($8) I opt out for one single shot for the drink. But then its not bad coffee taste as it's quite not acidic aftertaste. But chocolate and coffee taste combined 2 in 1 and didn't covered up each flavour and taste.
Tried the carrot cake and the rose lychee tea cake.
I love the carrot cake - it’s pretty moist and love the ratio of cream cheese to cake.
The rose lychee cake is nice too — the texture is more like a sponge cake and I love the rose lychee infused cake flavour.
Would recommend trying the pastries especially with the burpple deal.
💸:$10.10
Tried the mentaiko fries and cheese sticks
Love the mentaiko fries, look at that rad mentaiko sauce drenching the fries. I love the fries too - it’s the larger kind which i personally like more. Would recco this especially for mentaiko lovers.
Cheese stick were alright and came with some tomato sauce which is a nice touch.
We tried their craft beers and it’s worth a try!
💸: $16.63
Ordered the National Day special laksa spaghetti and the Samsui chicken soba
The samsui chicken soba is so great! I wish I can find out how they make this. The sauce coating the soba is so addictive and the chicken is a good pairing. Would definitely order this again.
The spaghetti was alright, nothing special but it’s definitely a decent fusion dish with laksa taste and a good option for foreigners to try laksa.

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!
The chocolate banana cake was topped with banana chunks and chocolate chips. The cake had the right amount of sweetness without being overly cloy however I felt it could have been more chocolatey. While it looks moist on the outside, it tasted rather dry and hard to swallow after a few bites. Would recommend other pastries or cakes that they offer instead.
