For our mains, we decided to try out the panko chicken sandwich as it sounded like a really unique dish! The sandwich were basically two slices of toasted ciabatta bread, which actually resembled baguettes. The bread was actually pretty tough so this dish does require some effort (and strong teeth) to eat.

The mainstay of the dish was the breaded chicken cutlet sandwiched between the two slices of bread! It was really thick and it was very crispy - you can definitely hear the crunch each time you take a bite! The chicken cutlet was breaded with panko, together with a small amount of cheese and paprika although we couldn't really taste either of these. The sandwich also includes lettuce and tomatoes! Overall, it was a great dish and the sandwich was pretty filling; it was much larger than it looks in the photo!

We were pretty impressed by the lower-than-average prices at The Clueless Goat as well! The sandwich costs only $9.80 and we were surprised that we could get such a yummy dish at a cafe near town at such prices. Little wonder that they are so popular! 😁

We chanced upon The Clueless Goat, which is a quaint cafe with a cosy interior that is located in Novena! If you are planning to visit the cafe for breakfast or brunch, do be prepared to go early because the cafe is popular for its lower-than-average prices and its decent food. We visited on a Thursday morning and the cafe was full a short while after it's opening!

For dessert, we ordered a mint chocolate brownie and it was a dish that was served cold! The dessert comprised two layers of chocolate-based cake that sandwiched a layer of mint-flavoured cream. The chocolate layers were not overly sweet and the mint flavour was definitely pronounced. However, we felt that the dessert was a bit heavy even when we shared it between the two of us. Hence, we would strongly recommend not to try this alone as it can get very gelat. Decent dessert for $7!

We came to Dal Komm at Centrepoint for a quick treat and we were pleased to find that it was pretty empty for dinner on a weekday! This particular outlet is really large and has many, many seats so it is really a great place to have a conversation over coffee. 😁

We decided to try out the affogato because at $7.50, it was pretty affordable (and also one of the cheaper affogatos around). The dessert was served with a really big scoop of vanilla ice cream together with a shot of espresso. The vanilla ice cream was generous to the point where the espresso was not enough to cover/melt it completely. Hence, you definitely get to savour some vanilla ice cream on its own. 😁 The espresso was decently strong although it wasn't as powerful as some of the espressos served at other cafes!

Highly recommend the affogato at Dal Komm if you want both a drink and a dessert at the same time!

As tacos are not sufficiently filling for us, we decided to order burritos and The Gringo caught our eyes due to its unique name! This dish is a chicken-based tortilla wrap with marinated chicken, cilantro rice, black beans, pico de Gallo and cheese! The chicken was slightly spicy and added some flavour to the burrito and we liked it! However, the flavour of the chicken and black beans basically overwhelmed the tastes of the other items, as we did not taste any cheese in the wrap.

We also liked the fact that the burritos here were wrapped very tightly and served in a separate paper wrap, which made the dish really convenient to eat. Conversely, we would have created a huge mess out of the burritos served at many other restaurants!

The serving size was pretty generous, however, and we were completely full after finish the burrito. It was way more filling than it looks! The burrito costs $15++, which is pretty standard for restaurant-grade Mexican fare in Singapore and you can be sure that you will get a food coma from this. 😁

We wanted to try out Papi's Tacos as we heard good reviews about their Mexican food! Indeed, the restaurant was fully booked even on a Monday evening and we could only dine for 90 minutes. Hence, be sure to make a reservation beforehand.

For starters, we ordered tortilla chips that came with a guacamole dip. The tortilla chips were decent, but we felt that the avocado post tasted pretty uneven - some parts were almost tasteless whereas other parts were a little too salty!

Nonetheless, it was a pretty decent dish for sharing amongst 2 to 3 pax and it was priced very reasonably at $8++ as well!

