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.

Best sourdough pizza! Our two favourite flavours are the Supreme (love the olives) and pesto based sausage. Aaamazing, delivers well too 😍

Great deep dish for a group This deep dish pizza has lots of soft cheese, and not too much sauce. I would recommend sharing this with a few people because it can be a lot of cheese for one person.

Pepperoni Lots of cheese, just enough sauce, square pizza. Just beware they don't cut it up for delivery, but that makes it easy to share with lots of people.

Sundried Tomato and Feta Sourdough This is so good!! I had this warm and straight from the oven. It’s so soft and fluffy, with generous chunks of sundried tomato and feta cheese embedded in the lightly flavoured bread with an incredibly light, tender crumb. I wanted to try this fresh so I didn’t toast or butter it, but I can imagine how good it’s go on a cheese board or with a hummus or avocado dip! The sourish tang is extremely muted, so it’s kid-friendly. You can have it sliced on the spot, and that’s so convenient! <3

Super Awesome Sourdough! Def going back to try more hehe :") tried the nutty coffee & cranberry walnut. BOTH AS DELICIOUS HEHE

[📍Urban Loaf factory, Alexandra Singapore] Always my to-go place for sourdough~~@urbanloaf.factory I really loveeeee their sourdough sooooo much!!! Their sourdough bread is always so moist, spongy and fluffy and not too sour/tangy. I really love the perfect harmonisation of the slight tanginess and natural sweetness~😊 Really the BEST sourdough I've eaten in SG. The ones that i had at elsewhere are usually very hard and dry but Valerie's version is simply so soft with a deep rich profile and really aromatic! They have a good range of sourdough flavours, ranging from the classic, rye, nutty (eg. Tri-seed rye), savoury (eg. sundried tomato and feta cheese, olive garlic, onion cheese) to sweet flavours (eg. Cranberry walnut, cinnamon and chocolate banana). With such a wide variety of flavours, one would definitely be spoilt for choices.They come in either half loaf ($5-7) or full loaf ($8-12). Each loaf is seriously packed with lots of ingredients~ love their generosity with the ingredients. My always to go favourites are the: 1) Tri-seed rye 2) Cranberry walnut (which is their no. 1 best seller) The spinach and cheese is also very nice!!! Actually all their flavours are really good so there is always something for everyone~ Shall try the classic sourdough / rye version on my next stock up! I love how you can simply put it in the freezer to keep it for up to a month~ just have to microwave it for 30-40s before popping these gems into your mouth🤤 even after freezing and microwaving, their moisture, softness and chewiness still retains. Taste: 5/5 Worth it: 5/5 Although sourdough bread are pricer than normal loaf of bread that you get from supermarket, i feel that these naturally leaven bread are a good investment due to the myriad of health benefits: low in gluten, good source of prebiotics, preservative-free and low in GI. Also urbanloaf factory's pricing is really similar to the market rate and with such as awesome taste, they are SO DAMN WORTH IT Overall Ratings: 10/10 No go Can go MUST GO😊YAASS #burpple

Great Ambience! I had the cappuccino and it was perfect! The owners were really friendly as well! Nice, homely place :)

Waffles and Ice Cream A neighbourhood cafe that serves desserts, drinks as well as snackers/mains. They even make bubble tea with an assortment of toppings! The interior is themed, suitable for people who want to take photos for Instagram. The ice-cream is fat free and hence supposedly less sinful. Will be back for that cozy/homely feeling. What's better is that they open until 3am for those who want supper in Toa Payoh.

Ondeh Ondeh Dessert always great choice here when crave for something sweet. Tried the $6 a slice then, self help iced water. Really hidden gem.

Seasalt Caramel Roast Chicken (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Would usually avoid ordering Roast Chicken in cafes/restaurants because they can end up being overcooked and dry, but I enjoyed their Half Seasalt Caramel Roast Chicken! Felt that the basics were done right, with the meat tender and well-seasoned underneath the crispy skin. I know Seasalt Caramel sounded more like an ice cream flavour LOL but the sweet-savoury sticky glaze made the dish less one-dimensional! 🍗⁣

Chuncky Beef Bolognese (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🍝 Also enjoyed the Chuncky Beef Bolognese, which features thick chunks of stewed beef in a tangy tomato sauce. The chuck meat was slow-cooked until tender with no gamey taste, and the tomato base didn't taste like those factory-made ones. If you're craving beef but find minced beef in the usual bolognese pasta unsatisfying, this is the dish to get! ⁣

Old Habits Coconut Kueh (Pouffle) ($9.90++) Cross between coconut pudding and souffle, this was a really interesting one! Came piping hot, and paired well with the icecream! A nice hot and cold combination that kind of reminds of bread pudding.

