Habitat Coffee X TGIF

Pretty love how steady my colleague is. I was merely telling her that I'm craving for waffles ice cream and she, herself was craving for truffles fries so I tried my luck by asking her if she wants to have dinner together. And YES, she agreed! 

But because our knock-off timing was different ( + she was held up by our principal for some urgent slides), it resulted to having to wait for her for 2 hours. This two hours spent at my office and also travelling down to her campus to look for you. Oh well, since its a TGIF. A little wait never kills.



We travelled down to Upper thomson, Habitat coffee which sells both Waffles and Truffle fries ( 2 in 1), we don't have to travel for 2 places for our craving. Upon arriving, I saw cakes displaying on the shelves and got me drooling/ tempting me to order everything on the shelves but still my priority is WAFFLES.

I was disappointed by their all day breakfast which ended at 5.30pm ): Aren't that those office ladies and gentlemen won't get to eat as they end their work after 6pm? They should adjust their brunch menu to all day!



Truffle al funghi ($17)
Creamy truffle wild mushroom pasta with baby spinach
Fresh baby spinach was placed on top of the creamy spaghetti. This was perhaps too creamy for my liking and a bowl like this can be too costly given by their ingredients.



Truffle fries ($9)
The truffle fries was drizzled with fine grated parmesan. It doesn't has the strong truffle smell compared to the one that I had at P.S cafe. But of course, it was pretty big in portion and given by the acceptable price, it was all good! Was told by Ying Wei that she was disappointed with the truffle fries.



Waffles with a scoop of sea salt caramel ice cream ($8)

I can't tell how good can a waffles is. The best waffles I had would be Sunday Folks/ Creamier! Other than that, the rest wouldn't compete with them so i will not compliment that their waffles is good but at least I love their ice-cream.

Cafe-hopped// Habitat Coffee


Woke up pretty much earlier to be a delivery woman. HAH, travelled down to the a West to deliver a cupcake to a friend and trained back to Yishun to look for my Yishun-er gang. Wore my more comfy outfit for today. A zebra + leopard prints of top with a black skort from idemmoda. 


Everyone knows that Upper Thomson Road is the place to go for food; from desserts to coffee to brunch and even local delights; that is the place to go for your wildest food fantasies. So with the company of my Yishun gang, we chose Habitat coffee as our preference choice. Could never be so happy to meet up with them especially I love having brunch with 3-4 person. Y'know more people around, you will tend to order more. And that's what we did.

Habitat has a self-ordering system, so you decide what to get, then order and pay up at the cashier. This explained why they didn't include any GST and Service Charge. However, despite not paying for their service charge, the food/drinks will still be served to you! So I would like a thumb up for their good service!







                                                               Eggs Benedict ($12)
(Poached eggs and honey baked ham on sundried tomato bread topped with hollandaise sauce)
You could tempt me anytime with this dish - two beautifully poached eggs sitting above the crisp toasts and that sweet and savoury honey baked ham with that hollandaise sauce. My friend tried this for the first time and wolfed it all down! The eggs were poached nicely; the egg yolk flowed out onto the muffin. The toast was crisp and delicious and complemented well with the two poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce was flavourful; overall it was a wonderfully prepared dish back to the basics.




Chef's recommendation - The Big Ben ($14)

Scrambled egg Benedict on english fluff, chicken swiss cheese sausage, grilled tomato and mashed potatoes. 
We absolutely love this, the entire combination was perfect for our palates. Though the scrambled egg is not the creamy type which I prefers, I love the texture of this as well, which is more firm. This is definitely the best breakfast plate I've ever eaten.
Do give this a try if you're looking for something filling. 



Mama’s Banana Pancakes ($10)
The portion was hearty for the stomach but the caramelised banana was not so well done. Generally it was a tad too dry as well. If the pancake could be a little moist and caramelised banana sweeter, more hearts would be given for this.
Hello Truffle Fries ($8.00) dressed with fine grated parmesan. This is their home-seasoned truffle fries, and it's quite good, though not the best. Crispy and not oily :The portion wasn't as huge and it wasn't expensive.


I'm a big fan of churros ($9) and I'd jump at any opportunity to have some churros if i could! If only churros were more popular and more readily-available in Singapore.
The churros at Habitat was no doubt one of the best i've tried thus far. Really.
It was crispy on the outside and incredibly soft on the inside.
 But do take note that you gotta eat them while they're hot or they will be pretty disgusting once they have cooled down.


There’s also a different rendition of red velvet cake, which they call Baileys black velvet ($6.90). OH MY GOODNESS YOU MUST ORDER THIS. The Bailey’s gives a punch to the chocolate cake, and the icing is brilliant. It’s moist and full of flavour, and the three of us absolutely loved it. Can you imagine the 3 youngsters gave that "HMMMMMM" when we had our first spoon.


Loved how quaint this place was! It was like a hidden gem found at Upper Thomson Road. This cafe had 2 levels, and we were seated upstairs with its exquisite old-school decor. Great for small group gatherings for 2-4 people as the cafe as rather small. 





Good food goes well with good companion (:

Habitat Coffee + Beancurd


On Friday itself, I had a free ride from Boy after a workout in the gym and he rode me to Upper thomson road for supper. Impromptu plan I guessed. Our first stop was to head down to have the best rocher beancurd. I had tang yuen with beancurd while he ordered just a plain beancurd. Set aside bean curd, we ordered some of their finger food. Nothing goes well with You tiao/ Sweet paste dough/ Egg tart and char siew pastry.


Our next stop is to drop by this cafe which is directly across Rocher beancurd store. Habitat Coffee was a terrific hidden gem, one of those little-known hole in the wall cafés that boast very homely decoration and serve good food at relatively affordable prices. Word of mouth on the street and the Internet, however, clearly beat me to the punch. When we visited the cafe, it was packed with customers even though people tended not to linger, their seats were quickly filled by the number of new customers entering the small, two story establishment. Thankfully, we managed to snatch a table on the second floor that gave us a rather pleasant window view of Upper Thompson road. It was a little stuffy, but comfortable enough for a catch up session but not suitable for a heart to heart talk session. 






 Decided just to have dessert as we were already half full after our beancurd.

So we got the Truffle Rum Cake ($3.90). It was very well made. No regrets. It won’t blow you to the moon but you will enjoy it. It stays firm and nice together and wouldn't crumble at all. Biscuits crumbs hidden at the bottom of the cake. Crispy as it goes, there's a little of a sea salt taste.


Waffle with 1 Scoop of Ice Cream ($7) : With double scoop, it is just $8. They have a range of about 3-4 flavors. We ordered the sea salt caramel flavour. I must applaud for its larger-than-usual portion of ice cream, but taste was undistinguished. It is either my palate had some problem that night, or it is really the problem. Its respective taste, once again, wasn't substantial enough. The waffles doesn't has any taste as if they didn't add in any sugar or they chose unsalted butter to mix the mixture. But I would have to compliment their sea salt ice cream. I love it and it blends pretty well with the waffles.

Last two photos and that's it, end of my posts with a rather low pixel/ lightning/ blur pictures of us while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
And Kuddos to that, I finally drafted out 3 posts and im done for the day.
