The Bravery

THE BRAVERY

Backed with yet another cafe that everyone has been raving about.

Well, all cafes are pretty much doing well I assume, with more and more people become one of those "cafe-hoppers" right? Hahahahaha.

-----

At a glance, this is what we ordered:

1. Lavender Latte ($5.80)

This is one of the more popular latte most people come for,

it was a little aromatic, perhaps due to the lavender on the top, I quite like floral tea myself, so this was a plus. Too bad, I am not really a fan of coffee, unless it's mocha >.<

However my friend said it was pretty normal and overrated,

GIve it a try, a cup won't harm right? :)

Next up, 2. Pancakes $15.00
This is pretty much a must-order here at The Bravery.
Needless to say, it really didn't disappoint me at all, the pancakes took a longer while to serve but it was good.
Fluffy and the portion was pretty manageable, I love how it is drizzled with maple and some honey!
yummz ^^
It's one of my favourite pancakes to-date! Love their presentation as well!
For the portion, the price is slightly steep, but it is definitely worth a try!
I love pancakes for breakfast don't you?!

3. Eggs on Toast + Salmon + Avocado ($8+5+2.50)

This is pretty much a mix-and-mix so all we had to do is to order Eggs on Toast & you can choose from the list of sides available to add into your toast!
I love wholegrain bread, don;t you?

So if you are over at Farrer Park/ Jalan Besar vicinity, be sure to pop by The Bravery.
It's only a few mins from the Window by the Windowsill cafe!
It's opposite the stadium, but the door (it's tinted with no obvious signboard to show where exactly The Bravery is, so keep your eyes open and look!) of this place is kinda hard to spot for first-timer!
Weekdays are perfect to come here cause it's much mroe quieter while weekends you might have to wait a while to get your seats!
Decoration was pretty rustic & old-school.
More cafes review up next~!!

Helloo folks, so sorry for the long hiatus!
Hope everyone is having their awesome weekend & fear not, more cafes post to come!
Been really busy & lazy to post..but you see hiatus means more cafes to explore right?
-----
Came to Group Therapy which is along the Duxton area!
There's a few cafes along the way which we saw including The Plain, Selfish Gene Cafe!
We even saw D.O.C, click here for my review!

Full house on a weekend~

Here's the menu!

See, I am already craving for this as I am typing, eggs are so yummy.

Sorry if you find this image gross, but I like my eggs gooey with toast & salmon. ^^ yumm

-----
Waffle with ice-cream ($12)

Did i mention I have started this weird cravings for waffles & pancakes lately?

If you notice, I have been going around tryna find that one perfect waffle/pancake place *_*y

So I will be hopping around cafes to find where my heart belongs!
---
It was pretty generous the scope of ice cream which is a plus point!
Cause many a times, cafes don' serve such a generous scope so I go really happy to see it! ^^
One full scoop of vanilla ice-cream that was enough for 2 to share!

& I like how they served it with one whole banana & 

Most cafes only gave slices of fruits on the side & they charge a much higher price at like $16 or more for waffles, which seems a little too overpriced imo, but this is different!

The waffle was thick , for the price I paid, this is really a worthy deal!! Really worht my $12!
Even the look of it is making me drool! Yummyy

Overall, it is a pretty good place for their food, considering that we only tried 2 off the menu!

It was reasonably priced & for the portion, I would say thumbs up!

Prices are nett with a minimal charge of GST!

There is 2 branches of GT!, definitely will head over to the katong branch one day!!

---

A place to chill, but definitely cafes being too overpopulated might be a little noisy at times, but oh well, consider our population versus the space we are living in rn, if you get what I mean!

Real Food

Real Food?

Heyyy there, so sorry for the hiatus there.

Been really lazy to update this space, but trust me lots of post coming up this weekend

Came over Real Food for lunch cause one of my colleague wanted to eat something healthy~

It is conveniently located at the basement of The Central @Clarke Quay Mrt Station.

Looked really clean with the 

$9.80 

4/4/14

The central b1-52

After contemplating between pastas/grains/sandwich...

