Best Cafes & Coffee in Singapore, 2019

.
A bright, vibrant, healthy salad bowl.
.
It contains a pretty plated mix of quinoa, orange zest pickled carrot strips, apple cider pickled red cabbage strips, fresh kale leaves, roasted pumpkin chunks, marinated goat cheese, a sous-vide egg, fresh avocado chunks, spiced pumpkin seeds, and a lemon wedge.
.
Mix it all together before enjoying. You'll get a complex layering of textures, crunchy juicy crispy tender soft; along with a vibrant burst of vegetal earthy sweet sour zesty fruity eggy flavours. Rather appetizing, and also good for sharing.

the balance of flavours is rly amazing! they r q generous w the salmon, and the saltiness of the salmon was neutralized by the pickled radish and zucchini. i usually pick out onions from my food but i made sure to finish every bit of them this time round bc they had this sweet, tangy taste and added a crunch to the toast!! thought the toast wouldn't b much but i ended up filling q full lol. the place had such a chill vibe and definitely going back to try their seed butter toast!

Ordered a hot matcha latte (U.P. $6.10) from
Jewel Coffee as there was a 1 for 1 drinks promotion from 3-5pm. Comes in one standard size like a Starbucks Grande.

The froth on top of the cup was dark green and very promising. Taste and fragrance of the matcha is quite strong - I enjoyed it. Matcha lovers would probably appreciate the strength, but my colleague likened it to grass.

However, I did find the latte too sweet after a couple of mouthfuls. The drink itself isn’t as dark green as the foam and more milky light green-ish. Would probably order again if there was 1 for 1 but with less sugar.

We really going to miss this homecooked HK food and the best French Toast in Singapore.
.
Hopefully, Mr Francis Mak does not rest for to long and making open another shop soon.

Thank you for the delicious food and the memories.

The overall dining experience was great as we were ushered to a nice cosy corner with vintage-looking sofa chairs to sit on and also served by a group of friendly service staffs. Food-wise, the hearty sandwich had a generous portion of fillings, with a delightful balance of tanginess, nuttiness and savouriness. Special mention goes out to their Thai Iced Tea, which comes in a form of frozen ice cubes with condensed & full cream milk.

3.5/5

Came after 2pm and the crowds are much lesser, we manage to get our seats within a few minutes.

It took awhile for they to serve my food but it was really good! Portion was huge and the pork cutlet was juicy and tender. The potato was huge actually!

It's said that the Greek honey tastes abit like chestnut. I don't know about that but it's definitely quite viscous and sweet, intense in flavour.

The greek yoghurt itself was of an extremely generous portion, probably enough to feed 3 or 4 pax. Luckily it's mixed with chopped mint for a bit of flavour.

The nuts and dried apricots do help a little bit with the texture and flavour of the yoghurt, however it can still get one dimensional after a while due to the portion and the honey wasn't enough even after I requested enough. Or maybe I have a sweet tooth lol

The ambience here was exactly like a bakehouse, decorated perfectly for a cozy dinner ☺️

All of us thought that the 4 spice Chicken liver pate ($12) was really something unique, great for sharing with 2 person.
The second best dish was the blue mussel and grilled prawn saffron-fennel risotto. Seafood was fresh and had the exotic flavors that we were looking for 😋
For some reason, the Beef Ragu pasta took them so long, around ~30mins, which was even longer than the fish, chicken and seafood risotto ☹️ Expected damage: ~$12-$23
Cafe Ambience: 5/5
Food Rating: 7/10

It satisfied me for the rest of the hour. Great coffee, great baristas, (thank you for encouraging me to not get a takeaway).
