Cafe Crema @Westgate

Posted on 11 September 2015 by lendeliz

We did a journey to the West today, after casting our vote for the future (or the next 5 years) of Singapore!

Did some shopping at JEM before heading over to Westgate for a bite.

In the end, Cafe Crema caught our eye, because we were in need of some good coffee!

Hubby ordered a Flat White ($6 inclusive of GST) and we shared the Big Bad Wolf ($16).

The Flat White was served in a huge cup! Smooth and slightly acidic, it was not bad. But there was no latte art, so hubby was a bit sad… How come we see so many pictures of coffee with latte art here? On hindsight, maybe we should have tried the signature Piccolo Latte.

The Big Bad Wolf was huge, and perfect for sharing. Use your hands and stuff everything into your mouth; the combination of breaded pork cutlet, smoked ham, crispy bacon, egg mayo, and buttered Brioche, was simply awesome. Taken apart, they don’t taste quite as good. The sandwich came with a side serving of chips (like those potato chips in a bag), and a salad with a slightly sweet but rather addictive dressing.

Note: Water is freely available at the side station.

Café Corridor @Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Very sad latte art

Very sad latte art

Our last stop today was to visit Café Corridor!

We were not too hopeful initially, as it was a rather small place, and during our previous visit, it was packed to the brim! Today, we got lucky, and at around 9:30pm, it was less than half full!

Hubby ordered a Flat White (HKD 38), while I settled for a fresh Grapefruit Juice (HKD 45). Note that coffee is only served hot here, and there is a minimum of one drink per person.

The waitress who brought us the drinks accidentally spilled a little of the coffee, making the already sad-looking latte art look even more sad… The coffee was just alright, and not really aromatic. I could taste the freshness of my grapefruit juice though! Happy that they didn’t add additional sugar syrup 🙂

The BetterField @Waterloo Street

Tupelo Honey Fig White Tea

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.

Secret Thai Chilli Chicken

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. 🙂

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…

Sunday Folks @Holland Village

Posted on 4 April 2015 by lendeliz

It was dessert time! We decided to try coming to Sunday Folks again, after a few failed attempts due to the super long queue. Despite being a Saturday, we managed to get seats within 5 minutes, yeah!!

Waffle with Ice Cream

We quickly decided on a Regular-sized Waffle, topped with Ice Cream (sea salt with gula melaka) ($11.80), and a Flat White ($5).

The coffee is quite acidic, but went well with the strong aromatic flavour. The soft serve ice cream was quite yummy! And strangely, it reminded me of this long chewy candy that mummy used to buy when we were young. The waffle was crispy with a soft interior, and hubby was very pleased with it.

Overall, a nice place for ice cream and waffles! 🙂 Now we are inspired to go to Phoon Huat next door to buy some ingredients to make our own waffles at home 🙂

The Loft Cafe @Chinatown

Coffee & Tea

Coffee & Tea

We were here for some drinks, after a rather full meal.

Ordered a White Ginger Pear Tea ($6.80++) and a Flat White ($5.80++). The tea had a light sweet taste, which was quite lovely, but the coffee was like plain water… And without latte art. Hubby was disappointed 😦

The sofa seats were quite comfortable, until the air-conditioning started to drip water… Sheesh. We also didn’t really understand why we had to pay service charge when we had to carry our own tray of drinks.. Haha!

I supposed it can be a nice place to people-watch if you pick the seats by the window, and there is free WiFi (ask the staff for password), so it’s not a bad place to hang out for a couple of hours.

Ollie Cafe @Orchard

Posted on 8 January 2015 by lendeliz

After a satisfying dinner, it was time for drinks! We decided to try out this small little cafe at Orchard Gateway. We were promptly seated and served with iced water, good service for a change!

Not a real carrot but a real cake

Not a real carrot but a real cake

I had the Chocolate Chip Chai ($6.80), while hubby had the Carrot Cake with Flat White set ($9.90, carrot cake/cheesecake/flourless chocolate cake with choice of coffee, 3pm to 9pm).

The tea smelt chocolatey but definitely tasted like a light Chai tea, haha! Hubby was quite satisfied with his flat white, despite the lack of beautiful latte art, as it was quite aromatic, smooth with a slight nutty taste. The cake was cute with a icing carrot right at the top, but the taste was so-so, we much preferred the drinks 🙂

The iced water was topped up regularly by the staff, which we really appreciated! This is a nice corner stop for tired shoppers to take a break and watch other busy shoppers busy by!

Loysel’s Toy @Bugis

Happy 2015!!

After a long stay at home (yeah been sick for @ very long time), we are finally out of the house again!

Nice Latte Art

Worst poached eggs ever

Worst poached eggs ever

Since I have to collect my new passport, we decided to have breakfast at the Bugis area 🙂 We heard that the coffee at Loysel’s Toy is pretty good, but the food is less so, hence we decided to share the Big L Breakfast ($17), a Strawberry Rhubarb Teacake ($3.30), while hubby has his Flat White ($4.50).

We had the worst poached eggs ever, where the first liquid that oozed out of the eggs were not runny, but uncooked egg white… Yucks! There were also not much egg yolk to speak off, making this really not value-for-money. The teacake was quite dry as well.

Luckily, the coffee was quite nice, as it was smooth and aromatic, hence the trip was not completely wasted. There were newspapers available, so we spent about an hour here, relaxing and catching up on the n ews.

Note: There was no GST or service charge included in the bill.
