Singaporean's Guide To Ulu Café Hopping

Price Range: $17-$22

Nearest MRT: Bugis

Instagrammability: High -
From wall typography to table accessories, everything here is engineered for the gram.

Food:
1) Butterscotch Popcorn Waffles [$14.00]
Enjoyable & crisp, though it was hard to find the butterscotch elements.
Popcorn could've been a teensy bit more crisp, but its sugar restraint kept it from overpowering the waffles into cloying sweetness.

2) Affogato Pancakes [$12.00]
I don't even know why we non-coffee drinkers ordered this, but objectively speaking, the pancakes went fine with Hyde's espresso syrup.
Marshmallows were nicely charred.
You may want to lay off the syrup at the start to prevent the pancakes from just sitting & soaking in the coffee's bitterness.

3) Pulled Pork Mantou Sliders [$8.00]
At $2.67 apiece, each slider satiated with sufficiently flavourful meat & bearable slaw sandwiched between slices of golden-fried mantou.
You'll be neither extremely impressed nor disappointed with this safe choice.

4) Chocolate Meringue Tea [$9.00]
A pot of nice fumes & acquired tastes.

Though H&C was "fine", its considerable proximity from the MRT and lack of distinct, one-of-a-kind signatures may stand in Hyde's path towards becoming more than just a pretty café.
