New in town: HotChic², The Grandstand — Pet-friendly cafe with uniquely delectable set meals

If you find the name Hot Chic familiar, you’ve probably visited the old Hot Chic that used to be at Bukit Batok. Back stronger is HotChic², the newly refurbished pet-friendly cafe that allows all you pet parents to bring your furbabies out for a mingling session while you enjoy a lavish, quality meal.

Situated at The Grandstand, diners can expect to busk in the charming ambience filled with picturesque spots for endless photo-taking sessions. The chic and minimalistic interior dining space aside, HotChic² also houses an alfresco area perfect for your pets to laze or roam around as you feast on plates of fusion Western dishes. 

A must-try during your visit is the cafe’s crowd favourite, Oppa Su Dong Po (S$27), a Korean-Taiwanese inspired dish that features tender slow-braised pork belly, fresh lettuce and tangy kimchi. Eat the braised pork belly alone to savour its natural flavours or wrap them up in the lettuce and kimchi for a unique Korean BBQ experience.

Adventurous diners who prefer a change from regular cafe food should opt for HotChic²’s When-Chef-Tries-To-Be-Atas (S$68) menu. Specially curated for foodies who are looking for something unconventional, this three-course menu promises an explosive flavour journey, beginning with a plate of Bacon Foie Gras Pate On Spiced Furikake Sourdough, followed by a Pan-roasted Shichimi-rubbed Pigeon With Braised Quail Eggs. This gastronomic menu ends with a secret dessert that changes from time to time. So, get ready to be in for a surprise!

Looking for an affordable meal? HotChic² offers Lunch Sets priced from S$16.90 where you can choose a starter and main. Your set will also come with a cup of Homemade Ice Lemon Tea to mark a refreshing end to a satisfying meal.
