It is common for shops and restaurants to close during Chinese New Year as everyone intends to celebrate and relax during this festive period. Shopping malls turn into a scene from Silent Hill and it’ll look like a ghost town everywhere.

But fret not. Here are eight cafes that will remain open for the pleasure of customers who yearn for cafe delicacies.

1. I Am Cafe

Situated at the corner of Haji Lane and North Bridge Road, this hip cafe serves delicious burgers such as the ‘Big Bear’ Beef Burger that consists of charcoal-grilled beef patty, onion rings, sunny-side-up egg, lettuce and tomato. A definite satisfaction to your belly! It also offers decent service but it is usually packed (especially during CNY, I bet!) and hence you have to wait for a seat out while standing in a slightly constrained space.

Address:
674 North Bridge Road, Singapore 199486

Opening Hours:
Monday to Thursday, 11am to 11pm
Friday and Saturday, 11am to 1am

2. Working Title

Interesting names of burgers, great coffee, cosy ambience: what more could you ask for during this Chinese New Year? Branded as a burger bar, Working Title offers hearty burgers such as The Working Title Tower of Power, Baconator and Hawaii Five-O. If these names are already tantalising, you are in for a treat when you feast upon their burgers. They also serve a good cup of coffee for you to sip away while appreciating the quaint interior.

3. The Lab

How would you like to dine in a cafe that resembles that of a science laboratory with test tubes, prescription bottles, and droppers used as decor? The Lab is just the cafe which will bring a novelty to your dining experience. Despite the quirks and gimmicks, the food is exceptional as well! Ranging from signature burgers such as the Heisenberger to decadent desserts like Sea Salt Brownie and Ice-cream, it will be an experiment just dining here!
