Second time buying the pasta from this shop and as always, wowed by the generous portion. This is like Tipo, but cheaper!

What I ordered:
• Build-your-own pasta
- Pappardelle ricce (egg)
- Mushrooms
- Poached egg
- Salmon
- Aglio olio sauce

Can’t remember how much was this but it was definitely

My boyfriend and I were looking for something affordable for dinner and came across this café! Menu is pretty extensive – all day breakfast, western mains, rice bowls, pastas and baked rice.

What’s on the table:
• Rock Honey Chicken
• Thai Chilli Fish rice bowl
• Mushroom Bisque
• Garlic baguette

Everything was on point ✨ Especially liked my rice bowl, it tasted very homely and the breaded fish fingers went so well with the sweet thai chilli sauce. This entire meal cost ~$25 for us both – which is really quite affordable considering the location! Students can get further discounts as well. If you are on a budget and would like to have some good ol’ western fare without breaking the bank, this café is the place for you 👌🏼

Dish: The Jumbo beef burger delivered what it promised. Portion was big and the patty was so juicy and flavourful. Presentation also made it look very appetising. I would compare it to MacDonald double cheeseburger on steroids (in a good way). Drinks were horribly bland though.

Price: Great value with the 1 for 1 deal. My friend and I paid around $11 each for meal and drink. Drinks aside, I would say the non-promotional price would be acceptable for the quality of food we are getting.

Verdict: Can’t wait to try the voucher with the cake. Will probably visit it with or without the voucher if I’m feeling fancy cafe food but I don’t wanna travel to town.

Quite pleasantly surprised to have discovered that the café has an outlet in the North East! Checked out the café style/operations for the first time since it transitioned from being a BBT shop and the café interior is very bright and welcoming. There’s this IG-worthy bright neon sign at the back of the shop, very suitable background for pictures!

Used the BB deal for the Pure Honey series and bought the honey roasted milk tea and honey earl grey milk tea (not pictured). Robust tea flavours complemented with a smooth milky taste, and sweetened with honey! Got to say the taste of the honey is very mild, but the drinks are fragrant and nice in their own right. Very worth it with the BB deal!

Would definitely be back to try their ice cream. (One of their ice crean flavours include White Chrysanthemum with Cacao nibs!)

Total bill: $5.20

Gave Dal.komm’s green tea latte a try, and the latte is quite sweet with a milky taste! It’s a good option if you would like a decent matcha latte but it’s nothing very special.

Pro-tip, order via Grab’s 25% self-pick up (if it’s still available)

Total price paid: $5.62

Ordered this after my onsen experience! Drink comes in an aesthetic rounded jar and serving size is good too. After factoring in the service charge and GST, I paid $5.65 for the drink!

As stated in the name, hokkaido milk is used which already, in my opinion, elevates the taste of the matcha latte. Sweetness is also just right! Would have preferred a bit more matcha powder to be added, but other than that I’m quite satisfied with the drink. Hits all the right spots for me – milky, smooth and with the slight bitter taste of matcha evenly mixed with the hokkaido milk!

Plus point, café staff very kindly helped me to transfer the remaining drink that I couldn’t finish to a takeaway cup at no extra surcharge 👍🏼

Ordered this via Grab self pick-up, and got 25% off + additional 15% off (with a $2 min. order)! Paid a total of $6.14 for the drink.

