Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: On Pause presents itself as a pet-friendly cafe in a neighbourhood setting, offering a concise menu of Western-fusion dishes.

We note consistent praise for their pasta dishes, particularly the Laksa Pasta and Tom Yum Linguine, which are highlighted for their distinct flavours.

The steak also receives positive mentions for being juicy and well-prepared, often served with good fries and chimichurri.

The cafe is particularly well-regarded for its accommodating staff and its pet-friendly policy, even offering limited pet food options and customisation for dietary needs.

While the menu isn't extensive, the quality of the food seems to compensate.

A minor point of concern is the exhaust in the non-air-conditioned area, which can lead to a hazy atmosphere, though this is reported to clear quickly.

We think this spot is best for pet owners or groups looking for a relaxed, friendly dining experience with reliable food, especially if you're in the Hougang area.

Best for groups, as they can accommodate larger parties and even offer private spaces.
