DUTCH BABY CAFE

Eating out can be hard if you have picky eaters in the family. Whether you’re after sweet treats or hearty staples, Dutch Baby Cafe’s offerings will satiate the taste buds of young and old. Served in hot cast iron pans straight from the oven, the cafe’s signature pillowy soft pancakes with crispy sides are a sight to behold.

Those with a sweet tooth will appreciate the cafe’s signature Caramel Apple, Banana Chocolate or Mixed Berry pancakes, while savoury fans will enjoy the Maple Grapefruit or Caesar Bacon pancakes, generously peppered with succulent slices of meat. Add freshly brewed coffee and fresh fuit tarts into the mix for a cosy spot of afternoon tea. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial after a big day out, try the Baked Cheese Curry Rice, which comes in three variants—Keema (minced meat), Eggplant and Lemon Chicken—or the fusion udon. www.dutchbabycafe.com.sg.

SUPER LOCO

Super Loco’s name couldn’t be more apt, for it sends palates crazy—in the best way possible, of course. Its menu of authentic Mexican dishes boasts fresh and robust favourites like spicy, cheesy meat-filled burritos and build-your-own tacos, which arrive at the table in Instagram-worthy fashion; not to mention with a sunny backdrop of Robertson Quay. Children, too, get their own selection of delectable bites, plus “Lil’ Amigo” parties with a host of fun activities on selected holidays. www.super-loco.com.

JAMIE’S ITALIAN

Trust Jamie Oliver—the celebrity chef and restaurateur who started Jamie’s Food Revolution, a global movement to feed ourselves for a better future—to take a kids menu seriously. Children, after all, are at the heart of this father of five’s global petition for improved food education in schools and households. At Jamie’s Italian, dishes for the little ones are designed to coax them into eating healthier with vibrant hues and flavours.

Think Fish in a Bag, baked with blanched green beans, tomatoes and potatoes; and Secret Seven Tomato Pasta, comprising homemade pasta smothered in Jamie’s seven-veg tomato sauce, topped with a cheddar cheese crust and herby breadcrumbs. All kid’s dishes come with Shake-Me salads, turning eating greens into a fun-filled experience. www.jamieoliver.com/italian/singapore.