It’s a little sweet for my liking and the consistency of the drink is on the thicker side. Matcha powder doesn’t dissolve much when mixed with the fresh milk. Flavour profile is more on the milky side so if you like milky + thick consistency this could be your jam! Decent matcha latte at a reasonable price 👍🏼

Have heard a lot of good reviews for this place and finally gave it a try! What’s on the table:

• Mushroom Soup
• Wagyu Beef Sausage
• Crabmeat pasta (in white wine sauce)
• Crème Brulêe (not pictured)
• Iced white (not pictured)

Total bill: $63.67 🤯

Consistency for the Mushroom Soup is a little watery but it definitely did taste very earthy and it came accompanied with two crispy toasted slices of buttered baguette. The caramelised onions atop the beef patty were really good and complemented the medium rare beef patty well! The salad on the side was a bit too raw and bitter though. My boyfriend did not fancy the homemade sausage all that much but if you’re into peppery/herb-spiced sausages this would be up your alley. Crabmeat pasta was yummy but honestly not as amazing as I thought that it would be. Did not top up for their housemade tagliatelle (+$3) as the prices are pretty steep even with the BB deal… service charge is still included for the main that was not charged under the 1-for-1 BB deal.

The crème brulêe ($10) was really good though, not too small and comes with fresh cut strawberries and blueberries! 10/10 would order it again. Do be prepared to rack up quite a bill even with BB deal applied if you’re going to order side(s) in addition to your mains. Would come back again but probably only stick with ordering the mains applicable under the BB deal and that’s it. 🥲

Came here for a coffee run and have some nibbles for tea break! What’s on the table:

• Matcha Strawberry
• White (hot)
• Truffle fries

Have heard about the Matcha Strawberry and it definitely did not disappoint! The strawberry really elevated the flavour profile of the slightly bitter matcha latte – it seems a little bit creamier and with a hint of strawberry sweetness! White was good as well although the serving size could have been bigger. Truffle fries – decent café fare, shoestring fries used although it did get a bit oily for the fries at the bottom.

Would come back again to try out the brunch items!

Made a trip down to try out OMC’s brunch offerings and wasn’t disappointed! On the table:

• All-In Brekkie (scrambled eggs)
• All-In Brekkie (onsen eggs)
• Iced white
• Iced matcha latte

Total bill: $31.50

Personally preferred the onsen eggs pairing for the All-In Brekkie – the oozey yolk and soft whites served as a really nice eggy dip for the bacon and chorizo! Eat it all together in one bite with the buttered sourdough and sautéed mushrooms and it’s really just *chefs kiss* 😋 Iced matcha latte isn’t as sweet and carries some bitter notes from the matcha. A very hearty brunch at an affordable price tag with the Burpple deal.

Only gripe is that our request to have indoor seating once available was rejected 🥲 Outside seatings were by the alley and the ground isn’t level. On hot sunny days the area can get quite warm too! 🥵

Visited Sarnies on a weekday for lunch! What’s on the table:

• Salmon Cauliflower
• Chicken Parmigiana
• Iced matcha latte
• Iced flat white

Total bill: $32.50

Have not tried hummus before, and wasn’t really a fan of the hummus. But the salmon steak was cooked perfectly! Meat is tender and the skin was nicely seasoned and crisp. As for the Chicken Parmigiana, the chicken was a little tough but for the price it’s very value-for-money considering the size of the chicken fillet served. Both the Matcha latte and the Flat white was very smooth and milky! Would definitely come back again if to try the weekend brunch items. One Burpple deal applies for the entire bill, it’s worth it!

Staff was very nice to offer menu recommendations and also provided us with indoor seating as requested once there were seats available :-)

What we ordered:
• Black Pepper Beef Pasta
• Truffle Cheese Pasta
• Iced matcha latte
• Iced Hojicha latte

Total price: $25 ($12.50/pax)

Truffle cheese pasta had a light truffle aroma and the mushrooms were well seasoned! Black pepper beef pasta tasted a little sour-ish? Not sure if it’s supposed to be the intended flavour profile, but the tagliatelle pasta itself was nice and soft. Iced hojicha latte was fragrant and lightly sweet, the iced matcha latte on the other hand was not sweet at all (literally just matcha powder and milk). Recommend to get the lattes with ice cream as it costs the same whether you opt for the ice cream or not ($6+$1 for iced version and $7 for iced version AND ice cream). Worth a try but probably would not visit again for the mains! 😅
