Beautiful windows, beautiful place to chill the high round windows are a graceful feature of this cafe (pls google to check them out!), i have not seen it in any other cafes! it really lightens the feel of the cafe. sitting there calms me down despite the bustle. on weekends though it does gets pretty packed. coffee is pretty good with attention to details, and the desserts ain't run-of-the-mill too. previously had a fig sticky cake here which totally blew my mind! *checked their page and they ae now back to a retail space instead. noooooo. i hope the windows remain!

These guys m get their coffee beans from Papa Palheta. And it taste good! Wanted to try their food as Chef Willin Low created their menu outta his friendship with them. Frank in a blanket is good! The frank is coated with rendang sauce. And not forgetting that the bread is lightly crisp on the outside. The exact way I wanted!

Bubble & Squeak Bubble and squeak - a traditional British meal of potatoes, cabbage (well in this case root vegetables) and meat, mixed and fried. This was hearty and pretty tasty!

Popular Place With Good Vibes! Scotch eggs are amazing, Heineken is creamy and smooth - and their assistant manager Andy is a gem! Would definitely be back.

Done With Rabbit Carrot Gun Food and ambience is great BUT the service is really sub-par from start to end. For the price I’m paying, I’d rather go elsewhere. I rarely give poor reviews. But they were really impatient even at 10ish in the morning, when they were half full. Not the kind of way you’d want to start your morning. When my friend and I arrived, we hesitated/ stuttered before sharing our reservation name and pax because the booking was made by a friend who wasn’t there yet. The waiter immediately told us off before giving us time to check or suggesting for us to check our reservation. Instead he chose to say “it’d make a big difference to the tables, A BIG DIFFERENCE”. While it’s true, his tone was super necessary and harsh. He then walked off leaving another waiter nearby to tend to us. Later on, we wanted to seek help from a waitress to help us get a photo. Her response was literally “Er no, I don’t want to touch it” and walked away. Without an apology or explanation. Granted that it was our bad, we forgot it was sensitive times and people might not want to touch our belongings. But honestly, can’t think of another restaurant with waiters that’d throw an attitude like that to a paying customer. I mean I’d understand if I were at a coffee shop or hawker centre but not in a cafe like this. Come at your own risk of meeting snobbish pricks.

Finally here at the elusive Whale & Cloud. Nice cakes and a really good Cold Brew (Sherlock Blend). And they are serving Proud Mary beans today! Happiness. On a sadder note, I understand that they might not be open again for some time so come on down today.

A cafe with less than 10 seaters and 6 people were still waiting. So I decided to order take away. "Starting to rain"! . | 1st taste: Strong nutty aroma 2nd taste: Light sourly taste tingle on the palate 3rd taste: sweet and refreshing aftertaste . | Only open every Saturday. Follow their IG acc for more information.

Hidden Secret Cafe $24 for two slices of cake and coffee. A slice of carrot cake loaf and green tea loaf accompanied by America's Blue Bottle Coffee (1 black and 1 white). Interesting concept however, my white coffee burnt my tongue even after I took about 5 mins to take photos 😔😔 cakes wise was pretty good.

