One Man Coffee (Upper Thomson)

🎶 If I share this FRENch toast maybe? 😉
.
No reservations are allowed at One Man Coffee so be prepared to wait or be nestled outside, just like my group of 6 did! 😔😔😔 It was scorching hot on this fateful Sunday but the tables inside were perpetually occupied (which the crew promised me twice to move me in ~20-30mins when other customers left but it never happened! 😭 Oh wells!) As much as the environment was unpleasant, it still enjoyed my catch-up with my close friends! ❤
.
Their rendition of French Toast ($15) surely satisfied my sweet tooth! 😍😍😍 Featuring thick French toasts with caramelised banana, strawberries, blueberries, candied walnuts & salted caramel, plus an additional scoop of vanilla ice cream (+$4), this certainly made an indulgent treat. 👍🏻
.
Our vanilla ice cream dusted with cocoa powder melted really fast & was reduced to a pool of creamy swirl due to the scorching hot weather 🔥🔥🔥 (& we were seated outdoors due to unavailability of indoor seats).
.
Thankfully, the thick fluffy toast served as good sponges to soak up the melted ice cream, which salvaged the ice cream a bit. 😋😋😋 Fans of cinnamon would surely like this as much as I did as the pillowy-soft toast was slathered with a generous amount of cinnamon flavouring, topped with a snow of icing sugar. 💕
.
Applause to the caramelised bananas for being perfectly done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That alluring gloss on the nicely-browned sugar was truly reminiscent of the top layer of crème brulee, rendering a good crunch when paired with the naturally sweet & soft bananas. 😋😋😋 Both the slightly sourish strawberries & blueberries as well as the crunchy toasted walnuts balanced out the overall taste profile a bit 💯, though I would have appreciated more of them to achieve a greater balance. ✔
.
Overall, this was a dessert plate that I enjoyed a lot. ✌🏻 Besides the 1-for-1 deal under #BurppleBeyond, it would have been even more enjoyable if the ice cream lasted longer & had more tangy fruits! 😊

Super worth 1 for 1 on beyond! Tried the highly raved salted caramel french toast and gashouse eggs, definitely did not disappoint!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Gashouse eggs was really a very good mix of runny egg wrapped in melted cheesey goodness 😍 bacon jam also had the right amount of savoury feels to go with it.

French toast was very fluffy and went very well with the salted caramel dip 🙌🏻 personally found it a little dry and crumbly inside, but it’s ok if paired with the caramelized bananas.

Coffee was mediocre, a bit acrid.

This brought me memories of having a comforting breakfast at @yakunkayatoastsg, but with an European twist to it. Though it was already filling enough for me, I wished there were more slices of sourdough to go along with the beautiful concoction.
