👀 Wyd this weekend?

It’s time for your weekly Belly Bites 😋

Is it just me, or do I think we ALL need a getaway this weekend 😅 

While I wish I could give you and the belly bites fam a holiday, the best I can do is drop some amazing food places for you to try (that’s not bad either right??)

Here’s what we got coming up!

• If you need a coffee fix like I do, here’s what I’m eyeing 👀 

• Plan a fun weekend out with 5 places that bring the vibes 🎉 

• Treat yourself for making it through August with some drinks! 🍻

🌟 Foodie Spotlight

I don’t know about you, but I’m in DESPERATE need of some coffee this weekend. And I’ve got my eyes set on…

Hideout Coffee Bar @ Mackenzie Road!

If you’re like me and you need a rich coffee, hearty sandwiches, and cozy vibes right now, then here’s where you need to be 🤤 

• ☕ Specialty coffee and single-origin pour-overs

• 🥪 Must-try sandwiches like Butter Chick and Salt Beef

• 🌳 Casual outdoor seating and really good vibes to chill with friends

🖐️ Top Picks of The Week!

I chose these places for their weekend-esque vibes! I tried to go for new places that you guys might not have heard of, but they’re some of my favourites!

Citrus By The Pool 🥙 (Link)

If you’re looking for casual halal comfort food with a twist, Citrus By The Pool is your go-to. Their international menu and great coffee make for perfect weekend chill-outs. I think everyone in Woodlands especially would know this place.

Chin Mee Chin Confectionery 🍞 (Link)

This old-school bakery in Katong is a TREASURE trove for traditional kaya buns and nostalgic pastries. I always find myself coming back for that perfect crispy crust and soft centre. Breakfast, dessert, it’s good anytime of the day!

Abundance 🥟 (Link)

This place is one of my absolute favourites. If you want Taiwanese street snacks like gua bao or mala popcorn chicken, Abundance’s baos and chill patio vibe are becoming a staple for me… plus the craft beer selection is a bonus (wink wink)

Station by Kotuwa 🍗 (Link)

If you want bold, authentic Sri Lankan flavors in a lively open-air setting, Station by Kotuwa is where to go. Think of fresh, aromatic curries and grilled dishes in a casual, buzzing atmosphere. Could be your weekend vibe!

LimCha Teahouse Cafe 🍵 (Link)

LimCha is a quiet teahouse specializing in traditional Teochew teas, it’s honestly quite an experience visiting them! They’ve also got some light bites, and it’s a nice escape from the busy East Coast Road scene.

🗞️ What’s Newsworthy

There’s really no better way to celebrate making it through August than with the “ULTIMATE” craft beer festival: Brewnanza Fest by Brewlander! 🍻
