Bistro first opened in 2019 in Chengdu, before expanding to five outlets across China; Singapore marks its first international outpost. You may wonder: what\u2019s with the name? (No, it has nothing to do with the menu prices \u2013 I checked.) \u201c5:59+\u201d is meant to capture the moment before 6pm as well as highlight the cafe\u2019s all-day dining concept.<\/p>\n<p>The cafe styles itself as an \u201curban garden\u201d, and I see the vision. You can see it\u2019s akin to a modern panda enclosure, except you\u2019re not trapped within. The sleek space brings together elements of lush greenery and woody accents. Despite its alfresco setting, I didn\u2019t feel overwhelmed by the humidity. It\u2019s a cosy spot where you can tuck into spicy dishes without being concerned about drowning in sweat.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a-spicy-sichuan-love-affair\"><\/span>A spicy Sichuan love affair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_329566\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329566\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-329566 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-food-spread-table-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Dishes we're having | 5:59+ Cafe &amp; Bistro in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-food-spread-table-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-food-spread-table-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-food-spread-table.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-329566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They say if you can\u2019t handle the heat, don\u2019t be gungho and try Sichuan cuisine.

The tender, juicy meat was a joy to tuck into, and you can choose to dip it in the accompanying sauces for extra flavour. Personally, I felt the steak was a winner all on its own. True to its Sichuan roots, the peppercorn hits first before the heat creeps in \u2013 a telltale sign they\u2019re not dumbing it down for local palates.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_329568\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329568\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-329568 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-d24-durian-pizza-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"D24 durian pizza | 5:59+ Cafe &amp; Bistro in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-d24-durian-pizza-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-d24-durian-pizza-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-d24-durian-pizza.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-329568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">D24 durian pizza.

Sink your teeth into the D24 durian pizza ($27). Those who\u2019ve tried Pezzo\u2019s version wouldn\u2019t bat an eyelid at this creation, but I get it if you need a moment to decide. I assure you, it\u2019s not cloying or \u2018stinky\u2019; the cafe nails the balance of durian and cheese, so each bite is a rich combo of sweet and savoury.

I\u2019m referring to the old Chengdu mala coffee ($9.80), a concoction that blends caffeine and spices. It comes in a bowl, so you can slurp it up or sip slowly. The beverage started off with coffee, before my entire mouth was engulfed by the mala taste. It\u2019s an assault to the senses that continues to linger long after. The only saving grace was the panda marshmallow, which I recommend eating on its own.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_329570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-329570\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-329570 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-tiramisu-panda-mousse-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Tiramisu and panda mousse | 5:59+ Cafe &amp; Bistro in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-tiramisu-panda-mousse-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-tiramisu-panda-mousse-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/559-cafe-bistro-singapore-ss-tiramisu-panda-mousse.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-329570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiramisu and panda mousse.
