Boufe Boutique Cafe
21st March 2015
Last week of Saturday, I met up with Nicholas, Benson and Jue Yu and we travelled down to Phoenix Park for Brunch. I chanced upon http://jolenezhou.blogspot.sg/ blog and knew that her boyfriend and friends are opening up a cafe and I have been raving much to go and check it out.
Upon travelling, it wasn't easy to locate the place if you are driving but thanks to Nicholas, we have a car to ride on or else I bet we will be starving to death if we use by legs. I read through some blogs that if you are lucky enough, you will get buggy ride in or out.
Boufe is also known as Boutique + Cafe, a rarely interesting name that I heard of. As boufe was classified as black, white simple interior, it feels like you are in your own peaceful world when you enter in.
Check out OHVOLA shop that was owned by the co-founder: Lucinda Zhou and Jolene Zhou. For ladies, do not drop down your jaw! They really have pretty apparel hanging on the rack. I took a few mins of my time window-shopping while waiting for our seats and my eyes was stuck at a few pieces of dress. But then, I did not get myself anything, my main focus shall be on their CAFE FOOD!
This is crazily tempting me since I stepped my foot into the shop. The vibrant colours of the macarons, the delicious yummy cake that was baked by blogger Rachel. Everything seems good to give it a try!
We were given the outdoor seats and thought that we could take this opportunity to appreciate the nature but we made a wrong move to have agreed on the arrangement. The weather was killing most of us and at the degree of 34, it was not a joke to sit in for 2 hours. We were all perspired.
Our food:
Truffles fries- $13
We ordered this for Nicholas as he didn't try truffles fries before. HOW CAN! His feedback was it tastes like normal fries, how special can this be?
Nichola's share: Smoked Salmon Croissant- $19
Freshly baked croissant with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and capers with fresh greens.
Mine: Classic Croque Madame- $19
The classic French ham and cheese sandwich covered with mornay sauce and gratin cheese, topped with a sunny-side up and fresh greens
Benson's Triple's B- $22
Boufé’s Big Breakfast. Freshly baked buttery croissant served with scrambled eggs, assorted sausages, streaky bacon, sautéed mushroom and fresh greens.
Jue Yu's share: Egg Benedicts
Homemade brioche with honey baked ham, poached eggs, homemade hollandaise sauce and fresh greens.
Overall, the food was good but they could probably adjust their food price, its alittle expensive although they do not charge GST and service charge.
Service wise, the staff was very attentive and friendly. One of the staff saw that we were fanning ourselves and came over to ask if we want to change our seats. Although she couldn't help us to change our seats, she offered ice water drinks for us to cool ourselves. Plus she helped us top-up constantly too.
Overall, it was quite an enjoyable experience at Boufe. And not forgetting, there’s wifi here too. Now you know where to go if you need a good place to chill out!
Yes, I gotta admit, this place is quite instagram-worthy. Just look at the entrance, there's also an outdoor seating area where we could take picture of. Not only that, I always see people taking their #ootd near the swing or the BOUFE signal (:
