Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. No, that was not a typo.
I repeated that sentence because that’s what my mum used to do. Because the more you repeat something, the more true it becomes. That’s how mum logic works.
Another thing she used to say all the time is to never, ever, go to work hungry. And since mum always knows best, no matter how busy you are, you too should never ever go to work hungry.
And now that you can get breakfast delivered straight to your work desk in the CBD, you no longer have to. Here are 12 of the best restaurants in the CBD area that offer food delivery.
What’s the best thing to wake up to when you feel like P.Diddy in the morning? Eggs. According to some very intelligent people, nothing cures a hangover quite as well as eggs.
And Da Paolo Gastronomia certainly knows their eggs. Kick off your day with a Da Paolo Gastronomia favourite; the Smoked Salmon ($12.90). Regardless of whether you like your eggs fried or scrambled, the egg maestros at Da Paolo Gastronomia’s got you covered.
Served alongside bread, greens and of course, the smoked salmon itself, this hearty breakfast is a sure-fire way of ensuring that you enjoy an egg-cellent start to your day.

There aren’t many things better on an early morning than savouring a peanut butter and jelly (PBJ) sandwich in your sweatpants. But a PBJ with a cereal coating? Now, that’s going to take your morning to a whole other level.
Since the introduction of this novel treat, Park Bench Deli’s PB&J ($8) has been causing quite the stir. And it’s easy to see why – its thick layer of creamy peanut butter coupled with the rich jam spread is perfect for those with a major sweet tooth. Add in its uniquely crusted exterior and you have yourself a game changing sandwich.
Although it will probably clog up your arteries, the 100 likes that you’ll garner on Instagram from this very photogenic dish will make it all worth it.

Take a break from the monotony of white and wholemeal breads by trying out sourdough bread for a change. Sandwich options may be aplenty in the CBD. But finding good sourdough bread is like finding a needle in a haystack. So thank God for Gaest; your one-stop shop for Nordic cuisine with a modern touch.
Their Freshly Baked Sourdough Bread may not score high in the looks department, but it more than compensates for that with its taste. The bread itself is fresh, and word on the street is that it’s because their bread is prepared daily. A wide variety of spreads are available, but the caramel sauce would be my sauce of choice as its understated sweetness doesn’t overpower the sourness of the bread itself.
Do note however, that the cost of the Freshly Baked Sourdough Bread varies depending on which spread you opt for.

Their Morning Set ($6.80) is incredibly flexible, allowing you to choose between pairing up butter croissant or sliced bread with a mainstay in the form of either ham and cheese, egg frittata bacon or egg frittata cheese. In other words, the customisation allows you to prepare your own breakfast without any effort involved.
The energy saved from not having to prepare this meal personally means you can now use it to tackle those excel sheets glaring at you from your work desk.

Perfect for light eaters, Jewel Coffee offers a wide range of top notch coffee and light eats.
If you want to start off your morning on the right note, pairing up the Brioche Toast with Peanut Butter ($3.75) and a steaming cup of coffee of your choice would be your safest bet.
But for those of you feeling more adventurous, you might want to opt for the Brioche Toast with Vegemite ($3.75). Vegemite is still pretty much a novelty here in Singapore, so I was taken aback by its inclusion on the menu as a spread. Thick in texture and strong in flavour, vegemite is essentially a yeast extract that will either have you craving for more or gagging from its unusual taste.
So if you have never tried vegemite before, now’s the time to start. May the odds be in your favour.

Once upon a time not too long ago, bagels were hugely popular in Singapore. While its heyday has since passed, Two Men Bagel House is hoping to bring the bagel craze back to our sunny shores.
Chewy in the middle and crisp on the outside, the toasted sesame bagels that Two Men Bagel House churns out is simply out of this world. One bite is all that’s needed for you to start questioning yourself on why you weren’t into bagels before. The only fault I can find with them is that their breakfast menu is rather limited. But their gratifying bagels more than compensates for it.
Whipping up tasty bagels is no easy feat, but Two Men Bagel House certainly pulls it off.
