Beautiful morning
It has been a while since we last came here, and hubby was very pleased that the Latte ($5.50 for large) was still as good as ever; the number one coffee for him!
I tried the Hot Chocolate (also $5.50 for large) and rather enjoyed the thick and slightly bitter taste.
Unfortunately, the Earl Grey Tea Cake ($6) tasted like any ordinary cake, and we could not make out any tea flavour 😦
Oh well, but at least it tasted quite good with the caramel sauce.

Luxe originates from Sydney, Australia and this is their first overseas restaurant-bar, serving contemporary Australian cuisine with a Southeast Asian twist.
So we ordered:
This was quite a nice place to chill out and we had a lovely time here 🙂

Waffle with Red Velvet Cream Cheese Ice Cream
Waffle for lunch, anyone?
We came to check out this place, as it was in G’s Wunderlist of places with potential good food, and because the Sugar app pointed out this place 😛
A simple little cafe, with baby breaths and forget-me-nots decorating every table, lifting our moods up 🙂
We had a Flat White ($4), and a Waffle with Red Velvet Cream Cheese Ice Cream ($6.80 + $0.50 for premium scoop). Iced water is freely available.
The ice cream was smooth and delicious! The waffle was more disappointing, as it was neither crispy nor fluffy, with some bits slightly under-cooked. Also, they had forgotten our request for the maple syrup to be by the side 😦 The coffee was alright.
As we chilled here for the next hour or so, we saw quite a few customers coming by for ice cream, so looks like ice cream is the main draw here. Gotta try the orh nee ice cream next time!

Koo Cai Kueh
We were looking for nibbles and recalled that we didn’t quite manage to eat here the last round, as everything was sold out! Since we were quite early today, we decided to try! And erm, we were told that it would be a 30 minute wait because all they were still making the kuehs!
Actually, it was a 20 minute wait, because we saw a queue suddenly forming. The stall people recognised hubby and quickly gave him the food! And so we had Soon Kueh ($0.90 for the turnip version, and $1.10 for the bamboo shoot version), Koo Cai Kueh ($0.80), and Orh Kueh, aka Yam Cake ($1.10).
Hubby actually wanted to try the bamboo shoot version of soon kueh, but unfortunately, they took the incorrect order. However, the slightly spicy turnip version was also very good! We loved the chewy texture of the skins for all the kuehs, and with the fillings still warm and fragrant, we wiped out all the kuehs within minutes!

We ordered a Coffee Pork Ribs 咖啡排骨肉 (OCBC offer 50% off $6.45++), Pork Belly with Tofu in Claypot 回锅肉豆腐 ($12.90++), Water Goby with Fresh Apple Soup 苹果炖生鱼汤 ($19.90++), Australian Lettuce with Fermented Beancurd 腐乳炒油麦菜 ($9.90++), white rice ($1.20++ per bowl), and warm water ($0.30++).
Iced Latte
We chanced upon the House of Taste and figured that we could use a drink!
Alas, they had ran out of cranberry juice, so we had an Iced Latte ($6.50) instead. It was a lovely cold, strong, and large cup of coffee that made hubby a happy man 🙂
The wood decorations and the lovely music also made this little cafe a nice place to chill out. Note that alcohol is served from 5pm onwards.

Truffle Mushroom Risotto
Cheddar Cheese Danish Honey Toast
There were so many restaurants and cafe at the new Capitol Piazza and we thought Dazzling Cafe looked quite promising with the huge crowd. We were lucky that there was still a table for 2, and were ushered in, ahead of the larger groups who were still waiting for a table.
It was when we were seated that we realised that everyone seemed to be here for the toast 😛 But, first, a proper dinner for us 🙂
Woodshed Waffle
We had some time to kill before Father’s Day dinner so we wander around on FourSquare and Sugar, and landed up in Rangoon Road. This cafe is right at the end of the road, and we could easily have missed it.
The interior decor is simple but there are lots of space around since the tables were sparsely placed. That gave diners privacy and we could see some were just studying and some were reading.
Ordered a Woodshed Waffle, Iced Latte and a pot of Tea to wither our time away… Waflle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Latte and tea were the usual stuff. We liked the serenity of the place, with soft lighting, soothing music and lots of space, both in mind and body…

Waffle with Salted Caramel Ice Cream
G has recently shared his Wunderlist of to-try-food with us, and now, we don’t need to Google so much to find food to eat 😛
Anyway, we decided to come to The Workbench because we saw that waffles are sold here! So we had…
Prices are nett, so very reasonable. Water is free and self-service. We will come back for the waffles 🙂
