Stranger reunion date
My Wednesday is so perfect because I had a dinner date with my man and sort of treating him a good meal before he has to go back to his camp. Come to think of it, his 10 days of leave/holidays flew real fast. In a blink of an eye, he has to return back to his campus to serve the nation. But not complaining because we have spent well together between these 10 days. Basically meet up with each other for a meal, a small getaway trip with him definitely added up to the point. When we looked through our photos, we can see ourselves grinning shyly. I just love his company, with him around, everything seem perfect.
So on Wednesday, I decided to surprise my girl too who is working very hard at Stranger reunion. And yes, did I mention on instagram that they have opened a waffle's cafe right beside Stranger reunion? The cafe is called Waffle Slayer for those who didn't hear about it. On that day itself, she was working at the waffle station so I decided to stop by and try their food too.
Using the former shop space of Stranger’s Reunion before they had expanded, Waffle Slayer is operating under Stranger’s Reunion that focuses on their forte; Buttermilk Waffles.
The Food So how many variations of waffles can Waffle Slayer offer? There are six sweet flavours and two savoury flavours, which I was quite in awe when I first glanced at the menu. Like Squid Ink and Red Velvet waffles? Seriously? I can’t help but start imagining the taste of it. Sounds totally too good and cool to be true.
Set aside that, you can also order their main dishes from their cafe too.
So I told my man that Stranger reunion sells very good coffee, the barista or rather the boss Ryan Kieran Tan, was a Singapore National Barista Champion in 2011 & 2012. So looking through the menu, he decided to order 'Magic' as his beverages. For me, I stick to my plain water.
Magic ($5.50)
Boy felt that it had an extremely strong coffee taste but it was much too bitter for his liking. It was supposed to be less bitter with the double ristretto and milk but somehow, that didn't make much of a difference. Quite a disappointment from his end as it stated well recommended by Barista.
Magic Mushroom ($15.90)
Under the all day light bites, one of them is the Magic Mushrooms. There must be something magical about them, because Amelia ordered that as our appetizer and they were really filling. And the best part is this is in the house from Amelia. She secretly asked the chef to prepare for us without charging any fees. We are such a lucky couple that day.
Truffle fries ($12.90)
The Truffle was quite subtle and controlled in the Strangers’ Reunion of everyone’s favourite snack – Truffle Fries. You can taste it strongly in the Shredded Parmesan and it is faint but evenly coats each golden brown shoestring fry. Fries are done super crisp, just the way I like it. It comes with an interesting dip which we really enjoyed. The serving is so huge that we ran out of dip way before we were 3/4 through with the fries.
German Sausage creamy pasta ($18)
We feel that it is over-priced. The cheese in the pasta is way too strong. It feels like we were eating raw cheese. But I would compliment for their german sausage.
Red Velvet Buttermilk Waffle ($14.90)
The sweet waffle, with chocolate fudge and vanilla ice cream fared better. I suspect that this is probably one of the better waffle found in Singapore (because several just cannot make it), the slight crisp and melt-in-mouth flufiness. To add point for this, it was home-made by Amelia (:
If you're a coffee-lover, or a waffles lover (like me) or if you're looking for a pretty cafe to head to for a nice hearty and filling meal-- visit Strangers Reunion!

And last but not least, my Wednesday night with the handsome man strolling around Eu tong sen streer/ Neil Road/ Tanjong Pagar/ Chinatown. Basically everywhere is linked and I managed to discover a few cafes especially Department of Caffeine. So excited to bring different group of friends for cafe hunt.
Till then.
