Oozy lava cake and decent mochi.
The staff provided a candle for us to celebrate my friend’s birthday! Food for thought has a lot of natural light and is a very comfortable place to chill especially after viewing the exhibits!
3.75⭐ Since we are visiting the National Museum, might as well dine at Food For Thought. I made reservation through the mastercard one dines free website. I called and confirm that it's 50% off for 2nd diner after the not so pleasant experience at BTM Mussels & Bar. I had salmon quinoa, it's healthy and tasty. WB had the aglio olio, it's slightly oily but it's spicy so suits his taste bud.

I almost live for days like these - a weekday afternoon with mum over tea treats. These are especially precious after I transition to the working live 2.5 years ago.
To strategically chart a good tea experience, the palate craved golden scones that kindled recollection of our time together in the UK. While the internet touted FFT’s as one of the best in Singapore, they were good yet half the mark of what we remembered from its English mother land.
Separately the sesame lava cake was what I’d term a fusion take on a classic sweet treat, it came with a flowing sesame paste center (see pictorial evidence 😂). The outsourced vanilla scoop was saccharine but the soft lava cake was quite a dessert when paired with tea/coffee without sugar.

FFT’s family set can be ordered from their oddle page. It features a hefty portion of meats! The roast spring chicken was slightly dry but tasty and stuffed with herbs. The grilled salmon was flavourful and moist. The BBQ ribs were really tender and doused with sauce! This makes for a really hearty meal at home.
The garden city linguine (16++) came as part of the family set which you can order on FFT’s oddle page. This was surprisingly delightful - a medley of roasted vegetables tossed in a tangy tomato sauce. It was a definite crowd favourite!
Grilled salmon with rainbow quinoa ($23++)
Comes with quinoa, corn, edamame, Cucumber, cherry tomato, purple cabbage. Didnt see any pomegranate. The base tastes bland. Grilled salmon was okay, flesh was still chunky and slightly moist. Didnt really like the dressing, luckily it was separate.
Fried chicken wings ($9++)
Fried chicken wings came with kaffir lime mayo or sambal mayo. Chose the former. Overall also underwhelming and price is expensive for the portion and taste.
Mantou n dips ($9++)
6 small fried mantous with chilli crab sauce, kaya and salted egg sauce. The chilli crab sauce tasted like sambal chilli. Both the chilli crab sauce and salted egg sauce did not go well with the mantou. Only the kaya (nothing special) went with the mantou. Overall quite disappointing and the price does not justify the quality of the dish.
Lemon dill fish and chips ($18++)
Fish batter was crispy at some parts but thick and floury on some parts. Towards the end of the meal the inner of the batter was sticky and gluey.. probly not cooked long enough.
Fries was nothing impressive. Probly will not order this again.
Booked through eatigo so we have a 20% discount. Pricey cafe price at $22, ambiance was good and food was not too, bad. Prolly wouldn't buy the full works again, but will go again.
For any museum goer, you’d notice FFT tucked away in the corner of National Museum, where whiffs of coffee & food will carry you right to their doorstep.
The usual suspects of brunch is available, but there’s also a variety of mains & pastas.
For affordable dishes that can’t really go wrong, I went for the spicy pulled pork linguine. Stressed pieces of pulled pork were tossed in aglio olio styled linguine, topped with cherry tomatoes, a bacon slice & a sunny side up.
Huat ah! The Basic Works came with creamy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon on buttery brioche. Added garlic mushrooms for a more balanced meal. #happybelly #fatdieme #burpple (S$9+S$4)
The soft shell chilli crab linguine ($23) was yummy, it’s slightly sweet and slightly spicy with bits of crab meat in it. The soft shell crab was crispy as well!
After a walk through the exhibits at the National Museum, stopped by Food for Thought for teatime.
Their Mixed Berries Cream Cheese Pancakes with Walnuts and Gula Melaka was visually appealing but didn't deliver on taste. Pancakes were too dense and had gritty texture, and the gula melaka sauce just didn't taste quite right.
Going at $22, the Full Works definitely did keep me full enough till dinner! The scrambled eggs and mushrooms atop the broiche bread was cooked well, eggs with the right consistency and mushrooms with the right flavour. Pommes de Noisettes (really just potato balls lol) were fried well too! Really nice ambience in the middle of the beautiful National Museum. Served ice cream sandwiches too which was a great end to my brunch!
($18+) The sauce went well w the pasta and eggy yolk! Although the pulled pork looks like it came out from the can kind (the pork that we see often in home cooked fried beehoon haha) #burpple #burpplesg #foodforthoughtsg #chopesg
On this gloomy Tuesday, I dream of sunshine, museum walks and icy-cold ice cream cookie sandwiches. When you're in the vicinity of the National Museum, drop by Food For Thought and grab an @icecreamcookieco's After Eight. It is by far my favourite cause the mint flavour isn't too strong, just a delicate tingle along your tongue that gives a light edge to the chewy chewy chocolate cookie. Also, cause the cookie is almost brownie-like, I can nibble on the ice cream and cookie without it crumbling all over me. Come back sunshine!! Come back weekends!
Fluffy pancake with cream cheese berries & gula malaka syrup + ice cream (12 +2)-pancake is okay, the syrup is one of the scariest thing ive ever eaten with a pancake (scarier than with onions) 3.25/5
