Neptune is the latest brainchild, taking over the defunct Firebake at 237 East Coast Road.
Old-school confectionery Chin Mee Chin just further down the road is also scheduled to open later this month.
Named after the farthest-known planet in the Solar system – Neptune (sadly Pluto is no longer a planet), all their cafes have a strong “universe’ theme, from Atlas, Lunar, Columbus to Apollo.
Perhaps people staying in the East may also be reminded of Neptune Court and Neptune Dim Sum at Marine Parade Food Centre.
The 70-seater space is divided into both indoors and alfresco dining, with an interior decked in white and Neptune green in colours.
