This popular chain of Japanese cafes have charmed the hearts of Singaporeans with its warm rustic decor, Japanese-style cafe grub, and yummy coffee. Everything about Japanese cafes are a little bit softer, a little bit more cloud-like and little richer: and the same is true of Hoshino, which serves up its black brews and scrummy all-day brunch plates with pizazz and a special Japanese je-ne-sais-quoi.

New to the chain is a hearty brunch menu, featuring its signature pillowy Japanese-style pancakes and fluffy “omu” omelette alongside different kinds of breakfast meats: there’s bacon, smoked salmon, and even slices of angus steak. If you like a sweet breakfast, order a plate of their chewy French toast strewn with berries and whipped cream, finished with a drizzle of maple syrup. If you like your breakfast with eggs, there’s even buttery toast soldiers that you dip into soft-coddled eggs. Come lunch hour, the kitchen trots out a gamut of Japanese-Western favourites: think pastas, savoury cheese-studded souffles, and omu rice in numerous shapes and forms. At the end of it, perk yourself up with their delicately brewed coffees for the perfect Japanese cafe experience. (Mar 2017)
