Yet another franchise arrives in Singapore, this time from New York. DeDe Lahman and Neil Kleinberg first set up shop in the Lower East Side, and their success – built on a following for their buttermilk fried chicken with waffles ($21), eggs Benedicts ($20) and New York pancakes ($19) – has brought them their first South-East Asian outpost on Purvis Street.
Other diner fare like crispy potato pancakes with house-smoked salmon ($20), Southern breakfast ($18) with sugar-cured bacon and cheese grits, and the promise of an Instagrammable brunch have helped it grow a queue since it opened. Clinton Street has a no-reservations policy, so this is strictly for the brunch obsessed. Come in your most comfy shoes for the wait.
