While their pratas are the star of the show, they also offer a range of other dishes. Dive into a world of flavourful surprises and discover why Springleaf Prata Place is a must-visit for every food lover in Singapore.
The Beef Station
Emerging as a fresh face in the beef noodles scene, The Beef Station, a family-run stall, has quickly garnered attention for its distinctive take on this beloved dish. Eschewing the typical herb-infused broth, they offer a light soup that sings with a harmonious blend of meaty sweetness. The thick gravy, a perfect companion to the smooth rice vermicelli, is a testament to their dedication to flavor.
Each slice of beef boasts a satisfying chew, striking a balance between tenderness and texture. Their beef balls, springy to the bite, carry a robust meaty essence, while the tripe becomes a sponge, absorbing the rich flavors of the soup or gravy. The dish is elevated with garnishes: crisp bean sprouts and pickled mustard greens introduce a delightful crunch, their vegetal notes contrasting with the meat's richness, all rounded off with a sprinkle of fresh coriander.
For those who appreciate a beefy broth and quality meat, The Beef Station is a culinary haven. With generous portions priced reasonably, it's not just a meal, but an experience that promises satisfaction in every bite.
True Breakfast
Nestled in Cuppage Plaza, True Breakfast serves up genuine Taiwanese breakfast treats. The cafe, having relocated from Chinatown, cleverly intertwines its name with the Chinese character 初 ‘chu’, hinting at a 'True Beginning'.
The cozy interior, adorned with toy figurines, often buzzes with eager patrons. The menu offers a range of affordable choices, from the classic Ham & Eggs Sandwich to the crispy Scallion Pancakes, reminiscent of Taiwan's street food. For a heartier meal, the Guo Shao Egg Noodles, though the noodles could be springier, are a popular pick. Don't miss out on their customizable Milk Tea to round off your meal.
With its warm ambiance and delectable offerings, it's no wonder True Breakfast sees a consistent queue of enthusiasts.
Millenia Koufu
Nestled in the heart of Millenia Walk, Koufu is more than just an eatery—it's a gastronomic delight. The ambiance, modern yet inviting, sets the stage for a menu that artfully blends Singaporean classics with international nuances. Their commitment to fresh ingredients shines through, and the thoughtful vegetarian and vegan options are a refreshing touch.
The staff, ever attentive, enhance the dining experience, while the dessert offerings are a sweet temptation hard to resist. And for those mindful of the purse strings, Koufu's promotions ensure gourmet doesn't always mean expensive.
In a nutshell, Millenia Koufu is where flavors, ambiance, and value converge, making it a must-visit urban retreat.
