The new restaurant/cafe The Mayor of Tiny Town, offers a waffle-ful experience. Be pampered by a wide selection of sweet and savory waffles accompanied by ice cream, fresh fruits, scrambled eggs and other flavorful ingredients.

Their waffle batter is freshly made from scratch every day and baked only when ordered, to create the magical rich, crispy, golden brown and fluffy texture.

Their best seller is the perfect combination of slow poached pink lady apples in cinnamon sauce, vanilla ice cream and their homemade waffles. You can also opt for the scrambled egg and ham waffle from the All-day brunch menu which includes runny scrambled eggs, waffles and fresh greens tossed in zesty orange oil.

Their inspiration of café food comes from the intriguing fusion of Chinese ingredients with Western dishes such as their salad with century egg terrain, tossed with homemade lemon ginger mint.

Do try their interpretation of the traditional Teriyaki chicken where they serve it between slices of thick toast instead. Apart from these, they serve the usual brunch suspect of Royal eggs and many more.

They serve the whole collection of Gryphon Artisan tea as well as their secret house blend of coffees made from freshly roasted (100%) Arabica coffee beans.

The Fabulous Baker Boy opened his first ever bakery café situated at the Viridian Art House along River Valley Road. It’s perched on a grassy knoll at the foot of Fort Canning Park in the canteen of the former River Valley Swimming Complex. Central yet conveniently tucked away, The Fabulous Baker Boy café is a wonderful new way to experience food, art and nature right in the heart of our busy city.

The café features wholesome and hearty fare such as freshly made pastas, cottage pies, homemade soups, sandwiches and fresh salads. On weekends, enjoy an all day brunch with waffles, pancakes, eggs benedict and pre-ordered Sunday Roasts. The full range of his popular cakes such as his Ab Fab Red Velvet cake and his salted caramel chocolate torte are served.

Juwanda Hassim aka The Fabulous Baker Boy is the head chef and owner who has made a name for himself in the local theatre scene with his booming voice and larger than life personality. Besides his talent on stage, he has experience running restaurants in three countries. This new café is a dream come true as it marries his two life-long passions: food and art.

The venue is just so unique and versatile. It can be a quiet creative space or fun place to have a family gathering or party. Collaborations with The Viridian Art House for birthday parties that include some craft or fun baking sessions are also in the works. 

Have a try at one of his signature cakes;  the apple cider stacker, a true original, lightly spiced with cinnamon, home made apple sauce with apple cider and wrapped with a salted caramel cream cheese frosting.

The NUS University Town (UTown), the first of its kind in Singapore’s higher learning landscape, opens its doors in 2011. Located across the NUS Kent Ridge campus, this is where some 2,400 undergraduate students, 1,700 graduate students and 1,000 researchers will work, live, and learn in close proximity.

Undergraduates staying in the Residential Colleges have the opportunity to combine the vibrancy of campus living with an exciting multidisciplinary academic programme. Graduate students moving into the Graduate Residence can look forward to facilities dedicated to the university’s growing graduate community. Top researchers from world-class research institutes will gather under one roof to form loci of innovation at the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE).  

UTown, which is being developed in phases, will be launching its two undergraduate residential colleges - Cinnamon (that houses the University Scholars Programme) and Tembusu Colleges, in its initial phase in August 2011. Open to all new undergraduates and existing students, each residential college admits up to 600 students. Residents are encouraged to stay for at least 2 years to extract the optimal benefits of residential living and learning.

Each residential college has a Master who will be supported by a team of faculty fellows, graduate tutors and staff. They will develop the academic tone and character of the college. Together with their families, the Master and faculty fellows will live alongside the students.

Students will have a choice of living in single rooms or sharing a 6 bedroom suite. Room rental rates are from S$110 per room per week. Please refer to NUS Office of Student Affairs website for details on the accommodation fees.

Each college is also equipped with facilities such as theme rooms, multipurpose halls, dining halls, student lounges and common lounges. These facilities aim to create a supportive friendly environment, cultivating spirited communities through social, educational and cultural interaction.

With purposeful facilities designed to encourage an open exchange of ideas, this is where creativity, innovation and enterprise will flourish.

UTown leverages NUS’ reputation for enabling research and teaching across disciplines. It offers a new dimension in living and learning in line with the university’s mission to be a global university centred in Asia.

As an expression of NUS’ endeavour to enhance students’ learning experience, UTown is part of NUS’ long term plans to develop collaborative learning communities to engage young minds and maximize their potential.
