Boba Waffle ($10) Waffle drizzled with gula melaka sauce, sea salt custard cream, caramelised walnut and lastly topped with vanilla ice cream and boba

Gula Melaka Boba Croissant ($4.60) Croissant filled with gula melaka cream and tapioca pearls . The croissant was flaky but a bit burnt though while the gula melaka cream added a nice sweetness . And as usual, the pearls were soft and mushy .

Gula Melaka Boba ($7.30) Gula melaka sponge filled with mascarpone cream and tapicoa pearls . The gula melaka sponge was quite cold in the middle and the pearls were mushy . And I couldn’t really taste the gula melaka flavour . A bit disappointed by this dessert though .

Soy Osthmanthus Tea Cake with Yuzu Frosting Spotted yet another new offering at the favourite place whilst being there for the weekend cuppa the other day; and it goes without saying what we are going to order to accompany the cuppa. Available alongside their line of loaf cakes, which includes the Carrot & Walnut Slice and the Chocolate Banana Slice, the Soy Osthmanthus Tea Cake with Yuzu Frosting is something that offers a twist to the more conventional loaf cakes that they have to offer. The tea cake was actually pretty comforting; bearing the same density as their usual loaf cakes, they are also pretty generous with how big the slices are here. It is sufficiently moist, but I especially loved how the cake itself carried light notes of soy — almost akin to that of soy milk. Whilst the Osthmantus could admittedly be a little stronger for a floral note, the Yuzu Frosting came with a slight zing and wasn’t particularly sweet; overall a pretty fitting and comforting combination. Best paired with an iced long black, especially given the current heatwave of the late.

Open Faced Toast, Slow Cooked Egg and Grilled Bacon ✨Open Faced Toast, Slow Cooked Egg and Grilled Bacon✨ The bacon was cooked brilliantly! Juicy, yet slightly crispy! The toast was a little too soft, especially with the cooked egg and cheese that softened it a little too much. I felt that each side was delicious, but it doesn’t blend well together. 💰: $17.80 📈: 8/10

Oven Baked Molten Eggs with a side of Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Melted Cheese 💼Service review: Super friendly staffs who are always smiley despite the busy lunch crowd. 🥗Food review: ✨Oven Baked Molten Eggs with a side of Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Melted Cheese✨ This is one of the best cafe dish I have ever had😍 The eggs are hidden in the melted cheese, and they are really soft and runny like Ya Kun half-boiled eggs! The eggs softened the melted cheese, which gives it the cheese pull while still having a crispy crust at the bottom. The avocado was sliced beautifully and sprinkled with chilli flakes, giving it a hint of spicy kick. The smoked salmon was really easy to slice and chewy. It goes really well with the avocado and fresh vegetables! The toast was the only part that I dislike as it was too tough to chew. 💰: $18.90 📈: 10/10

Little Diner Truffle Fries ($16.50) Small - $9.50 Large - $16.50 Like what other reviews mentioned, these fries were indeed a little soggy and oily. The smell of the truffle however was really strong as the dish arrived :o Taste wise was alright.

Ratings: 6/10 • Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice-cream drizzled with chocolate syrup. It tastes like any other typical lava cake with vanilla ice-cream that you can find anywhere. Nothing fancy/great.

Old School Mac & Cheese ($16.50) Macaroni Tossed in Yummy Triple Cheese Sauce, Topped with Crispy Breadcrumbs Baked till Golden Brown.I love the fact that the sauce was a good consistency. Thick, Creamy, Velvety and Cheesy. Pasta was al dente. Overall I give it a 7/10. Another dish worth trying is the "Krusty Krab" Benedict ($19.50). Golden Crabcake Pillow with Chipotle Aioli, Crispy Bacon, Grilled Asparagus, Poached Eggs & Hollandaise Sauce on Toasted Brioche Bread with Side of Baby Green Salad. Spicy Sweet Crabcake, Crispy on the Outside and Soft in the Inside accompanied with the Creamy Buttery Hollandaise Sauce and Toasted Bread was a perfect combination. Overall I give this dish 8/10. A dish you should stay away from is the Truffle Fries ($9.50 for small). Fries were like Soggy(?) Maybe cause they are Handcut. Truffle taste was like not present while the taste of Garlic was strong. Feel like they should rename it to Garlic Fries instead. Overall I give it a 4/10.