How could we visit Thus Coffee without trying out their filter coffees! The cafe roasts their beans in-house and today, they were serving an Ethiopian blend for their filter coffee. The coffee was served piping hot and it tasted slightly sour at the start, although it seemed to have a little more fruity aftertaste when it has cooled down and we were near the bottom of the cup. Pretty interesting and definitely heartwarming to have this on a rainy day!

We have heard a lot about Thus Coffee but given it's slightly-inconvenient location at the Sembawang Hills area, it was hard to find a chance to visit! We finally had the chance to head down today and we were pretty impressed by it's quaint and cosy interior. Even though it was a rainy weekday afternoon, the cafe was surprisingly still pretty crowded!

We got a crowd favourite for lunch - the prawn aglio olio! The dish uses linguine and a really generous amount of garlic, coupled with mushrooms, (pretty big) prawns and a decent serving of cut chillies. Pasta texture was just right and it wasn't too hard or too soggy, although we thought that the serving was a little small for the $19++ paid for this dish. The prawns were big, although we suspect that they were of the frozen variety, although this is small matter to us. The dish wasn't that spicy but if you are unable to take spicy food, you might want to tell the staff to reduce the spice level even further!

We were in the Sembawang Hills area for lunch today and we chanced upon Ice Cream Chefs, which we decided to try for dessert. The cafe had some interesting flavours, including Yuzu Lemon, Kaya Toast and Milo flavours, but we decided to go for something safer - Kyoto Hojicha! This is considered a premium flavour, so you have to pay a dollar more and it costs $4.50!

Unfortunately, we thought the hojicha flavour wasn't nice at all compared to the hojicha scoops served at many other ice cream parlours outside! The taste of hojicha was pretty light and there was this somewhat artificial aftertaste that we are unable to describe, that made the scoop pretty strange.

Heard some great reviews about the other flavours and we might try those instead if we decide to come here again in future!

We decided to order a fish dish and as we wanted something with gravy, we went with the crispy Barramundi with red curry! The dish is especially great for sharing as the serving size was pretty generous - it is probably more than enough to feed 5 persons. The fish itself was deep-fried; exterior was pretty crispy and the restaurant was kind enough to separate the meat from the bones so that everyone has an easier time. That being said, there is still some meat stuck to the bones so you can scrape them out if you decide you haven't had enough of the Barramundi!

The gravy was thickened with coconut milk and it was a pretty thick paste as a result; it was also prepared asam-style so it was spicy and yet somewhat sour at the same time, hence this is something to bear in mind before you order the dish. If you are ordering white rice, it goes pretty well with the gravy too!

The dish costs $38++, which is pretty much a steal given the serving size of the dish! Definitely worth a try 😁

We ended our meal at Enjoy Eating House with a bowl of orh nee! The yam paste served here was actually thicker-than-average and it comes with a dose of gingko nuts. However, we felt that the paste could have been more flavourful, although the upside of this is that the orh nee here is probably slightly healthier than that at many other restaurants! Pretty decent for $5++ although it was rather heavy for one person to finish the entire bowl; might have been better to share this instead.

For our second dessert, we ordered the ice cream cookie with a scoop of sea salt butterscotch ice cream (pardon the slightly-deformed look). The ice cream scoop was lightly salted and although we thought the butterscotch flavour was a little too light! Overall, we would have preferred if the flavour was stronger!

Each ice cream cookie costs $8++, so it is actually very worth it to use Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 deals. Remember to use them if you have it!

We used our Burpple Beyond one-for-one deals to enjoy two ice cream cookies for the price of one! The cookies were basically chocolate-flavoured biscuits, although don't expect them to be crisp since they are sandwiching a scoop of ice cream.

For our ice cream flavours, we ordered the 80% dark chocolate flavour, which was indeed pretty bitter as it's name suggested. Definitely not for those who prefer milk chocolate but for dark chocolate lovers, it's definitely worth a try! The Dark Gallery was fairly crowded right after lunch hour on a weekday, so it might be easier to get a table if you go for early lunch.
