2. Make lunch plans at Jack’s Cola Cafe
One of our favourite family-friendly restaurants, Jack’s Place, has launched a re-invented and youthful brand extension called Jack’s Cola Cafe. You can expect popular Jack’s Place cakes and pastries, pies, and even collaborations with homegrown brands such as ice cream creamery Udders, and coffee brand Smitten Coffee. If you’re planning a picnic, you can also drop by their retail section which sells pasta, craft beer coffee beans and even pre-packaged food.

3. Tuck into a hearty bowl of rice (or salad)
These colourful bowls from Grain Traders have been making their rounds on our social media platforms and we can’t deny that they look good. Thankfully, they pack a punch with their taste as well. Build your own meal by picking a grain, a protein and top it off with vegetables. We particularly liked their signature bowl, the El Hibaro, which comes with tender striploin, charred vegetables and white sushi rice.
