Simple yet satisfying. Love that this carbonara is cooked with pancetta bacon instead of the regular bacon so it doesn’t get too salty halfway through.

Seafood aglio olio
The pasta is al dente, full of seafood flavour, and the prawns is really really fresh. However, if you like your aglio olio to be really garlicky and spicy (which I do), you’ll probably find that it is slightly milder in these flavours!

Duck gnocchi
This is a must order. The chewy gnocchi and super tender duck, coated evenly with the rich meaty sauce is simply satisfying. Really really liked this dish!

Something special that you’ll not get to see in every standard brunch menu and I knew I had to order that. The avocado is really good. Even my friend who doesn’t fancy avocado agree with me. Everything on the plate paired really well with the corn fritter.

This Mentaiko mac n’ cheese is a must order for any mentaiko fans. This Mac n’ cheese is bursting with mentaiko flavour and blends really well with the creamy (but not overly creamy) sauce and perfectly cooked mac.

The pancake is slightly too thick and dry but the ice cream is perfect. Creamy vanilla with frozen fruit bits that keeps you wanting another bite!

White coffee, 5oz
One of the nicest coffee in Singapore imo. Strong enough yet not overpowering. I have tried both the House blend (chocolatey) and another blend (which is brighter and more acidic). I think the house blend is perfect in the 5oz white

Sipping the coffee in the minimalistic and chill environment, surrounded by greens, you’ll momentarily forget that you’re sitting in the middle of CBD

The first visit wasn’t successful as the queue was way too long during the Labour day long weekend. This, together with the many good reviews, made me looked forward to the coffee and food.

In picture is the soft shell crab burger, beef burger, chicken stew, nitro tea and nitro coffee. We also ordered the salmon and soba, burnt brussel sprouts, latte and a cold brew.

Honestly I am really disappointed with the food and drinks. The only dish that’s good is the burnt brussel sprouts, and the curly fries that came with the burgers (better than Mcd 😛). The beef burger, soft shell crab burger and salmon and soba was okay, nothing too much to rave about. The main lead of the chicken stew - chicken, was bland and felt like it was cooked separately rather than with the sauce. The rosemary in the sauce was also too overpowering.

The nitro tea and cold brew taste ok, with refreshing berries and pleasant chocolatey coffee notes respectively. However both were a tad too sweet. I have expected the latte to be better (from the reviews but those we had opposite the street after the failed first visit was way better). The worst was the nitro brew. It smelled and tasted like water in an ash tray - diluted and slightly burnt (yes I have tasted it before unfortunately), the ones from SB are honestly better.

However the service there is really good. Just wish the food and drinks were better (or I have not ordered the right stuffs)

Didn’t have a good experience in Hoshino coffee last time but went back because my friends wanted to. I think they are really short handed, it’s really hard to get the staff’s attention and we had to wait very long for everything. The chocolate lava cake is also not lava at all.

Good ambience, service is good, and food is not bad. Coffee is ok but have expected it to be better.

Heard a lot of good reviews regarding Greyhound in BKK but I think the food and service are both mediocre and not worth the price.
