would come here for the drinks > food tbh!! the laksa mac and cheese (~sgd15++) although tasty and good came in a rly small portion with sadly 3-4 pieces of prawn so was q ex :-( the avocado toast (~sgd16++) used sourdough bread so that was nice. food was decent but the drinks were just 🥰😍💯🫶 got the matcha latte and it was super gao!! asked for less sweet but i think still a tad bit sweet so will get without sugar next time. anw this is a perfect place to study bc there’s no one even on the weekends and the music acoustic vibes just ❤️❤️❤️

what a cute place! it’s frequently visited by cyclists after the dinosaur park and has a family chill macs vibe :> i got the crabmeat pasta which had generous fillings of crabmeat smothered with a garlicky, slightly thin sauce, but i wish the pasta could be more al dente. my fam also tried the nasi lemak with chicken (~SGD9.90) and though it was expensive for a plate of nasi lemak, it was SO WORTH IT bc the chicken was flavourful, tender and huge 👍 most of the stuff here are

very honestly this is just my grandmother’s egg mayo sandwich plus the 7-11 tamago egg 🙃 $14+ fly 💸 the hello kombu tots (~SGD12+) though were pretty crisp and good and the sauces paired perfectly with them :-) i think this place is waaay too overpriced but i guess you’re paying for the cute vibes :>

i can’t believe this is my first kouign amann ($4.50~) experience……but omg it was heavenly!!! the croissant part was crisp, flaky and the sweetness of the ?sugar paired so well with it. it reminds me a bit of the big flat flaky biscuits in french bakeries (iykwim). we also got the almond croissant (~$6) with a sweetened almond paste inside and again the croissant was 🤌🤌 the bakes were waaay more filling than i had expected lol but very happy that it didn’t feel too greasy :-) i recommend sharing these goodies tho bc portions were q big and can get a bit jelat. otherwise service was commendable - the ppl were rly nice :-) my only qualm is that it’s rather pricey.

a lovely cafe find! it’s a pretty small space but the interior is super cute and pretty :’) i got the 𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐚 𝐨𝐫𝐳𝐨 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟐𝟏++) and it was so beautifully flavoured with HUGE and chunky prawns. the orzo had a similar texture to risotto but was cooked well and paired amazingly with the laksa sauce. it comes with some coconut ice cream, but i prefer the pasta without :-) we also shared 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟐++) which was crispy and fried well with a slight truffle taste - not the strongest but it’s there. overall it’s a very cozy, friendly cafe which was bustling with conversations - things i love 🥰

back at one of my fav cafes! got the burpple smoothie bowl deal with 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐥𝐤 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟒++) packed with many greens and antioxidants. sadly i didn’t taste much matcha but overall it was still a satisfying bowl and ingredients were generous :-) we also got the 𝐀𝐯𝐨 + 𝐞𝐠𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟔++) that was smothered with avocado and a hard boiled egg on top with (what i think is) cheese! so yumz :’) for drinks i changed mine to a 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟓++) and it was more bitter than i expected 😬 but definitely still gave me the caffeine kick!

brunch food cravings satisfied with this masterpiece 🤩 the 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟐𝟐++) consisted of 3 signature toasts available - avocado egg, salmon avocado and peanut butter,,,,and everything was so good i can’t decide on a favourite!!! ingredients were so fresh, generous and bread was so well made. this is actly meant for 2 but i guess it fills a hungry me 🤪 (i was rly stuffed after that though). overall a very delightful brunch that’s super worth the money esp aft burpple!! tried bits and pieces of other dishes and overall, everything is gooOood!!

i’ve always wanted to try this place and finally!! i had originally wanted to go to the marina branch but it was closed :-( anw vibes were still gr8! i got the 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧 + 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟐𝟎++) and my friend got the 𝐀𝐯𝐨 + 𝐞𝐠𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟔++). don’t be fooled by the seemingly small portion guys, the toasts were loaded with so much toppings & we were so full after that. quality is 💯 and quantity is 💯 - what more can we ask for?
