Such a pretty presentation with the dried rosebuds in it. I liked that I could taste the bitter earthy taste of the houjicha.

This place combines Pullman Bakery and Tachihara Coffee. The French toast was buttery and felt like it was made from very soft milk bread, quite unlike any other French toast I’ve tried, and very Japanese in style. The soft boiled eggs comes free if you get a toast with a drink. It’s not actually soft boiled eggs, but rather a ramen egg with a nice heap of bonito flakes on top.

I had mafalde pasta with pomodoro ($9.90), prawns ($4.50) and sun-dried tomatoes ($1.50). Really appreciate that this place sells handmade pasta! The prawns were juice and the sauce was tasty. Portion size was just nice, not too big, but it also kept me pretty full for a long time after.

Two huge slabs of chicken breast in tomato sauce, with a layer of melted cheese on top, accompanied by potato wedges and cauliflower. This was better than expected. The chicken was tender, and this was the first time I’ve seen purple and green cauliflowers in Singapore.

I don’t understand the hype behind this. It is, at best, mediocre chee cheong fun. The skin is thick and sticky, and the mushrooms don’t go well with the cheong fun. I did appreciate that it’s not oily and the portion is big enough for dinner.

A seasonal dish, this is a sweet twist on Micro’s ricotta tartine. There is the same beautiful sourdough with a chewy centre and crisp crust, and the same pillowy light heapings of ricotta, topped with persimmon purée, persimmons, candied walnuts and rosemary. It’s unique, delicious, and hearty. The mix of sourness, sweetness and savoriness, and the mix of chewy, soft and crunchy textures, complement each other amazingly. The prices at Micro keep rising but this is totally worth the $15.

This is probably the basic level of what I expect from HK style wanton noodles. Noodles are QQ, wantons are decent but not spectacular. I liked the clean-tasting soup.

I was excited to see that unsweetened pure matcha was on the menu. But yucks. This is so astringent! Phoon Huat matcha powder tastes better (less astringent, less bitter, smoother), and at a fraction of the price. I suppose it would be palatable if I ordered it in matcha latte form, but then what would be the point of ordering supposedly premium matcha if you have to add milk to make it taste alright?

We ordered this meaning for it to be a healthy salad dish but it was the unhealthiest of everything we ordered. It’s overly salty and cheesy to the point of being dense and heavy.

My favourite dish of the ones we ordered. The octopus, broccolini and hummus combined beautifully. This may be listed under the small plates section but it was filling and a meal in itself.

Love the QQ noodles and the big wantons with their QQ prawns. However the soup is salty and very oily.

The biggest draw of Flash Coffee is the number of promotions it has with other platforms. I got this for $1 in an OCBC PayAnyone promotion. It’s a decent coffee that does the job.
