Extended hours? We were strolling in Joo Chiat and saw them open. It was a surprise but we just ordered two slices. Still very good to me, but the fiancee felt the standard has dropped since Mr Mohgan passed away.

Plain & Plaster Prata Back to Mr and Mrs Mohgan's for their crispy prata. Although missing Mr Mohgan now, their prata is still as crispy as before. Everything else feels the same. Pratas are crispy on the outside, stretchy and fluffy on the inside. I always go for the fish curry but I noticed they don't serve homemade sambal anymore. Plain Prata 》$1.50 Plaster Prata 》$2

Crispy roti prata Mr & Mrs Mohgan Super Crispy Roti Prata! One of the crispiest prata in Singapore! Have eaten this countless times, and still not sick of it! My favourite prata brunch to have along the Joo Chiat Road stretch! We visited on a late Saturday morning (around 9.45am), and it took almost 45 minutes for the food to be served! I super love how they can make the prata so crispy! Even the Egg prata! Usually egg prata elsewhere are all soggy and soft, but this was sooo crispy! Ask for fish curry here (if you do not like lamb curry like me)! Tip: Head straight to order the prata when you arrive! Find seats ONLY after you have ordered your prata! Location: 300 Joo Chiat Rd, Tin Yeang Restaurant, Singapore 427551

Tasting Menu ($83+) Based on the previous review. ;)

Tasting Platter ($83+) Nice environment, there was only 4 tables taken for the night so it was a quiet place. It was a 13 course meal, and each dish was very dainty. Small and cute. All the items are organic and the chef didn't put any seasonings to it. There were some miss and hits. Personally the tomato stew with crab was very well executed. Another personal favorite would be the Pate of Cooked Chicken Liver, interesting burst of flavors. The bay scallops and pepper was good too. The others are just alright. Can tell that the chef put in alot of effort. Quite nice for a date night.

Artisan dessert A fancy restaurant to indulge in artisan desserts. Love my experience at Mad About Sucre with my friends. We got 4 desserts that come with tea/cocktail pairing. The service staff were really attentive, taking their time to explain the ingredients in each dessert. Expect to spend about $30 per pax but I feel that the money spent is worth the experience.

Doughnut & Croissant The fluffy doughnut from YY Kafei Dian is delightfully light and airy, with a perfect touch of sweetness, making it an irresistible treat. Meanwhile, the plain croissant stands out with its wonderful layers and hint of buttery flavour. Both are excellently crafted and highlight the cafe's commitment to quality baked goods. Loved the iced milo and iced milk tea.

Egg Tart ($2.20) Decided to order for trying their side dish beside their kaya bread. I felt that their egg tart custard was not that bad and not that hard (decent level) but their outer pastry crust was slightly hard to chew thru.

Hainanese Pork Chop ($10) tbh I did enjoy their Hainanese Pork Chop compared to another store beside them. It's much crispy and also crunchy texture for pork chop. The sauce for Hainanese Pork Chop was quite mild spicy and not that spicy that I thought of.

Iced Mint Mocha Iced Mint Mocha at Tolido's Espresso Nook is a refreshing masterpiece! The perfect balance of rich espresso, velvety milk, and invigorating mint flavours creates a delightful summer treat. Visually stunning, with mint leaves and chocolate powder, making it Instagram-worthy.

Pumpkin spice latte Seriously can't take any pumpkin spice at all. There's a little bit of nutmeg on top. They took our feedback and made us another cup. Very nice but honestly both taste exactly the same lol no pumpkin spice

Brownie Blackout brownies are all good, this one is abit too sticky-dense and outside isn't the most crispy, so not top tier. But still enjoyable

Coconut Tart And Lemongrass Tea Yesterday once more ..... A pretty sad Sunday for me as today spells the end of Dong Po’s journey after a good six years . Have been back to the cafe almost every other day since i knew about their impending closure . Managed to pack my rum cakes and coconut tarts back home to savour .... Got the refreshing Lemongrass tea today for the sweltering weather and the usual old fashioned coconut tart . I will miss this familiar space and hopefully they will be back somewhere , somehow .

Official last 2 days to visit and say goodbye to @dongpocolonialcafe if you haven’t. They closed their doors this Sunday at 24 Mar. Really light and yummy Apple and Aloe Vera cake and wobbly bread pudding - omg I’m sad now that this would be the first and last time I would be having this. But oh well, but late then never.

Pandan Coconut Butter Cake Back at my hiding place at Dong Po colonial cafe. Apart from my usual order of coconut tart , I was happy to see another of my favourites - the Pandan coconut cake on display . So fragrant and moist with the natural flavour of pandan shining through and a little desiccated coconut to add some texture amidst the soft and tender cake . And at 1.50 per slice for so much love and effort - what affordability in this day and age where cafes are charging 7 to 8 dollars for cake slices that are mainly churned out in bulk from central kitchens ( or factories I call them ...) This reminds me of a headline that I read somewhere on why would people pay 15 dollars for brunch but less willing to pay for a plate of wanton Mee which sometimes requires much more work , effort and behind the scenes preparation . Perfect afternoon treat with a cup of their fabulous Kopi to watch the world go by .... I hope places like Dong Po will live on forever ... because it just preserves a past of Singapore....

