Most culinary explorations involve experimenting with new dishes, and Buona Vista offers surprisingly delightful surprises that will entice your palate! From submerging into a bowl of 63 Laksa that practically dances with flavour to enjoying carrot cake that’s not actually sweet but rather savoury, this place is a treasure trove of culinary curiosities. Join me as I recount my escapades through this food haven, where each bite is an experience and a chance to laugh at my own adventurous palate!
EAT
The Star Vista is truly a gem within Buona Vista—an urban oasis where you can find a delightful mix of dining options. Whether you’re rushing through your day or simply fancy a lazy brunch, this place caters to your needs. As I strolled through the retail sanctuary, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sheer variety of eateries available. One moment I was eyeing the quirky decor in So Pho, and the next, I was enticed by the smoky goodness wafting from the nearby Long Black Café. Trust me, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a kid in a sweet shop; only substitute sweets for scrumptious meals and you’ll get the idea! It’s all about finding the odd food treasure amongst the hustle and bustle, something that can definitely give you a chuckle or two.
Quick and fuss-free meals
I found EAT. B1-38 to be the perfect snug hideaway for those of you always on the go—like me, who seems to always be late. It’s got that eat-and-go vibe going strong, which means that you can grab the deliciousness without the faff. I often popped in for a quick bite after my MRT ride; their local fare hits the spot perfectly, especially when you’re after something quick before diving headfirst into the tasks of the day. Picture this: I am standing there, balancing my bag, and attempting to determine whether to order nasi lemak or chicken rice as it sizzles in front of me. It’s akin to a culinary version of speed dating, and it’s possible that I could develop a deep romantic connection. Each meal feels like a mini celebration in itself!
Affordable local fare
One of the best aspects of this food scene is the affordability of local delights. Whenever I’m craving a satisfying meal without feeling guilty, I head to one of the Buona Vista establishments that offer local cuisine at affordable prices. It’s a mutually beneficial situation where my stomach is satisfied and my finances stay intact. The other day, as I savored a plate of char kway teow that was gloriously tender, I couldn’t help but feel as though I was wasting my time at fancy restaurants when I could enjoy such delightful dishes at home.

Whether it’s a cheeky plate of laksa or a comforting bowl of pho, you will always leave with a smile—and perhaps just a smudge of chilli sauce on your cheek, which, let’s be honest, only adds to the charm of your food adventure!
Peach Garden Metropolis
Some of my fondest memories of dining in Buona Vista stem from my visits to Peach Garden Metropolis. This elegant establishment has a knack for providing an outstanding experience that makes you feel like royalty, even if you’re just there for a casual dinner. As I stepped inside, the sophisticated decor, with its plush furnishings and ambient lighting, instantly elevated my mood. I can assure you, it’s the kind of place where you could easily get lost in your thoughts, contemplating life while savouring delicate morsels of culinary brilliance. You almost expect an emperor to walk in at any moment, waving his hand as a signal for more dumplings!
Elegant dining experience
Any dining experience that begins with warm tea and a smile is bound to be a good one. At Peach Garden, the staff are so welcoming that I felt like I was dining at a dear friend’s house—if that friend had an outstanding talent for Chinese cuisine, of course. I appreciated the way they took the time to explain the menu, providing suggestions based on my preferences. Trust me, you’ll want to heed their advice, because they seem to possess a sixth sense for knowing exactly what will tickle your taste buds! I distinctly recall indulging in their signature roasted duck, which honestly left me questioning how this dish could possibly exist outside of culinary heaven.
Delicious Chinese cuisine
Dining at Peach Garden Metropolis is a true delight for the senses, especially when it comes to their delicious Chinese cuisine. The menu is a tapestry of flavours that beckons you to explore something new with every visit. Each dish is a small work of art, designed not only to look beautiful but also to produce an explosion of flavours in your mouth that leaves you wanting more. The chefs have mastered the balance of spices and sauces, making even the simplest of dishes remarkable.
For instance, during one visit, I decided to try their stir-fried prawns with almonds. I was immediately swept away by the harmony of the succulent prawns and the crunchy almonds, which made for an extraordinary textural experience. I must admit, I had to restrain myself from asking for the recipe; otherwise, I might have spent the next three weeks perfecting it at home (much to my partner’s dismay!). Each bite was a reminder of why I keep returning to Peach Garden Metropolis—for that delicious fusion of taste, elegance, and of course, the fabulous company I always seem to meet there, even if it’s just myself trying to win the battle against a formidable dessert!).
