White Ginger Lily Tea

White Ginger Lily Tea

It was a brunch meet up with my girlfriends, while hubby went for his latte fix elsewhere. It was my second time here!

Today, we shared an Arbite Breakfast ($17) and Apple Strudel Pancakes ($14), and I decided on a White Ginger Lily Tea ($6). For desserts, it was Gula Meleka Tiramisu ($8) and My Wife’s Chocolate Cake ($8).

The little one had some strawberry pancakes and  milkshake, but she was really more engrossed with the bottles of lego pieces available in the cafe 😀

Woo, the scrambled eggs and spicy sausage of the breakfast set really stood out! The pancakes were also fluffy and delicious, and we were 3 happy women. We could not quite taste the gula meleka in the tiramisu, but I preferred the light and fluffy tiramisu to the very chocolatey cake.

Luk Yu Teahouse & Restaurant @Chinatown Point

At the area for a Saturday morning meeting and decided to reward myself with some dim sum!

Being a rather hot day, we decided to try Luk Yu Teahouse & Restaurant at Chinatown Point, which is air-conditioned.

We have tried the Luk Yu Teahouse & Restaurant in Hong Kong but this is apparently not affiliated whatsoever with them. This one in Singapore is under the Swatow Seafood Group of restaurants (there’s another branch in ION).

The deco is distinctively oriental with waiters and waitresses wearing oriental uniforms. They were also quite upmarket with their own set of cutlery down to the sauce dispenser.

We made reservations for Sunday 9am… It was an early brunch 🙂 We had wanted to return here to try the food after a lovely night out previously.

We arrived at 9am sharp and were the first customers… And remained as the only customers for the next 30min or so. The kitchen only starts at 9.30am, so we had plenty of time to browse the menu.

Symmetry Cafe @Jalan Kubor

We had initially wanted to go to Artistry, but they had stopped serving coffee, so after a quick hunt for other still-open options, we ended up at Symmetry Cafe.

It looked more like a bar, but at least coffee was still being served 🙂 So hubby had a Cold Brew ($7) while I had a White Tea – Nymph of the Nile ($8).

While waiting for our drinks, we were served with a glass of grapes on crushed ice… Very pretty!

C.A.N Cafe @Upper Serangoon

Hanging menus!

We actually wanted to visit Lola Cafe near Kovan but it was filled with people and we didn’t want to wait an hour for seats. So we took a bus back towards Serangoon to look for another nearby cafe and when we got off, I spotted this C.A.N (Christa & Naomi) cafe that I recalled G recommending to me! Without hesitation, we walked straight into it.. Haha!

The very first thing that caught our attention was the very retro decorations! From old-fashioned ice-kacang (dessert made of shaved ice) machine and typewriters to license plates and street name signage, plus the cosy-looking seats, this looked like to great place to hang out!

Unfortunately, there were some minor renovation works on-going, so we were asked to sit at the front while they clear the mess at the back, so it was the comfy sofa with rather glaring sunlight for us.

Cafe Hopping series: Butter Studio @Jalan Besar

Cosy deco

Ok, we didn’t actually intended to continue with cafe hopping today… We actually wanted to have an early dinner and call it a day, because I was really super tired. After freshening up at City Square Mall and enjoying the cooling air-conditioning for a while, we decided to go to Swee Choon for dinner since it was just nearby.

So we started walking and walking, and when we finally arrived, we then realised that it only opens at 6pm… Silly us forgot to check the opening hours! With about 50 minutes to spare, we decided to hang around somewhere nearby, and chanced upon Butter Studio!

Concentration

Our next stop was a 20-minute walk away, which was good because at least we got to digest some of the food in our tummies 🙂

We walked along the small lanes, spent some time taking pictures with JY’s Polaroid camera… It was very hard work and I was so afraid of dropping the camera 😮 stressed! But fun! Haha! She took a really nice picture of us 🙂

Hubby was also pretty good at it, and of course, I was the half-past-six one, concentrating very hard on trying to focus without even thinking about the background, argh! I wasted film 😦 but JY was very encouraging lah… Hahaha!

Since we were already nearby at the Flee Away Cafe, we decided to drop by Rouse too! We couldn’t get a proper table, so ended up at the long table by the mirror wall. It was initially kind of strange to be staring at oneself so up close and personal, but very soon we were having a lot of fun taking selfies!!

Today we were going cafe hopping with Ms JY!

First stop was to Flee Away Cafe for brunch/lunch. Initially we were worried that it might be crowded, but our worries were unfounded – only another table was occupied when we arrived around 12:45pm.

We have heard so much about this ‘One Man’ that we must come! This is a specialty coffee concept store that that focuses on the art of the espresso and shares the space with Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar. It brews coffee and all-day breakfast until 5pm and hands the store over to Crust Pizza for them to serve up think-crust pizza. How cool is that?
