Is it sweet or savoury? Brunch or dessert? With French toast, you can have it all, and these eight cafes in Singapore do them well.

Essentially a thick slice of bread soaked in custard, pan-fried, doused with powdered sugar and drizzled with a sweetener, French toast has long since taken an indulgent turn. Halcyon & Crane, for instance, encrusts theirs in cereal crisp. Tolido’s dish has stout-glazed bacon. Wild Honey turns to panettone with salted caramel mascarpone and hazelnut toffee.
