Singapore’s breakfast scene just got a serious upgrade with SUNRISE at AIR CCCC x Le Matin, a weekend-only morning affair at the lush Dempsey Hill. A collaboration between AIR CCCC and Le Matin Patisserie, this breakfast concept delivers artisanal pastries, gourmet savouries, and expertly curated coffee and tea selections—all set in a pet-friendly, open-air environment that feels almost too serene to be in Singapore.

Available from Friday to Sunday from 8 AM until sold out, SUNRISE invites early risers to start their day with indulgent baked goods and comforting savoury bites while basking in the gentle morning sun. The setting is refreshingly laid-back, encouraging diners to slow down and savour each bite while surrounded by nature.

We were invited for a morning tasting and headed down to SUNRISE at 8am on a Sunday morning. We were pleasantly surprised to see a small queue forming and a group of people already frolicking in the gentle morning sun, some with pets and toddlers.

Driven by a keen palate and a passion for pastry, Chef Matin honed his skills under world-renowned chefs like Adriano Zumbo, Christopher Thé, Peter Gilmore, Andre Chiang, and René Redzepi. After two years as Pastry Sous Chef at Noma, he returned home to share his love for fine dining and patisserie through Le Matin Patisserie.

Chef Matin’s dedication to quality and sustainability is evident in every aspect of the menu, from the thoughtful sourcing of ingredients to the meticulous craftsmanship behind each item. It is worth waking up early and make a trip down to SUNRISE, just to savour Chef Matin’s creations.

A decadent take on the classic French pastry, this Kouign Amann is layered with Sarawak-sourced Gula Apong sugar, delivering rich caramelised notes with hints of vanilla and molasses.

The crisp, flaky exterior gives way to a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth interior and it is apparent why this is a crowd favourite.

Kenari Nut Twice-Baked Croissant ($7)

This twice-baked masterpiece features a sourdough croissant base filled with Indonesian Kenari nut cream and drizzled with citrus tepache syrup.

The nutty aroma and delicate balance of sweetness make it a must-try for pastry lovers.

Perfect for those who prefer savoury indulgence, this sourdough brioche toastie is stuffed with fermented mushroom duxelle, caramelised onions, mozzarella, and gruyere.

The highlight is the house-made Mushroom XO butter, which adds an umami depth that elevates the entire sandwich. All the mushrooms used in this savoury treat are locally sourced and farmed to support Singapore’s urban farms and for sustainability.

Pain Au Chocolat ($6)

Le Matin’s take on this classic French pastry features a sourdough croissant made from cocoa husk and cascara, generously filled with premium Indonesian chocolate batons.

A balance of rich chocolate and tangy sourdough flavours makes this a must-have for any chocolate lover.

Labneh Cheesecake ($8 per slice / $60 whole 7” cake)

This unique cheesecake swaps traditional cream cheese for labneh (hung yogurt) from Annie’s All Natural, giving it a slightly tangy, ultra-creamy texture.

Infused with Indonesian vanilla and topped with a whey reduction glaze, this dessert is a sophisticated, lighter alternative to the classic New York cheesecake. The flavours are so familiar yet so different at the same time.

Garden Herbs and Charcoal Chicken Sausage Roll ($11)

For those craving a hearty bite, this charcoal-grilled chicken sausage wrapped in flaky puff pastry hits the spot. The addition of mango chimichurri and fresh garden herbs provides a bright, slightly smoky contrast that keeps things interesting.

The sausage is made from the unused chicken meat served at AIR CCC restaurant to minimise food waste and as a nod to sustainability.
