Singaporean's Guide To Ulu Café Hopping
Price Range: $27-$32
Nearest MRT: Somerset/Clarke Quay
Instagrammability: Moderate -
Arresting door entrance & decent interior design.
Food:
1) Brioche French Toast [$18.00++]
No doubt, one of Singapore's better French Toasts. The bread is pillowy soft, the berry compote/vanilla bean/cinnamon toppings classic.
Herein lies my problem with CMCR: Costs of café fare are often already multiples of daily sustenance; yet CMCR manages to rack up multiples of other cafés' bills.
The pricetag of $21.20 makes the plate of two slices of amazing bread and a dollop of ice-cream & berries a little hard to swallow.
2) Organic Eggs Benedict [$24.00++]
Two expertly-handled eggs sitting atop gamey oxtail & tough sourdough, while surrounded by a distressing amount of rocket.
Again, decent but pricey.
3) Flat White [$5.00++]
Visually average.
"Got the roasted taste." (Jes, 2015)
4) Iced Chocolate [$7.50++]
As with many other joints, dilute.
Besides being quite inaccessible from MRT stations, Common Man's pricey stated prices resemble those which've already included all prevailing taxes. We couldn't even afford to fill up the screen, lol.
