Savour the taste of home with modernised local favourites
Started in 2014, Sinpopo could be considered one of the forerunners of creative mod-sin (Modern Singaporean) food, at least for the cafe scene.
Their shop house cafe, located in the historical Joo Chiat neighbourhood, sets the scene for honest-to-goodness and comforting home-style food.
Here are four dishes to try:
2. Nonya Kiam Chye Arg!, $16
Those who know and love the quintessentially traditional Nonya dish, Kiam Chye Arg (Salted Vegetable Duck Soup), will be satisfied by Sinpopo’s playful take on it.
Their version comes with a generous heap of preserved vegetables and a crisp duck confit. The savoury yet salty flavours are well balanced and not too overwhelming.
