The Short Review
Price Range: $11-$14
Nearest MRT: one-north
Instagrammability: High -
Colourful walls, inside & out.
Tiny space reflects its "to-go" spirit, with all dine-in food items served in paper boxes to minimize cleanup.
Though this rather well-lit corner joint may be shrouded in construction dust, management quipped that "come 16 October, Lee Hsien Loong has to walk across that bridge. They have to get it done by then, right?"
Food:
1) Brie, Honey Ham & Truffle Mascarpone Croissant [$7.50]
Deceivingly stale-looking, sitting all mummified in a display fridge, this reheated pastry resurrects into a decent, crisp & tasty light lunch.
2) Breakfast Burger [$6.00]
Stuffed with scrambled egg, sundried tomatoes & generous bacon jam from a superior OMC dish from its sister outlets, the BB's worth the money, though the Croissant does feel more luxurious.
3) Hot Chocolate [$5.00]
A small cup of chocolate goodness. Vertically dusted with cocoa.
4) Iced Chocolate [$6.00]
Significantly more dilute than its warmer counterpart, as if the same amount of solute was added to a larger cup of ice.
Though signatures like its Gashouse Eggs & Brioche French Toast will be missed, OMC's effort to create an entirely different menu for an entirely different (working) crowd should be appreciated, being both rather economical as an atas coffee break & easy to-go.
