seng coffee bar review

Seng Coffee Bar is a hidden gem that joins the ranks of new openings like The Brewing Ground in the East Coast area.

The area is generally quite crowded with cafes, but the café scene there is continuously growing. There’s an undeniable attractiveness to the rustic charm of the many shophouses in the area.

Seng Coffee Bar is an interesting concept. It’s actually opened by the daughter of Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge, which is located next door.

Despite being opened by a historic brand like that, Seng Coffee Bar’s décor is actually relatively snazzy and modern.

Green tiles adorn the counter and the entire shop space is sleekly dressed in chic industrial streaks of grey and exposed surfaces.

In contrast, their food carries a lot of Asian influences to make them stand out from the crowd.

If a chicken patty is too heavy, go for the lighter and flakier Fried Cod Fish Burger (S$23). It comes with miso cod fish and specially made tartare sauce to distinguish it from other fish burgers.
