You might not be a morning person, but you’re probably a breakfast person regardless of what time of day it is. A surefire way to start the day right is to have a hearty first meal before setting off into the world. If you’re looking for somewhere to get that kick, get out of those pajamas and grab the best breakfasts in all of Singapore.
Sometimes, the best breakfast is the simplest, like a Kaya Toast with Kopi Gu You (Bulletproof Coffee) at Heap Seng Leong. The old traditional Singaporean breakfast of coffee with milk, sugar, and butter paired with fluffy toast is more than enough to wake you up on most days.

You can’t say breakfast in Singapore without nasi lemak. At Selera Rasa, you can get the Royal Rumble—basically, an order of nasi lemak with a piece of everything on their menu. A piece of chicken, fried fish, otah, anchovies, hash browns, and a fried egg on top of coconut rice is the answer when you wake up extra hungry.

The name Forty Hands probably comes from the droves of hungry patrons trying to claw their way into the cafe to get a taste of their wobbly Eggs Benedict—oozing with hollandaise sauce on soft brioche buns. Even if it’s 2:00PM, it’s still a perfectly acceptable time for breakfast if you’re trying to dodge the crowd at Tiong Bahru.
