About Whistle & Flute

Behind an industrial steel sliding door on Greenhill Road sits an energetic brunch haven wrapped in lush greenery. Patrons pack the sheltered space for punchy, heat-forward plates—most notably the chili crab scrambled eggs layered on crunchy toast and crunchy fried chicken served over fluffy hotcakes with sweet and spicy sauce. Baristas turn out velvet-textured flat whites alongside crisp cold-pressed juices while modern beats keep the dining room humming. Tables inside fill fast, though street parking on Salisbury Street makes the arrival straightforward.

  • Dialed-In Espresso: Consistently textured flat whites and specialty espresso served at a brisk clip.
  • Sweet & Savoury Collision: Crunchy fried chicken over fluffy hotcakes drizzled in a sweet and spicy sauce.
  • Bold Morning Plates: Chili crab scrambled eggs with fresh herbs and toasted bread.
  • Speakeasy Feel & Easy Parking: An industrial sliding door opens to a plant-filled dining space with street parking on Salisbury Street.

  • Inventive Sweet-Heat Flavor Mashups

    Diners step outside traditional breakfast staples with bold sweet-heat creations like crispy fried chicken paired with waffles or fluffy hotcakes and spiced sauce.

    This is where I found the ultimate combination: gooey, fluffy, crispy, moist, juicy, sweet, savoury, and spicy all coming together perfectly on one plate.

  • Signature Chili Crab Scramble

    The kitchen delivers distinctive signature brunch plates, led by vibrant chili crab scrambled eggs layered with fresh herbs and crunchy toast.

    The flavors were fresh and vibrant, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and the crunchy bread and fresh herbs were the perfect complements.

  • Effortless Group Hospitality & Care

    Welcoming, attentive table service and thorough dietary accommodations give hosts total confidence when gathering friends or celebrating special occasions.

    We were so well looked after from start to finish, and our bellies were so incredibly full.! The food was 10/10! I am unable to eat gluten and they had no problem catering to this and the other dietaries within the group

  • Chilli Crab Scrambled Eggs

    But the real star of the show was the chilli crab scrambled eggs. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and the crunchy bread and fresh herbs were the perfect complements.

  • Beetroot & Corn Fritters

    I had the beetroot & corn fritters with a side of bacon (pic) which was sensational. Corn fritters can be "gluey" but not these light puffy pillows of deep fried delight!

  • French Toast

    It was a very balanced dish, neither too sweet nor heavy. Lemon curd was not that tangy and easily to accept if you don’t like sour things. I personally preferred it to be more sour. Cream has a hit of saltiness, surprisingly tasty! Highly recommend~

    The banana bread was delicious and was accompanied by butter and MAPLE SYRUP, my new favourite combination!!
