Calling all east-siders who are deciding on what to eat for the day but have no idea what to pick from the seemingly endless options, we have put together a list of local F&B businesses – from Thai cuisine, Zi Char to Cafe-style brunch food for you to choose from. Support 0% F&B commission by ordering directly from these merchants.
