@tofumagician.sg didn’t have an hour long wait today! Managed to get my hands on these in just ten minutes and happy to report that their freshly churned soy milk really does taste different; full bodied, creamy and naturally sweet. The chewy White Jade Balls coated in cream and soybean powder were also yummeh. Would I queue an hour for it? Probably not, but if I can get a quick fix, you’ll definitely catch me getting a cuppa.

👉Dosai Meal - SGD10
Paper/Masala Dosai, served with 3 vegetables, sambar, chutney & kulambu
I got their Masala Dosai which was packed with generous amount of mashed potato fillings. As for their vegetables which changes from time to time, I really enjoyed the ones I had that day - cucumbers, lady’s fingers & long beans. Totally no idea how they were cooked but most importantly, the flavours managed to excite both my taste buds and imagination. And finally not to forget their sambar, kulambu and 3 different chutneys that gave rise to countless unique flavour combinations. All in all, simply just eat how ever you like/enjoy it!😋👍

This aromatic coconut milky laksa broth is the perfect rescue to a rainy day! While it might look ordinary with the usual ingredients like fish cake, hard boiled egg, beansprouts, tau pok which I simply love soaking in the broth, the addition of shredded steamed hainanese chicken calls for a difference. The shredded slices were not dry like chicken breast, instead tender and of substantial thickness. Read that a laksa can only be defined as Hainanese style with the addition of steamed Hainanese chicken. What was also special in this bowl was the crispy pork skin, my first time trying in a bowl of laksa. I usually don’t prefer eating pork skin as it can come across oily, fatty and sometimes rancid, but the ones here were served crispy and fragrant, or so I thought as they soaked up the laksa broth.
Getting used to this cycle of treat yourself takeouts on PH/ the weekends with the nation’s back and forth drift into and out of Phase 2 Heightened Alert.
Choosing to be grateful for excellent bakeries like Bakery Brera that churn amazing bakes 6 days a week to feed souls like mine; and they do good in the process too (check out ST article: Help pours in for siblings with rare disorder (11 Jul 21).
While I savoured the layers the variety of croissants and cruffins; forked into the decadent scone and basque cheesecake (with a hint of alcohol) - they definitely felt like pleasures of life.

I got the truffle carbonara and the serving was generous! The fettuccine was cooked perfectly al dente and the porcini cream sauce gave a unique earthy and nutty flavour which I loved. However we felt it would be more apt if the dish was named “Mushroom Carbonara” instead because the truffle taste was really lacking. That aside, I really enjoyed this dish.

Moving on to the burger, it definitely fell short of our expectations. We didn’t realise it would be a steak burger, as in a whole steak instead of a minced beef patty within the burger, but the steak was so dry and tough to bite through. The dark yuzu sauce also tasted just like barbecue sauce, which was not to my liking. The saving grace here was the truffle fries though! While it’s similar to any other decent truffle fries, it for sure stood out against the burger.
I would probably visit this place again, just not for the burger! I loved how cozy the interior looked and would try out other items on their menu.
Happy to be back at @sunwithmoonsg and was excited to try out other dishes this time round.

This came with snow crab, prawn, salmon, scallop and vegetables. Was looking forward to this but was eventually disappointed 😕 The batter was neither light nor crispy, though the ingredients were fresh as usual. I would have preferred it if the tempura weren’t drenched in sauce and the dipping sauce was served at the side.

Not the first time getting this and it was good as before! Ingredients were fresh and I liked how the 3 ingredients spared us from the tough choice of choosing one of the three! 😋
A hidden rooftop café in the west? Yes please.

Came with perfectly poached eggs, sautéed spinach and Iberico jamón with mantous. We felt that this could do with the mantous being slightly toasted as the texture was rather one-dimensional. Flavour wise, I found that the yolks overpowered the dish and the flavours of the hollandaise and jamon were more muted.

This, on the other hand, did not disappoint. The eggs were soft cooked atop a bed of thick chilli crab and tomato sauce and it was topped with a generous portion of crab meat. The sauce itself was well-balanced and I liked how the sweetness made the spice much more tolerable. The mantous were deep fried and remained crisp till the end, which added a nice contrast in textures of the dish.
Overall it was a pleasant visit with prompt service and the red and white interior of the cafe was indeed a refreshing sight. I’d recommend you guys to visit before 10.30am to avoid the crowd!
