First up, today it's Rise & GrindCo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cafe is tucked away in a corner and it was rather small in size nevertheless, the ambience was rather nice. We got the outside seats due to full house indoors. Just remember that it will be rather humid if you're going to sit outside on a hot and sunny afternoon! We ordered the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($17) and the Nacho Libre Burger($16). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The Tom Yum Seafood Pasta in my opinion is packed with a punch of flavor. Not only was the pasta al-dente, the sauce was adequate with a balance of sour, spice and creamy. The prawns and squids were nice but just a tad bit overcooked. Mussels was decent. I feel that this tom yum pasta was even better than 49 seats which supposingly claims to be one of the best? But my experience didn't tells me so.
Next up, the Nacho Libre Burger. It's a very interesting concept to put chips in a burger which gives a different texture to the burger itself. The salsa and guacamole was quite nice and not too overpowering. The chicken patty is grilled nicely without being too dry. All in all, this burger is quite unique, but I still felt that the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta top it off.
One critic only, we topped up extra $3 (I think) to change the fries to truffle fries. But it taste nothing close to truffle fries. So if you're going to dine there, just skip the truffle fries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do order their cold press juice! ($6.50) I believe they don't manufacture it but whoever did, it was a super refreshing drink for such a humid weather in S'pore.
Do note that you have to make your way to the counter to have your order placed, and also self service with the cutleries and water. However, they do not charged any service charge or GST so why not? The prices are very affordable with the quality of the food they serve. Instagram: takemefeedme
