Sun Ray Cafe

salmon pesto pasta // $10

while it wasn’t exceptional, i thoroughly enjoyed this lovely plate of pasta. the sauce went really well with the salmon. despite its wallet friendly price, sun ray does not skimp at all as the portion was rather sizable, i was pleasantly surprised by the size of the salmon - it was well cooked and was not too dry !

they serve sky juice for free, like most of its counterparts but you can always choose to go for their drinks which are priced at as low as $2. i was told that their coffee is good but i’m not quite a fan of coffee to begin with so try at your own discretion jokes i am sure their coffee is as lovely as their sky juice kek

while the food quality can be inconsistent at times and they tend to change their menu frequently, sun ray is still a place that is close to my heart for nothing beats their cozy ambience and affordable prices.

Super generous portion and very yummy!!!! I’ve been coming back for this and haven’t gotten sick of it yet 👍🏻 Not too spicy for someone who can’t take spice.

Huge fan of their dedication to good food and affordable prices (and you can bring your dogs!). Their pastas have always satisfied and you get a generous four prawns in a tasty aglio olio pasta (though ours today was a little undercooked). But no complaints, we’ve been here many times and it’s always a great experience that’s friendly on the wallet.

This pasta comes chock full of ingredients; think soft shell crab, prawns, fried fish all on top of a tasty chilli crab pasta. Very value-for-money and yummy too!

Drop by this Serangoon joint for affordable nosh that you can enjoy with your pet. Dogs are allowed indoors, but keep them leashed! Fans of seafood will love the delicious Chilli Crab Pasta ($14) that sees dory slices, tiger prawns and soft shell crab on a bed of linguine, with a raw egg to stir into the sauce. Treat yourselves to the tea-riffic The Black Sea ($7), where a generous dollop of coconut ice cream sits in two shots of espresso and topped with genmaicha tea leaves.

Over at Sun Ray Cafe, a pet-friendly establishment run by Parchmen & Co, you can order the collaborative dessert named Imagine Harmony. The dessert comprises of a scoop of Tie Guan Yin ice cream presented on a bed of sugared almond flakes, and is dressed with crushed coffee meringue, coffee white chocolate, and effervescent fruit salt. To be consumed like a “tea-ffogato” a small pot filled with cold brewed Tie Guan Yin is served alongside and best enjoyed together after dousing the elements with the concoction. Salty, sweet and nutty, I enjoyed the subtle sharpness of the fruit salt. Individually, the creamy consistency of the ice cream and the bittersweetness of the coffee also paired well but the elements might be a little overwhelming for some as a whole - a good option nonetheless as an after-meal treat.