Earl Grey Waffles (Dec '15) Before Atlas Coffeehouse, there was Assembly nestled along the stretch of Evans Road. If you've been there before, I'm sure you'd know that one of the highlights of their menu was their Earl Grey Waffles with vanilla ice-cream and caramel drizzle. Quality stuff, as far as I can recall. Also, I must say that I'm quite impressed because this picture was untouched when I found it in my gallery.

Salted Caramel Earl Grey Waffle Great place for hanging out with friends and a good ol' cuppa. The beans are imported so it's quite authentic.

Salted Caramel + Chocolate Strawberry Waffles We had the salted caramel waffles and the chocolate strawberry waffles, both priced at $12 each. They were really good and the waffles were crispy but fluffy on the inside. I enjoyed both waffles but I definitely liked the salted caramel waffles a lot more! However, you have to walk a bit if you're getting here by public transport.

Blue Swimmer & Soft Shell Crab Risotto Delicious fried soft shell crab which had plenty of roe! Chunks of crab meat thrown in as well. The cheese was amazing but the rice was a letdown as it was a bit grainy. For the portion, it's pretty worth it at $25++.

Frutti Di Mare Fresh seafood with an array of prawns, squids, mussels and tempura white bait. The prawns were a bit overcooked though, being slightly tough. The squid ink pasta was rather bland, but was saved by the bird chillies and tempura which brought the dish to life. Get this if you are in the mood for something light. Priced at $25++.

MISSING PAN WHERES MY MISSING MAN Soft shell crab risotto ( rich and Yum but a little too salty and jilat one bite after another) // burger was huge and generous ( but not suitable to us ladies to order) suggestion for bite sized quantities for us? Good coffee caramel latté , Yuzu , and mocha(?) portions : good service ; great experience chill atmosphere ... the service for reservations as prompt and great to remind the reservations made in advance.. ''Twas a great catching up sesh with the gang : laugh and talk till hearts content by the glass window : waiting for the rain to stop like how it depicts our life- to pause and appreciate the great - before moving on ... with life

Best Weekend Brunch Munching Spots For Under $12! Signature Bangkok toast – an eggy cinnamon brioche toast served with matcha custard and Thai milk tea ice cream. Read more: https://www.misstamchiak.com/weekend-brunch/

Duck Confit Hash; A Pleasant Surprise While the presentation could use more color, this brunch item (till 3pm) genuinely surprised me with the creamy duck confit ($17) infused with sweet potato, caramalised onions and cheese.

Good, But Not As Good As Before Beef Rendang Lasagne ($16) Great flavours here, strongly reminiscent of beef Rendang as expected, especially from that kick you get from the spiciness. However, I found the beef to be too dry, and the pasta sheets to be too hard.

1 for 1 BIG BREKKIE ✨1 for 1 all-in-one brekkie at @onemancoffee ☕️ using @burpple ‼️ … One of the most worth it deals I got with @burpple thus far. Really appreciate the good service and consistent serving size according to their usual (the portions are sizeable! 👍), nicely sautéed mushroom, fatty artisanal chorizo sausage and fav tater tots 💖

Overall good experience. Value for money, not bad but sausage and bacon were a little salty. $33 for 2 breakfast sets + 2 coffees.

Gashouse Eggs | $13 Finally had the chance to hit up One Man Coffee after being greeted by long snaking queues during their brunch time. Got lucky and managed to snag a seat for breakfast. Opted for the gashouse eggs as I was not feeling hungry enough for the bigger plates. Absolutely loved how they made it, cheesy on the top yet oozy sunny side up egg in the middle. I’m personally not a fan of sourdough bread that’s too tough, but this crusty rendition had a great chewy texture to it. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

French Toast Set ($8.20) The French Toast is the most expensive breakfast item on Tong Ah's menu. I will probably order this dish rather than the kaya toast because they are topped with a couple dollops of kaya and slices of butter which allow you to better taste the kaya. The French Toast itself is decent with a nice crepe-like layer of egg coating the bread but there is (of course) not going to be enough kaya or butter to spread on all of the French Toast. I hate to say so but Tong Ah's horribly overpriced. Yes, rental is mad and inflation is painful but Tong Ah does its food no justice with how they try to cut corners and save costs.

