🍳 Breakfast at Melt Café — Quiet Luxury Meets a Seriously Good Spread

Had breakfast at Melt Café in Mandarin Oriental Singapore and it was one of those mornings that felt like an actual treat. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was calm, welcoming, and just the right kind of elegant—not stiff, just smooth. Staff were friendly, super attentive, and the space had this understated charm with lots of natural light and touches of greenery.

Started with the Eggs Benedict, and it came out perfectly plated—runny yolks, rich hollandaise, and toasted muffin that held up nicely. Then moved on to the Asian corner—the fish congee was silky with condiments on the side, and the dim sum basket had char siew bao and siew mai that were freshly steamed and flavorful.

I wasn’t planning on diving into the Indian station, but the aroma changed my mind—naan, tandoori chicken, and chickpea curry that was warm, spicy, and comforting. Definitely didn’t feel like buffet food, more like something you’d get at a proper tandoor kitchen.

There was even a carving station serving up roast beef and pork belly, which felt pretty extra for breakfast but I wasn’t complaining. Everything was served warm and portioned by staff so it didn’t turn into a mad buffet free-for-all.

And the desserts? Easily one of the best parts. I had mini cheesecakes, a pandan cream puff, and banana pancakes with maple syrup. Couldn’t resist grabbing waffles with ice cream from the live station before I left—definitely worth it.

What stood out most, beyond the food, was how peaceful the whole experience was. Even when the café got busy, it never felt rushed or noisy. The service was on point—quick refills, thoughtful check-ins, and always with a smile.

If you’re staying at the Mandarin Oriental or just nearby at Marina Square, Melt Café is the kind of place that makes breakfast feel special without being over-the-top. Quality food, relaxed luxury, and a start to the day that actually feels like a moment.
