Looking for a place to dine with your furry friend in Singapore? Surrey Hills Grocer in VivoCity is a good option!
This marks their largest outlet to date, offering a new theme and outlet-exclusive menu items for kids and pets.
Lush Greenery & Moving Animals
This outlet is inspired by the Australian rainforests; covered top to bottom in dense greenery and fake trees.
Despite the explosive amount of green, the space still felt cosy and inviting.
There are also moving animatronic animals like giraffes and kangaroos to add to the theme!
The front counters showcase their freshly made pizzas, pastries and cakes.
It’s complemented by wooden and rattan seating, including a small private area at the back.
The entire space is pet-friendly and even provides seating mats for your pets!
Since ‘grocer’ is in the name, there is a small retail corner with fresh produce and merchandise from Australian brands including shampoo and pet food.
Surrey Hills Grocer VivoCity Menu
All the items are exclusive to VivoCity, with over 25 options. Check out the full menu here.
A fair warning that their portions are big and best suited for sharing!
The selection includes starters like Triple Truffle Fries ($16) and Salmon & Fennel Salad ($28) and even all-day brunch items including Kimchi Jiggae Shakshuka ($26) and The Vivo Breakfast ($30).
They offer freshly made pasta and pizzas, with Singaporean flavours like the Hokkien Mee malfadine ($26) and Roast Garlic Miso Butter ($22).
Pizza flavours include Tartufo ($20) with truffle and serrano ham and Red Wine Wagyu Beef Cheek ($16) with a 48-hour braised brisket.
Drink options include coffee from St. ALi, artisanal teas, smoothies and freshly pressed juices.
Kids menu options are available, like the Under The Sea ($22) with salmon or the Funny Raffy ($16) with eggs and pancakes.
They even offer a dedicated pet menu! The Furry Hills’s Nutritious Pet Meals menu offers 15 pet meals, ranging from Chicken ($12) with chicken liver and cod liver oil to Kangaroo ($18) with kangaroo meat, calcium carbonate and salmon oil.
Corn & Crab Chowder
The Corn & Crab Chowder ($14) was served with two big slices of focaccia. We liked how hearty it was, filled with pieces of corn, vegetables and meat!
Despite being cream-based, the soup was light and comforting.
Flat Bread Hammy Benny
The Flat Bread Hammy Benny ($26) was generously topped with Kurobuta ham, spinach and mushrooms.
This was indulgent but not overbearing, with the runny yolk tying all the elements together.
The swap for a flatbread made the overall dish lighter than the usual rendition of an egg’s benedict!
Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza
We liked the spicy and sweet combination of the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza ($12). The dollops of ricotta balanced the salty pepperoni, held atop a crisp and slightly fluffy crust.
Mee Siam Capellini
The Mee Siam Capellini ($22) impressed us with the accuracy of the mee siam flavour! It was spicy, sweet and tangy, complemented by deep-fried squid pieces and taupok.
We think it could be stronger for Singaporean tastebuds, but it’s prominent enough to remind us of the actual dish!
Mains
Our favourite dish was the Red Curry Barramundi ($38), with a red rice curry gravy and Thai papaya salad.
The gravy was spicy but very flavourful, making it addictive! The fish itself was well-cooked, with a pleasant firmness and sweetness.
The Chicken Schnitzel ($32) featured a sizeable fried chicken cutlet. It was crisp outside but juicy and tender inside, without any oiliness.
However, the star was their homemade egg tartar sauce! It was light but refreshing with a prominent dill flavour that complimented the chicken.
Sticky Date Pudding
If you need to order one item, get the Sticky Date Pudding ($16). This was served with a sea salt butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream.
Everything tasted as good as it sounds, with a rich caramelly, butter flavour. We liked that the pudding/cake was spongy and not too dense, absorbing the butterscotch sauce!
A big plus is that it wasn’t too sweet despite all the sugary elements.
Coffee
We tried their Iced Soy Prana Chai Latte ($10) and signature Time for Lime ($9.50) coffee.
We found both drinks slightly underwhelming, but enjoyed the tang of the lime cream from the Time for Lime!
Maybe their basic coffee or other signature drinks (like the Biscoff Latte or Banoffee latte) would stand out more.
