Hey guys! So it's me again. Yeah busy busy start of the year but since it's the Chinese New Year holiday why not do some updates?
Right after New Year's Day I met up with YL and well we had fun. This is probably one of the coolest things I will remember for life: bicycle cafe hopping– a combination of two things I love to do. We started by renting bikes at ECP and made our way around the Katong area.
First stop: Chin Mee Chin Coffee & Cake Shop
Specialty: Custard puffs and sugee cakes (unfortunately didn't get to try that)
Meluvs: I'm not a fan of custard but this was creamy and light. Not too sweet and the pastry itself was really good. I also tried the butter cream swirl– pastry was great too but cream a bit too buttery for my taste.
Notes: Try to come earlier. There are many people who come here in the mornings for coffee and their eggs and pastries so it's really difficult to get a seat. (We just bought take-aways as there was a really long line outside just to get in.)
Address: 204 East Coast Road Singapore 428903
Butter cream swirl and custard puff
We continued to cycle around East Coast Park for a while. (Actually it was to scout area F for my BBQ)
Second stop: Bar Bar Black Sheep (Tanjong Katong outlet)
Specialty: Butter Chicken and curries
Meluvs: We couldn't stay long but I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan. I wanted more. If we weren't in a rush I would stay there all day and keep eating it. The butter chicken has a really good sauce and it was just mouthwatering. Naan was nice and soft too. Great with the chicken.
Notes: There are two other outlets. Yes that's right–one more at Bukit Timah and at Robertson Quay. They are bigger than the outlet we visited and offer a wider range of food so I'd want to check them out if possible. (You might want to do that too)
Address: 362 Tanjong Katong Road Singapore 437122
Contact: 6348 8275
Last stop: With a Pinch of Salt (Not too far away from Bar Bar Black Sheep)
Specialty: Chocolate souffle, Jumbo Chick's Leg (large portions and affordable prices)
Meluvs: Cute and vibrant atmosphere makes for a happy eating experience. I was looking forward to having dessert here but when I heard that their chocolate souffle was not available we had to settle with the lava cake. It did suffice however I was disappointed with the cheese fries because I had expected something special for having to pay $7-8 for one serving.
Notes: Try out their mains. My friends have given good reviews about this place about how they have large portions and reasonable prices around $11-14 for food which tastes pretty good too.
