Cafes Checklist

To finish off the meal, wash it down with their @brewlander collab of Elderflower & Lemon ($4.50) or Grapefruit & Ginger ($4.50) soda. The former was a perfect blend of floral & tang, which is extremely refreshing! The latter has a hint of spiciness followed by fruity sweet bitterness, adding another dimension to the fizzy soda. If these are available as a 6 pack, I'd gladly take them 😂⁠

⁠Next was The Slut ($11), a specialty that many raved about. It consists of cage-free eggs as well, coddled on top of house-made potato purée, cooked with grey salt & topped with chives & served with thin slices of baguette. The combination is not mind-blowing as I've had this combo elsewhere, but it was fun to have as you go through the many layers & textures.⁠

Fairfax ($12) was a simple one, with cage-free scrambled eggs, chives, caramlised onions, cheddar cheese & sriracha mayo in between soft warm fluffy brioche buns. We added bacon (+ $3) & also added beef patty (+ $4) to another to amplify the flavours. On its own, its a stunner with the runny eggs no doubt, but with the addition of fatty meat, oof, the flavour changes. Will I have it again? I guess if I'm craving for it & if there's no long queue, then yeah sure.⁠

Coffee by the bay window for a lazy Sunday ☺️ this hole in the wall vibe is the perfect spot to kick start your Sunday while you laze in bed then have a coffee to perk you up.

The White is $5.50 & + $1 for the oat milk. They use oatly, which is usually the barista's choice for most oat milks.

The white was fragrant with hints of floral notes while the black had a liquorice taste followed by a sweet floral finish.

Micro Bakery | Kitchen is located at the corner of Serene Centre, along the walkway towards Cluny Court. They have mainly outdoor seats which allows you & your furry friends to bask in the morning light & enjoy fresh bakes & coffee!⁠
⁠
If you like something simple, their Bread & Butter Plate ($7) will do just the job! Freshly made sourdough with a side of butter & maldon salt + pepper does the trick! Add on your own sides to create your version of a breakfast plate.⁠

We got the Grilled Tomato Flatbread ($16.60) which comes with a freshly made flat bread topped with roasted cherry & heirloom toms, burrata, sage pesto, basil & toasted pecans! This combination provides you an extra satisfying breakfast of different flavours & textures - allowing you to enjoy & savour every mouthful!⁠

Double espresso with chilled milk - that's what dirty is! & I guess the name stems from the muddy look it comes with.

This caffeinated drink does stand out with a name, but taste wise, probably just a stronger coffee option. It's served as it is, without ice, which then warms up quite quickly as it sits at room temp, making it a lil difficult to drink.

Nonetheless, it's definitely enjoyable with its double shot!

Located just a stone throw away from Potong Pasir MRT, Fuel X (sibling to Fuel Plus+) serves up an extensive menu of brunch staples, coffee & bites!

One of the sides that's a perfect sharing dish is their Mentaiko Bro-Cauli Nuggets! The perfect pun to showcase their use of broccoli & cauliflower as bite-sized nuggets which comes lightly battered & drenched with Mentaiko. If you didn't know, you wouldn't have thought that you're either veggies - which is perfect for kids, or non-veggie eaters like me! 😜

The ingenious move of combining a cinna roll & croissant is a perfect matchmake in heaven! 😍

A flaky, crispy exterior, paired with a soft, fluffy & sweet interior makes this a delish pastry to have with coffee, or just as a snack by itself!

Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup ($16) comes with Murcia Al Vino, Ham, Brioche, Tomatoes & a side of Cucumber Pickles.

Tbh, if you separated the dish into two, their grilled cheese turned out to be a pretty decent croque madame, with a well-packed meaty center & loaded up with LOADS of cheese. As for the tomato soup, while it tastes smokey & slightly tangy at first, the flavour dissolves at the end to give you a watery finish which was a slight turn off. 😕 But I guess the grilled cheese/croque madame made up for it!

It's been awhile since I last cafe-hop, but finally visited this popular spot that I heard of.

Tried one of their signature desserts - Grape & Ricotta Matcha Brioche ($13). One might find the combination of fruit & cheese strange, but this surprisingly works pretty! The sweet-sour tang of the grapes, paired with the savoury ricotta works pretty well! To top it, a sprinkle of lavender bits perfumes the dish & your mouth. It surprisingly doesn't overpower the other flavours, but gives it a light gentle flavour boost. Probably the thing that sets it apart from other fruit-cheese combinations.

That aside, coffee is pretty decent as they take it from @commonmancoffee ☕️ as their kitchen closes early on weekends, so it's a great tea time spot to be at!

With beans from 2 degrees north, Brotherbird Coffeehouse pours a chocolate-y base coffee ending with sweet toffee notes with a slight nuttiness.

The flavours are more prominent as a milk-based 5.5oz white, while the nuttiness is more prominent in the black.

Along with the coffee, do have a go at their selection of croissants or desserts!