Affordable hidden gem Had the truffle beef bowl for ~$15 and cam with free salad and miso. Super worth and beef was very tender. Would come back again!

Lemon Salmon Set Really enjoyed this dish! Could have had more salmon or a little bit more seasoning on the rice, but it was alright! Salad came with loads of corn!

Poke Bowl Ordered the Standard Bowl ($15.90) on a whim, and was more than pleased by the standard of the dish. I had my choice of 2 fishes, and I chose the Mentai Salmon and Spicy Sesame Salmon. Both fishes came cubed, and in a generous portion. I had the choice of five more toppings, and opted for Cucumbers Chuka Wakame Mandarin Oranges Onsen Egg (honestly just a half boiled egg) and Flying Fish Roe It was rather value for money, and at a nice and quite corner in the new Tai Seng Center. Definitely a decent lunch option if I’m ever craving for a quick poke bowl fix without having to go too far!

One Last Hurrah Before Moving To A New Home Artichoke will be moving into a new home soon, and the last day of operations in the current Middle Road restaurant will be on 22 March. If you have a reservation from now till then, good on you! If not, shame on you but they will continue slaying with the New Bahru community from May. Till then, peace out and see you on the other side of Singapore!

Green Harissa Prawns And at the mention of their bread ($4.80/ Bag of Bread), the Green Harissa Prawns ($38) were wonderfully seasoned. That tantalising green harissa enriched sauce/oil with split cream and burnt onions packed a nice heated punch so you would really need that extra warm dough to wipe it all up~ The prawns are also plump and sweet.

Mezze Platter As good as I remembered them to be, Artichoke’s hummus is a must so I got their Mezze Platter ($28) for lunch. Plated with miso hummus with pomegranate, beetroot hummus with sesame seeds, Greek chickpea salad, refreshing greens, tangy pickles and bread; the 3 mezzes of the day were great to share for two. Smooth and creamy, the savoury miso hummus was bomb diggity but the vibrant beetroot dip was an absolute delight - both perfectly moreish and bangin’ when paired with their pillowy-doughy bread.

Classic Chendol Bowl Classic Chendol Bowl ($4.50) consisted of grass jelly, red bean, rose pearls, black pearls, taro balls (opt out) and coconut ice cream. I did opt out for taro balls during order time and the uncle was kind enough to give more grass jelly instead. It's quite cool and refreshing dessert but I couldn't ate chendol finish due to order too much food. I hope that I will order less food at there next time. It was probably under eatigo discount (50%) and got that kind of mindset need to order more food.

Chicken Sausage and Egg Gratin Chicken Sausage and Egg Gratin ($7.90) served with chicken sausage, runny (soft-boiled) egg and baked till golden brown. I felt that it was quite creamy and milky due to the layers of cream and cheese of the gratin. I couldn't ate gratin finish due to order too much food. I takeaway gratin to avoid food waste and brought home for dinner. Under eatigo discount (50%)

Cheese Fries (S) Cheese Fries (S) ($4.90) look almost similar to mos burger fries thickness. It was fresh fried from the deep fryer and don't have overfried smell. I didn't eaten cheese fries finish due to order too much food. I takeaway cheese fries to avoid food waste and brought home for dinner. Under eatigo discount (50%)

Sourdough ($6.30) Torched cheese on sourdough toast again after not having it for awhile. This sourdough is really chewy and has a slight hint of sourness too. The crust wasn’t tough so that was good! The sourdough loaves here come in smaller sizes so they’re easy to keep as well.

Onde Onde Cake Gula melaka cravings satisfied. Fluffy cake layers. This is $58 for full cake size. A hot seller.

Happy Cheesecake Super generous with Oreo crumbs. Messy yet interesting. Awesome colours in Cheesecake.
