Cafes

Pretty cakes, pretty place 🏞️🍰 PS: The shop is also heavily influenced by My Neighbor Totoro

Charcoal Grilled Salmon ($18) 1-for-1 deal from Homeground Grill & Bar courtesy of Burpple Beyond! Also topped up $2 for black truffle salt to be paired with my steak. Lovely place for a dinner date with a wide selection of drinks and bar bites.

First time trying the insta-famous dessert from @brotherbird_coffeehouse! It has both the crisp of a usual doughnut and the chewy texture from a mochi. Topped with biscuit crumbs and the ice-cream, it was definitely a sweet treat to enjoy.

Otah-Otah e Olio ($16), Truffle Carrot Cake Sticks ($11) - There's just something about @jewelchangiairport that makes every trip there so enjoyable and this was no exception! Always a big fan of fusion dishes, though it can be both hits and misses. Really generous spread, worth a try especially if you are on @burpple 1-for-1, but do note that some of their signatures are excluded, which I will probably give it a try the next time!

Not sure if I can still taste eggs benedict the same way after trying this tbh! @hathawaydempsey interpretation of this brunch favourite was just *chef's kiss*

One thing you would notice is the sheer size of the dish, which makes it perfect for sharing. Instead of the usual toast or sourdough, they used a challah bread which was much thicker and filling.

They also subbed the usual smoked salmon slices with a smoked salmon mousse topped with black truffle and trout roe.

Surprisingly, my favourite part of the dish was the garnish which consisted of baby watercress, coriander and a mix of local leaves and roots. Love how fresh it was and how it complemented the flavours!

Can't remember when was the last time I had a meal in the CBD but this was probably one of the best deals I had on @burpple! Full house on a Saturday afternoon and had to settle for an outdoor seating, but the food was really all that matters. Loved the grilled portobello mushroom, which was sandwiched with house-made mayo, picked cucumber and caramelised onions.

Definitely nothing too nasty about these cookies! 2nd outlet and a much bigger space for @nastycookiee with drinks and merch available as well. Love the decor and aesthetics, but would have preferred the cookies to be slightly warmed up. PS soft serve was also not available at this outlet. Would have been a perfect pairing! The Iced Mocha was surprisingly impressive though. 🍪🍫

1-for-1 mains at Eleven Strands thanks to @burpple Beyond, featuring the Braised Beef Cheeks ($25) and Prawn Basil Pasta ($23).

Newly opened cafe around the Serangoon neighborhood with lots of Korean vibes. Love the space and decor, but the drinks and pastries left us craving for more! If only there were more on the menu cos it was pretty damn good. Especially the pecan croissant, drizzled with maple syrup. Came for the eclair, but it wasn't ready yet - will be back!

Fried Chicken Bowl & Cream Sauce Eggs from @fatposg - #throwback to this super satisfying meal after cycling around Punggol! Fried chicken leg was so juicy and tender + that piece of fried enoki was a real guilty pleashre. Love the ambience here and most of the dishes came with a fusion twist. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

Finally trying this signature pastry from @keongsaikbakery! This unique creation is an ode to the Majies (Chinese domestic helper) back in the days and is shaped like a hair bun. Love the crispy, buttery layers and the chocolate bits within complemented it really well.

Whole-wheat ciabatta with pulled pork, honey baked ham, pickled cucumber and jalapeño. This photo doesn't do justice to the amazing sandwich from @lowef.co! What a hidden gem nestled around Queen Street (Bras Basah MRT). The Lox & Cheese - Smoked Salmon w Cream Cheese (not in pic) was pretty damn good too. Can't wait to be back to try the other bakes and soup!