CALI
Casual Vibes
The moment I walked into CALI, I felt as if I had stumbled into a trendy café in Melbourne rather than a restaurant in Buona Vista. The decor is a fabulous blend of modern minimalism and quirky touches, creating a laid-back atmosphere that invites you to plop down and unwind. I mean, who wouldn’t want to sip on a latte while lounging in such fabulous surroundings? It certainly doesn’t scream “I’m rushing for a bus!” but rather, “Take your time, life is good!”
This place is perfect for those like me who have zero patience for pretentious dining. With friendly staff who greet you like an old mate, CALI manages to keep the vibes effortlessly casual. I’ve sat there scrolling through my phone, only to be interrupted by the seductive aroma wafting from the kitchen, making it quite the feat to keep my eyes glued to the screen. Honestly, I’d need a good excuse not to tuck into their delights!
Unique Menu Options
You know how some places have the same old, tired menu that makes you feel like you’re stuck in a culinary time warp? CALI is not one of them. As I browsed through their menu, I was absolutely delighted to see a mix of both local and international flavours, all brilliantly curated. One moment you’re eyeing the local laksa, and the next you’ve been lured in by a gourmet burger that looks like it was crafted by a Picasso of the culinary world.
Menu offerings include unexpected dishes such as avocado toast topped with a spicy kimchi twist, which is a delightful fusion I never knew I needed in my life. I could almost hear my taste buds singing “Hallelujah!” as I dove into these colourful plates. Each item is designed with creativity and a sprinkle of fun, making mainstream dining feel like a distant memory. The best part? There’s an option for every dietary preference, so none of your pals will be left munching on just a breadstick. How considerate!
Wild Crumbs
If you’re craving some unabashedly unique baked goods, Wild Crumbs is the perfect destination. Seriously, just the name alone had me intrigued! When I first stumbled upon this gem, I wasn’t quite sure whether I’d entered a bakery or a whimsical art gallery. The creative concoctions on display were like something out of a child’s dream. Imagine donuts that look like they were painted by Picasso—they’re that colourful! I mean, the last time I saw something that wild, it was my attempts at baking following a series of increasingly disastrous Pinterest recipes. But at Wild Crumbs, they nail it perfectly—deliciousness meets eccentricity! Let me assure you that your taste buds will experience a thrilling journey!
Quirky baked goods
If you’re like me and fancy a bit of adventure in your life, you’re going to have a great time with the selection at Wild Crumbs. I once tried a rainbow croissant, which, if I’m honest, could’ve doubled as a prop in a circus performance. It was so spectacular that I almost felt guilty for eating it—almost! Each bite was flaky and gooey, with a delightful burst of flavours that made me feel like a kid tearing into the best birthday cake ever. Plus, they have flavours that you wouldn’t normally expect, like chocolate basil and strawberry pistachio. At the same time, I felt both sophisticated and utterly ridiculous, a combination that epitomizes the essence of great culinary experiences!
Sweet treats galore
With every step I took inside Wild Crumbs, it became more and more evident that the space was a veritable treasure trove of sweet treats. There were cakes that resembled garden gnomes and cupcakes dressed up like your favourite cartoon characters. I might have even teared up a bit when confronted with a cupcake styled as my childhood favourite, a flying unicorn. It’s safe to say that if you have a penchant for sweet, intriguing desserts, Wild Crumbs is practically your Disneyland.
Sweet treats are not just about aesthetics; they taste absolutely divine too! Their signature brownies are so dense and fudgy, they practically demand to be paired with a café latte to counterbalance the indulgence. And let’s not even discuss their seasonal offerings! Suddenly, you are indulging in a pumpkin spice muffin that is Halloween-themed, and the next moment, you are presented with a gingerbread biscuit that is so charming that you are almost hesitant to consume it—almost. Every visit promises something new and creatively delightful to satiate your sweet tooth, and believe me, you’ll leave with a big smile and possibly a little frosting on your nose.
63 Laksa
Despite having visited countless hawker centres in Singapore, my heart skips a beat whenever I step into 63 Laksa. This little gem, tucked away in the heart of Buona Vista, has a charming blend of modern and traditional vibes. The moment I entered, the warm aromas of spices hit me like a comforting blanket. I was on a mission to unearth the best laksa, and my taste buds were ready for an adventure. As I scanned the menu, I felt the pressure of indecision creeping in. Should I opt for the extra spicy version or stick with the original? In the end, my adventurous spirit won out, and I thought, “How bad could it be? After all, this is Singapore!” Spoiler alert: it was indeed fiery, but my taste buds were dancing in pure bliss!
