There’s something very tender about the way Caitanya (Caitanya Tan | Actor • Presenter • Voiceover Artist • Creator talks about food.

Not just as something we eat, but as something we remember.

The extra piece of meat someone quietly placed on your plate. The familiar dishes from childhood. The way love sometimes showed up without many words, just through the simple act of making sure you were fed.

That feeling is at the heart of Shop Riceboy & Friends.

For Cait, Pointy Rice is more than playful illustrations or nostalgic merch. It is a way of holding on to the little moments that shaped her - the dinner tables, the childhood memories, the kampong spirit, and the joy of recognising something so deeply familiar.

It has not always been easy. Like many creatives, Cait has had to sit with doubt, push through uncertainty, and find the courage to keep building something that felt true to her, even when the path was not always clear.

But perhaps that is what makes her work feel so full of heart.

It is made for the kid in every millennial who still wants to play, laugh, remember, and feel a little less grown-up for a moment.

Come point, pick and plate up your favourites from Shop Riceboy & Friends , now available at our Kreta Ayer outlet. 🍚

You need a venue to bring your people together. We’ve got The Social Space for you. ✨

Choose between our Kreta Ayer outlet, just a short walk from Maxwell MRT, or our cosy Potong Pasir space, with indoor and outdoor dining options.

Each corner has held its share of long-overdue catch-ups, big ideas, birthday wishes, creative shoots, and moments you’ll want to hold on to.

Whether you’re bringing together friends and family, getting the work team off-site, or launching your next brand pop-up, we cannot wait to help you make the space feel entirely yours. 🎉

Drop us a DM for pricing and availability. Always happy to chat through your plans. 💬

Some runs are about pace.
This one is about people. 🩵

We’re back at Potong Pasir this October, but we’re switching things up a little this time! Instead of our usual 5km, we’re teaming up with because-sport to support for a morning of group fitness followed by a shorter run along the Kallang River and park connector.

Because - Sport to Support is a volunteer-run community that brings people together through group fitness activities, while using movement as a way to give back and create positive impact.

They’ll be kicking us off with a warm-up and 20-minute HIIT workout, before we head out together for a 3km social run/walk. As always, there’s no timing, no pace groups and no competition - take breaks when you need to and simply enjoy moving together.

And of course, we’ll end the morning back at The Social Space with cold brew coffee and some time to hang out with the community. ☕️

As always, some of the cancer survivors from Fashion For Cancer will be joining us too, with 100% of registration fees donated to Fashion For Cancer in support of cancer research and patient welfare.

📅 Saturday, 3 October 2026
📍 The Social Space @ Potong Pasir
⏰ Meet at 7am, warm-up starts at 7.30am
💪 20-min HIIT + 3km social run/walk

Whether you’re joining us for the workout, the run, the cause, or simply a fun morning of movement with good people, come as you are and go at your own pace. 🩵

With the haze hanging around, we’ll keep a cosy corner waiting for you - somewhere to settle in with a freshly brewed coffee, turn a few pages, and enjoy a slower afternoon indoors.

Come by for a little breather. ☕️📖

Maybe one day we’ll actually get to experience our own cafe like a customer. 😂

But for now, we’re busy figuring out how to serve you an even better cup of matcha, make your visit feel a little more comfortable, and welcome you in the best way we know how. ☕️

Whether you’re popping by for coffee, a catch-up, or some quiet time, tell us how we’re doing. 📝

We’re always taking notes for the day we finally get to sit down, stay awhile, and see The Social Space through your eyes.

🏃‍♀️ Early birds, this one’s for you!

Our Potong Pasir outlet will be opening bright and early at 8AM tomorrow (Sat, 5 Sept) as we kick off the morning with our Run For Good community.

Whether you’re joining us for the run, coming by to cheer everyone on, or simply looking for an earlier-than-usual breakfast and coffee, we’d love to see you. ☕️💛

We’ll also be closing earlier than usual at 4PM, with last orders at 3.30PM, so be sure to catch us a little earlier at both ends of the day!

Sometimes, slowing down can be its own little act of care. 🤎

We’re very happy to welcome A Piece of Mine Puzzles to our shelves at Kreta Ayer - a homegrown puzzle brand built around a simple but meaningful idea: that taking a little time away from the noise, our screens and the constant need to keep moving can give us space to reconnect with ourselves.

