Can’t believe it’s the second time seeing them move out of their premises — the first time from their former space as Prodigal Roasters when they were still at Blk 625 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 just a short distance away from Yio Chu Kang MRT Station, and now again from their premises at Blk 82 MacPherson Lane — this one being due to the location that the HDB estate that they are situated at being slated for en-bloc.
In line with their last weekend at MacPherson, they have brought back their iconic Grilled Cheese Toast that was introduced in their menu ever since they had made the move here — we were told that the Grilled Cheese Toast is best had with Lychee Bacon and Scrambled Eggs from the add-ons being opted so we just went with those too. Liked how the toast still tasted much consistent to what we have had previously when they had first opened their doors here — the cheese all stretchy for the cheese pull and being suitably savoury; the add-on of lychee bacon stuffed within gives it an additional contrast of savouriness typical of that of cured meat with a subtle sweetness — all that amidst the soft and fluffy, yet toasty milk toast that not only hints subtly of the fragrance of milk, but also crusty from being toasted. The creamy scrambled eggs makes it the perfect breakfast for those who are looking for something more substantial — runny, and comes with cracked pepper that antes up the overall flavour.
Hadn’t been back to this outlet as much as I should in the last year or two, and haven’t really given a lot of the items (pizzas or not) a try — but it’s definitely sad to see them go once again for a place that prides over their pizzas that they make from scratch (yes, even down to the dough) and comforting brunch fare, and also a spot that knows their coffee well. With the closure of their MacPherson outlet, they are also sharing a space with Gather The Misfits at Rangoon Road where they will still be dishing out their pizzas as a dinner-only offering with a slightly wider variety of pizzas as compared to their “Pizza Party” menu previously at MacPherson Lane — and I guess I will see them at their new digs pretty soon to check those out!
Thks fr the mmrs.
Prodigal Cafe is one of those places that I have recently skipped on quite a lot recently — one of those places that I used to visit on a weekly basis, but with them being closed on Sundays, it has also been one of those places which I have also found it difficult to plan for, considering it will have to be a Saturday if I were to drop by this nook in the MacPherson Lane estate.
Having revamped their menu fairly recently, Prodigal Cafe has since stopped serving up their previous menu — the famed Grilled Cheese Sandwich is also currently axed off in favour of a whole new Sourdough Pizza menu that is as good, if not even better than what they were serving up previously. Making their very own sourdough pizza crust from scratch, the Lychee Bacon was our choice during our recent visit — a pizza that featured elements such as Smoked Lychee and Bacon, Homemade Tomato Sauce, Buffolo Mozzarella, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Found the Lychee Bacon Pizza to be pretty much like a twist to the all familiar Hawaiian pizza that locals know and love — the ham seems to be effectively replaced by the bacon, while the lychee’s sweetness seemed to have replicated that of the zingy sweetness of pineapples in a typical Hawaiian pizza; the bacon also aptly savoury whilst being lightly smoky, with the melted cheese providing that additional cheesiness from the usual mozzarella found in Hawaiian pizzas. What really set their pizzas apart from the many others we have had over the years is the sourdough crust — brilliantly executed when it comes to the fluffiness and chewiness, yet beautifully blistered with charred marks from the baking process that also provides for the light crispness in the crust; simply a joy to have on its own, and forms a great base to any toppings that are subsequently added to it.
Prodigal Cafe/Roasters is a spot I have been following ever since they had opened their doors at Ang Mo Kio; had tried many iterations of the various items that they have to offer but their sourdough pizzas seems to be the best items that have came out of their kitchen of the late; it’s the best time to check them out if one hasn’t done so yet!
I love cheese!! :') the cheese was still stretchy (but somehow not hot). this portion is larger than the egg mayo but could get too heavy if you finish this all by yourself so it's good to share this!
I used to work near Tai Seng so I had the chance to go to Prodigal Cafe and try their Grilled Cheese. It was MASSIVE and it was chocked full of the ooey gooey cheese. Was really delicious and I even saved another half of it for lunch the next day!
Verdict: 8.5/10
Choice of thick Japanese toast or sourdough+1nett
The toast was slightly crispy, though the caramelised cheese was v good(no doubt there wasn't too much of it). Triple cheese were mozz, cheddar, red cheddar.
Despite the use of 2 kinds of cheddar the cheese were on the mild side, if very stretchy and filling. That's not to say it's not jelat tho, in fact due to its ridiculous portion, I couldnt even finish it(I've known as quite a bit eater and I came hungry).
Also there wasn't enough bell peppers and tomatoes to balance everything out, though to be fair I already got an extra portion of salad.
Probably best to share, not worth a trip(it's pretty far from the nearest MRT)
salmon + eggs + sourdough are perfect, so is the grilled cheese sandwich in the background and the ice white on the right. the cafe played jay chou and many other beautiful chinese songs today! what a happy Monday with Merissa.
Cheese aficionados look up! A melty trio of cheeses will satisfy your craving not only by taste but by the oh so satisfying stringy goodness when you pull the sandwich apart.
The cafe was quiet, staff was great and the ambience in a quaint HDB neighbourhood was really refreshing
It also helped that our favourite alferos pistachio gelato was sold by the cafes neighbouring Italian restaurant which we had after devouring the sandwiches
The staff is so nice, he added Smoked Salmon to give the plain Salad additional flavour.

🤔: Opted for the white toast and it was super fluffy and made for a great grilled cheese! Wish there were more of the toppings such as the arugula or cherry tomatoes as those helped to cut the greasiness of the grilled cheese, but still a pretty good snack! Definitely recommend sharing this as it can get a bit surfeit.
ずっと気になってたHDB内の隠れカフェ。
バスに1時間以上、約1時間半の道のり。
いつもは行けないそんな場所ですが、息子の園だけクリーニングでお休みだったので、息子と牛達の連れての#みど朝活隊 。
インスタで事前に気になっていたメニューの一部は、現在は提供していない(2ヶ月ごとにメニューを見直してるそうです)とのことでしたが、無問題。
Prodigal Grilled Cheese $12
Cream Cheese And Berry Comport $10
Magic (2 shots + milk) $6.5
3種類のチーズがたっぷり使われた厚切りトーストは間違いなし。
クリームチーズベリートーストは想像以上。
牛を3頭連れてきたファーマーが愛牛そっちのけで夢中になってました(笑)
ドリンクのオーダーは「スリーマジック」(笑)自分で言って笑ってしまった。
センスあるお友達がチアーズ風撮ってくれて嬉し(写真5枚目)。 HDBという場所柄か、特にフードメニューは格安。
ほんで美味いときたもんだ。
店内は決して広くはありませんが、窮屈な感じではなく、ベビーカーごと入れるし、ベビーチェアも完備。
お店の前はプレグラという子連れに嬉しいポイント付き。
また来たい。
だいぶ遠いけど(笑)