Spicy Noodle Dish
Assuming you enjoy a bit of heat in your life, the spicy noodle dish at 63 Laksa promises a whirlwind of flavours that are both bold and delicious. When my steaming bowl arrived, it seemed almost too beautiful to eat—a vibrant mixture of noodles, prawns, and tofu swimming in a fiery orange broth. I could feel my heart racing in anticipation, and I thought to myself, “This is it, my friends!” As soon as I took my first slurp, I was met with a robust kick of spice that had me questioning my life choices. But oh, the satisfaction! A fine line between pleasure and pain—that’s where true culinary love resides.
Creamy Coconut Broth
While looking for the perfect laksa, one cannot overlook the creamy coconut broth that envelops those delectable noodles. Upon my first sip, I felt transported to some tropical paradise. The rich, creamy texture enveloped my senses and expertly balanced the spice that was dancing on my tongue. I savoured each mouthful as though I were a connoisseur at a fancy restaurant—only to be reminded that I was indeed at a hawker stall. The secret to this liquid gold is the perfect blend of spices and coconut milk, creating a taste that lingers long after your meal is finished. Pro tip: don’t even bother counting calories here; just dive in and let the broth work its magic!
Broth lovers will find themselves enamoured with the craftsmanship that goes into creating this heavenly concoction. The way the coconut cream mingles with the spice creates a symphony of flavours that’s simply irresistible. Each spoonful offers a luxurious texture, making it difficult to share—though I did try, until my friend gave me that look that screamed, “You’re not giving me any of that, are you?” 63 As I wiped the last few drops from the bowl with a stray piece of prawn, I knew I’d be back for a repeat performance soon!
MONKI
MONKI is a haven for brunch enthusiasts. Located in the bustling heart of Buona Vista, this place bursts with life and colour, much like the dishes they serve. As soon as you walk in, you’re enveloped in a playful vibe, with vibrant décor and cheeky monkey art that makes you feel like you’ve just stumbled into an exotic jungle. I must admit, my Instagram feed was filled with endless opportunities to share those flawless brunch moments! The moment I sat down, I felt as though brunch had officially elevated to a delightful art form.
Playful brunch spot
The menu is packed with whimsical offerings that make brunching at MONKI feel like a mini adventure. You might find yourself torn between the ever-inviting Bananalicious French Toast and the more substantial options like the Monkey’s Big Breakfast, which, if eaten all at once, could easily power you through a PowerPoint presentation (not that I would recommend it!). It’s not just about the food; it’s the laughter shared over a plate of deliciousness, where every bite feels like a playful interaction with your dish. I can vividly recall the time I tried to impress my mates with how sophisticated I was by ordering something fancy, only to end up wearing half of it—let’s just say the words ‘French Toast’ and ‘decadent mess’ can exist in the same sentence!
Fun fusion dishes
Even more intriguing are their fun fusion dishes that combine local flavours with a twist. MONKI doesn’t shy away from mixing things up; it’s like they’ve created a delicately orchestrated culinary symphony. One memorable dish was the Laksa pasta—yes, you read that right—Italian meets Singaporean in a creamy coconut broth that had me questioning why I hadn’t thought of this culinary combo before! I admit that I briefly stared at my bowl, questioning if it was truly as delicious as it seemed. Each bite was a little festival of flavours dancing on my taste buds, and I sported quite the smile as I savoured every last morsel.
Spot on with their playful approach, MONKI delivers a dining experience that’s as delicious as it is entertaining. With every dish that arrives, you can’t help but feel a sense of excitement. They even manage to sneak in quirky names for their menu items that had me chuckling more than once—a bit of wit doesn’t hurt when combined with a hearty meal, does it? Whether you’re out for a lazy Sunday or just a mid-week treat, MONKI’s fun fusion dishes will put a playful swing in your step!
Long Black Cafe
Long Black Cafe is a must-visit location for all coffee enthusiasts, offering a wealth of discoveries. I wandered in expecting just another coffee joint, but what I found was akin to stepping into coffee heaven. The aroma of freshly ground beans wafting through the air wraps around you like a warm blanket, instantly enveloping your senses. Every cup served here is a testament to their craft; it’s a place where I have often found myself enjoying a flawless long black, evoking flavours that dance around on my palate as if auditioning for a spot in my culinary hall of fame.