Every A Piece of Mine puzzle is illustrated by an artist, with many of its collections using art not just to create something beautiful, but to tell stories that deserve a little more attention.

Their Pocket Puzzles turn local illustrations into tiny 150-piece puzzles you can bring almost anywhere, whether it is for a quiet moment over coffee, while travelling, or as a thoughtful little gift.

Their mental health collection goes a little deeper, exploring themes such as the feeling of never being “good enough” and the rules we sometimes place on how our lives are supposed to look. Each puzzle comes with reflection prompts, turning the simple act of piecing something together into an invitation to pause and look inward.

And one collection we especially love, *To the World, With Joy*, celebrates neurodiversity by inviting neurodivergent artists to illustrate the things that bring them joy, with each artist receiving royalties from their work. 🌻

Perhaps that is what we love most about A Piece of Mine. These are puzzles you can enjoy simply because they are beautiful and fun, but if you look a little closer, there are stories, perspectives and people behind every piece.

And in a city that so often celebrates how much we can fit into a day, there is something rather lovely about choosing, every now and then, to sit down and piece something together simply because it makes us feel good.

Come discover A Piece of Mine now on our retail shelves at Kreta Ayer or via our online store at www.thesocialspace.co. 🧩

How have you been, really? 

If the days have felt a little too full lately, maybe this is your reminder that you do not have to keep rushing through them. There is a place and time for a proper meal, a conversation that goes nowhere and everywhere, a quiet coffee, or simply sitting with your thoughts for a while. ☕️

Do it all at The Social Space. Settle in over wholesome food, sweet and savoury treats and coffee made for slow sips. Catch up with yourself or your buds, and stay a little longer than you planned to. 🍽️

And if you’re looking for something thoughtful to bring home, our shelves are filled with consciously chosen goods from social enterprises and purpose-led brands. 🌿

Find us at Kreta Ayer or Potong Pasir whenever you need a softer moment in your day.

Oh, and loved ones include your furry friends. We’re pet-friendly; catch up with them too! 🐾

And we call it The Social Space. Yes, it’s a cafe, but there’s so much more to it. ☕️✨

There’s something beautiful about the way a cafe can become a place to settle into, with familiar faces, gentle conversations and little moments that feel like home. 🏡

As a social enterprise, every visit supports more conscious living and creates opportunities for people who face barriers to employment. 🤝🌱

Bring your loved ones, including your furry pals, take a seat and appreciate the space around you. 🐾🪑

Some runs are about pace.
This one is about people. 💚

After taking Run For Good into the city for our August edition, we’re heading back to Potong Pasir this September - back to where it all started, with an easy morning run along the Kallang River and park connector.

This month, we’re so happy to be running with Talking Toes, a homegrown purpose-driven brand that believes even something as simple as a pair of socks can be a reminder to move through life with a little more positivity and purpose.

They’ll be leading us on our relaxed 5km social run/walk, with no pace groups, no timing and no pressure. Run the full route, slow down when you need to, walk part of it, or simply enjoy moving alongside the community.

And this month, we’re adding a little more fun to the morning! 🎉 Once we’re back from the run, Talking Toes will be leading a few games, with the chance to win exclusive socks from their Performance and Athletic ranges - perfect for adding a little extra pizazz to your next run. 🧦✨

As always, some of the cancer survivors from Fashion For Cancer will be joining us too, and your registration will support their fundraising campaign for cancer research and cancer patient welfare.

We’d love to have you with us. 💚

Our smoothie bowls have a little bit of Bali in them. 🌴

They were inspired by the years our founders spent living there, where tropical fruits and smoothie bowls were a regular part of life. When we brought that inspiration back to Singapore, it made sense to look closer to home too.

Our team regularly heads to the local wet market for fresh tropical and seasonal fruits, some of which are blended straight into our smoothie bowls, while others end up piled generously on top. 🥭🍌🍍

Each bowl is finished with our house-made granola, toasted coconut flakes, seasonal fruits and a drizzle of honey, with six different blends depending on whether you’re craving something fruity, nutty, berry-packed or green.

Swipe through to meet the full smoothie bowl family, then come find your favourite at Kreta Ayer or Potong Pasir - especially on one of those very Singaporean hot afternoons. ☀️🥄
