Warm Up Cafe @ Grantral Mall Macpherson

Chanced upon warm up cafe by accident chasing after another Thai restaurant that we didn't know had closed down. We ordered the soft omelette with crab which was divine and had a good load of crab meat inside, boat noodles 1 large & 1 small, stir fried kailan with crispy pork and the moo ping. All good except the moo ping which tasted a little 'old' the sort of flavour you get from pre-grilling it and letting it sit out for too long before re-heating it. Other than that everything was good and fresh. My wife appreciated the gestures from the thai service staff in speaking to her in her native Isan dialect upon realising she was from a neighbouring province.

Regrettably I only took a picture of the first item and when more friends arrived, I completely lost track but have to say was THOROUGHLY impressed with how yummy and authentic the food was. Very grateful to my foodie friend who recommended this place to me. Run by Thai peeps, the service is friendly and prompt and they even have a live band! Cute seats that offer you a low, relaxed and cozy feel but may be challenging for the taller folks as it can feel a bit cramped. The outside seating is really nice as well, just that there are no bug catchers installed so you have to keep waving about, especially if you have food. Anyway, we ordered the raw prawn salad which was very fresh and good. Prawn woon sen - the noodles were very tasty and peppery. Fried chicken wings - tasty seasoning that goes well with the sweet chilli sauce. They also provide a green mint chilli sauce with almost all the other dishes and it pairs really well. Crab omelette rice - was a dreamy oozy comforting bed of carbs. Grilled chicken - my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I should have ordered half but it was super juicy and flavourful.

Took some Thai friends to this nice cafe for lunch . Pleasantly surprised with the food . Order many dishes and I must said we enjoyed it very very much ! Felt the Thai hospitality too! One of the kid celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday and they were so sweet to surprise him with the Thai mango sticky rice . It was very very good . Pleasantly surprised with Live band in the cafe . Had a great time !

This place serves tasty food and I'm a fan of their dishes, especially the hor fun. Amazing customer service, BUT the portions have significantly shrunk and I dont think I'll return. Attached pictures of hor fun which used to be around the normal portion size for $10.90. This was after we told staff the amount was too little (could be finished in 3-4 mouthfuls). Spicy mama was lesser than one packet of instant noodles. Two mouthfuls gone (see spoon for size) at $12.90. I truly appreciate the amazing and warm hearted staff here who were quick to rectify customer service and gave a complimentary dessert. Love the people, but the price and portion truly don't match anymore.

I recently discovered Warm Up Cafe, and I was absolutely blown away by this novel concept. From the moment I stepped inside, the ambiance was spot on—an inviting, forest-inspired space with lush greenery, complemented by a spacious stage featuring a live guitarist, drummer, and singer, all setting just the right mood for the evening. Their menu, presented in a thick, luxurious leather-look cover, felt just as thoughtfully curated as the overall dining experience. Here’s what we savored that evening: 1. Tom Saap Pork Soup – A rich, aromatic broth brimming with pork liver, kidney, sliced pork, and mushrooms, elevated by the brightness of lemongrass. A bold and hearty dish, even if it wasn’t entirely to my personal preference. 2. Premium Pork Jowl – Melt-in-your-mouth tender, beautifully grilled, and paired with a fragrant chili sauce and crispy garlic. Well-balanced overall, though I personally would have enjoyed a bit more spice. 3. Thai Grilled Chicken – Tender and juicy when served, though it became slightly firm as it cooled. It came with a dark sauce that leaned a little too sweet for my liking. 4. Kai Lan with Fried Crispy Pork – A standout dish. The pork was perfectly crispy without being overly salty, while the kai lan retained a satisfying crunch and freshness. 5. Creamy Crab Omelette Rice – Silky, creamy, and indulgent, with a beautifully runny, gooey egg wrapped around fragrant crab—absolutely luxurious and comforting. 6. Fried Chicken Tendon – Wonderfully crisp on the outside with a light sesame seed topping. While flavorful and aromatic, the interior was a bit too hard for my preference—but it was still well-received by others at the table. 7. Thai Milk Tea & Thai Green Milk Tea – Both were excellent—fragrant, well-balanced, and not overly sweet, especially compared to some versions we’ve tried in Thailand. This is a cafe that truly warms the heart—not just through its engaging live music, but also through its thoughtfully crafted dishes and inviting atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and approachable, and even on a busy evening, they delivered attentive and warm service. I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

Their basil rice with eggs and good . Taste a little salty and the basil is not that pungent. The minced meat blend well with the white rice. Portion is quite large. The red ruby dessert has a thick coconut cream and sweet enough for another bowl. But some of the red ruby is a little under cook. A bit hard on the flour comes with added jackfruit to give a little fair on the coconut milk flavour. Overallike the deco and cosy feel while eating there.

Always coming back for the oysters which has been quite a consistent selection. I would say go for the coconut chicken soup because I feel like its not a common thai food flavour in sg, but the grill is also really nice. We had fried fish once and its really nice. All the vegetables have a lot of wokhey, but i wont recommend this fried noodle dish as i find it way too salty. The thai green tea portion is very generous and flavour is on point. Live music can be quite loud indoors so I would say for the best experience you can seat outside.

The food was delicious!!! The balance between the lean meat and fat for pork jowl was great ratio. The coconut drink was 🤤🤤. And their lemongrass beverage was fragrant with lemongrass taste and not diluted at all. And best, they even have love music at certain timing!! A great families hang out location to go!! And the staff were very very friendly!!! Will come back for more!!