Coffee lovers’ haven
Some might say that I could easily become a regular fixture at Long Black Cafe, and I wouldn’t argue with them! The baristas here seem to possess a superhuman ability to serve up rich, velvety lattes, which leave me questioning if I will ever be able to drink instant coffee ever again. One afternoon, I decided to put the cappuccino to the test—after a hearty debate with my taste buds, it managed to win me over with its perfect frothiness and just the right amount of cocoa sprinkle. I even thought I saw a nearby coffee snob, clearly impressed by the barista’s magic.
Cozy atmosphere
Little did I know that the delights of Long Black Cafe extend beyond just coffee. The atmosphere is as inviting as the charm of a dear old friend, with rustic wooden tables, comfy chairs, and the soft hum of light chatter creating a cosy haven perfect for both working and unwinding. I often find myself unhurriedly sipping on my cup whilst plugging away at my latest blog post—or simply just watching the world go by and plotting my next foodie adventure over a flaky croissant that would make the French themselves envious.
With every visit, I’m greeted with that lovely, familiar vibe that makes you want to sink into your seat and never leave. Whether you’re nestled in a corner or perched at the bar, the combination of delightful latte art and friendly conversation makes Long Black Cafe a prime spot to relish both your drink and the delightful ambiance that feels like home.
Ghim Moh Carrot Cake
Once again, I find myself wandering through the vibrant streets of Buona Vista on a quest for yet another food discovery. This time, my taste buds led me to Ghim Moh Carrot Cake, a gem nestled within the bustling hawker stalls. You see, this isn’t your typical dessert cake with the fluffy icing and layers of joy—it’s a savoury delight that has made its mark in Singapore’s culinary scene. When I first tried it, I was slightly apprehensive. After all, carrot cake sounds like it should belong on a dessert table, but let me tell you, my expectations were flipped upside down! Imagine perfectly pan-fried cubes of radish cake, served hot and adorned with a generous drizzle of sweet soy sauce and a sprinkling of spring onions. It’s absolutely delightful! If that doesn’t entice your taste buds, I’m not sure what will.
Legendary Local Dessert
Dessert can often feel like a guilty pleasure, but when it’s savoury like this carrot cake, who needs to feel guilty? In Singapore, we have a knack for twisting expectations and that’s where the Ghim Moh Carrot Cake stands victorious. The locals swear by this dish, and I must admit, I joined the ranks wholeheartedly. It’s a bit of an institution in its own right, with flavours that dance on your palate and create a symphony of taste that leaves you singing hallelujah! If you close your eyes while eating it, you might just feel transported to a blissful state. Paired with some chilli sauce on the side, you can elevate the experience to new fiery heights. Who knew carrots could be such a culinary star?
Surprisingly Tasty Experience
The first bite of Ghim Moh Carrot Cake hit me like a delicious truck. I wasn’t prepared for the umami explosion that followed! There’s something utterly satisfying about the texture—crispy edges with a tender centre, almost like biting into a fluffy cloud that’s somehow been fried to perfection. I cheekily watched as others around me nodded their heads in approval after their first bites, each one swiftly reaching for another to bolster their newly ignited obsession. It was as if we were part of some secret fan club, where the initiation rite involved managing to eat a few too many pieces while chuckling at our shared addiction.
Ghim Moh proves that food can be both surprising and deeply satisfying. I often reflect on that initial encounter, when my palate dispelled any preconceived notions I held about carrot cake. It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes, stepping outside of your comfort zone in the name of culinary exploration can lead to some surprisingly tasty—and slightly addictive—experiences. What can I say? I suppose I’m a sucker for a good surprise, especially when it involves food!
Orange & Teal
Many food enthusiasts have discovered Orange & Teal, and it truly feels like entering a delightful culinary realm. This gem is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience wrapped in hues of orange and teal that make you feel like you’re dining on a trendy beach holiday, even when Singapore’s humidity is busily reminding you that you’re actually in the tropics. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between laid-back and chic, which makes it an excellent spot to sit back, relax, and savour some scrumptious dishes while pretending to be a food critic for Instagram.
Seated at one of their vivid tables, I couldn’t help but feel excited about what was coming my way. The menu boasts a fantastic selection, and each dish seems to shout, “Take a photo of me!” It appears as though the chef and plate decorators have worked together to craft bites that are almost too good to eat. However, as tempting as it is to just snap pictures, I assure you that it’s absolutely worth diving right into those delectable creations, especially after you’ve garnered enough likes for your Instagram post.
