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!

Department of Caffeine (D.O.C)

Hey folks, it's me again, finally gonna post some overdue cafe-hopping reviews
Alright so I popped by DOC a few weeks back, on a weekday~
I have started working so pardon me I will prolly update this space less often but fear not there will always be new cafes review ^^
It's located around Duxton Road, pretty easy to walk past this place without noticing the signboard which is practically almost black~

& yes, there will be Dinner Menu at D.O.C yayy 
FYI for those who are not aware, DOC used to served from only Morning to Evening so this is definitely a good news for the working adults to come here after their work!

I was pretty upset that they don't serve the Pulled Pork Burger which was strike off in the menu
they have a few items that was crossed out on the men, :(
So we decide to go with the usual~
So here is what we ordered:

First of all, the Caffe Mocha ($5.50), my friends ordered this & she said it was good.

Not a fan but I guess, looking at the latter art & the name of this cafe, they specialise in coffee.

Love those ceramic cups

-----

1. Smoked Salmon Scramble Egg ($15.50)

Salmon atop of a bed of scrambled egg on a toast and a side of romaine lettuce for salad.

It's was pretty okay, nothing too fancy. There was generous amount of scrambled eggs!

-----

2. Baked Beans & Sausage ($16.00)

This taste so familiar, their handmade baked beans taste a lot like the one I had at Drury Lane!

I can't decide which is better! But to be honest the toast they used was a little hard for me imo,

I'll prefer the whole-grained toast at Drury Lane hands down!

On a side note, DOC gave a really generous amount of baked beans---below the sunny side egg!

I love bake beans!!

baked beans!!

More beans (taste somewhat like tomato bolognese sauce too ^^)

Had 2 big sausages! whoopp it was pretty good! A little pepperish taste this is kind of similar to the ones I had at SPR MKT too!! hahaahaha 

cafe hopping gives you the occasional deja vu feeling 

like hey I think I ate this before (but of course presented in a different manner!)

Overall, I would say this is a good place to come, worth a try but I am really hoping for the pulled pork burger, but it's not in the menu anymore >.<

They have waffles too, heard that it's pretty good here, give it a try and let me know what you feel!

Might go back to try their waffles someday! ^^

Prices stated in the menu is the nett priced so y'all don't have to worry about the tax & service charge!!

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!

Craft Bakery & Cafe

Good Morning, here on a cafe hopping day once more!

Tryna to keep this space alive again~ well, hopefully I can maintain this hahahha

Hopped over to Holland Village for some brunch & we decided to go with Craft Bakery & Cafe for a try!

fyi: the lunch deal is only from 12-2pm!
There is outdoor seating as well~!

the menu

Eventually we all decided to have some sandwiches~

Since this place is called a bakery we thought that their niche should be the sandwiches 

-----
1. Mushroom Bacon Cheese ($12.30)
This is what I got:

so what's on the inside:

lotsa mushrooms, some bacons and chessy bits.

I love mushrooms!

The bread was pretty good too, crispy and a little hard too but it was heated a little so it wan't that bad

  -----

2. The Very Thick Toast ($9.20)
Basically this is what I call "what you see is what you get"
so there's mushrooms topped with an poached egg on a really thick toast..

I feel that this dish might be a little too plain, even though it might be just a toast, maybe they can add a side of salad to go along as well. 
Because the toast is so big, you might get a little boring after a few bites and considering how dry it might be after awhile~

-----

3. Super Dog ($12)
My first impression was why does the bun looked a little burnt :0
So there is sausage topped with bacon and eggs mayo in the bun~
hmm it was average not too bad either!
My friend was having braces and she said it might be a little hard for her to bite, it was okay for me though hahhha so no worries!  

The place is pretty spacious and definitely a place for big-group of friends to come here to chill
I like how there is also an outdoor saeting which is pretty shiok to sit especially on evening/night!

Overall, I would say it is a pretty average cafe, the food was pretty descent but not something I will crave for. 
Maybe their pastas might be better, heard some raving about their molten lava cake! 
Might come here for some sweets next time!

& Next we hopped over to 93 Degree Bean & Leaf for some sweets!
A place that looked like a really good place to study, lotsa leaffy green on the walls as well

the selection of cakes, brownies, macaroons~

the minis macaroons, which I didn't try~

After much contemplation, we decided to get the brownies with ice cream to share,

prices of the tea are almost a little too ridiculous in my opinion, for a cup of English Tea/ Earl Grey, it can goes up to about $7-ish for a cuppa  :(

Actually it is priced like Starbucks but no for tea, I don't usually order them if they are more than $5

----

so here is it, our vanilla & brownie!

Really chocolatyy, but luckily there is a corner where you can help yourself with water! :))

Once again, we felt that it was a little overpriced for this slice of brownie + ice cream.... meh

---

It was approx $11 for this below:

This place is more like a place to catch-up & a place to study.

Talking about conducive place to study I honestly felt this place is better for student to study than Starbucks, at east it wasn't that noisy...

you might want to pop over here for a mugging session, but the inside of the shop can get a little dark imo.

Just wanted to share a place I like for affordable Korean food around the CBD Area.

You probably would have know about this little store tucked in AXA building!

This is the place I was brought to for my first day of work!

If I am not wrong, the people behind this little eatery is by Koreans, yes not Singaporean well you do see Sg aunties but you can hear the Koreans speaking if you are sharp enough!

Bascially, the food range from $10-14 for each set!

Nomnomnomnom ^^

 

I like how neat the arrangement of the plates is, so effortessless and yet so clean.

So this is what I had: 

Beef Deopbap $12

A deopbap is somewhat like a bibimbap, so you can get to mix the plain rice below with the ingredients on top! Oh yes, do be careful the bowl is really hot a little like a hot bowl so you cna mix well!

There is also a few condiments on the side of the table: different sauces to put in & mix it real well!

Added my sweet sauce and here comes the mixing!! :D

I like the mini sides too! you can re-fill your kimchi if you can't get enough of it!

I like how they also give a slice of orange lol, but one is so little imo!

coming here usually means a failed diet day for me! hahaha I'll usually eat finish the entire rice finish hahahah I can be such a glutton!

Trust me, it's really a good place to have some authentic Korean food.

I came here quite a few times, tried their Ginseng Chicken as well, its good too! ^^

Okay but if you're a working adult $10 a meal for lunch might seem like a luxury, so I usually prefer eating this on midweek!

Give it a try and tell me which is your favourtite! :)
