Had the privilege of checking out @my_nonnas, a cafe at SUTD which serves primarily home-style Italian fare at very affordable prices - I kid you not. Helmed by Geri, the lady boss with a big heart and a witty sense of humour, the cafe focuses on engaging people with special needs, enabling them to grow a sense of independence and self-worth through service, and it was really heartening and definitely put a huge smile on my face to observe as the cheerful servers worked. 😊 Food-wise, I'm thoroughly impressed too - here are some highlights:

The Tiramisu is a standout here: light but generous layers of marscapone cheese fill between Italian ladyfingers soaked in Kahlua and Lavazza coffee mix. Boozy and texturally well-balanced, this was soooo good that I had close to two glasses! 😍

The Beef Stew with Mashed Potato and Chips is undoubtedly one of my top tier dishes here; tender and savoury chunks of beef soaked in what tastes like an alcohol-infused brown gravy, with a side of smooth, delicious mashed potato. Trust me - the chips work for some reason. 😉

Part of the Asian Delight selection, the Thai Red Curry with Blue Rice and Steamed Fish is also pretty darn good and not too spicy for my liking, while the fish is fresh and yummy!

Other dishes include Beef Bolognese, Italian Chicken with Pasta, Blackened Fish with Quinoa, Chicken Rice Bowl and Salmon, just to name a few!
