The Factory




it's TGIF! been having s serious craving for potluck but my friend didn't want to...
Oh well, so we head to The Factory, heard there is a variety dips for fries..
we walked from Serangoon MRT, if you don't like to walk I recommend you to take a bus, cause it's not exactly near, but I am fine with walking :)

What we ordered:



---
1. Tendoori Chicken Wrap $11.90
Decided to go for skinny fries with the curry mustard aioli
   
chicken wrapped in basil wrap..
seem to me that the wrap has been sort of fried/ grilled before serving.
cause usually wraps are dry but this has a little oily texture to it,
Well, I would say it wasn't what I was expecting, the chicken somehow taste like vegetarian chicken.
& I was hoping it will have a more bbq flavored/ teriyaki taste to it
 the chicken slices was generous no doubt~
the sauce was really curry curry, a little mustard aftertaste.
Not spicy at all, so you can try this even if you don't take chili

-----
2. Spaghetti with minced chicken $13.90

alongside with Spicy Tomato Chinchalok as the sauce, it's a little spicy and sour at the same time, 
lighter version of what I got, it can get a little too spicy for me awhile...
       
generous amount of spaghetti and sausages~
preferred this to my wrap! cause it kind of taste like the homely cooked spaghetti! (:
Simple and yummy
Heinz Ketchup!

It's nett priced and a really good place to chill out on a Friday,
It was surprisingly empty and spacious, we sat on a long bench, so it's definitely a place for big group to hang out. A place away from the noise & city!
Service was pretty good, the waitress was polite to us, there is a counter to fill water and napkins and sauce
the serving of the fries was pretty generous too ^^
I would say a place is better for their Ambiance > food.
If you are an adventure seeker, you can come over to taste the unique flavored dips!

But here's something to be honest, I felt that the entire shop was a little too bare and empty, looked really plain, I know the difference between simplicity and being plain.. So I'll suggest a little more deco and effort from them... like adding some designs on the wall just to have that cozier feeling. No doubt the entrance of the cafe look pretty enticing but it was a little bare on the inside~
& another thing, the sauce is something new to me, so I actually preferred the usual chili & ketchup more...I guess one reason could be the sauce are a little more heavier (like curry taste really too curry-ish and end up being a little dry imo )
Overall, okay definitely room for improvement, haven't tried their waffle or ice-cream yet, heard it's pretty popular there...

We hopped over back to Nex Mall for some Andersen!
& mine in pink ^^

Goodnight Folks.

SPR MKT





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.
