A strenuous yet fun journey for the owner of Professor Brawn, Mr Roland Tay, the cafe was started not just as a social enterprise but something really close to his heart. The worried father left the corporate world in late 2008 with no regrets, to begin possible business ventures that would allow him to serve the special-needs community and especially to help his autistic son’s integration into society. Thus, with the move came the start of Professor Brawn Cafe.

Affordable and good, the aim is to provide employment opportunities and empower people of different abilities as well as socio-economic backgrounds, yet by no means comprising the quality of service and food. With a nice selection of classic western fare, I found the grub to be both comforting and hearty. I enjoyed the Grilled Chicken with Truffle Sauce ($12.90), served with a generous portion of potato wedges and salad tossed with their homemade dressing. The wedges were crisp and well seasoned, perfect to wipe up the sauce. Another dish worth your buck is the Gourmet Sausage with Rosti ($14.90) complemented with their special homemade tangy-sweet cream dip.