Instagram-worthy dishes
One bite into their signature dishes, and it’s a new contender for the “Best Decision of My Week” award. The presentation is nothing short of art; colourful, vibrant, and practically glowing. I ordered the Lemon Thyme Chicken, and I must say, it not only looked stunning, but it was flavour-packed too! Even the potatoes, which I was convinced were just sidekicks, were bursting with personality. In all honesty, my meal could be the subject of a gallery—it will remain on my Instagram feed indefinitely, nestled next to a rather embarrassing photograph of me attempting to consume a sloppy burger last week.
I couldn’t resist complimenting the dish with their captivating avocado toast topped with poached eggs. It was a green masterpiece, almost intimidating in its perfection but utterly inviting at the same time. I can already hear my taste buds calling out for a repeat performance!
Creative coffee blends
The coffee at Orange & Teal is just as captivating as the food, and that’s saying something! The baristas seem to possess some sort of wizardry, crafting coffee blends that have transformed my usual, mundane coffee runs into an adventure. The first time I tried their signature matcha latte, I thought, “Is this even coffee?” But the well-balanced flavours danced a delightful cha-cha in my mouth, and before I knew it, I was hooked! Certainly an improvement from my usual flat white, wouldn’t you agree?
Any coffee enthusiast can appreciate their willingness to experiment, which is precisely what I did when I decided to try something completely off-piste—a salted caramel cold brew. Honestly, it felt like drinking dessert, and I was 100% in for that sugar high. From now on, every visit to Orange & Teal will undoubtedly include at least one of their innovative coffee concoctions, as I strive to maintain a sense of surprise in my life, particularly after the shocking experience of a forgotten milk order. No, not again!
So Pho
Not your average Vietnamese eatery, So Pho offers a casual dining experience that’ll have you wading through deliciousness faster than you can say “pho”. Conveniently situated within The Star Vista, So Pho serves as an ideal respite after a strenuous shopping day or when you’re trying to avoid the MRT escalator stairs due to leg fatigue. With its inviting atmosphere and friendly service, you can unwind while slurping down some seriously tasty noodles. Trust me, you’ll be mesmerised by those fragrant bowls as soon as they’re set down in front of you.
Halal-certified Vietnamese
Even if you’re a fussy eater—like I tend to be when it comes to trying new cuisines—So Pho’s halal-certified Vietnamese menu ensures you can dig in without any worries. They’ve got all the classic dishes you would expect, but the best part is that no pork or alcohol is present anywhere in the kitchen. I, being a lover of banh mi, was quite chuffed to stumble upon their variety because nothing beats a crispy baguette stuffed with tender meat and fresh greens. Additionally, you can enjoy your meal with your friends without any food conflicts—everyone can enjoy their meal without any issues!
Comforting warm bowls
One of the star attractions has to be their comforting warm bowls of pho, which are so inviting that they might as well be wearing a hug-shaped sign. The fragrant broth is made with a mix of herbs and spices, simmered for hours to create that mind-blowing taste that feels like a warm embrace on a chilly day. At times when life seemed overwhelming, a steaming bowl of beef pho made everything seem right again—at least until I had to face my laundry pile again!
Halal-certified and utterly scrumptious, their pho comes with generous portions of beef just swimming in that umami-laden broth. I’ve often remarked that if I spent as much time at So Pho as I do with my family, they might just send out search parties. However, I must admit that when it comes to indulging in these warm bowls, I have a clear understanding of my life priorities—nothing expresses “I’m having a good day” quite like a bowl of pho!
Summing up
As I wrap up my culinary escapades around Buona Vista, I can’t help but chuckle at the delightful food finds that have crossed my path. From the hidden gem that is EAT. B1-38, where slurping down a bowl of traditional laksa feels more like a competitive sport than a meal, to the savoury joy of munching on carrot cake from Ghim Moh—the kind that makes your heart sing while your taste buds do a little jig. I fondly recall the time I got into an enthusiastic debate about which monsoon season delicacy reigned supreme, only to win through sheer persuasive hunger in a long, indulgent dinner with friends at So Pho. Honestly, it’s difficult to take life too seriously when there are so many delectable dishes and a charming atmosphere to enjoy.
These weird yet wonderful eateries truly capture the essence of what I love about food culture here. Each bite is not just about the flavours but also the experiences that accompany them—like the chance meetings with fellow food lovers who spontaneously burst into laughter over an overflowing bowl of Vietnamese pho. Oh, and let’s not forget about the quirky names of these cafés; who wouldn’t want to enjoy a “Long Black” coffee after an afternoon of delightful feasting? So, if you ever find yourself near Buona Vista, do give these places a visit—I promise your stomach will thank you, and you’ll likely leave with a story or two to share over happy hour!
