Toby Estate Singapore



Back with another awesome cafe that I want to share with you guys!
Really love this place, really peaceful and quiet compared to town area etc.
I mean especially on a Friday, where everyone just goes like TGIF dinner date with their friends...
Where you gotta queue and eat in a noisy environment.

Well, here is it:


Okay honestly, I was like oh okay so here is it & I was wondering why it was so empty
& thinking to myself cause it's probably not 7pm yet~

the view where we sat, looking through the glass window~
   
they serve all day breakfast & took us awhile before deciding what to get...
eggs bene/ eggs royale/ french toast/ toby grandola...
 
the wall where they sell their coffees and tea and even some mugs and t-shirts~

----
So here is what we ordered:
First up: Toby's Breakfast $18.50

you can choose either poached or scrambled eggs, decided to go on scrambled eggs.
Quite a generous portion of eggs/ bacon stripes/ tomatoes/ sauteed mushrooms/ a slice of brioche!
I love the little herb that is swirling on top of the eggs! idk what that is but sure is rlly flavorful!
I was honestly feeling quite full after eating half the portion! the bacon was a little tad salty
but for the generous portion it's really reasonably priced!! Thumbs up!
-----
Next, D ordered Eggs Royale $16.50
It looked really exquisite, like how there is a yellow veil across the smoked salmon don't you agree?!
the presentation of it looked really interesting too!
If you're someone who digs at poached eggs give this a try!
not too heavy just the right amount to make you feel full!
look it's so yummy the salmon with the eggs~
I am really starting to fall for these salmon + poached eggs combo~
If you have read my blog post previously on SPR MKT cafe, I have blogged about another Eggs Royale which is really yummy too.
presentation wise, Toby win hands down, taste is quite similar but their choice of bread/bun is different!! Both of them is really worth a try!!
Trust me! ;)
-----
how it looked when we left... yes it's really good place for some h2h talk/ dates or simply a place to have your own serenity while enjoying a cuppa of coffee or food 
-----
Overall verdict:
Highly recommended foodie by yours truly~
really I mean they serve all day breakfast plus you don't have to worry about being in a too nosiy environment and long waiting queue~
their food was pretty good too! I know they are famous for their coffees but it was about 7pm & I didn't want to have a sleepless night so I didn't try it but I am sure it's one of the reason why many coffee-goers come here!
& it's nett priced again!!! whee what you see is what you pay!!
Not the most convenient place but definitely worth the time to search for!
It is definitely a hidden gem not to be missed~
-----
& we walked around after that~
What a pretty view, I guess that's the idea with December.
Lotsa of pretty lightning around Sg // they should do this all year round.
I know, it's wasting electricity~

POTEATO - Sunday Brunch



Went over to the famous Yong Siak Street Area for some brunch!
the convenience of having a car~
---
There was quite a few cafe over that little lane
Including Fourty Hands & Social Haus 
But we decided to go for this because it is less crowded & seem to be more affordable than the rest?
in case you are wondering, it's right at the corner beside Fourty Hands Cafe 
There are a few tables on the outside as well~


The Interior when you first step in, I like how it is mostly tiled w bricks & that rustic look from the walls.
---
View from the counter, it's a self-service concept.
 You decide what you are gonna eat > make payment > take your cutlery/ peppers/ sauces/ water from the little station (on the left-side of the pic below)
who doesn't love potatoes?!
The extensive types of potatoess!!!
 Brunch Menu~

---
What we ate at a glance:
-----
1. Tofu Potato Cakes ($14.00)
---
it's 2 palm sized golden ball of fried potato + tofu!
if you like fried food you can choose this, serving portion not very big but just nice for the not so hungry people~
It's also served with a small side of avocados and some cherry tomatoes
---

a side of tomatoes & avocados~

2. All American ($16.00)
---
I ordered this, cause I was rlly hungryyyy
I know, it's the usual big breakfast kinda food but I enjoy eating these simple food on a weekend~
Just the right amount of carbs/ protein/ some minereals i guess from the shroom~
Look it's 2 sunny side up~
& of course some diced potatoes!
i like the shrooms & bread though, bread is below the eggs~


-----
Ambience is good, not too noisy & it wasn't really packed...
Good for family/ group of 4 friends to get together!
--
 However, I must say the wait for the food is honestly a tad too slow,
I mean it wasn't food house so I really don;t know what took so long for them to prepare it...
My All American was served like after 40 minutes after I ordered?
It came much later than the tofu cakes :(
Hopefully they can be more efficient next time~
-----

Verdict: 
It's pretty okay, I mena i really liked the idea of potato but meh 
Not exactly good good (the food) but it's not too bad either considering the presentation & ambience which is pretty good, not too crowded
but not the waiting time....a little disappointed on that~ 
Well maybe next time,  I will try their side dish (potatoes fries etc) 
On a side note I do like their rendition of potatoes + tofu combination, which is pretty new.

ARBITE

Saturday Brunch:


Pancakes x Eggs Benedict [x2]
---------

The pancake was really soft & fluffy,
& if you are a banana lover you love this!
Topped with maple syrup all over,with banana chucks slapped in between the pancakes with some berries
--------

Eggs Benedict was well poached and nicely arranged.
But personally I felt that my hollandise sauce was a little too much for my liking,
A little sour in my opinion.
--------

Arbite is located at the heart of Serangoon Garden,
Level 2, quite a cozy place for a early brunch!
Heard much raving about the Arbite Breakfast, but have yet to try that.
Price ranges a little more pricey, but they do provide good service! 
A good place to chill & what's more Chomp Chomp is just round the corner!