Crispy Thin Kaya Toast Set ($6.80) I personally prefer the 'non-traditional' crispy thin kaya toast for its wafer-like crunchy texture. I cannot recall if they charge extra for butter with their kaya toast but the interesting thing is that they would cut it into thin slices and place it in a bowl of ice water to keep it cold and ensure that it keeps its form and does not melt completely when it is served. A lovely touch but my gripe is that the thin stripe of butter was so small that it was as thin as (and if not thinner) than the thin toast itself and left me thoroughly dissatisfied. I can't help but feel that I'm paying more for the old school atmosphere than for the food itself, seeing how they seem to 'stinge' on their ingredients...

Traditional Kaya Toast Set Meal ($6.20) Tong Ah Eating House might not have the same name recognition as Yakun but I am sure everyone knows the iconic white building at the junction of Keong Saik Road and Teck Lim Road. which bears its name in red. The coffeeshop has shifted down the road but continues to retain its old school charm and is most famous for their kaya toast and tze char dishes. Their signature traditional kaya toast features thick soft toasted white bread with kaya spread in between. I knew I was in for a treat as the kaya was a dull greenish grey instead of a pandan green colour. This usually means that the kaya was made in house, fresh and without the use of food colouring. I liked that their kaya was subtly sweet with a nice strong pandan note. My only (big) qualm was that they spread the kaya (very) thinly to the point that parts of the bread seemed to be untouched. For those who are counting, they are charging the same (or similar) to Toastbox (which has attracted some negative press for their pricing). I therefore find it quite hard to categorise it as "cheap and good" as burpple seems to have done.

HANDS DOWN FAV French toast 🍞 📍Clarke Quay u know it’s good when u nearly cried after finding out it closed down 😭😭😭 just wanna do a review anyway for the memories they have sweet & savory options for the French toast; I’ve tried both. The sweet one comes with lots of berries, the savory one has BACON STRIPS and yes I prefer the savory French toast! The bacon went really well with the sweetness of the maple syrup AND the toast itself was super fluffy and warm with a slight crisp on the outside. an absolute masterpiece. I’m honestly so sad it closed down 😭

Every So Often I come to ronin every so often (as the title indicates) and it’s kinda a hit and miss with the scrambled eggs. I used to think the scrambled eggs were like the best in Singapore because it was runny like the Gordon ramsay style (if you know you know). But these days, it’s only like that half the time. Mushroom, bread and drinks are still good tho.

Savoury French Toast Although its called Savoury French Toast, its more of a sweet and salty meal. The toast with butter and syrup is so yummy I wouldn’t mind if they just gave me more of that. At first I found the braised apple kinda weird, but it cuts through the oily and saltiness of the bacon so it becomes a cycle of sweet and salty which is nice.

Iced Genmaicha Latte [$6] This is how I survive the work week! Truly the best iced genmaicha latte in town.

Scrambled Egg & Cheese Crossaint At first glance, I thought this $5.80 pastry looked most Starbucks-esque for some reason. But the more I stared at it, the more that oozy cheese and slightly deflated crossaint looked appealing to me. And oh boy was it good (better than Starbucks). The crossaint remained crispy and flaky despite the fact that it had been stuffed with egg and cheese. The egg was well seasoned and while obviously not freshly cooked at least it was flavorful and not rubbery. But the kicker was the cheese. Slightly salty and with a reasonable cheese pull, it paired with the buttery crossaint and savory eggs perfectly. I am surprised and impressed by this!! I was not expecting it to taste quite this good. :) 8/10

Milky milk coffee Ordered my almost-turning-into-a-staple: Flat White. It is rich in the taste of the milk, or rather could I say that the milk actually overwhelmed the espresso. This was lacklustre and not what I was expecting. Given that they do sell their own batches of beans, I expected way more. Would probably give the other branch nearby another go next time! *Fingers crossed*
