A short walk from the lush Singapore Botanic Gardens, the local taproom is a day-to-night concept that runs as a cafe before 4pm. As the day matures, the menu goes from kaya butter toast to crab fried rice and whitebait with sambal belachan. The OG Beef Rendang is highly recommended, featuring meltingly tender Black Angus beef cheek in a thick, unctuous gravy. For something beer-friendly, you can’t go wrong with the shatteringly crispy OG Rempah Fried Chicken featuring boneless chicken thighs.
Can’t decide on a brew? The amiable crew is happy to pour you a few samples from the 14 taps on rotation. There’s everything from lagers to stouts, and even seasonal releases and sake. On pleasant days, the alfresco area is the perfect spot to slow down over a pint or two.
