Back with a new cafe just around Tanjong Pagar!
Came here for dinner after work! It was not exactly easy to find be sure to keep your eyes open for this red door!
I was pleasantly surprised that there is 2 level to this cafe, it was peaceful & nice,
definitely a place to chill/date ^^

they serve dessert too, but we were too full to try these~

& Level 2





Without further ado, this is what we had
-
-
Drumroll pleasee:


1. The Big 94 ($14.00/ nett)
you got it, it's nett price for this huge platter of beacon strips, mushrooms, (very generous portion) scrambled eggs, homemade baked beans and the hearty grained toast!!
The toast was also slightly heated to give it a crunchy bite


2. 94 Goes Green ($13.00/nett)
This is what I ordered! I love love whole-grained bread, & I paired it with sunny-side up eggs
Have advocado in exchange for the beacons strips, healthier choice!


-----

Overall, this is definitely a place I want to come back again.

The value and the price was pretty reasonable & the fact that it is nett priced is definitely a plus point!

The food was good too! Simple all-day breakfast but it's really a satisfying meal! Thumbs up!

I love the bread and the handmade baked beans, so good!
---

This place served one of the best and satisfying all day breakfast hand down, 

considering the price and the portion, you can really give this a try!!
Another awesome place for some all-day breakfast would definitely be the Toby's Estate!

Ravenousmee says thumbs up! :)

Back to the CBD Area,
It's quite comforting to know that there is still some quiet cafes out there waiting to be explored,
Don't we all need a peaceful place to rant our thoughts while enjoying the sumptuous food
without having the need to queue & dealing with noisy environment which I experienced with most cafes~

GO Green with Menus on the Chalkboard!

Pretty simple deco, that encompass both dinning & a kitchen ware shopping experience

Heard that this dessert is pretty popular, but we decide to have mains over sweets~

Here's what we had:

1. Sausages & Mash ($16)

had quite a hard time deciding what to get for my dinner, 

the Eggs Benedict, Breakfast Set and Wed Special Pork Burger caught my attention,

But I decide to go for something not too heavy so I got Sausages & Mash!

You can choose either Pork or Beef for the sausages~

Of course, I decided to get one of each.

---

I ate the salad first, which is pretty okay not too much dressing on the salad,

I like my salad light~

& I really gotta mention that their pork sausages was really flavorful! Really delicious!

As for the beef, it's good as well, but beef naturally tend to be more dry than pork.

so I would prefer the pork for being just the right moist level~

---

Mash potatoes below, was somewhat like a garlic & herb rendition, 

unexpectedly flavorful as well!

Loving this dish & it's not very heavy for dinner & the pork is one of the better sausuages I have ate~!

& Here's to the BEST TRUFFLE FRIES with Kelp ($12) !!!

It really has that truffle aroma & it wasn't too cheesy as compared to Lola's cafe's version!

For the same price, I will definitely go for this one instead~

Definitely not to be missed!

I am not even exaggerating, I saw some guy walked in alone, scrolling his smart phone (as usual), with just a basket of truffles fries in front of him just like that~

I think this is evidently enough how good it is~!!

YUMYUM~ I heart truffle fries!!

We heard it is also one of the popular dishes here that every one orders!

Which is pretty true, I do see a basket of fries at every table!!

-----

3. Eggs Royale ($17)

J got this, nothing could go wrong with eggs (mostly)

hehe, it was poached eggs with salmon cushioned with a bun below!

& Damn it was good! the salmon and the eggs and the bun complemented well.

The salmon was a little buttered so it was taste just right  if you eat them with the bun/salad!

(the picture does not do justice for the food!!)

there's just something about poached eggs, don't you agree?

& that's all for the night, what a place for some peace & yummy food~

-----

-----

Overall, it's not the cheapest meal you can find but it is definitely one of the must go places!

Really, it's ambiance and the comfort how how yummy simple food can be.

I will definitely come again, for the truffle fries!!

Well the mains are pretty up to standard too, it's worth the price we paid~

A place for couples or and small group of friends, if you prefer seating outdoor, there is a few tables as well~

One thing I felt they could change could be the doors,

it's not an automated door, so please be considerate when you come in the cafe, please also remember to close the door behind you as you come in okay!

If not the noise from the outside can really dampen the mood from the inside...

-----

A really good find for some quiet in the mist of the CBD area~!

Give it a try you'll know what I mean! ;D

Best part, it's inclusive of GST!! so what you see is what you pay.

Decided to come over here to try the highly raved tofu cheesecake myself.

It was pretty near where I worked at, finding this place was rather convenient.

The array of cakes they sold here...

   

oh they do sell brownie and tarts as well~

      

---       

Wanted to try this because the strawberry looked so goodd but we decided to try their "popular" cakes instead~ & how do we define popular? 

By looking at which has the least number of slices left!! Don't judge us!

   

   

   

It was a pretty small & cozy interior, with a few tables on the outside~

-----

So here is what we ordered:

   

An aerial & side view~

   

-----

1. Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake ($5.90/ Slice)

As we brought this cake back to our seat from the couter, it was wobbling like some agar agar (jelly) hahahaha

this is a definitely a much lighter rendition "cheesecake" cake for the healthy conscious people.

I know, how can cakes be healthy, what I meant is that at least, it's much lighter compared to the actual cheesecake~!

Initially, this cake was kinda blend to me & my J, 

No doubt they looked really foodporn-ish but it takes a few bite to actually like this stuff

---

It's has a really light taste, the first layer was a jelly & the strawberry, the red jelly does not have much flavour but I was really pleased when the strawberry was sweet!

The middle which I suppose is the Tofu part, was rather peculiar  It didn't taste like cheese but not anything like tofu too.

hahahaha ok hard to explain, you gotta try it, just a simple "cheese" like texture that melts in your mouth!

& of course, a layer of digestive biscuit....

I was hopping for a thicker layer of digestive below, since the it's a rather light cake imo.

Can get a little addictive eating this but it will still be my 2nd choice!

-----

-----

2. Dark Chocolate Banana Cake ($6.20/ Slice)

Was contemplating to get this cake or the hummingbird

But us being kiasu, we ended up buying the dark choc ince there was only 2 slices left!

---

Loving this cake! It's definitely a must try for choc lover!!

It's very moist and not too sweet.

There's a layer of dark choc mousse on the bottom , and the middle lawyer of cream with some chopped bananas! & it is frosted with dark choc ganche!

There is also some banana chops on the top which I find is a little out of place...

---

So you see it's really not too sweet with this dark choc combination. 

Best served with a cuppa of hot tea~

Totally can imagine a lazy afternoon slipping tea & eating this cake~ ooohhh ahhh

Pardon me if my picture below does not look anything close to being aesthetically yummy, 

choc lover you know what I mean right?!

-----

-----

Overall Verdict: 

Definitely a place I will come by again for a simple catch-up session with my friend(s).

Recommend this place for couples or even a mini group of up to 4 friends!

Will come back again to try the other cake flavors!!

Personally I prefer to sit outdoor because it can be a little awkward to sit inside cause the shopfloor quite small on the inside & a little too near to the counter where the staffs are.
