Wimbly Lu @ Jalan Riang

Decided to cafe hopped with Mum which led us to Wimbly Lu as our stop. Located at Jalan Riang, it's a little inconvenient to go by public transport, around 10-15 minutes walk from Nex, Serangoon. One of the most beautiful cafes around, with a lovely concept to boot. Set in the
middle of a quiet, peaceful Serangoon suburb, Wimbly Lu looks postcard perfect. The backyard of the shophouse has been converted into a kind of glasshouse, which lights up the cafe in the day and provides a lovely natural-light glow.






Lemon Meringue Pie ($7+) I’ve been craving for this for as long. The Lemon Meringue Pie was tangy and real sour. Definitely not for the sweet toothed but it was just the way we liked it. Mum thought that the crust of the pie could have been slightly more flavourful, but I was fine with it! The lemon flavour is also quite strong so if you're a lemon person, go for this! The crust was not too hard nor too soft, just right enough to complement the rest of the tart. I don’t know how they made it but it’s perfect! It just crumbles in your mouth you know.



The Double Chocolate Cheesecake ($6+) was sticky and rich in cheese, but on the dry side. Same goes for the chocolate crust which was too dry and crumbly.  We love the Cheesecake here. It was neither too cheesy, nor it too thick and creamy. It was just nice with a nice hint of chocolate at the bottom.

Root Beer Cake ($6+) :: It looks like a brownie but when you put it in your mouth, the rush of root beer greets you refreshingly. It felt like root beer in solid form but not to the extent of overpowering of the flavour. Have it with a scoop of the accompanying vanilla ice-cream and feel that wondrous, sinful mix of magic in your mouth. If you like root beer, you’ll like this.



I ordered the Grand Slam ($15+), which had chipolata sausages, bacon, grilled tomato, hash brown, scrambled eggs, walnut bread and a small glass of fresh orange juice. I love meals with variety. The scrambled eggs were of a consistency between egg mayo and half-boiled eggs. Cream and butter was mixed it of course, for that fluffy finish. I loved it. Toasted walnut bread deserves a thumbs up too, but I’m not sure whether they actually made their own bread or bought it from somewhere. No doubt, everything else on the plate like the sausages were ready bought from supplier and not much work had to be done. It’s a simple dish though, and it’s complicated getting everything assembled at the same time and temperature.





This is the place to get the chocolate craving fixed. With chocolate done perfectly, what it needs now is an element of unpredictability (in a favorable way) and new surprises. Really thanks Mum for accompanying me to this awesome cafe (:
