Skosh is a new cafe in Bencoolen, located within the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, just a short walk from Bencoolen MRT Station. The cafe offers a diverse menu with a Japanese twist, making it a unique spot for both locals and visitors. The minimalist, Japandi-inspired decor, featuring light-colored wooden furniture, creates a cozy atmosphere. Although the cafe has a 50-person seating capacity, it fills up quickly during lunch hours, so arriving early is recommended to secure a seat.
One of the standout dishes at Skosh is their Chicken Katsu Waffle, a creative take on the classic fried chicken and waffles. This dish features a crispy chicken katsu cutlet, coated in panko breadcrumbs, served atop a sweet waffle and topped with a fried sunny-side-up egg, all drizzled with yuzu maple syrup. Another popular option is the Okonomi-Rosti, which combines elements of Swiss rosti and Japanese okonomiyaki, offering a delightful fusion of flavors. For a lighter bite, the handmade onigiri wraps, such as the Chicken Katsu Onigiri and Breakfast Onigiri, are perfect choices.
Skosh also offers a variety of starters that complement the mains. The Mentaiko Tater Tots, paired with tangy and creamy mentaiko sauce, are a crowd favorite. The Truffle Shoyu Chicken Karaage is another highlight, with its umami-rich truffle and shoyu marinade, resulting in a crisp and tender bite. The Breakfast Onigiri, made with sweet tamago, luncheon meat, hashbrown, and fluffy short-grain rice wrapped in nori, is a simple yet satisfying snack. Skosh’s innovative menu and inviting ambiance make it a must-visit for fans of Japanese-inspired cuisine.
