A recent study has found that taking a picture of your food before eating it can actually make it taste better. Now, I have a bunch of theories for why that may be – one of them being, the way your food looks is the first impression you have of it and it also contributes to the entire eating experience. Basically, food that looks good makes you want to take a picture of it because you think it will taste good as well, so it all comes to a full circle!
Whatever the reason is, we are compelled to snap a picture of the plate before eating and awesome food pictures get all the likes! Here are 9 Instagram-worthy eateries in East Singapore to please your eyes (and definitely your stomach)!

The décor is minimalistic and has an industrial vibe to it with wooden furniture, cement floors and metallic accents in the design. The food follows a similar theme, with titles like “The Builder's Breakfast” and “The Butcher's Daughter”. The restaurant also has good lighting and the delicious food is excellently plated, so get your cameras ready.

Churros, dips, and milk. What more could one want, really? It's this simple, yet yummy formula that has made Chulop, a Muslim-owned eatery, one of the trendiest hidden cafes in the east of Singapore lately. If you've never had churros, they are basically a Mexican doughnut, except they are long in shape, super crispy on the outside, and served dipped in chocolate!

At Chulop, they manage to keep their patrons interested by often rotating their variety of premium sauces, milk, and flavours of churros. If you're sweet-tooth has a craving, satisfy it (and increase your social media standing) by treating yourself to some delicious churros at Chulop!

If you're mad for buffalo wings, then Wingstop is the ideal location for you. Founded in 1994 in the US, Wingstop has expanded its reach all throughout North America and globally to countries like Mexico, and Russia. This restaurant does chicken wings like you've never seen before, and luckily for us, they have several outlets across Singapore, including two on the east side!
Their menu consists of 11 varieties of American-style chicken wings (Louisiana rub, hickory-smoked, garlic parmesan, atomic, BBQ, etc.), and you cannot go wrong with whichever one you choose to go for! For those doubting the Instagram-worthiness of the food at Wingstop, let me just say this, no foodie will be able to scroll past your mouthwatering pictures of crispy, crunchy chicken bathed or dipped in delicious sauces without a. drooling, and b. double tapping on those saucy (chicken) thighs!
