Wednesday Cafe-hopped: Sunday Market
Lets just say that I really enjoyed cafe-hunting with my friends, especially on a mid-week because it is telling me that weekend is dropping by to say HI to me. And also to pamper myself after these 3 long days at work. Not like there were lots of work to be done, but at least I get to stay away from my computer screen to have a catch up session with the girls.
Met up with my 2 of my netballer girls for our new cafe hunt which was just so near to our area. Finally, they opened more cafes at the North-east estate. There's more reason for us to meet up for dinner!
Dinner was at Sunday Market, so strongly recommended by danielfooddiary from his 20 new cafe post.
The cafe was located at LIM TUA TOW! This street name can be a joke to us ( In Hokkien, it means BIG HEAD) and we were wondering why there is such street name in Singapore. Not only they have a weird street name, the cafe was located at the inner corner along the whole street of furniture shops. It will be difficult for some people to locate it if you are not staying nearby.
But finally, with a great piece of mind, we managed to find the cafe. We took from bus 82 Serangoon bus stop, alighted 1 stop later and walked the rest of the route by foot.
It wasn't hard to find because from far, we saw their striking red signboard shinning at us.
We simply love how comical their poster was. With lots of instagram #hashtags to fill in when you are uploading pictures of their food or cafe ambiance. It could be a good backdrop for photo taking too!
And this is what we did. HAHA, with the help of my mono stick to capture the backdrop behind. A good handy tool for people who love to camwhore like us.
Stepped inside the cafe and we were like WOW, got the feel of a mini garden. it has vines creeping on the wall and the plant pot lying around on the tables.
I wondered having a vintage bike is so trending at cafe now? There were cafes that I have been to were also decorated with their bikes on the walls, Sunday market has it too.
I always look forward to their dessert shelves and patronize it whenever I stepped into the cafe to see what is on their display for today. What I could see for the 'çake for the day' are red velvet, cheese cake and chocolate fudge. Not really appealing to me.
Menu are simple yet easy to look at! They squeeze all their menu food and drinks on 2 pages of cardboard paper?! Thats a good way of saving earth!
Here to our drinks for today:
We ordered their famous Thai Iced Milk Tea, Organic Apple Guava and also Matcha Latte.
I love their Thai Milk Tea, it somehow reminds me of the Thai iced that I had in BKK. That thick and sweet milk simply made my day. But paying ($7) for this cup of drink could really burnt my pocket.
Matcha Latte ($7) was good because I could taste the aroma of the green tea and the foam of milk layer did not cover up the whole Matcha taste. Apple guava ($5.90) was so refreshing too!
Their Skinny wings and Truffle fries ($6.90) was their only appetizer. Wings sticks marinated in house spices, deep fried till crispy and accompanied by shoestring fries tossed in truffle oil with Aioli and Thai chilli sauce.
Quite stingy for their portion but the wings were surprisingly good. They have marinated the wings well with the spices and herbs.
Seafood aglio olio ($14.90)
Mixed seafood in chilli oil, seafood broth, garlic, chilli, crispy fish flakes, mussels and prawns with spaghetti.
The dish can be a little too oily for females out there due to the chilli oil. But the whole dish was whipped out with a good liking by us. I specially love their crispy fish flakes.
We also order waffles in their Menu and chose their fried chicken waffles ( $11.90) .
Crispy fried chicken tenders with chitpotle maple drizzle, sweet and creamy slaw.
This was first served on our table but because of the long wait for the rest of the dish to arrive, the waffles became soften. So we couldn't bite through the crispiness of the waffles. The chicken was left soft too.
We had to get ourselves the famous Bangkok Toast ($10.90) which was a cinnamon thick sweet brioche toast with Matcha Green Tea custard, served with Thai milk tea ice-cream. The brioche
was little dry at the surface but moist within. Strongly recommended by others but I thought that it could be better.
Well, the mains here are really good. But the desserts were slightly disappointing. Then again, these desserts have very unique taste. So perhaps you will be able to appreciate them better.
