It might not be such a good idea for me to be blogging about cafes during my Eat Clean Week...
But a promise is a promise and I am already a day late in doing so.
So...
Here goes!
This is my second visit to Baker & Cook,
but first visit to their Holland Village outlet.
We were admittedly headed to Holland Village for Sunday Folks.
But unfortunately,
we were not aware that Sunday Folks only open from 4pm onwards on weekdays.
So we settled at Baker & Cook instead,
along the same row of shops as Sunday Folks!
The eggs benedict was a miss for us though.
The toast was so hard that we had to chew and tug at it with all our might before we could even detach a bite.
The quiche was average but not memorable.
Twice the disappointment for us because we thought we would be eating soft serve with ice cream that day.
Hahah.
It's been so long since my visit that I've already forgotten the name of this cafe.
Either that or my memory is failing me at the age of 25.
Hahah.
Hooray for Instagram!
This cafe is called Quarter to Three.
Chanced upon it when I met my friends for dinner at Chicken Up and suggested it for brunch with Jazreel.
Loved the meatballs dish I ordered!
The meatballs are handmade (if I am not wrong) and so, so tender.
Wins Ikea meatballs hands down.
Rainbow cake was not impressive though,
tasted like your run-of-the-mill vanilla cake.
Still prefer NOM's any time!
Anthesis is one of my favorite cafes out of all that I have visited.
But sadly,
they closed down a couple of months back.
:(
I don't think I will be blogging about the food much since you would not be able to visit this cafe anymore.
Enjoy the photos!
Anthesis, why you close down???
:(
Visited Bloomsbury Bakers because I saw the speculoos apple crumble tart from IG and it looked SO GOOD.
But I guess luck was not on our side when we visited,
because we got a deconstructed tart in a plastic cup instead of a full tart.
Although it should have tasted the same technically speaking...
But a whole tart would have looked a whole lot nicer!
The lemon meringue tart and strawberry shortcake were not really worthy of mention.
The food selection at The Tastemaker Store was really limited.
I think Yoko ordered some curry chicken rice (?) while I ordered a peanut butter cake with an iced matcha latte.
Don't think I will be returning to this cafe again,
but I think the decor looks really nice and rustic.
Our first successful visit to Sunday Folks!
And it definitely did not disappoint.
We went on a late Friday afternoon and...
THE QUEUE WAS SO FREAKING LONG.
After getting ourselves a queue number,
we had to wait for about 20 minutes before we got our seat.
Another 20 minutes went by before we were served our waffles.
We ordered 2 of the regular waffles (2 slices of waffles) with pistachio soft serve and gula melaka soft serve.
Loved both!!
While I would hesitate about queuing for such a long time again,
these soft serve waffles were definitely worth the hype and rave reviews.
Waffles with ice cream only look good before you start eating,
though.
Hahah.
Made our second visit last week because we were craving for it.
This time round,
we ordered pistachio with their premium sea salt chocolate honeycomb toppings.
SO GOOD.
Guess it will be my regular haunt for ice cream and waffles from now on!
If only the queue can be shorter.
Or maybe they can consider opening another outlet?
Hehe.
Tian Kee & Co is also a cafe which I see myself frequenting every now and then.
Main reason is because it is near to my work place!
Secondly,
they are going to close down in a year or two due to redevelopment of the Dakota Crescent area.
So,
better visit while you still can!
On my second visit,
I tried the eggs benedict (not a fan of their cheese sauce, I prefer the traditional hollandaise!) and their rainbow tofu cheesecake.
The cheesecake was pretty good!
Loved the texture.
And of cos,
the pastel colours make it extremely IG worthy.
I loveeeee Grub.
And especially so because it is really near where I stay.
Plus,
the food hardly ever disappoints.
I think this is my 4th time there already.
Brought my mum there for her birthday lunch recently.
Ordered the sakura ebi pasta for the first time and I think it just made it to my list of must-orders at Grub.
Mentaiko fries goes without saying,
of course.
DAMN.
So hungry just looking at the photos.
Eating clean is so tough.
Okay,
that's all for part II.
Will do up another post once I accumulated more cafes to blog about.
Doubt I will be visiting any this week because am trying to eat clean.
Till then!
But a promise is a promise and I am already a day late in doing so.
