Matcha Latte (Iced - $8) it's not nice ah but then not much choice for me to order except their coffee. The powder was not really dissolved well so need to stir as it's quite not bitter enough so got milky and sweet aftertaste.

1-for-1 : Bakes and Coffee (~save $12.50) Check out Anagram Coffee, a hidden gem in Anchorpoint Mall along Alexandra Rd. This cozy coffee nook isn’t just for grabbing an iced coffee; it’s an aesthetic haven that enhances your coffee experience. Swing by for a sip of perfection on the go!

Signature Mochi Donut with Cookie Butter Softserve ($15) Yum! Mochi donut was served hot and was very pleasantly chewy, it’s not sweet on its own so it complements the other components. The cookie biscuit that was the base of the softserve was good too, crunchy and sweet/buttery. Softserve was p smooth and creamy, cookie butter flavour was distinct and honestly much less sweet than typical speculoos-flavoured desserts. It’s served with some granola (that had freeze dried raspberry bits) and salted caramel sauce! Overall a p solid dessert, each component was good and came together nicely, not too sweet as a whole. The mochi donut is v filling so thankfully we shared this between 3! The only thing is that it would have been better if served on a plate - having it in the bowl meant that the donut was soaked in the softserve ‘soup’ when it melted.

Mochi Donut Icecream Brotherbird is very well known for their pastries especially their croissants! To my delight, their cafe’s desserts are beyond imagination. This bowl of goodness is put together using bisoff soft serve, Mochi donut, dried strawberries and wafer. The texture was so balanced with soft and crisp, hot and cold. Goes really well with coffee and tea. Expected Damage: $15

Finally tried this on a lazy Friday afternoon. This mentaiko prawn double baked croissant feels well tailored to the singapore tastebud, with hints of sambal and lotssss of prawns. For $6.50, it's a unique dish that deserves a try. Plus it's quiet in the afternoon for some readings too. Only wished it could be served hotter and more crisp.

Back at Daiyusan for dinner! Was over at Daiyusan Sushi Bar for dinner earlier this week with my dining companion. Like my first visit, the overall food experience still feels pleasant and enjoyable. This time round, we tasted a different selection of food. The night’s menu consisted of: ~Deluxe Chirashi Don: Definitely the highlight of our meal. This indulgent bowl came with a fresh offering of assorted fish cubes, uni, and ikura, atop a bed of rice that was seasoned really well! ~The Kushiyaki Moriawase (Chicken Wing, Asparagus with Bacon, Cherry Tomato with Bacon, Chicken Thigh , Shitake Mushroom): Each skewer was nicely grilled, and my personal favourites were the Cherry Tomato with Bacon which nicely pairs sweet tomato with the savoury meat, and the lightly salted and juicy Chicken Thigh. ~Buta Kakuni Don: The braised pork belly slices were tender and packed with flavour! This was also served with a soft boiled egg which added a creamy mouthfeel. ~Chawanmushi of the Day (Uni Chawanmushi and Unagi Chawanmushi): Both versions of chawanmushi were good, but we both preferred the unagi one!

Try this for yourself! In these 2 months of festivities and joyous occasions, why not indulge in some quality yet affordable Japanese cuisine at @daiyusansg, which has 4.7⭐️ on Google Reviews! Here's what we enjoyed… 👉Deluxe Chirashi Don 👉Japanese Amberjack Cheek grilled with Teriyaki Sauce 👉Chawanmushi of the Day x 2 - Scallop soaked in Sake - Monkfish Liver 👉Sashimi Mori Platter - Chutoro x 2 - Otoro x 2 with Uni - Akami x 2 - Salmon x 4 - Mekajiki x 2 - Hamachi x 2 - Hotate x 2 with Ikura One look at the menu and you'll see that this cosy Japanese restaurant has something for everyone regardless of how deep your pockets are. Go for their reasonably priced dons, or if you're feeling boujee, dive into their fresh plump sashimi platters! What's extra commendable about @daiyusansg is how they do take criticisms seriously and improve from there. An example would be their chirashi don - after receiving comments that their truffle rice was too overpowering, we were quite impressed that their dons came with a more balanced taste. All in all, @daiyusansg is an unexpected surprise nestled amongst the industrial park of Tai Seng & though it may be slightly out of the way, the pocket-friendly menu does make it worthwhile to drop by!

