Brunch @ ButterScotch Cafe (Bukit Merah)

First thing first on the first day of 2016 was to enjoy a brunch with bestie! Read much about ButterScotch Cafe near the area but there wasn't a common time to meet up there till today! So there we hopped to on Jan the first!

We reached pretty early and were the first customer of the day. They do have a lunch promotion which starts at 11am. The service crew was very nice and informed us of the promotion when we made our order at 10.50am. They said they could on hold the payment after 11 am though we can still go ahead to make our order so that they can prepare the food. Really appreciative of their kind gesture and service. Do take note that some food items are not included in the promotion. Check it out if you want to enjoy it - $15 for a main dish and a cup of drink. 

I ordered the Chili Crab Cake Burger with potato wedges and a cup of flat white while Bestie ordered the French Toast and a cup of Mocha. 

The Chili Crab cake patty was real soft, topped up with the sweet and spicy chili sauce. The bread was soft too. I spread the chili crab cake on the bread and ate it. I figured out that's the best way to enjoy it. The accompanying potato wedges was nice too. Bite it and it is like mashed potato, simply 'melted' in your mouth. 

The French Toast is another great dish, with slabs of turkey bacon and caramelized banana. An indulgence of  sweet and salty made one savor in delight .

ButterScotch is a Muslim-owned bakery and café which is small and cozy cafe. The interior made one feels like home and we had  a great time bonding there. There aren't many people there in the morning so we were able to hog on to the table. Well, we were very full after the meal! and will I be back? 

Definitely! To try out the desserts, the churros, the truffle fries!! See ya around!

Waffles @ Craftsmen Specialty Coffee

Coffee cafes are really brewing in Singapore. Was out in the Eastern part of Singapore and found Craftsmen Specialty Coffee quietly tucked in a corner. I guess I will never notice its existence if not that I passed by on the other side of the road. 

Weekday is really the best time for cafe hopping as it is not especially crowded. You get to choose seats, you get to people watch and you get the time to slowly take your order. 

Finally I decided to go for the waffles as they were not serving the croissants that day. "Sunshine" is the name to the waffles where yogurt and berries added to the taste. Wasn't really the fluffy kind of waffles but the healthier choice of yogurt and berries made the overall experience a nice one.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do - so at a coffee cafe, drink a cup of coffee? Well, I did not. Blame it on the hot weather outside, I seriously needed a cold smoothie - sweet and cold to ease the hotness and stickiness!

Okay, will I be back? Definitely, to try out their coffee and did I mentioned, they do sell craft beer too. A beer and a brunch, how good does that sound? Be there, soon, I hope!

Roti Prata and Milk Tea @ Casuarina Curry

Off to Upper Thomson for prata and there we were at Casuarina Curry. 

Since we were at a prata shop, we went for plain roti prata (aka roti prata kosong). This is the best way to find out the standard of the chef. Not the best prata I had, but it was not too bad. It was crispy on the outside but not that fluffy inside. Dipped into the curry to taste better. Added a milk tea to the meal to complete it.

Anyway, besides prata, Casuarina Curry also offers a large range of other Indian food such as Briyani, Murtabak as well as plenty of drinks. Everything is all priced very reasonably!

Will I be back? Yes, maybe for the other Indian food and maybe for the tidbits shop that is next door!

Brunch @ W39 Bistro & Bakery

Read about W39 Bistro & Bakery over the internet but find it too far to visit just to have brunch. Not sure if it was a blessing or bad luck that I need to work on Sunday at Clementi area. I just have to say that fate brought me to this cozy home-style bistro.

The place is not very big and was pretty crowded when I reached. Luckily I got a table quick enough. Here's the breakfast menu that is available only on weekends and public holidays, from opening till 3pm. The hearty breakfast grabbed my attention.

While waiting for my food, I took a photo of this cakes & pastries corner of the shop. Cakes, my favourite but as I was alone, my stomach could not afford extra space to have one. I shall be back to try out their cakes, they look good!

Cakes & Pastries Corner

Here's my Hearty Breakfast which consists of Eggs, Mushrooms, Tomatos, Bacon, Sausage, Greens and Toast. A big portion, totally worth the price. Let me start off with the Toast. It is evenly toasted - soft and easy to chew. The butter and jam complemented it well though it tasted great alone or with the egg yolk. As for the tomato, it was well grilled but a pity, there was only one tomato on the plate. The sauteed mushrooms was great. I loved the bacon the most. They tasted great. Unfortunately, the egg yolks were a bit well done but overall, this breakfast was fantastic. Oh, I think you can decide on the type of eggs you like - I saw someone ordering scrambled eggs.

If you are thinking of going in a group, I reckon that you call to make reservation before popping by. This is to avoid disappointment. Will be back to try out their mains and especially the CAKES!