Decided to go for the simplest:

Grilled Veggie Sandwich ($9.80) just because my colleagues had chosen the grains & pasta so i shall try something different as well!

Sneak peak of what's on the inside!! 

Here's the secret! It's basically somewhat vegetarian food..

Lots of colours ^^ which makes me feel really happy!

From tomato sauce to capciums to cucumbers to eggplants topped with mozzarella cheese 

Served with a side of fresh salad (there isn't any dressing, imo)

Pleasantly presented, this is definitely a light lunch so if you're feeling really hungry go for the pastas or grains instead! Although this sandwich cost less than $10, I felt that it can be cheaper, a lil expensive for a vegan sandwich! 

------

My colleagues ordered the Organic Fried Rice ($7.80) which was pretty yummy!

It is brown-rices with lotsa mini capcium, carrots and beans!

I like the idea of having brown rice, I mean it's pretty rare to have fried rice using brown rice right?

-----

Saw a handful of customers ordering the wanton soups! Smelled so delish to me! If you're planning to come over here, give it a try too! The mushrooms pasta are pretty normal in my opinion, nothing too fancy.

-----

The store is also a little mini-grocer where they sell various organic fruits/veg & 

there's even a section where there is sauces/ grains/ apple chips etc etc

A cozy place to chill but do bear in mind the lightning is little dim, so I don't advocate studying here!

Loving the idea of having something healthy to eat amidst all the fast-food/ fried food/food with gravy..

Will come over for a second try! Prices on the menu are nett priced!!:)

---

Sometimes, our body are crying out for us to eat cleaner!

Try it, or better still, start your day right, start from wholegrain!
I know how it's tempting to walk pass those neighbourhood bakery smeling the tuna/hotdog fresh from the oven, how damn hard it is to resist such yummy goodness, but do it anyway.

Walk right pass & get that loaf of wholemeal bread instead!

Cups & Canvas

Cups 'N' Canvas

& Good day to you , whoever you may be!
I am back with another cafe brunch today!
it's Cup & Canvas! Located along the lane where Kaplan is (opposite Selegie tau-huey area)

they even offer Art lessons for children and adults too! 

That explains why there is so many art paintings on the top shelves, there's even brushes at the corner of the room~

   

So here is what we ordered:

here is our drink!!

I am always excited to see the latte art~! guess which is mine!?

Yes, you're right, the bear!! it's Sweet Potato Latte ($4.80)

they look especially cute partly cause of the lavender color!

So happy drinking it awww, warms my throat

there is little bits of the sweet potato at the bottom of the cup, i love those!

   

Next up, the Mango Chicken Sandwitch ($10.90)

it comes with a side of salad too. 

Been ordering a lo of sandwich lately for my brunch eh hahahaha

yes I am an avid bread lover too, with a thing for eggs, but no there is only chicken here~

& this is the cross-section of the sandwich! 

I would say it is pretty refreshing to have the slight mango taste as the sauce.

It was not too heavy, more of a light fresh aftertaste!

I think it's pretty good, a good try for the adventurous seeker~!

opps forgot to take picture of the other main.
 my friend got her set lunch which is available on weekday from 12pm-2.30pm daily. (if i remember clearly)
It comes with a main, she ordered Sambal Fish with Olive & a cuppa of Latte for $10.90 only!
I've tried the fish, well the portion is pretty huge to begin with, generous amount of fishes!
hahahaah & it kind of taste a lot like the sweet and spicy thai kinda chili, one of my favouite sauce!
Sweet and not too spicy at the same time! The rice was healthy but doesn't have much taste so overall, a good deal to have if you're on tight budget or simply popping by for some quick fix!
it's nett price again! wheee :D

-----

Overall, this cafe is one that I will come back again.

The price of the food is pretty affordable & what better way to spend your afternoon with a good cuppa of drink & looking at the rustic tables and art pieces around~

I see students studying here as well, definitely a great way to lepak/mug with your friends here!

POTEATO - Sunday Brunch

POTEATO

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.
