Kong cafe is a newly opened brunch and dining spot located at Dunearn road, right in front of King Albert Park MRT station.

At first glance, Kong might seem like a typical cafe with its minimalistic interior and artworks on the walls.

However, what makes the cafe different is their brunch menu with an Asian twist.

Kollabo coffee

But first, coffee.

Kong's coffee is made from a special house blend called Kollabo.

The espresso blend is procured from the Cerrado region in Brazil and the highlands of Aceh in Sumatra.

The combination reportedly presents customers with an aromatic coffee experience that is different from its black or milk renditions.

Brunch & food menu

Kong's brunch menu is not lacking either.

Made by a small team of staff, some of the brunch and food stuff Kong sells includes home baked pastries, cakes, brunch items, homemade falafel, chutney and hummus, among others.

Kong's signature pizza - the Bulgogi Pesto Pizza (S$18) - is made with a housemade pizza base, slabs of Korean-style beef, basil, and cheese.