Quinoa Ulam Hadn’t really heard much about Necessary Provisions ever since they had re-opened their doors within SmartFit Pilates at Tanglin Shopping Centre — whilst I had been there once and had their Croque Kinoko, I had been quite intrigued by their Quinoa Ulam; and so a revisit was going to happen just for that. The Quinoa Ulam is their very unique rendition of the Nasi Ulam — a dish that is sometimes found in Peranakan restaurants being a somewhat of a rice salad dish featuring shredded mixed herbs that is known for being especially aromatic and refreshing. Being an establishment that is all about healthy eating, Necessary Provisions had switched up the usual rice grains with quinoa instead — also feature elements such as shallot, chili, lettuce, fresh herbs and lime juice. For one who does not quite enjoy salad usually, the Quinoa Ulam was actually a dish that I found to be really easy to finish and pretty appetising — just like the typical Nasi Ulam, there is just so much going on in the rice — the freshness of the herbs carrying not just a burst of umami, but also a slight crunch, while the chili provides an extra punch that tickles the taste buds; all that while the quinoa comes soft and fluffy. Served chilled, the Quinoa Ulam is nothing short of zippy yet refreshing — never a moment where it felt monotonous because there is always something different in terms of flavour and texture with every spoonful. The Quinoa Ulam is probably the dish that embodies the character of Necessary Provisions the best — a comforting take on something familiar to our local taste buds with just a slight twist; not something too different that reinvents the wheel, but just a minor switch up but executed in a style that is so homely, simple and satisfying. I still do miss their rendition of the Luncheon Meat Fried Rice during their days at Eng Kong Terrace; but I guess that will never make it to the menu here at Tanglin Shopping Centre. Nonetheless, it’s great to have them back in the F&B scene — looking forward to the next visit so that I can enjoy a slice of their signature Pandan Chiffon Cake over a leisurely cuppa!

Americano and Pandan Chifforn Cake Chifforn cake smells really good the moment it is served. Very soft, fragrant and moist. Americano is good with no sourish or bitterish after taste. An overall great experience especially if you need some quiet times alone.

Pandan Chiffon Cake The Pandan Chiffon Cake from Necessary Provisions is something that speaks very close to my heart, being one of the items I would most certainly order with my Flat White (maybe apart from the MIL Pineapple Tarts) whilst enjoying an idyllic afternoon here even before enlisting into National Service. This was everything I remembered it to be; soft, cottony and fluffy, the chiffon cake perfumes of an intense Pandan aroma whilst being light in its texture — its surprisingly homely for a rendition served at a cafe, and still reminds me of those simpler days of cafe-hopping that I certainly miss.

Group Therapy Salmon was tender and orzo pasta was flavorful. A very well-harmonized bowl of goodness.

Double Scoop Ice Cream W/ Waffle | $14 Earl grey & Mint Cookies flavour that came with a side of maple syrup (we had a choice of salted caramel and chocolate as well). The earl grey was light to taste, making it a decent scoop of dessert if you are afraid that you might feel too full from your last meal. The mint was refreshing, and I loved how it was cookies and not chocolate chips inside. It’s definitely a way better experience with small bits of cookies well infused in a scoop of mint ice cream. The mint ice cream did not have the toothpaste like taste as well - you can taste real freshness in it. Texture of the Belgium waffles were decently crispy and fluffy, but nothing too amazing about. I would love to try other desserts this shop has to offer, however, in terms of ice cream, they have a very limited range of flavours. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Pumpkin Pancake 💵: $19 📈: 10/10 🤔: My new favourite brunch item! The pancake was thick and fluffy, not soggy in any way. Couldn't taste the pumpkin in it, but the other elements of this dish made up for that. Definitely a must get @ Group Therapy!

Kakuni Saba Donburi Set $15.80++ First thing I noticed is that they provide electronic menu but it cannot be use for ordering, you still have to write down your order manually on the order sheet.🤨 Each donburi set comes with miso soup, 3 pc gyoza and free flow Japanese salad (cabbage with tangy sauce). It would be better if there were more stuffs in the salad, eg. tomatoes, cucumbers etc. Oh well, it’s free flow, so I’m not complaining. The gyoza was really tasty, you could taste the crisp on the skin with juicy pork fillings inside. This was so good we ordered another separate plate of it. The pork belly was very tender and well-marinated. The saba was pretty well done too, the fish was moist and no fishy taste at all.

