Wimbly Lu date with Weimin

One of the mid-week, I finally met up with Wei min for our dessert date and also to exchange our gifts that we both bought it from overseas. I have always been wanting to meet her out for dinner but she was out of Singapore for a week for her school exchange in Korea. 

Her legal birthday falls on 26th September so I decided to foot the bill for this dessert date as a birthday treat to her. I brought her to wimbly lu as she hasn't been there before and I was craving for their waffles.
Wimbly Lu is not an unfamiliar name in the cafe scene; the Jalan Riang cafe had been noted for serving delectable desserts such as their widely-raved waffles.



Wei Min had her usual Iced Mocha and I ordered tea ($6) to clear away the calories that I am going to have on that day. Tea would aid in digestion and i figured a tea by the name of Peppermint would likely be free of any sins and help me greatly in subduing the evils in my body.




 Root beer cake ($8)
Definitely one of the must-try in Wimbly Lu. The combination was quite a surprise. It's like a brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream however dip in root beer sauce at the bottom of the cup. Soak the brownie in fizzy root beer sauce, take a bite with the vanilla ice cream and the taste it. You will be pleasantly surprised.



 Waffles with Ice cream ($8.50)
For the waffles with ice cream, you can choose which flavor of ice cream you want, I chose the milo icecream because it stands out from the rest of the flavors I guess? And you hardly see places selling milo ice cream. You also get to choose the topping, Maple Syrup, Toffee or Chocolate Sauce on it. You may request the syrup to be separately with the waffles.


Crepe with ice cream ($8.50) - comes with butter and maple syrup but you may add a scoop of ice cream. Wei Min chose cheesecake ice cream to go with it. Not bad a combination!



Wimbly Lu is definitely worth a visit for the desserts if you're near the vicinity. All of their desserts are really worth trying but personally, the root beer cake is a must order whenever I'm here. Be there early, the queue usually starts after dinner about 8pm. Chocolate lovers, this is the place for you!

Rokeby cafe-hopped



Time checked. 1.25pm, I have 30 mins to finish up typing this post. So excited to introduce to you one of the cafe found at Jalan Riang which is located near Lorong Chuan.

Jalan Riang is another of those up-and-coming laid-back type street lined with cafes and cool restaurants. I’ve been meaning to check it out for the longest time, but being an Nothern, Serangoon has always been my regular place but Jalan Riang doesnt seem to be known. Well, I finally made it there for brunch on the Thursday morning with my Mum.


I had been hearing quite a bit from a few friends about this place — that the brunch wasn't too bad, that the price were reasonable (no service charge and GST!), and a nice place to hangout in this upscale remote neighbourhood.
The Food The mains are pretty much western fares, which go from pastas to burgers to Fish and Chips. The popular weekend brunch concept is available as well to satisfy all the brunch fanatics ( Just like me!)


The interior are so modernise and yet heart warming. It makes us felt very relaxing and heart warming. They have a great ambience and very Aussie style.

Rokeby also included one children corner, where your kid can playaround while having brunch with you. At the same time, you can have more family time to spend with your kids.






 Iced lemon tea ($3.50)
Beverage which Mum always will order whenever she goes for cafe. Something special was the honey syrup that they have added in. Such a refreshing drink especially under the hot sun.


Hot chocolate ($5)
Mornings just can't start without a cuppa chocolate. It's a holy routine that I have to through with all brunches. The chocolate was okay, mild bitter to my liking. Nothing spectacular, but good enough to satisfy the sweetness addict in me. A little marshmallow to sweeten up the bitterness.



  Mum got the Portobello Benedict ($13.90) - the number of egg items on their menu is mind-blowing - and it was great too! The brioche toast by the way, is absolutely lovely. just lightly crisp and super fluffy inside, it goes so well with the oozy goodness from the egg. So as to the portobello. Hmm... sorry, im not a mushroom person but Mum likes it.



Waffles with Bacon and Sausage ($12.90)
A very large plate filled with 2 pieces of waffles. The Waffles here have a nice crispy texture. For those who like their waffles light and fluffy, you would like rokeby's version. I like my waffles with more substance in them so it was not too big a deal for me in this case. 



The food is really, really average. I might come back here again though, just because it's near. With no service charge and gst, Rokeby is definitely a good brunch place in the north east area. And oh, their coffee is good too! This is one of those places that I would go back to for convenience's sake given that the quality of food is reasonable.
