Pink is a colour that makes anything look instantly 10 times more attractive. Some examples: pink cookware, pink designer mini bags, and pink bedroom decor ideas. The list never ends, and we simply can’t get enough!

Already worked your way through our list of 8 pink cafes and restaurants and 5 pink places in Singapore? MOD Cafe is another one to try. Located in a pastel pink container, this lesser-known cafe cum hair salon in the East with Stylenanda vibes will have you snapping photos non-stop.

Read on to find out more about MOD Cafe in Singapore!

There’s no need to travel to Common Ground in Seoul or wait for container market Artbox to return to Singapore. MOD Cafe is a permanent container cafe along East Coast, and it's washed in a pretty pale pink shade that’s complemented by the calming green of potted plants and trees in the vicinity.

The exterior of the cafe is a prime photo spot, with a white curlicue bench and garden swing for you to perch on and werk those poses.

The interior, on the other hand, is mostly minimalist with plain white walls, save for a hand-painted floral mural as feature piece behind the bar counter.

As the cafe space is small and cosy with limited seats, it’s best you drop by during non-peak periods lest you get stuck outside waiting in a queue. But hey, that just justifies a barrage of OOTD spam - what else could one spend their time on while waiting at such a photogenic establishment?

The seats are a hodgepodge of low chairs, stools and a plush sofa. Try to snag a spot at the bar counter that faces the outside for the optimum view for people-watching and nature appreciation.

On the menu are brunch dishes like All-Day Breakfast Sets ($15.90) consisting of toast or waffles, your choice of eggs, mushroom, spinach, and salad - with an accompaniment of latte, flat white, long black or mocha.

Don’t forget the drinks! Other than the standard Long Black and Hot Tea ($4.90 each), there’s also Ice Lemon Honey Mint Tea ($6.90) and Icy Nyonya Coffee ($8.90) which comes with gula melaka and chendol ice-cream.

Craving for alcohol? Don’t miss their Drunken Dinosaur ($16.90), a concoction of ice chocolate with Milo powder, Bailey’s and gelato - think of it as a chocolatey version of Milo Dinosaur, with an added kick! Wine starts from $14 per glass.

Feel like you need a new 'do? Pop by MOD Salon, MOD Cafe’s adjacent hair salon that’s located within the same pink container. This, too, has a minimalistic interior with dried plants and flowers for decoration.
