The Populus

A popular brunch spot around the Tanjong Pagar area. Arrived at around 11 AM, and the place was already almost full. Seafood Linguine - Linguine with crab meat, crab roe, and cherry tomatoes. The portion of seafood was surprisingly generous, and both the crab meat and roe were really fresh and tender. Great value for money considering the ingredients! The pasta-to-seafood ratio was just right, so you could enjoy a bite of seafood with every bite of pasta. It would have been even better with a little more vegetables, though, as the dish started to taste slightly rich and heavy towards the end.

Enjoyed a lovely coffee date with my girlfriend at Populus! The café has a cosy, inviting ambience — the perfect spot to slow down, unwind and catch up over a good cup of coffee. The moment the coffee arrived, its rich, aromatic fragrance was simply irresistible. Every sip was smooth and satisfying, with a beautiful depth of flavour that made the coffee feel like a little moment of magic. There’s something special about a well-brewed cup that awakens the senses and turns an ordinary coffee break into a delightful experience. The food looked equally tempting, and we were already eyeing the dishes around us! Definitely coming back to try their lunch menu. Good coffee, a cosy atmosphere and lovely company — sometimes, that’s all you need for a perfect afternoon.

I went to The Populus to try the special throwback dish, the Wagyu Beef Rendang Donburi, and it really stood out for me. The beef was incredibly tender, and the rendang had a deep, spiced flavor that worked well with the homemade achar. The onsen egg added a nice finishing touch and brought everything together nicely.
