I'm back! Starting early for this year.. Here's the first stop.. Ronin cafe, located near the party central of SG, it's in Clarke Quay.. What's on the list? Never leave without trying their Brioche French Toast with Stewed Pear, Crispy Bacon and Hazelnut Butter (with just the name, and how it looks, forgive me for I have sinned, it's a sweet, heavenly temptation). Another one is The Skinny Flat White. We'll, one thing's for sure, it doesn't make you skinny, but you'll love it. The Roast Beef Sandwich is also a must-try. The environment? Trust me, we forgot how long we stayed. I'll be coming back to try the the others! This is a yummy start to complete this journey. I have nvr regretted I tried it first.
