The Most Paw-Some Pet-Friendly Hangouts In Singapore
ICYDK, there's a new food pop-up right beside Kallang Riverside Park. Say woof and meow to Gourmet Park Kampong Bugis, a pet-friendly food pop-up tucked away in lush surroundings. It's the purr-fect place where you and your furry friends can relax, dine, and unwind together.
Open until the end of December 2024, this pop-up features five homegrown brands (Breakfast by Carnaby, The Goodburger, Quattro, Meatsmith, Backyard Bakers), an exciting schedule of chef collaborations, grill-outs, and experiential events.
We swung by to check out the place. Here are some standout items from the menu:

Charred Corn Ribs
This starter was *chef's kiss*. The smokey bi-coloured corn was expertly charred, offering a tantalising hint of smokiness that paired beautifully with the rich, caramelised notes of gula butter. The vibrant coriander and green chilli dressing added a fresh, zesty kick, while a dusting of parmesan and smoked paprika elevated the dish with a perfect balance of umami and spice.

The Black Tie
The team behind The Goodburger definitely hit the spot with their plant-based burgers that taste as good as the real deal. The Black Tie featured an Impossible patty that was succulent and juicy. Paired with a luxurious truffle aioli, the burger exuded an irresistible aroma and richness. The addition of fresh rocket added a refreshing contrast, while the perfectly crisp fries completed this truly happy meal.

Beef Cheek Pastrami
Smoked meats from Meatsmith? Yes, please. The pastrami burnt ends were tender and richly flavoured, delivering a smoky depth that lingered pleasantly. We weren't a big fan of the house slaw (unpleasantly sour) and the potato salad was run-of-the-mill, but the delectable beef cheek more than made up for it.

Sticky date pudding with ice cream
Activating second stomach for dessert... this sticky date pudding was worth making extra space in our tummies for. The pudding was moist and rich, with a perfect balance of sweetness that melded beautifully with the warm, caramel sauce. The accompanying vanilla ice cream provided a creamy, cool contrast, enhancing every bite with its smooth texture. It was a decadent and comforting dessert that was an absolute treat.
