Cafes

My quest to find decent yet affordable lobster rolls in Singapore hasn’t been easy, with many ranging from $35-$40 onwards.

So I was so glad to find this one at The Refinery as part of their weekend brunch menu. At $28, it’s not super cheap but yummy enough for me to be willing to pay for it. The lobster was fresh, and mixed with the mayo and other ingredients (onions?) in the buttery roll, it was really tasty yet surprisingly light!

Nice little cafe near Beo Crescent Market. I got the Grilled Salmon Rice ($13.80) which comes with sautéed mushrooms and a soft boiled egg, topped with Japanese sesame sauce. Simple and good!

Since the last time I came here, the cafe has been renovated and now has a large selection of gelato! I’ll be back to try it for sure.

Decided to check out the other branch of d’Good Café and was happy to see lots of tea options on their menu.

The Oolong Tea Latte ($7) was really nice and I love it when cafés make an effort with latte art for tea! Great place for tea drinkers.

The best lobster roll deal I’ve seen in Singapore! There was a decent amount of fresh lobster and mayo in the buttery brioche. It came with crispy fries and a super addictive mayo - a cross between an aioli and tartar sauce which I think was different from the one in the roll. Pretty sinful but worth a try!

I find that most places non-vegetarians like to eat at usually have limited vegetarian options. So I was really happy to come across this new cafe on a quiet street next to Tanjong Pagar Plaza. They have quite a number of vegetarian options alongside the meat items.

I got the Pumpkin Penne that comes with feta, pine nuts and a creamy marinara sauce ($11.50 as a lunch set including a hot drink) which was so good. And I was pleasantly surprised that I could pick a matcha latte as my set drink as they usually cost at least $5 anywhere in Singapore.

My lunch buddy ordered the Truffle Chicken Lasagna with an Iced Flat White (add $1 for iced drinks). It comes with a side salad which tasted quite truffly.

A good quality and value for money lunch option in the area - go try it out!
