Here’s one for those of you who hate human interaction. This corner café in the Esplanade nails the solodining experience without any of the associated awkwardness. Machines dispense your food but the options at Kissa Kalm's go above and beyond Nissin instant cup noodles.
WHAT’S COOL
Dig into a hot donburi (prices start from $5) from the Wafu vending machine, where meals are curated with quality ingredients like wagyu beef and Hokkaido snow crab. Save space for snacks and drinks imported from Japan or a hot cup of coffee or tea. The space is minimalist and rather sterile so eating alone can be a peaceful escape.
