Cafe Monochrome

➕️ Nice interior deco
➕️ Good service
➖️ Drinks were okay, nothing special but not bad either

Soft shell crab burger @ $24+
Comes with choice of fries - we chose wasabi mayo

The soft shell crab was a bit salty. The chilli crab sauce was not bad. Overall was ok, the egg in the burger alr burst when it was served.

The wasabi mayo was quite spicy.

Overall ok, but probably not worth $24.

Unagi kabayaki burger @ $24+
Comes with choice of fries - we got chilli crab

The unagi is tasty and overall it's good. The egg is always on the edge of bursting and it finally did halfway through.

Good but probably not worth $24 and seems like people come here more to take photos than to have the food.

🏷 $25

had a messy af experience trying to devour the burger but all’s good they still went into my tummy in the end 🤪 bun was well coated with butter, egg was as usual and with generous servings of greens ✨ top and bottom halves of the bun were also well topped with sizeable chunks of lobster meat! lobster-based paste and chunks tasted pretty bland to me tho 😕

taste of mentaiko sauce for mentaiko fries on the other hand was too overwhelming LOL i’m so picky but ya that’s my take on it 🙃 was busy picking out bare fries which were absolutely delicious and crispy!

- Osmanthus Sencha🍵

The brunch was quite filling, a tad too sweet cos of the maple syrup, sausage was good, good for sharing…

On the Aglio Olio, the pasta was al dente but overall it was a bit too oily and greasy…

As for the mentaiko fries, we find it quite salty…

The flat white was decent though, light to medium body with nutty finish…

Overall, a small cozy cafe for photo-taking, Instagram-worthy but food and drinks wise, so-so…

Damage: $53.50

Both pretty average. Portion was okay, didn’t feel full so if you wana have dessert after it’s still okay.

The bacon was very salty and the pasta tasteless so it was pretty balanced when eaten together.

The cream sauce on the the pasta was gritty from the parmesan powder and the egg definitely added an umami flavour to the sauce.

Would probably try the other pastas available but just not these two
