cafés 🍵

really wanted to try bagels so we popped by onalu at smu for a try! we got:
- b.e.c. (bacon egg cheese) $11
- honey lavender tea (iced) $4, +$0.50 for iced

(not in frame but he got these:
- something fishy $12
- hot choco $5)

for my first bagel try i think it was p decent! i liked the classic combination of bacon and scrambled eggs~ there was also quite a lot of bacon which surprised me! i chose cheese bagels which kind of ruined it tho… it made it taste rlly jelak 😭 think it would’ve been nicer with sesame bagels!

the honey lavender tea was a tad underwhelming (for me ah) but idk what i was expecting also… it just tastes like honey tea with a strong lavender taste lol but i imagine it would be good to drink while studying!

overall might come back when i’m in the area to try the sweet bagels next time!

- dandanmian 担担面
- dumplings (both cabbage and chives)
- meatball noodles
- not sure of the noodles on the big bowl lol
can’t remember the prices but they’re all def under $10!
my fav was def the dandanmian, the noodles were springy and chewy and the 料 was so flavourful 🤤 also stole some meatballs and they were SO GOOD, if they had a la carte meatballs i would def buy 10 of it. not rlly a dumplings person but the dumplings were rlly good!
a must buy if i pass by bugis 🐛

not sure if this buffet is still available??
forgot which ice cream flavours were in this pic but they have 4 flavours available:
- peanut butter mud pie
- mexican vanilla pod
- earl grey lavender
- artisan chocolate
i only had 2 plates bc the kroffles were so filling… ok it was good but the chocolate ice cream was toooo jelak, i had it for my second plate and literally felt like puking tbh 😭
service was rlly good tho, all the staff were q friendly!
