Pigsfly Kitchen Review: A superb variety of food from FIVE menus @ this quasi-hawker in the heart of Katong
Pigsfly Kitchen Review: Contents
Nestled between Lower East Side Taqueria & the Japanese restaurant on the corner whose name I forget. Here is the varied frontage showing off the dining options within…PigsFly Kitchen
Some History to my relationship with Pigsfly Kitchen and Lower Eastside
I have met a few people at Pigsfly before, but I only ever ‘used’ the bar. In fact, it was the place I said goodbye to a very good mate of mine on his last night in Singapore.
I have walked past Pigsfly Kitchen on countless occasions on the way to other bars and restaurants but never dined. Today the kids and I had been for my recurring physiotherapy across the road and needed to dine somewhere. Time to change the drinking here only history I thought, so come on kids today we dine for lunch at Pigsfly Kitchen & Bar.
This place used to be called Two Pigsfly and is now renamed to PigsFly Kitchen & Bar. Just in case you were searching and could not find it anymore.
PigsFly Kitchen is part of a group called Hidden Door Concepts with additional brands such as Nickeldime DraftHouse Novena, Angie’s Oyster Bar, Lower East Side Taqueria, Empire Sky Lounge (temporarily closed), and Sear Steakhouse (temporarily closed).
If you read on to the end of the blog I’ll give you additional details on the other brands of Hidden Door Concepts. Well. those that are currently open. Which one to choose from though…?
PigsFly Kitchen & Bar Menu
Tiffin - a stunning array of Indian fare...
Superb value with mains going from a mere \$12-15, and starters from \$10-16. The most expensive dish is $30 and that is a sharing platter that would easily feed 3-4 pax.
Tiffin – incredible Northern Indian Gastronomy in Katong. We didn’t dine from this menu today but have a look at it. Wow. I think we will be eating this next time for sure.
Tiffin Menu
Blue Elephant - simply stated as Thai Food
We didn’t eat this menu today, so this is for future consideration. Look at the pricing. It’s like being in Thailand. $22 for whole sea bass is exceptional. That’s cheaper than hawkers. I think I will definitely be coming back here with wifey for that dish.
A rather beautiful looking Pad Thai. I’d be very happy if that got served to me here, and in Thailand actually. They do have some stiff competition though from the equally amazingly priced, and stunningly delicious Thai offerings at POD in Siglap.

La Pizza - good pizza at super prices
Strawberry went hard on the pizza option today as you’ll see from the Vlog review and very nice it was too. Not the very best we have ever eaten but really good. You know, just nice!!! Have a look at that lunch special. A 9″ pizza for only $10. That’s an amazing price.
But even when not on the specials the pizzas are $16 for a 9″ and $20 for a 12″. Very affordable indeed. Very affordable and delicious pizzas. The next time for me is Phily Cheesesteak for sure.
La Pizza Menu
Burger Office - more variety than you can shake a stick at
This is what Jude Jude and I got stuck into. We went for the American Classic. One thing to slap Pigsfly for though. There was no way that that was smoked cheddar. It was a processed cheese slice from Dairy Lee or something. A little disappointed there, but overall the burger was cooked really well and seasoned nicely. A rather delicious burger indeed.
At a max of $18 for a burger, this is up there with super-affordable. Especially when McClown is throwing out McShitty burgers for upwards of $10. It’s a no-brainer. Have a look at that beauty. Seriously yummy burgers here.
What do Pigsfly have to say about themselves?
“The ultimate foodie is the worst decision-maker. Pigsfly has a way of limiting the decision-making time to what we believe are the best of the hardest choices to make. Burgers, Pizzas, Thai & Indian. How can one food lover expect to be limited to only one at a time? The struggle is real, fellow foodie. We’ve got your back.
Pigsfly Kitchen + Bar is a casual dining restaurant where people come together for the love of food and beer. You will find four independent kitchens serving up a variety of cuisines and a bar full of 50+ beers from around the globe.”
Islifearecipe comment; The ultimate foodie is the worst decision-maker. I love that statement. It is so very true. Foodies love variety. We’ll bulk order to sample the variety and then usually pack to take it all home and eat again later. Variety is absolutely what you get here at Pigsfly.
How much is PigsFly?
It is great food on East Coast Road. Well priced, with an incredible variety. Pop in for a cheap beer with 141 happy hours and grab a snack or sit and dine with super-affordable food from the 4 menu options.
PigsFly Kitchen & Bar Menu
They have a variety of menus by the brands & currently are running a few lunchtime specials.
Liking that a lot. So just read on and we will share the individual menus that you can peruse and dine on. Four food menus and one drinks menu in. one dining area here, with both interior and al fresco dining options.
PigsFly Bar, Katong, Drinks Menu - including happy hours and specials
Very reasonable. Before 2030 is their ‘happy hour’ and a pint of Staropraman will set you back $9.50 compared to a usual price of $12. Now, there’s an incentive to get down for early arvo beers and a snack attack.

PigsFly Katong Address?
They are in the uber-cool foodie neighbourhood of Katong. Down towards the bottom end of East Coast Road with neighbours like Beer Basket, Yun Ga Korean BBQ, Lime House and now the very newly opened Sushi Sakae. A little parade of bars and restaurants directly opposite Katong V Shopping Centre. Easy for taxi drop off at Katong V, and bus stop directly opposite.
PigsFly Kitchen is part of a group called Hidden Door Concepts. They have a few more brands in the mix aside from those adjoining PigsFly. Let's have a look...
Lower East Side Taqueria
Lower East Side Taqueria was the very first Mexican-inspired concept along East Coast Road. Since then we have had a few additions from hawkers LTN Siglap (sadly closed now) and the ever-popular Comida Mexicana.
Its offering is indoor and al fresco, serving up spicy Mexican fusion food. and craft beer. You may remember us giving Lower East Side Taqueria a call out in our ‘pub crawl’ along the East Coast Road. Best Bars on the East Coast Road.

Nickeldime Drafthouse Novena
Nickeldime Novena is reported to be the first beer house in Singapore to offer 19 international craft beers on tap. They’ll be competing now with the likes of TapOutSG in Katong or Tap @ Chulia in the CBD I would assume.
They do their sourcing from boutique breweries across the USA, UK, Japan, Denmark, Germany & Belgium, and they bring in seasonal & limited edition brews a keg or two at a time. So, by rights, you should be getting something different & exciting on tap every time you visit.
Nickeldime Drafthouse Novena opening hours