大雨傘 Kaisen Don ($39.90) The sashimi slices were fresh and decently thick, but it was the ingredients beneath that elevated this bowl! The rice had nice bites of crispy tiny shrimps and crunchy puffed rice with mild truffle undertones; something different from the regular flavoured rice you find at other places.

All Day Sammies! This place has been on my to-go list for the longest time! Finally found appropriate time to head down over the CNY long weekend break! Had a hard time deciding which All Day Sammies to get, and here is our final choice! -Counter Brekkie ($13.50+): Smoked pork bacon, avocado slices, over easy egg with sriracha sauce -Sunday Cals ($14+): Wanted to order this because of the creamy egg salad it had! Comes with crispy spam, bacon bits and American cheddar! -Dirty Matcha ($7+): Actually I wanted to order Matcha Latte! But did not know that I was scrolling amongst the “coffee” section only (I thought that was the full drinks menu)! So this was how we ended up with a dirty matcha (which has caffeine) even though I am not a caffeine drinker. But luckily, this dirty matcha was pretty nice! The coffee taste was not too overpowering and the matcha taste balanced it out quite nicely! Location: 380 E Coast Rd, Singapore 428986

Sunday Cal Sunday Cal ($13.00) that includes all the ingredients that I would go. Creamy Eggs Mayo, Spam, Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Bits, my perfect breakfast @breakfastgrill Location: Breakfast Grill, 380 East Coast Road, Singapore 428986

Magic mushroom ($14.50) Perfectly juicy baked portobello was paired with crunchy enoki strings and creamy spinach for great textural interplay. Super hearty and vegetarian done right but did feel that the lighter mushroom and vegetable flavours were a tad overpowered by the brioche. Insta: cafehoppingkids

Great matcha latte! Came across this café while looking around for coffee options for my partner on Good Friday PH. The café was bustling even at 5:30pm! The space looks aesthetically pleasing and a quick glance of what the patrons were having all looked so good. Purchased this Iced Matcha Strawberry Latte ($8) for myself to go. This was so good!! Love the chunky strawberry bits, and the sweetness really complemented the bitter matcha perfectly. The consistency of the matcha latte is also very smooth, and you can taste that they use quality matcha powder. Really very impressed and I think their version is better than Syip’s 👍🏼

Brunch food for dinner! Finally made a trip to September Coffee Cafe! This has been on my to-visit list of cafes for quite a while! Visited on a Friday evening and it was full house when we reached! The cafe doesn't take in reservations, so walk in queue only! Was told that the queue wait might be around 45mins, but we got called back in less than 15mins of walking around Chinatown! Here is what we ordered: -Crabmeat Linguine ($18+): Super love this! No regrets choosing this! Quite a substantial portion of pasta and crabmeat. Everything went so well together with the ebiko and seaweed strips! The pasta sauce is spicy lemon garlic butter so it had a little spice flavour to it. Pasta was also cooked to the right texture! -Hearty Brekkie with Pancetta ($22+): We had BRUNCH food for DINNER! haha! Loved this platter because there was French toast! Instead of the usual sourdough bread etc. Loved the Uni Mayo Tater Tots! You can also choose whether you want pancetta / smoked salmon / scrambled eggs for the proteins! Enjoyed the food here!

Uni Mayo Tater Tots (Half) | $7 Absolutely love tater tots and here, the tater tots were hot and crispy! The flavour of the uni Mayo was good, but would’ve definitely appreciated if there were more sauce to be shared amongst all the tots. The half portion was delightful because it was perfect for trying and sharing, without having too huge a portion. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Mango Yuzu ($8.50++) Do note that there is service charge if u dine in. There are mango and yuzu slices in the middle of the cake. The cake was quite fluffy. It wasn't too sweet nor jelat. There is also tanginess in the cream.