Disappointing and overpriced Friends used to frequent this cafe so we decided to drop by. Had the Duck Confit Rosti ($22), Truffle Fries ($13), and Kombucha ($8). Rosti was pretty thin but I give it a thumbs up for being crisp at the edges and also quite delicious. Nothing to complain about for the eggs but I thought the "duck Confit" was more like shredded leftover duck. Fries came in a huge portion but I could barely taste the truffle. And the volume of kombucha I got for 8 bucks was pathetic. Service-wise, it was passable but bordering on unfriendly.

Smoked Salmon Hash ($22) Smoked Salmon Hash ($22) This came with 2 poached eggs, and a generous amount of smoked salmon on top of crispy rosti, topped with Tobiko! The smoked salmon was slightly salty, but had a nice flavour too, altho it did overpower the rosti flavour a little. Overall a nice place to chill at, and you might need to queue for seats during weekends & lunch timings. Much preferred the vibes over the food, so go with managed expectations! Overall Rating: 7/10

Mentaiko Mac and Cheese ($20) Established in 2013, @knockhousecafe is located a few minutes walk from Upper Thomson MRT. Previously known as Pacamara, they have rebranded to Knockhouse Cafe since 2020. Mentaiko Mac and Cheese ($20) Slightly cheesy and creamy, but would prefer a much stronger Mentaiko flavour and more generous sauce! Didn't particularly enjoy the chicken that was within because of the texture and flavour.

Chicken Burger 🐱 - Chicken Burger ($22) The chicken patty is slightly oily, but luckily it’s not too dry on the inside — a common mistake in chicken burgers. The buns are nice and soft, the French fries crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the coleslaw is just, oh well, a typical coleslaw, nothing special. Also what’s with that lonely quarter-strip slice of the poor pickle when there’s room for more pickles…?!?!?!

Pancake with warm maple butter 🍵 - Pancake with warm maple butter ($20) w choice of blueberry (high recommendation), banana walnut or chocolate chunks. I really like their thick pancake but I managed to eat two of pancake pieces only. It was too much for me and good for sharing with people. The pancake got eggy taste and quite soft texture. The warm maple butter and blueberry sauce was really thick and sweet aftertaste. The sauce complemented well with the pancake 👍

Blueberry Pancakes We were lucky to try their pancakes before they close their Singapore outlet for good! The pancakes resembled that of mcgriddles muffins but more fluffy! The maple syrup was really thick and fragrant. However as the serving size was pretty big, this could get quite jelak towards the end. Nevertheless, still a wonderful plate of pancakes!

Mango Berry Sunset [$20] Created in collaboration with Tanqueray, this cocktail was a very bright concoction, both visually and in taste, with quite a sweet-tasting mix of Tanqueray London Dry, Raspberry Puree, Lemon Juice and Mango.

Donut Balls [$15] We had the house-made Donut Balls for dessert. They are freshly fried on order and comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, crumbles, blueberries and a sweet blueberry date compote. The outmost layer of each ball had a pretty nice crunch, but it was unfortunately too dense and doughy past that.

Veggie Puttanesca Pizza [$22] The Veggie Puttanesca Pizza is a new seasonal main, featuring an all-vegetable assortment of toppings on a base decked with puttanesca sauce. It includes Kalamata olives, capsicum, Roma tomatoes, button mushrooms, yellow onions and arugula. Not a huge fan of the pizza base, as it was a little more dry and biscuity.

Choco banana pancake 13.2++ Average. Pancake was a little bit dry, flavours were lacking

Banana pancake stack One of the more consistent and affordable pancakes in town . Forget those flat and inconsistent and expensive ones from cafes - go for the real deal . Ask for your pancakes to be “ cooked well” if you prefer an American style pancake as opposed to a soufflé style ( which is a little wet inside ).

Matcha soufflé pancakes. Fluffy , aromatic , good genuine matcha flavour . Excellent.

Kuri Ringo ($8.90) Layers of sponge cake and chunky apple bits topped chestnut cream. Honestly, didn't really like this The flavours didn't gel together well and the apples had this funky artificial taste. Chestnut seemed more like an afterthought rather than an integral part of the dessert. Come to Hvala for the matcha but not for the cakes as all the ones I've tried have been disappointing so far.

An-butter brioche ($13.90). We had initially wanted to share the dairy free waffles but since it was near to closing and they ran out of the waffles, we picked the an-butter brioche for sharing instead. An-butter, which is Japanese sweet red bean paste made from azuki beans (anko) blended with rich butter. It’s sweetness was just right to balance the umaminess of the matcha gelato, while the butter was pretty subtle. The brioche bun was, however, slightly dry. You could have a choice of the bun being served alongside a scoop of oatmilk or matcha°1 gelato.

Goma slice ($8.90), Hot Yuki premium grade matcha ($5.50). The consolation of missing a good cup of matcha from Japan is finding something similar from @hvala_sg. Boasting a velvety texture, Yuki, an everyday premium grade matcha delivers a harmonious balance of umami and natural sweetness. The mellow flavor profile encompasses a pleasant bitterness that is neither overpowering nor sharp with medium astringency. A suggested pairing would be the Goma Slice, where layers of goma (black sesame) sponge and cream imparted a rich, toasty note that danced on the palate. The sweetness of the cake was perfectly balanced, complementing the nutty essence without overwhelming it. Recommended for sharing.
