Working For Food This cafe is snuggled along Arab Street. We had the lunch set. There are 3 different sets. For each set, they offer different food options. It comes with a canned drink. Or for $2, you can choose fruit juice, iced tea or hot coffee. 1. Work Hard Lunch Set at $12 2. Work Harder Lunch Set at $14 3. Work Hardest Lunch Set at $16 I took the Work Hardest Lunch Set with the Cheese & Whiskers burger: Grilled beef patty with emmental, mesclun, mild cheddar, mozzarella, swiss, tomatoes and lemon garlic sauce. It was so good. You could add on sunny side up egg or turkey bacon. A la carte costs $20 so the set is definitely worth it. The iced tea was weird, as I can’t taste what kind of tea it was. But it was not bad, still drinkable. I ordered sides too, Ribena Wings. WHAT!? $12. Spiced and battered chicken drumlets (7) drizzled with reduced Ribena sauce. To be honest, I did not enjoy it. If it was fresh of the fryer, maybe it would have tasted better. So I just kept dipping it in chilli sauce to mask the taste. Ok, so another dish under their Brunch Menu till 5pm. WORKING BIG BREAKFAST $22 Grilled beef patty, beech mushrooms, focaccia, scrambled eggs, tater tots and turkey bacon with mixed greens. Boy, was it pleasing to the eyes and tastebuds. We ordered smoothies well at $9 each. It was good but quite pricey for a small size: 1. COOKIE NOMSTER Cookie goodness in a glass with oreos, milk and vanilla topped with Cookies & Cream ice cream 2. MONKEY BUSINESS Get all up in this banana business with vanilla and milk topped with Banana Nut Crunch ice cream

Honey Butter Cinnamon $5.9 In the middle of the toast contain vanilla ice cream with whipped cream on top. Din quite like it. The base of the toast was hard. Not enough ice cream/syrup to dip the big toast.

Salty Mr Brown $12.9 It was yummy. But the drink inside finish up fast cose ice cream inside took up half the space

Halal Bingsu, Shakes and Toasts Icebox is a popular halal cafe that serves halal Korean bingsu, shakes and thick toasts. The servings are huge which makes it great for sharing. Please read my review at www.hungryghost.sg

Banana Split Baby Dutch Pancakes ($6 for 10) Dropped by EATBOX last week to check the food festival out! I had Cake Love’s Banana Split Baby Dutch Pancakes, which consisted of 10 mini pancakes, some thinly sliced bananas, a dollop of whipped cream, brown syrup and powdered sugar. This is decadence right there, but I’m not complaining since it is carnival food, and everyone knows it’s made for the purpose of indulging. (7.1/10) 😍😂

Rainbow Cheesecake! A legit tasting cheesecake! Not too dense or too light, and it's so pretty too! Rainbow colours. At this Halal, cafe across from the Lab SG And next to Fluff bakery is this cosy Cake Love, with free wifi, beautiful cakes and a nett prices menu, it's a great place to chill out!

Cake Love The desserts actually taste much better than they look!! My friends and I shared churros, Creme brulee and deconstructed tiramisu for less than $25. I'd rate the desserts a 3.5/5 :)

Burger Kahwin [~$22.90] A little on the charred side if you can still spot the egg. Aside, this is some power packed burger with 2 patties - beef and lamb.

Seafood Spaghetti Aglio Olio [$18.90] Pricey, but was a pretty good plate with prawns, squid and mussels. Spaghetti was al dente, not too oily and had a generous hand of garlic. Skip their mushroom soup though, as it was unfortunately thin and a little too bland.

Smoked Duck Avocado [$19.90] Don’t think I’ve had avocado in my pastas before, but this worked out pretty well! Smoked duck slices were tender and came in a good portion. They grated cheese on top too, so you get a little of that stretchy cheesy finish.

Beef Ramen Passing this busy street for so many years, this is actually my first time visiting this Halal Japanese restaurant. Ordered their beef ramen and felt a bit disappointed. The broth itself was delicious but not strong enough to me for how a ramen broth supposed to be. Thankfully the beef slices are tender enough to enjoy. But sadly not a decent ramen that would make me want to come back.

