Hideaway

Finding Hideaway is part of the point – it’s a quiet bistro set deep within the residential greenery of Bukit Timah, well removed from the main road. The building itself has the feel of a classic Old English pub, with a straightforward layout that includes a small, cozy interior and a more open outdoor seating area. Inside, the space is intimate and rustic, defined by its wooden furnishings, warm lighting, and a few nods to Celtic FC on the walls. For small groups, there's also a private room available for hire. The menu, run by the owner and chef, blends Western pub staples with Asian-inspired dishes like yakitori. People come here specifically for the fried wings, which are marinated until they’re incredibly moist and flavorful. Other reliable dishes include a well-seasoned chicken thigh served with sautéed onions and a consistently good bowl of mussels. The kitchen also puts out more distinct items like pork jowl, lychee bacon, and herbal quail eggs, giving the menu a unique character. On the drinks side, you’ll find premium beers like Guinness on tap, alongside a selection of bottled options and cocktails like the Lychee Martini. A happy hour special is usually running. The whole place is kid-friendly, and the ample on-site parking makes the logistics of getting here much simpler. And there’s a useful local quirk – you can also order food from the Chinese restaurant located right next door to eat at your table.