Katsudon (カツ丼) is one of my favourite Japanese food. It is a bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet. Yum yum. Love the breaded pork. Crispy on the outside and Tender on the inside. Sometime they also cook it with curry gravy. . Featuring the Kare Katsu Don (Japanese Curry Rice with Breaded Pork) S$9.80 from @gyozayasg. It is topped with a generous slice of bread pork with picked vegetables and Japanese Curry. The curry potato are also soft. ============================ Gyoza-Ya @gyozayasg 📍260 Orchard Road B1-02A 📍Robinsons Heeren 📍Singapore 238855 📞6737 5581 🕛11:30am to 10pm daily ============================ Blog: http://www.eatdreamlove.com ============================ Eatdreamlove made an anonymous visit and paid for the food reviewed ============================ #singapore #burpple

Gyoza-Ya is now serving exclusive set meals of up to 23 choices from both Plaza Singapura and Northpoint outlet.

Tendon Set $18.80 that comes with an assortment of crisp and deliciously battered vegetables and prawns. . Salmon Saba Donburi $17.80 with the saba snatching the highlight from the salmon this time! It is rare to consume a saba with such moist flesh with slight visible fats. . Gyu Kakuni $20.80 has a mix of tender pork belly and beef slices. A suitable option for meat lovers who could not decide between pork or beef. . . You might also choose add on a couple of sides such as the Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings with House Miso $8.80, Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings with Mentaiko Miso $9.80 or the Japanese Nanban Chicken $6.80. These dumplings were their highlights as well since they called themselves Gyoza-Ya. No doubt they were definitely bold in taste. . . Thanks @desertingbeauty for the review.

lynn's cakes & coffee nothing fanciful abt this cafe. owner was unfriendly.. cake n coffee was so so only. not worth the visit guy. 4 cakes 3 coffee 4 teas = $67.50

Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake $8 When I ordered this, I wondered if this would taste more like a chocolate or cheese cake. But when I tasted it, I actually tasted both! Neither flavours were trying to outshine the other, both fused well and this really hits the spot when you are craving for both types of cakes but can only have one. Decadent but not overwhelming, I can't wait to be back to try more of their other cakes!

Best Chocolate Cake This might be my favourite chocolate cake thus far! Moist but not oily, & also not too sweet. Dark Chocolate Cake: This slice - $6.50 8" whole cake - $66 6" whole cake - $46 Different prices for different flavours. Order whole cakes at least 3 days in advance. 💵 Cash/NETS only 🌬 Air-conditioned seats 📶 WiFi available, but signal isn't strong 🚫 No GST or service charge

Belgian Dark Chocolate Loaf If you love chocolate, be sure to cut Le Bijoux’s Belgian dark chocolate loaf ($10.50) into thin slices, if you don’t want to tip the scales. Theirs is so moist and chocolatey, you’ll want to eat the whole loaf. So either be a good neighbour and give away some, or be prepared for major temptation! : )

Chunky Egg Sandwich The combination of a Raisin and walnut bread and a chopped up hard boiled egg with a touch of mayo is just magical . A good combination of textures ( toasted bread again the soft eggs) and flavours ( sweet raisins against the savoury eggs ) . Simple ingredients but brilliant combination . The usual egg sandwich set comes with a whole meal/ bran bread so do opt to change your bread to raisin and walnut.

Cranberry Scones If anything at all , the size of these scones makes it impossible to see them and not buy them. Ask for your scones to be warmed up and expect a crisp outer layer with a moist buttery interior. Perfect for an afternoon tea treat. Coffee is decent here as well .

Lunch Buffet (16) $55++ Pulut Hitam. Sweetened black glutinous rice with salted coconut milk. Oh my this was amazing. So glad I finished my gut bursting buffet with this. Thou I was filled to the brim, this was good enough that my stomach miraculously made more room and I finished the whole bowl. The only dishes I didn’t order were the Nonya Bacon Fried Rice And Burbur Cha Cha. Also, this place had complimentary parking, which I found out abt too late. But 12 lots only so first come first serve.

Lunch Buffet (15) $55++ Chendol Coconut Ice Cream. This was a really sweet dessert, thou all the essential Chendol flavors were present. Coconut ice cream was sweet but decent.

Lunch Buffet (14) $55++ Kek Lapis. I know this cake as Kueh Lapis. Not sweet. Had a salty taste actually. Not sure why.
