The “Circuit Breaker” period was a challenging period for many restaurants and cafes, and especially so for these NEW establishments which have just opened.
Other than the more established names, I felt that I needed to showcase some of the more hidden less-publicised spots, like a creative bubble tea shop at VivoCity called Beyond Coffee, inexpensive Thai & kopi food place near Bukit Ho Swee, and a cafe at Potong Pasir run by the 3rd gen of Shangri-La Confectionary and Delicatessen.
Enjoy!
Beyond Coffee
Vivocity 1 Harbourfront Walk #02-135/136 Singapore 098585
Opening Hours: 11am – 10pm (Mon – Sun)
Bubble Tea & Coffee Place With Creative Flavours
While new bubble tea places are dime-in-a-dozen, the menu of this new shop Beyond Coffee at Vivocity may make you stop in your tracks.
This offerings is quite unlike anything else you would find in Singapore, with categories of “Special”, “Addiction”, “Cool”, “Crafted”, “Coffee” and “Jelly”.
Its specialty beverages include Tomato Tango ($7.50) which is a combination of cherry tomato, seaweed and coffee; Go Bananas ($7.50) with banana cheese foam, banana and milk; Osmanthus Prime ($4.90) of Osmanthus with milk, coffee, cheese foam and gula melaka boba; and Crack Mee Up ($7.50) added with popping boba and salted egg yolk biscuit. Wah.
As they are still in the soft launch phase, I had the safer choice of a cooling Sabai Sabai ($6.50) of lemongrass, lemon and coffee. An interesting combination that made me feel like I was in a spa.
I shall get more adventurous the next time.

Well-Loved Dessert Bar Makes Its Return With Delicate Cakes & Plated Desserts
It has been a long wait, but Kki Sweets is FINALLY back again.
This time it takes on a different form and style, located at Seah Street, the ground level of Raffles Hotel. Reservations are highly recommended.
What’s available include delicate cakes and plated desserts.

The other cake I took pleasure in was the “Teh” ($9.50) coming with earl grey mousse with a core of pear, because there was a level of unexpectedness as well. Kki Sweets (Seah Street)

The current 3rd generation had decided to step up and continue the “family’s legacy” revamping the entire space from a bakery to a café.
Their menu is mainly focused on pastries and coffee, with a small selection of Lunch Bowls available on certain days of the week.
The Ceviche Lunch Bowl ($15.80) is served with tuna, swordfish, nori, shoyu, black sesame seeds, tobiko and a dollop of wasabi by the side.
Unlike their Peruvian counterpart with a distinctive citrus-ness in their marination which is known as Tiger’s Milk, the version at Kizuna was more Japanese Chirashi-like using a shoyu-base sauce. Kizuna (Potong Pasir)
