SWAG is an all-new salad bar situated in The Commerze at Irving Place. They aim to promote healthy eating that doesn't compromise on taste by offering an array of gourmet salads and wraps at affordable prices. Signature salads include the Greek Apple (turkey ham, bacon bits and green apples with maple bacon dressing), Salmonlicious (smoked salmon with wasabi miso dressing) and the Seafood Galore (calamari and cajun prawns with sambalnaise dressing ($7.90-$9.90).
Not to mention their amazingly easy drinking beers from LA. Adding to fun is a DIY pizza where we've greedily slathered on shaved prosciutto, roasted squash, cherry tomatoes and crunchy toasted pine nuts on a bed of pesto, topped with Manchego and mozzarella (because you should really have both together). It turned out even better than the signature crab pizza we had! 🍕😋💕
both of us had bread cravings for dinner and we had a hard time finding (within-our-budget) eateries offering meal with bread in vivo. walked past alfafa situated at the 2nd floor and we were immediately drawn in. despite its small storefront, their sandwiches are definitely rich in variety, flavour and health. they offer a wide variety of bread/wrap - multigrain, wholemeal, etc. but I tried their rye bread along with black pepper chicken and it was SO delicious. the thick and hearty sandwich is filled with flavorful chicken, abundance of crunchy veggies and just the right amount of thousand island sauce giving it a flavour burst. price was very reasonable as with a $9.90 set you get to enjoy the 2 slices of sandwich, their freshly-baked muffin (with a choice of chocolate chip/blueberry) and a refreshing cup of handicraft ice lemon tea. the auntie was also very very friendly and bubbly. will certainly visit again to try their other sandwiches such as sweet and sour prawn and cured salmon, and definitely recommended for a hearty, healthy and (super) yummy meal!!!
i tried 雷茶 once but the in-your-face raw veg smell simply puts me off. this totally hits home for me. well balanced and not too empowering. puts u in a damnnnn good mood after chowing this down too! what can i say, am a convert!
Pillows of thick and fluffy brioche are first egged-up before being fried to a gorgeous golden brown. They are then served with fruit and a mini jug of aromatic vanilla cream sauce. I like that they venture away from the ubiquitous maple syrup because that vanilla sauce and the French toast sure make sweet music together.
What went down very well for me was the scrambled eggs with scallion cream cheese. Loved how little chunks of the creamy, savoury cheese would suddenly announce their presence in the most delicious way whilst I was munching on the eggs. The mixed leaves salad and smoked salmon were delightful too.
What I wasn't that fond of was the struggle cutting through the bagel (which by the way there's only half of per serving). Yeah, bagels are kind of chewy, and maybe my knife was in a TGIF mood or something because it took forever to saw a piece off. Perhaps a better plating idea is to perch the bagel on top of everything else. So diners can simply pick it up, hold it in one hand to bite, while forking up the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon with the other. That's what I did and it worked very well :)
A key attraction of dining at Riders Cafe is how relaxed and pretty the whole area is. Being surrounded by open spaces of greenery is rare in Singapore, so it is quite a treat.
I was torn between the Chicken Rendang and Eggs Royale but in the end, the latter's "Recommended" tag in the menu swayed me.
Instead of the typical English muffin/brioche base, their eggs were served on Turkish bread which worked nicely too. Hollandaise sauce was very slightly sweet, flavourful and not overly creamy. As for the salad, they dressed it up with the ever-popular Japanese sesame sauce.
My verdict: Although decent, it's rather pricey at $20. What's worth noting though is that it's available from 8.30am daily. So those with early morning cravings for Eggs Ben now have a place to go.
When Chef Bjorn Shen gives his distinct spin on pancake, I sit up and listen, and make sure I order a serving. Trust him to mix things up and push out a cool (also in terms of temperature) version of it.
A single, large, 1-inch thick pancake comes piled with a generous heap of smoked salmon slices and creamy egg mayo salad. On all that then goes Jim Beam whisky-enhanced sour cream, shaved onions, wasabi pea "dukka" (an Egyptian blend of flavoured and toasted nuts) followed by a drizzle of orange blossom honey.
The recommended way to eat this is to slice through the stack vertically, so you get all the flavours in every mouthful. I did just that and (no kidding) I was rolling my eyes with pleasure over every luscious mouthful.
If you fancy a warm grilled sandwich, this is pretty good. The crisp bread complements the ham and melted cheese squished inside, while the tasty sweet sauce adds a spark to the savouriness.
Those fries should come with a warning label; they are terribly addictive! Being super crunchy and flavour-packed, they also prove to be a magnet for hungry fingers that aren't yours.
I have to say, this is one fluffy Brioche French Toast. The Brioche is sliced very thick -- I estimate it to be slightly more than one inch -- before its transformation into the yummy French Toast. Besides maple syrup, each serving comes with little dishes of mixed berries compote and whipped vanilla bean cream.
Service at this branch however, has some room for improvement. Never underestimate the importance of tone and manner in communication, people.
