Still one of our go-tos for a trusty and rich dark chocolate ice cream treat!

Their speciality 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐰𝐧 ($7.50; 3.5 ⭐️) was a gorgeous pink-orange-purple gradient drink when served that unfortunately did not last the takeaway journey. Definitely one for the aesthetics, we found our taste buds perplexed by the mix of strawberry coullis, orange juice, butterfly pea tea, and soda. Some mouthfuls were more predominant in strawberry while others tasted a bit like tonic water 😅 but nonetheless, we enjoyed this refreshing drink perfect for the hot weather.

Pastry + Drink
🍴Redeemed 1-1 pastry + drink with @burpple to enjoy on a picnic at ECP. At $6.50 each (without discount), their tarts are relatively affordable and worth a try! The crisp and thick pastry was just the right level of buttery goodness to pair with the delightful fillings.

Would recommend the 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 (4.5 ⭐️) that was an enjoyable mix of Japanese soy-milk flavoured mochi, red bean and Kinako. While it seems like an odd combination, the soft and chewy mochi paired well the crisp tart base. If nitpicking, we did feel that it could do with slightly more infusion of or dusting of Kinako to enhance the roasted soybean flavour. Black sesame lovers would also be excited to know they offer a black sesame mochi version!

The 𝐲𝐮𝐳𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 (3.5 ⭐️) was on the lighter, creamier side with mild refreshing tartness from the yuzu. As a fan of yuzu, personally would have preferred for richer tang and citrus flavour.

latte topped with Gula Jawa (sugar harvested from coconut palm) and decorated with a pandan leaf 🍃 love the ombré and it’s a huge cup for $7.50 iced! Not overwhelming sweet but tad too milky.

[ Pulat Hitam tart ]
Must have in a Peranakan cafe righttt. Personally the tart was bit too dry for me but does have a good amount of butter aroma. The black glutinous rice was pretty well done but the top of milk kinda overdid it abit. Not amazing but not too bad too😊

Now that it’s on @burpple it’s definitely more enticing to go over for a cafe chill out moment 💗 cos I really do like the space 💯

Interesting to have found mee hoon kueh on the cafe’s menu, but pity it didn’t really work out for us. You get to pick a spice level between 0-3 and we bought 2 bowls with Burpple Beyond, and tried both levels 1 and 2. Disappointed that our mee hoon kueh pieces were doughy in the centre and the sauce wasn’t very flavourful, leaning a tad bland from what we’re used to. While we enjoyed the huge portion of crispy fried egg, found it pricey for its toppings of mushrooms and fried anchovies.

There’s also a vegetarian version of this mee hoon kueh that’s served with broccoli, mushrooms and minced vegan meat at the same price. Burpple Beyond 1 for 1 is available here too for their all day breakfast, mains and meat-free menus!

served with house super salad, grapefruit & feta salad

a nice combi of diced, cheddar and cream cheese!🧀

and yes the bread is indeed soft! but because of the flour dusting on top, it was very dry and tasted kind of stale(?)😕

Tried the 88% Dark Chocolate and Affogato with 80% dark choc ice cream and Vanilla ice cream respectively.

Loved the 88% one with the dark choc ice cream but i think i'd get the 88% ice cream next time as it was still rather sweet..

My friend had the affogato and thought it was a bit too bitter for her liking heh. soo just get the affogato only if u rly like coffee!!!

Personally recommend getting the 88% with dark choc ice cream because it goes well tgt 😋😋😋

Hvala's cheapest ($5++) and easiest pure matcha drink. For those who do not like the bitterness of ceremonial grade matcha, this is a pretty good alternative - a slight tinge of sweetness at the start, and less bitterness at the end. :) Do drink it quickly because it is much nicer when hot!

This is an outlet exclusive flavour. The maple syrup gave the ice cream a faint sweetness, and provided a nice contrast to the slight bitterness in the matcha gelato. Interesting flavour although I would personally prefer the pure matcha gelato for its stronger tea flavour.

The restaurant, however, was a really pretty place to dine at. The furnishings were primarily white and brown, which gave a pretty soothing atmosphere to dine within as well. Note however that the cafe still has a 60-minute dine-in limit, although it does not apply if there are still empty tables around.
