The BetterField @Waterloo Street

The Better Field was tucked away at a relatively quiet corner and it was fairly crowded when we visited on a Sat evening.

We ordered a Flat White ($4.50), Tupelo Honey Fig White Tea by Tea Forté ($4), and a Secret Thai Chilli Chicken ($14.50) to share.

The 8 pieces of chicken drumlets were deep fried, with chili sauce and coriander leaves all over them. The overall effect was mildly spicy and I loved the taste of coriander! Unfortunately, I found some white hair / very long chicken feather in one of the drumlets, urgh!

The coffee was quite mild and not acidic, and it had a lovey aroma! I also loved the light fragrance of the tea, and the slightly sweet taste.

Overall, quite a nice and affordable place to chill out, especially when all items were nett price. We also read that there were some special off-the-menu drinks, but we were too full to try… Guess we gotta come back again 🙂

Rainbow Cottage Cafe @AMK

Flat White with no art

Flat White with no art

We were very excited to hear of a relatively new cafe opened in Ang Mo Kio, yeah! So today, we especially made reservations for dinner, after reading about the crowds in some reviews.

There were a grand total of 2 other people when we arrived :p But it was a weekday night, so perhaps that was the reason. It was good for us anyway, since we preferred a more quiet environment.

Deco was simple, but they have a small little children’s playground using the small slanted area beneath the staircase, which is complete with small kitchen so small kids can play act-kitchen while the adults indulge in the real food from the real kitchen. 🙂

The Clueless Goat @Goldhill Centre

We are not clueless!

We are not clueless!

We had thought about coming here for quite a while (it opened in Feb 2015), but somehow, we were always distracted by other food options in the area, and also a bit apprehensive if a cafe who calls itself clueless, has any clue about making good food and drinks? But here we were today!

This is a simple setup much like other cafes, with simple tables and chairs, ordering and payment at the counter, eat and go type of cafe. The interior is brightly lit and roomy enough to not give a ‘pressurizing’ feel. Overall a very homely feel and we enjoyed the ambience very much.

Our first thoughts were that the prices were very reasonable in this location, and there was no GST or service charge. Small wonder that it was fully packed!

Baker’s Well @East Coast Road

Cosy after dinner set

Cosy after dinner set

Since we were rarely in this region, so we thought of searching for a resting place after my disappointing dinner, and hubby was attracted by this little sign board that said “We used Yahava coffee beans here” and suddenly, I found myself in Baker’s Well 😛

Ordered a Flat White with Carrot Cake Set ($9.10, note the set is cake with Americano for $7.50 and top up the difference for upgrading of drink), and a Hot Lemongrass Drink ($3.20).

Oooh! The lemongrass drink was very fragrant! I think they overdid the sugar though, because it reminded me of sugarcane drink 😮 The coffee was aromatic but quite acidic.. A good complement to the cake.

This has gotta be the nicest version of carrot cake that I have ever tried; not overly sweet or moist, and is more dense than other versions. I loved the nutty-ness, and the cake was topped with 4 huge walnuts! Now I just want to try the rest of the cakes…

Roast Coffee @Thong Lor, Bangkok

Nice ambience!

Nice ambience!

We woke up early to go to Roast Coffee for breakfast! It was not difficult to find and we reached the place close to its opening hours so we could easily get a table for the 5 of us. The decoration was very chic and well-lit, with full-length glass windows and very high ceilings giving a very spacious interior.

Greyhound Cafe @Siam Center, Bangkok

Chic exterior

Chic exterior

We were finally cafe hopping and hubby had previously done some research, and it seemed like Greyhound Cafe was a good choice!

We had a little difficulty locating the cafe, as Siam Center as a shopping mall was rather big, and there was actually a fashion store by the same name (that’s the origin of the Greyhound name).

Anyway, the cafe was quite near the fashion store, and we immediately fell in love with the environment when we reached.

Black Canyon Coffee @Platinum Fashion Mall, Bangkok

Cafe Latte and Thai Iced Tea with Milk

Cafe Latte and Thai Iced Tea with Milk

While I shopped at the amazing Platinum Fashion Mall, poor hubby needed a place to rest his tired legs. We found Black Canyon Coffee at basement, conveniently located just beside the escalator at Zone 1, and there were actually 3 branches within the mall!

We had a Cafe Latte (THB75~S$3) and a Thai Iced Tea with Milk (THB65~S$2.50). The tea was great, and definitely a perk-me-up, since I managed another 2 hours of shopping after that 😛 The cafe latte was alright. Each order came with a free little muffin cup filled with small biscuits, which was a nice complement to the drinks. Hubby had a rather lovely time sinking deep into the sofa seats.  There were definitely more male customers than females, so perhaps a common waiting spot while the ladies go on a shopping spree 😛

Benjamin Browns Bristro & Bakery @Forum The Shopping Mall

Wagyu Beef Burger

Wagyu Beef Burger

Hubby redeemed a 1-for-1 voucher, so we came here for dinner! It was quite funny that when hubby called up to make reservations, they didn’t even ask for the name or contact details… Which seemed to suggest that there was not going to be a crowd.

Indeed, there was only another 2 customers when we arrived around 7pm. Very quickly, hubby ordered a Wagyu Beef Burger ($23++), while I could not resist ordering the Seafood Aglio Olio ($23++).

Seafood Aglio Olio

Seafood Aglio Olio

Got to say that the seafood was very fresh, and the linguine was cooked quite al-dente. However, this must be the most oily version of aglio olio that I have ever tried… There was a huge puddle of oil left after I had tossed and finished the pasta 😮

Hubby was very happy with his medium rare beef burger! The beef patty was thick and juicy, and the egg yolk was runny and yummy.

For the price, we thought that the portions were quite small, but since we had a 1-for-1, it was still quite worth it 🙂

[shifted] Les Pâtisseries Cafe @Toa Payoh

Posted on 10 February 2015 by lendeliz

Note: Les Pâtisseries has ceased operations at Toa Payoh and shifted to Upper Thomson.

Coffee and Tea

Coffee and Tea

It was dessert time! The Sugar app pointed us to this cafe, and I managed to get a pot of Contessa Grey Gryphon Tea for $1 (usual price $5.50) :p Being a bakery cafe, we decided to try the Torte Au Citron ($6 nett) and a Waffles with Summer Berries ($8.50). As usual, hubby had a hot Cafe Latte ($4.50).

Hubby felt that his latte was smooth and aromatic, with rather tame flavour… He liked that it was not too acidic.

The Contessa Grey was surprisingly light for a black tea, and had a slightly sweet citrus taste. The taste of eucalyptus was stronger than bergamot, but overall it was a lovely blend 🙂

Penny University @East Coast

Simple pleasures

Simple pleasures

I was in the east to visit a colleague, and so hubby decided to come over to the east for dinner 🙂 While I was having a blast at Ms L’s place, hubby endured a 1.5 hours bus ride 😮

Luckily, there was a cafe nearby, so we took a quick walk over to Penny University!

This place was rather popular when the cafe culture started in Singapore a while ago, but we never got around to come here. Simply because it’s in the East and we are very North people. Haha…

A very simple place with smooth lighting, and soft music. One thing good here is that there are newspapers and magazines lying around which also means that they expect you to nua here… 🙂
