Eden | Chinese Garden | Halal-Certified

We have heard quite a bit about the café located in Chinese Garden, but little did we know that Eden Café sits just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Cloud Pagoda, directly in front of Pagoda Plaza.

Getting there by MRT is simple and convenient. Just alight at Chinese Garden station, cross the Chinese Garden Bridge, and turn right. For those who are driving, the walk is slightly longer as the recommended parking spot is the MSCP at Blk 354 Jurong East Ave 1.

We arrived at Eden Café during sunset, and it turned out to be the perfect time to visit. A gentle breeze, warm sunlight, and the surrounding greenery created a very relaxing garden atmosphere. The exterior blends naturally with the park setting, while the interior of the café is kept modern, clean, and simple.

As the sky gradually darkened, the ambience transformed into something equally charming. With the Cloud Pagoda lit up in the background, the café offered a completely different yet equally pleasant evening vibe.

To cool ourselves down, we started with two refreshing drinks, the Lychee Pink Splash and Honey Grapefruit. The Lychee Pink Splash was a delightful mix of lychee fruit, strawberry, and calamansi, giving it a sweet yet tangy profile. The Honey Grapefruit was light, citrusy, and equally refreshing.

From the All Day Brunch menu, we tried the Singapore Har Cheong Gai Waffles. The crispy shrimp paste fried chicken paired surprisingly well with waffles, garnished with fresh parsley. A drizzle of maple syrup tied the flavours together, making this a bold yet enjoyable and shareable dish.

It was hard to ignore the local delights section of the menu, especially after spotting curry chicken and nasi lemak. We eventually decided on the Eden Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken. The fragrant coconut rice was served warm, accompanied by tender curry chicken in a separate bowl, along with sliced cucumber, hard-boiled egg, sambal chilli, peanuts, and fried anchovies. It was comforting, satisfying, and flavourful.

Sticking to the brunch selections, we also ordered the Creamy Avocado Buttermilk Fried Cod Fish Pasta. The fried cod fish sat atop pasta coated in a creamy avocado sauce, complemented by cherry tomatoes, yellow onions, salsa, and pea sprouts. The result was a rich and well-balanced pasta dish.

Before leaving the café, we made sure to try their unique Coconut Ice Cream. Served in an actual coconut shell imprinted with “Eden,” the coconut ice cream was drizzled with gula melaka and sprinkled with crushed peanuts. On the side, fresh coconut juice from the fruit was served in a small glass, making the experience even more memorable.

Coconut Ice Cream - $12.90

Overall, beyond its pleasant garden setting and scenic view of the Cloud Pagoda, the food at Eden Café was above average. It’s definitely a place I wouldn’t mind bringing friends to. The café is also halal-certified, making it a welcoming spot for many diners.
