Perched on the waterfront at the edge of the leafy Kallang Riverside Park, Gourmet Park Kampong Bugis feels like a bit of an oasis, secluded from traffic and urban bustle. The verdant alfresco dining spot presents five homegrown concepts including Chef Adam Penney’s Breakfast by Carnaby, plant-based The Goodburger and Telok Ayer’s Meatsmith, serving up elevated, crowd-pleasing comfort food that’s perfect for a casual night out. It’s hard to go wrong with Meatsmith’s smoky, succulent pork belly burnt ends, especially when paired with a refreshing summer-ready cocktail or two. Beautifully charred and drenched in a flavourful glaze, it’s undercut with a bright, tangy coleslaw. End on a sweet note with Carnaby’s aptly-named Boozy Toast – sourdough French toast topped with alcohol-laced berry compote and whipped cream. The charming gardenesque locale is also pet-friendly, so invite your best furry friends along.
