1) Tujoh
If there is one thing unique about Tujoh at PJ’s Section 17, it has to be their beautiful courtyard interior lined with various types of greenery. With a skylight and a shelf of vintage TV sets and radios, no wonder this is often a favourite dining spot among many foodies and Instagrammers. When it comes to the menu, Tujoh offers an eclectic mix of Western and Asian fusion dishes. Select one of their hearty brunch options, such as Portobello Benedict or Avocado Toast.

4) Sipping Corner Cafe
Beyond the florist of Plant and Pot Studio lies a hidden cafe, which has a forest-like setting dominated with lots of plants and greenery. They serve mainly artisanal coffees and cakes but you can also find croissant varieties like French Butter, Nutella and Chicken Ham & Cheese. Unlike most of today’s cafes, Sipping Corner doesn’t provide any WiFi service, making it perfect for those who prefer a quiet me-time moment or enjoying your favourite grub while reading a book.

5) The Farm Foodcraft
Staying true to its farm-to-table philosophy, The Farm Foodcraft insists on only the freshest ingredients possible for their food. They even have their own urban farming lab while some of the other ingredients are sourced directly from local farmers and vendors. And to ensure their utmost freshness, they usually utilise the newly-harvested ingredients on the same day. Some of the menu choices include Farmer’s Big Breakfast, Salmon Gravlax Benedict and Truffle’s & Portobello Mushroom Tagliatelle. The decor itself is particularly inviting, thanks to its cosy environment adorned with lots of greenery.
