Here comes February and a precious Chinese New Year break with my family! In case you are still not aware, one of my hobbies is cafe hopping, partly because I am a daytime person and caffeine lover (as opposed to a night owl and alcohols never bring as much happiness as coffee/tea does).
Today, my post will feature 3 cafes, with 2 located at Thomson area and 1 in Buona Vista. Unfortunately, while being a hipster place, Thomson is not accessible by MRT yet until we have our Thomson line in place in the near future. Let's get started!
Address: 215F Upper Thomson Rd, Singapore 574349
Opening hours: Mon to Fri: 10am to 11pm; Sat: 8am to 11pm; Sun: 8am to 6pm; closed on Tuesdays
Not near to any MRT station
Discount from Eatigo: 50% (Prices quoted below are prior to discount)
(+) Good coffee, nice ambiance with natural light, food is decent, good coffee
(-) Nothing in particular
Nothing better than brightening up your Sunday morning with a hearty brunch in a cozy cafe? You have to give the signature duck confit hash a try. You will be delighted to find the duck was cooked to perfection with the right amount of seasonings. Overall, I was satisfied with my visit to Birdy's.
Duck confit hash ($18)
Eggs on toast ($11) and latte ($5.50).
Add on mushrooms ($3)
Dumplings Cafe
Address: 301 Upper Thomson Rd, #01–57, Singapore 574408
Opening hours:
Not near to any MRT station
Discount from Fave: $21.80 for 2 main courses and 2 drinks
(+) Creative menu featuring Chinese-Western fusions, healthy comfort food, big portion for milkshakes (++ point for me), friendly staffs
(-) Daytime cafe as it closes early even during weekend, the eggs benedict was slightly overcooked
We reached the cafe at 7pm and coffees are no longer available. I was kinda upset because I had been looking forward for my daily caffeine fix. Although not stated on the fave deal,the kind staff offered us choices of any beverage on the menu. The milkshakes were so good that it was lucky for us to arrive late. Would definitely love to try their colourful (the skins are in fact naturally dyed with vegetables) next time!
Signature homemade mala beef with grains (need to top up $3). I did like the mala beef but not the pickles that came with it.
Smoked duck eggs benedict. The eggs weren't as runny as I expected but the smoked duck was flavourful and tasty.
Lean Bento
Address: 43 Holland Drive, #01-49, 270043
Opening hours: Weekdays: 11am to 8pm; Weekend: 10am to 6pm
Nearest MRT: Buona Vista
No discount from app
(+) Healthy comfort food, big portion, chicken was cooked perfectly, halal-certified
(-) Can get extremely crowded and waiting time can be long during lunch hours
Was having course in Buona Vista and my groupmate happened to find this by chance. Glad that it didn't disappoint as I thought it was an expensive meal for lunch! This place seems very popular among office workers. They do take delivery online as well. If you just feel like eating clean on one day, this place will be a good option. :)
Herb Crust Chicken Bento ($12.80) that comes with brown rice, scrambled eggs and plenty of greens.
I ordered a set with hot matcha milk. I think the drink was okay only.
