Kaeden Cafe

I'm often disappointed by cafe pasta, but I'd say this did its job. Well-done noodles with a skilful design of flavours. The fish got some standard but could be better.

I surrender. I came in always cynical of cafe food and this really impressed me. Beef was flawless - so wine-intense, beefy and tender. By extension, the rice was just perfect every mouth. Sadly it's very little, its only blemish.

Lovely mushroom cream inside. This one can.

Love the roasted salmon, thick cut w crispy skin! Duck confit was tender but skin not crispy. Cauliflower puree was nice, tasted like mashed potato but only a shallow portion given

Found another cafe that is quite worth going to if you have #burpplebeyond ! It's a pretty large space but somehow was almost empty when I was there for a weekday dinner...

The Baked Salmon with Mentaiko Pasta ($24 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond) was pretty good overall, with the salmon being exceptionally well executed. It was a big slice, and was very well marinated. It was very tender, not overcooked at all and fresh. The pasta itself was okay, can get quite surfeiting towards the end.

I also got a Flat Iron Steak ($29 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond) and it was moderately tender (probably due to the cut of the meat) and pretty juicy and beefy. It was slightly under seasoned, nothing a side of salt and pepper can't solve. Not bad, can try but I would get something else next time.

Their Crispy Brussel Sprouts ($14) was a huge bowl, and it wasn't too salty. It wasn't too bitter either and I could taste some natural sweetness in the aftertaste!

I think this place is quite worth with the usage of #burpplebeyond, although I probably wouldn't come here without it. Definitely a can try!

warm, comforting soup. simple and good as an appetiser.