Volcano Ramen Spicy Level 3 (Tori Paitan) 🥢 Served with "Volcano" Chilli paste, marinated minced Chicken, Chicken Chashu, Corn Niblets, Nameko Mushrooms, Seaweed, Green Onions and a Hanjuku Egg 🧾 SGD$11.90 ✍🏻 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆〘0/10〙 💬 So I initially ate this bowl of noodles a couple of months back, but I was reluctant to post it because that was actually my first time eating halal ramen and it was not good, albeit the decent reviews online. I felt that it was unfair of me to judge without having tried other halal places yet, at least for a comparison before criticising. Now fast forward a few months and having tried others, it is safe to say that my previous criticism was not unwarranted. One of the key components of ramen would be the ramen noodles of course, and when the noodles are bad it is hard to salvage the meal. I do not know what happened but these noodles were soft, overcooked and the opposite of springy. Their texture reminded me of noodles from those Chinese lamian foodcourt stalls. The broth was also barely satisfactory, tasting rather mild even though it had this creamy look and milky flavour. The "Volcano" chilli was not spicy even at level 3, definitely underwhelming if you are a spice lover. The only thing I liked were the marinated minced chicken but I cannot justify paying $12 for that. Frankly, I am still rather hesitant in adding this into my ramen log as I did not feel like I actually ate ramen. However since they do call this Japanese ramen, it will therefore be rated as one.

Chicken Floss Cutlet Roll $10.90 Had the Chicken Floss Cutlet Sushi roll together with the Signature Volcano Chincken Ramen ($11.90). L2 spice level was just right. Food taste pretty decent for the price

Brunch, anyone? Love how balance this plate is! The egg is creamy and the bacon gives that crispy texture and savoury coat. #igotfoodcoma #burpple

Geisha (half-portion $14.90 nett) 🍕 ⭐️ 4.5/5 ⭐️ 🍴A unique and delicious Japanese-Western fusion pizza comprising Norwegian smoked salmon, burnt (more like charred) broccoli, bonito & mentaiko mayo spread. Fans of #mentaiko like me would love the harmonious pairing of the sauce with the salmon and bonito. The pizza crust was neither too thin or thick, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. $14.90 for half a pizza is a bit pricey but it was filling & deserves a try for the novelty of flavors ⚠️ The cafe is certified #halal #halalfoodsg 📍@hydeandco, 785 North Bridge Road, S198753 (near Bugis MRT)

Kaya French Toast Waited 45 mins for this; off-peak, barely a few tables occupied. Very 'eggy' bread (the ones we whip up for a last min breakfast) , sour kaya ganache that not only has a weird colour, but taste and texture, desiccated coconut that's reminiscent of phoon huat packaged ones. The saving grace was the ice cream and that splash of Gula Melaka. Not too sweet but the elements just do not blend well. I had to pair everything with the ice cream to get some sense of what the dish was dreaming to be like. $15.90. I'll rather go for the real deal that's one decimal place behind.

Red Velvet Cake >$5 Cake was good and yummy. I think fix is only good at their desert section.

Fried Chicken With Green Chilli Set >$12 Barely tasted the chicken. A lot of batter added to the chicken. I know they trying to make it crispy but not like that. And the green chilli sauce was okay. Nothing fantastic. Disappointing.

Salmon Set >$20 It looks pathetic and tasted the same. Not buying that ever again. Miss their old menu which include naanwich etc. Now it's just like every other cafes selling basic food.

Putu Piring Cake ($11.50) TMC's Dunlop outlet felt slightly cramp if you compare it to their Bussorah or Esplanade joints, but their cakes were still on point. Had the Putu Piring cake slice, which was generously sprinkled with coconut gratings and filled with luscious palm sugar syrup. Slightly diabetes-inducing but what a good way to end off the night.

Ondeh Ondeh and Durian Cake Looks good, tastes even better!

Amazing Halal Food $114 for 4 person. Food were simply amazing, one of the best halal restaurant I've been to. Items were on the expensive side but the portions are so huge it can be shared by 2 per mains. And they gave us free wings and 2 chocolate cake. Staff was super attentive too, she helped us refill the water many times. Highly recommended!!
