[CLOSED] The Forage Cafe (Summerview Hotel)

Smoked Salmon Waffle Sandwich & Turkey Ham & Cheese Waffle Sandwich

The food is AMAZING!! Compliments to the chef 👍🏻
The waffles are crispy yet soft, and the smoked salmon / turkey ham were delicious as well.
Sides: Truffle-flavoured mushroom ❤️
Apple and garden salad (with ofc, japanese sesame sauce)

This meal was super filling for breakfast, considering the large portion of the waffle sandwich :)

The only downside of the experience - service was a bit lacking seeing that only a part-timer was there. They seemed inexperienced and unsure of what to do.

Food: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ambience: Ok
Service: ~

Total Paid + GST: $22.45

We first tried forage cafe's buttermilk waffle dishes at their original outlet at jalan pari burong a few years ago and WE WERE SOLD. They're the best buttermilk waffles we have eaten so far and we were quite glad that the quality of the dishes were the same at this new outlet. Ambience wise, the original outlet is definitely better but we would gladly trade that for the convenience of this outlet :)

Being a honey themed cafe, most of their dishes are served with their multifloral honey, including their waffle dishes, which you can drizzle the honey on! Their waffles are crispy on the outside, really chewy on the inside, and buttery much. With savoury smoked salmon, egg mayo and cheese as the filling, every bite will leave you wanting for more! You'll be served a side of truffle mushrooms and salad as well. This is a must order dish every time we visit forage cafe. Highly recommend! 👍👍👍

As part of Forage Cafe's second anniversary celebrations, the cafe launched a series of special set meals for $16++! Top up an additional $3.50++ and you can get one of the cafe's signature honey drinks, which are usually priced at around $8++! This offer is too good to pass, and we decided to use the chance to try out one of the cafe's honey series drinks - the Wild Milky Way!

The base for the drink is da hong Pao milk tea, and honey, as well as herbal jelly, are added as complements. It was a refreshing drink to complement our savoury waffle dishes, and there is the distinctive taste of honey in the drink, which was a pretty interesting pairing with milk tea. Our only complaint is that the drink was overly sweet at the start, and we waited for the ice to melt a little. 😅

Do try the Honey Series if you are up for a cold beverage with honey!

As part of The Forage Cafe's second anniversary celebrations, the cafe launched a series of special set meals, one of which comes with fried chicken waffles! The waffle for the dish is more tender than their standard buttermilk waffles, although it is not served with the cafe's signature honey drizzles! The waffle contains a big piece of crispy fried chicken served piping hot, and it is covered with a pretty generous serving of honey mustard sauce, which added quite a bit of sweetness to it! Our main complaint is that this waffle seems to be slightly smaller than their usual savoury waffle dishes, although it's still a pretty interesting addition to the collection of dishes that the cafe serves.

Do give their special set a try if you are up for it, because you will get to enjoy a free serving of truffle fries (worth $12++) if you get it!

Tried the cheesy ham and truffle mushoom pasta and the granchio pasta.

The -cheesy ham and truffle mushroom pasta- is rly rly cheesy! Even though it got a lil jelak towards the end (as most cheesy items do) the richness of the pasta is something you cant undermine. You can actually see the cheese pull tooo. Will rate 8/10!

As for the granchio, its alright but not the best. Seafood taste isnt v prominent :( Would rate a 6.5/10.

Overall paid ~$26 for 2 pastas with their 1 for 1 promo :)

Buttermilk waffles were crisp outside, soft and fluffy inside and went so well with the melted cheddar + mozzarella and ham. Drizzle the honey on top and I got that sweet & savoury combo that I adore. Truffle mushrooms and salad with goma dressing on the side were good too. Didn’t expect to like this so much actually.

Will come back again.
