Mains Ordered:
- Chicken Schnitzel with Spatzle ($28)
The portion was huge, and the schnitzel came with cranberry jam & lemon which was really good pairing! We replaced the side with Spatzle, and it initially tasted "bland" but it grew on us after a few mouths & was really good!

- Pork Knucle with Rosti ($19)
This was a little on the smaller side, but it was really good. The rosti felt a little oily after awhile, but it wasn't gelak (for sharing 2 pax). This dish came w mustard, good pairing w the pork knuckle!

Overall Damage with burpple beyond: $32 (inclusive of GST & $2 for 2 refillable water)

😆 Overall: We enjoyed our meal & the service was great & felt welcoming :) The portion was just right for 2 pax, without making us feel too full or still starving after the meal. The 1-for-1 main w burpple beyond is worth it, will be back! 😊

Rating: 3/10⭐️

Had high expectations for Sourbombe’s bombolonis given that it was so highly raved about. For context, we consumed immediately at the store itself (not takeaway). However, was truly disappointed by the dry and slightly hard & cold texture of the bun, and the filling was not extraordinary. Overall, not worth the price & better donuts can be found elsewhere.

Items tried:
Milo Dinosaur ($4.80):
The milo dinosaur tasted absolutely nothing like milo, and despite so, if it tasted like chocolate or malt (or at least good, it would have still be fine). But the texture of the filling simply felt like “failed pudding” and we couldn’t bring ourselves to finish even half the donut.

Basque Burnt Cheesecake ($5.60):
The basque burnt cheesecake filling was at least good, had a slight similarity to a custard texture and taste, but overall, with the dry bun, the price for the donut is not justified & we would not purchase again.

Overall Rating: 6.5/10⭐️
Items:
Roasted Pistachio ice cream scoop
Had high expectations for roasted pistachio, however it fell short as the flavour was just mild and only a tinge of pistachio could be tasted as compared to other stores.

Yogurt Speculoos scoop
The yogurt speculoos was exactly as expected, similar to what you would expect at smööy, or yoguru for the yogurt texture and taste, along with speculoos bits in it.

Waffle ($5.80)
The waffle was not very big, and we recommend one person having one each, as it was not enough for two! For those who enjoy airy and crispy waffles (not dense at all), this would be your go-to waffle! However, we felt that the waffle was too airy to our liking, and 2 scoops of ice cream was too much for one waffle.

Damage: $15.20 (before 30% burpple beyond)

Overall, this place would be nice for those who stay nearby as it serves decent ice cream & waffle, especially if you have burrple beyond which makes it reasonably prices, else, the waffle may feel a little pricey for the size!

Items ordered:
Mentaiko Fries $14
the fries was served with a generous portion of mentaiko sauce, which was torched on the top (an extra point that we enjoyed!)

Bucket of Wings $20
The bucket of wings (12 pieces) were served with pickles and 2 sauces on the side — sambal mayo and honey mustard — though the sauce texture was relatively solid and we preferred the chicken without the sauce. personally, we would not order it again should we visit the cafe again as the wings were not very special, and we wondered if the wings were frozen wings — not very crispy either. the only attractive point was that for 12 pieces, $20 is a reasonable price for sharing!

Papa’s Breakfast $26
Papa’s Breakfast came with pork sausage, portobello mushrooms, seasonal greens (rocket leaves), tomato, multigrain toast with butter, and eggs — which you could choose for it to be overeasy, scrambled or sunny side up. we chose overeasy, and all the components complemented each other, especially the portobello mushrooms and toast which stood out. was it worth $26, not really — it wasn’t bad but didn’t stand out much!

Black Bean Chorizo Skillet $20
this dish was made of: baked egg, chorizo sausage, black bean, sauteed king oyster mushroom, sweet and spicy sauce, sourdough toast. in our opinion, the chorizo was a little overcooked. the sourdough toast did complement the dish well but it would be ‘gelak’ to finish the entire dish by yourself — so we recommend to share it!

Iced Flat White $7
not a coffee connoisseur, so can’t comment much on it, but the coffee was good and would come back for it again!

total damage: $86.72 inclusive of gst & service charge (used 1-for-1 sides deal)

Brunch here on a weekend at 12pm was crowded, but no queue required! The food and coffee came relatively quick, and the atmosphere was good. However, do note that should you be looking to use your burpple beyond deal, for the 1-for-1 mains, the fish & chips, and soft shell chilli crab burger are excluded. and for the 1-for-1 sides, the mussel is excluded from the deal — we were only notified at the counter, would be great if they could indicate it on burpple itself! well, it may be worth visiting again to try the mains, simply to grab a coffee, or even try out the pastries and desserts as we did not try it this time!
