Whether you wish to snap footage or take aesthetic meals photographs, The Glasshouse is definitely the place for you. For the uninitiated, the unique outlet at CHIJMES is solely made out of glass doorways, incomes a reputation for itself as one of the crucial Instagrammable cafes in Singapore. Recently, the Instagram-famous cafe opened its doorways to a second outlet at Neil Road. Stationed between Outram Park and Tanjong Pagar MRT station, it’s on the juncture that was once the area that belonged to The Lokal.
Now that they’ve taken over, its inside differs from the earlier glasshouse aesthetic, however nonetheless follows by means of with a vibe of sophistication and magnificence.
From stone-white partitions to excessive ceilings and even forest-green marbled tables, the cafe follows an earthy theme. It follows a color palette of brown, inexperienced and white hues, and has glass home windows that expose pure gentle into the area. A stunning area!
Not solely do they serve up an area that’s alluring, a few of their dishes are good too. Unfortunately, their sizzling kitchen has not opened but as they’re nonetheless within the technique of a delicate launch. However, in case you are within the space, you would drop by for the coffees that The Glasshouse followers all so love! Or if you happen to’re in search of a chew, they’ve pastries like Banana Loaf (S$8) and their Classic Plain Croissants (S$6) as properly. Pair a cup of espresso along with a pastry and also you’re good to go.
One of the staples that I hope they’d contemplate to have on this outlet is the Grilled Cheese Sandwich (S$15) — toasted sourdough with the filling of tacky emmental, purple cheddar and brie. With a tomato relish by the facet, it provides a refreshing tang to the sandwich that may’t go fallacious. It’s a basic for me personally, as I really like my bread with cheese. Furthermore, their sourdoughs are recognized to be artisanally made.
For those that require protein or are extra well being aware, one can hope for the Sweet Potato Chilli Chicken Bowl (S$18). The rooster is roasted to a darkish char, leaving a salty aftertaste that balances out the avocado mash. Sprinkled with chick peas, roasted cherry tomatoes and basil, it makes for a wholesome bowl for many who prefer to keep away from carbohydrates. It looks like a dish that I might order after I wish to seize a fast lunch alone.
The CBD is an space recognized for its stretches of meals, drinks and coffees. Tucked within the midst of all the opposite cafes and eating places, I imagine that The Glasshouse is an efficient addition to the entire stretch. Just in time for the latest Maxwell MRT, I assume! I wouldn’t be stunned to see everybody flocking over.
