Coffeeshop

New menu for Burpple beyond in October! No longer mixed grill but this month, Colin’s offer is its signature chicken chop which comes with corn cob, German sausage, spaghetti aglio olio, salad and tomato soup. Price is $16 + 0.30 takeaway. With Burpple 1-1, I paid $16.60 which is quite a steal! I didn’t realise there were so many foodpanda and grab riders, my wait was exactly half an hour from the time I put in my order. Collin’s strategy of going into coffeeshops make business sense as during the pandemic, to survive one must cut down on operating costs. And one of the biggest ticket item is rental. With less dining in nowadays, most do not need ambience, they just pack and go. Smart of Collin’s to venture out and immerse themselves in the heartlands.

After trying the stall at West Coast, I ordered these from Tampines for my friends. With 2 sets of 1-1 Mixed Grill and 1 ala carte Aglio Olio, the total cost is only $39.50. Which works out to be $7.90 only. The serving is extremely generous and good that mixed gril can choose between black pepper or mushroom sauce. My friends commented that the greens maybe too little. But overall still the best value for money. Wish that different locations can have different selection so that we get to try different types of Western Food.

Didn’t know Collin’s has a sub-branch at coffee shops. Found this at 501 West Coast Drive (just behind the food centre). Was there for dinner and we were surrounded by the uncles having their rounds of beer. A few tables were also eating the same western food as us. Price is fantastic. For 1-1, my total cost for two mixed grill = $15 instead of $30. The portions were very generous. They also run 1-1 promo for other takeaways only at a higher price of $22. Will be back to try their other branches since it’s 1-1. Wish they have more variety besides mixed grill and chicken funghi aglio olio.
