#cafestory #100waysoftravel #singapore Visit this unique nostalgic Mama Diam , a truly hidden gem in Singapore, offering a unique and memorable dining experience. From the outside, this establishment looks like an old shophouses, giving little indication that it houses a vibrant restaurant and bar within.

Address - 38 Prinsep St, Singapore 188665 Ambiance/Facilities - Aircon Highlights - retro vintage settings Avg. Price per Person - $20-30/pax Rating - This newly ramped by brunch cafe near orchard singapore amidst shophouse, has its settings just like how old Sch Singapore flats are in the 60/70s. Very good photo opportunity on its ground level with the imitation "mama" store and once climbed up to second storey it's the actual cafe after opening the fake "life" door, interesting Food and drinks wise typical cafe style old Sch coffee, tea and some new twists. Food have toast, some snacks and noodles mains. Fairly executed in flavours and taste. However find the palace atad over hype and pricing steep as well. Probably worth a one time visit just for the photos' sake!

Have you all been to Lou Shang by Mama Diam? It is a HDB-themed cafe bar which invokes nostalgia once you enter the place! I heard from the boss’s that this place is opened to a tribute to the cherished memories of HDB living, a celebration of community, and a homage to the places we call "home." They also have a bar called Mama Diam downstairs. The mains are available till 5pm and afterwards the place will turn into a bar but there will still be small bites available. What I ordered: Oink Oink Murgh Makhani Roti Hey! Mala Curls Do take note they do not accept reservations, so be prepared to wait. 📍 38 Prinsep Street, Singapore 188665 #singapore #cafebar #food

Another bar that I had recently visited is Mama Diam. Styled like an HDB void deck with a traditional mama shop at the front, the place evokes strong nostalgia for those who remember the mama shops as comforting neighborhood staples, where sweet treats and small joys were always within reach. We ordered nearly the entire menu, and I can honestly say the food was delicious. One standout appetiser was the Crispy Cauliflower with soy glaze, which we ordered twice because it was so addictive. Despite being a healthy dish, we couldn't stop popping it into our mouths like chips or fries! Another dish that surprised me was the Curry Chicken Kueh Pie Tee. It's an innovative take on a classic, and I expected the curry chicken to soften the shell, but it didn't. The crispiness of the shell paired perfectly with the tender, spicy curry chicken. Putting the whole thing in my mouth resulted in an explosion of flavours that were out of this world! The cocktails at Mama Diam cleverly infuse local flavours like mango sago, kaya, and pineapple with different types of alcohol. They're so well crafted that the alcohol is barely noticeable, which can be dangerous. After two cocktails—the Mango Sago and Ong Lai—and a kaya shot, I was already tipsy! The Kaya shooters particularly impressed me. The base alcohol was tequila, which I usually dislike, but after some persuasion, I gave in and didn't regret it. The shooters tasted exactly like kaya, with no hint of tequila at all. The infusion was amazing! Overall, Mama Diam offers a delightful blend of nostalgia, innovative cuisine, and cleverly crafted cocktails. The bar's unique theme and exceptional food make it a must-visit spot. Whether you're there to reminisce about the past or simply enjoy a delicious meal and creative drinks, Mama Diam delivers an unforgettable experience.

Interesting concept with retro hdb setting. Food and drinks are not cheap but the truffle fries quantity is alot and filling! Otah tempura was surprisingly yummy and special. We had a strawberry sundae shake item for $18, which one not in the menu as menu only states alcoholic drink. Staff was attentive. #Loushang #Mamadiam #Prinsepstreet #localsg #Hdbcafe

#singapore most unique nostalgic place to dine in at located in Dhoby Ghaut area, exactly at prinsep street opposite GR.ID and SOTA. Mama Diam brought back childhood memories and it served local fussion food. This place is cosy and always crowded. You are recommended to reserve seat first. There are 3 type of seating arrangement: outdoor, bar and indoor. I got the bar seating but its good enough. I tried their signature whisky mixed milk tea drink. Taste so nice after a month didnt drink! My cousin and I had a great time here. #foodie #urbanexplorer
