The LoKal
Ever eaten breakfast or brunch at Pope Joan in Melbourne?
Well, The LoKal has been designed in line with that, complete with a star-studded team of Australian chefs.
The design of the restaurant itself is a great showcase of Singapore’s heritage – the Peranakan tiled walls contrast with the timber floors, while the added décor touches, such as the upside down potted plants, give the place a quirky touch.

The Beast
Do you prefer brunch to breakfast?
If so, then you’ll definitely love the brunch menu at The Beast. Although it is only served up on the weekends, these are dishes well worth waiting for!
What’s so good about The Beast?
It’s a Southern-style restaurant and bar, with their menu items being inspired by classic Southern dishes. One of their most popular breakfast dishes is their Chicken and Waffles, with many arguing that this is where you will find the best chicken and waffles on the entire island.
What makes them so tasty?
The fact that the chicken has been soaked in a special brine for 24 hours, making it ultra juicy. It is then fried until it is perfectly crisp, before being served up with buttermilk and a homemade bourbon-maple butter sauce.
Other Southern classics include:
- The Southern Big Breakfast
- Country Fried Steak Benedict
- Sweet and savory pancakes
Of course, since this is a weekend brunch rather than a weekday breakfast, you could also indulge yourself in one of their American craft beers, or even their specialty cocktails. The bar makes their very own Southern Comfort, inspired by the tradition of moonshining, and also boast a barrel-aging program when it comes to their cocktails.
