rain Vortex at Jewel Changi Airport. As the original American house of leather, Coach has elegantly dressed the space in tanned leather upholstery, even suspending the iconic yellow New York taxi from the ceiling! Kiddos who love cars are going to get a kick out of this one.
Besides activity sheets to keep the little ones busy, you can grab front-row seats by the open kitchen to watch the chefs in action. Or settle in by the Rain Vortex to soak up the cool mist, it really is refreshing. And if you want the best of both worlds, the plush leather seats in the middle offer views of the kitchen action and the mist.
At the helm of the kitchen is chef Kurt Sombero, formerly of Burnt Ends, so he knows a thing or two about wood-fire cooking. You’ll taste it in the USDA Prime cuts, the lemon thyme chicken, and even in the cheeseburger from the kids’ menu. We also loved the Maryland crab cakes and the cutest little cream cheese and caviar bagel. Parents, if you’re in the mood for a tipple or two, they’ve got an extensive selection of wines and cocktails to match
Kids menu: Yes, $12 per dish, including kids’ favourites like pizza, hot dog, burger, and pasta.<br>Best for: A special family meal n Jewel with wood-fired steaks, Rain Vortex views and a suspended yellow taxi that car-loving kids will adore.

JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang SBCD
Think Singapore’s climate is way too hot for Ginseng Chicken soup? Think again. Korea eats Samgyetang during the hottest summer months to nourish the body and restore energy and now, SBCD, the popular Korean tofu stew chain, has brought JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang to Singapore. It is one of Korea’s most recognised samgyetang simmering the essence of hanbang (Korean herbal medicine) into every bowl. The herbs are packed in a teabag so you can easily adjust the intensity while soaking up the health benefits.</p>
Go for the Healthy Samygetang to relieve fatigue, restore energy, and support joint health, or the Beauty Samgyetang for its anti-aging and skin nourishing ef
fects. Not a chicken fan? The Cheonma Duck Health Soup is a solid alternative. If you’re out with the kids, the porridge here comes in handy. The slurp-worthy samgyjejuk porridge is cooked in the same nourishing broth, making it an easy, no-fuss meal for little ones. One thing we will not miss is the Squid and Minari Salad. Wrap it up with avocado and seaweed and it’s a full flavour bomb in your mouth. Fair warning, it’s a little spicy, so maybe save this one for yourself.
<strong>Kids menu: No, but samgyejuk is a good option for kids
Best for: Restorative Korean ginseng soups and kid-friendly samgyejuk for the little ones.
Where: JIHO Hanbang Samgyetang SBCD, 18 Cross St, #B1-01, Singapore 048423
SKOSH hand roll and matcha bar
Their first store along Bencoolen Street is already a big hit with NAFA students, and we think this newest concept at Scotts Square makes for a great pit stop for shopping fam
ilies. The hand rolls are filled with Yamagata rice, wrapped in seaweed from Setouchi, and crowned with generous toppings ranging from seafood like maguro, salmon, and snow crab to land proteins like wagyu and chicken.</p>
Our top picks: the snow crab with ponzu pearls, zesty and refreshing with every bite; the samsui scallion chicken, which really does taste like chicken rice; and the Hokkaido N34 wagyu striploin with yakiniku sauce, rich and satis
fying. Some rolls come slightly spiced, so check the ingredients closely if your little ones can’t handle heat. Otherwise, you can always put out the heat with a matcha parfait or the store exclusive miso brown sugar matcha.
Order the rolls individually or as a set of three or five. Perfect for lunch or a snack break.
<strong>Kids menu: No, kids get to choose their own hand rolls
Best for: A quick family lunch or snack break between shopping, with hand rolls that are easy to mix, match and share.
Where: SKOSH hand roll and matcha bar, 6 Scotts Rd, B1-K1, Singapore 228209
