An Aussie’s go-to brekkie place in Singapore, Jimmy Monkey does great Aussie style coffee and simple breakfasts in Buona Vista and Paya Lebar. Try the smashed avocado on toast with dukkah and feta.

Although they don’t have a separate kids’ menu per se, their huge array of unique dishes, inspired by countries around the world, guarantees munchkin will find something they want to eat.

24. Springleaf Prata Place
Sometimes you just want some really good, crispy prata for breakfast! Springleaf never disappoints, and we love that they have somehow made everything taste good on a prata. For kids, we say go for classics like plain, egg or cheese prata, and if they don’t mind trying something a little different (yet totally delicious), a banana prata or tissue prata (pictured above) would do the trick. For parents, try the Plaster Blaster – it’s basically Egg’s Benedict on a prata, complete with poached egg.
Serving breakfast from: most open from 8am (their West Coast outlet is open 24 hours!)
Springleaf, multiple locations in Singapore including Springleaf Garden, Upper Bukit Timah Road, Woodlands Road and Tampines