Guava Lychee Cake 🎂 A stone’s throwaway from Maxwell MRT, this new space at Neil Road is the first dine-in concept serving their signature fresh cream cakes, waffles, cold-pressed juices and more 🍰✨ Couldn’t miss out on their best seller, Guava Lychee Slice. An exotic combination of guava-infused sponge layered with guava cream and lychee bits, this light chiffon-style fresh cream cake comes at a good sweetness level 🎂 Overall, a cozy tranquil dessert spot decorated with lush botany 🌿 What stood out to us is that we could try and sample the different albeit limited flavours by the slice (since their original outlet in MacPherson only accepts takeaway orders as a full cake). 📸 Instagram/TikTok: @myfoodframes

Minimalistic cafe helmed by baking duo Zee & Elle ✨ We also tried another best selling cake - 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗬𝘂𝘇𝘂 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($𝟴.𝟵𝟬) 🫶 Made with cotton soft yuzu sponge, freshly made yuzu curd and New Zealand manuka honey cream. A refreshing citrus pairing! 🍋 📸 Instagram/TikTok: @myfoodframes

Strong nut/chocolate flavor Latte

Jalapeño Cheese Brezel Suppose to try their croissants but saw this interesting item available and grabbed this instead. Totally won’t regret getting it. They will heat it up upon order and the cheese smell immediately come out from it.

Strawberry Matcha Latte A small cafe but with super high ceiling located at 9 Penang Road, the former location of Park Mall. They opened pretty early from 7:30am during the weekdays and glad to see the people who working nearby would come here to grab a cup of coffee. The Strawberry Matcha Latte is worth getting for those who don’t prefer coffee option. Come with super strong taste of matcha and mix well with the milk. The strawberry syrup at the bottom give a strong and balance sweet taste to the drink, one you stir it all.

Satisfying Grub Kampong Pizza, 20++. BBQ chicken, mozzarella, peppers. Make sure you arrive with an appetite as you’ll be leaving with a full belly! Good service also. Truffle fries also hit the right spot.

Combo 36 Smoked salmon with poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce served with hash brown, sauteed mushrooms, mix salad and a english muffin I really enjoyed what we ordered, and felt that everything went really well together. I especially liked the hash brown & sauteed mushrooms! The poached eggs were cooked really well too. They're running inside as you can see which I suppose is how poached eggs are supposed to be hahaha.

Truffle Fries @ The Tuckshop Price: S$10 Truffle fries are The One Ring to my Gollum. It's unarguably precious, and I get violent when people try to take it from me. Tuckshop's truffle fries are glorious - one of the best I've had so far.

MUST GET DRINK HERE iced tea topped with milk foam!! super refreshing and a huge glass too

Grilled cheese sandwich Gooey melted cheese between perfectly toasted sourdough bread. There was also pumpkin soup on the side which went really well with the grilled cheese sandwich. Ultimate comfort food 😭

Steak & hash Reviews online rated the steak better than the fried chicken on french toast but I beg to disagree. The runny eggs were good, the beef was ok, w a wasabishish sauce Was also psyched to discover this cafe, it’s such a pleasant place to have a good meal and do some work on the laptop. There was so much good food there I basically ate down the street! Pity it is a bit out of the way

Margherita Pizza ($21++), Grilled Veggies ($15++), Marinated Olives ($9++) I find a lot of joy when I bring loved ones to a favourite place and they love it them same. Today I introduce mum to my current favourite sourdough pizza with stracciatella cheese. She was sold at first bite. She also requested for a vegetarian meal so we opted for the grilled veggies which has green leafy (aka more nutritious) kale and broccolini, a mushroom steak and this ingenious bbq beetroot sauce. Also a sharing platter of avocado cream, pumpkin hummus, seeds praline served with pita bread and the marinated olives. We cannot bear to waste any bread here and the olives are divine. I tell her she needs to try the sourdough karaage next time. I was glad the dinner had mum nodding in unanimous approval and she says she will bring the men, relishing in their EPL match and instant noodles at home, here soon.
