'Joey's Blog'

Since its a holiday for most of us, I dated Boyfriend for brunch & we headed over to Clementi for our food. I was browsing through what we could have at Clementi area and a few cafes popped out from the site. 

Just along the street, I discovered Revelry cafe, Carpenter & Cook,  Nook D.I.Y House of Pancakes, The Signature Patisserie & Udders Ice-cream. Followed down from Udders ice-cream, they have outlet which sells pancakes so both of us decided to give it a try.

Udders Pancakes sell only pancakes as their main dish but they have both savoury & sweet type of pancakes so if you prefer something meaty, you can opt for their Pull-Pork Egg Benedict but we went to order their Honey Glazed Herbed Chicken ($14.80). 

The portion was rather disappointing! Just look at the size of the pancakes. They have a option of half or full menu which means if you choose half sized, you will only get 2 pieces of pancakes.

Saw salted egg york fries on the menu & decided to give it a try! Waited for about 1 hour plus due to the lack of manpower. I could count with one finger the number of staffs maintaining this shop & therefore the service pace was slow.

11th January 2015

What are the odds of having our monthsary on a weekend? Its neither by luck nor arranged but just nice our 22nd Month fell on a Sunday and it rang up a bell for Brunch time. 

Plan wasn't always planned as it should be. Our initial plan was to dine in at LAB sg along Jalan Pisang but we foreseen its a weekend and therefore we have to stand by under the waiting queue. Hunger striked us badly as we both did not have our breakfast before we left the house so waiting is definitely not prohibited, furthermore under a hot scorching sun.

So how when you need food so badly? A perfect apps called blupple is used in place for food hunt. Searching for good cafe along Kampong glam and we made it through the way to Hyde & Co which served all day good-breakfast.

I was surprised by crumplets that was written on the menu. I googl-ed on what is it and caught me amazed by how they changed their food uniquely. Apparently, crumplets mean a mix between and English muffin and a sponge cake. So instead you have toast bread for your breakfast, you can have English Muffins as a substitute. 

Many Tea selection can be found in the menu and we had a hard time to choose what flavour to go well with our food that we ordered. To simplistic, we wanted to take off with just Earl Grey tea but the boss strongly recommend us to try their Earl Grey Cream which has a strong vanilla taste on it. So glad that he recommended us a good tea. 

Our main dishes came to save our tummy. I ordered lady hyde ($12.90) which is a classic Croque Madame. Freshly baked brioche, honey baked ham, juicy pineapple, cheddar sprinkled. What's so special about this would be the spicy shrimp (while they called it Hebi Hiam) that topped up with a sunny-sided egg.

While Bf settled for his 'The full works'' ($17.90) which comes with a grilled cheese portobello mushroom, bratwurst, steaky bacon, roasted baby potatoes served with creamy scrambled eggs and a slice of freshly sourdough rye and homemade crumplets. 

With so many choices in a plate. this dish can definitely be more than brunch.

Truffle fries need not to be said. Those who have been following, all of you should know that both Boyfriend and I are die hard fan of fries. So whenever there is truffle fries in the menu, our temptation couldn't save us further. 

This truffle fries looked small in serving in the photo but when the food was served, we over-judged it but at least, we managed to finish it all.

Hi, haven't been consistently updating this site. Here, I'm back to update another post that I missed out over the weekend. Has been very busy with work and hardly catch my breathe when Pri school started their school term. #perksofbeingareceptionist

Reporting to work at 7am and having to wake up at 4.30am everyday allowed me to have my hair loss, heavy eye bags and ugly face complex. I feel haggard for a moment and can't wait for my weekend to arrive to catch up with my sleep. Needa return my sleeping debt soon.

Oh, I still owe another post of my Ho chin minh travelogue ( Day 3) and now i'm thinking of when should I update that. Prolly lazy and lost the feel of remembering what I have done on Day 3. Let me get some feel before I type out a decent post. I don't wanna pissed my readers off by saying rubbish things.

So last Sunday, I fetched Bf home from his campsite and we decided to have lunch together at Changi Village. Our intention is to have some cheap thrill food at their hawker centre and cafe doesn't seem alright for us in Changi neighbourhood. 

However, while we were on the way to the hawker centre, we came across a small cafe located and me being so typical, bugged my bf to dine in there. HAHA. The inner cafe-hunt of me appeared and Bf has already gave up on disciplining me to have cafe food. I WIN!

The impression of this is small and quiet, but it gave a cosy home feeling that both of us enjoyed having our lunch there and people-watched. "Im alittle tea pot, short and stout.'' I simply love their Alice in the wonderful land decoration.

Got caught red-handed for checking lottery under daylight! This gambler must maintain ah! How dare he checked his lottery at a muslim cafe although it was not certified halal yet? Hahahaha.

Food that we ordered: Nasi Lemak which was surprisingly good. Their sambal chilli was a sex! It goes very well with the rice and ikan bilis. 

The long awaiting of their egg cupcakes was served after 20 mins later because it has to go through an oven with certain temperature to bake the eggs, and ensuring the egg yolk doesn't flow out. Nothing special about this dish although it was so well-recommended by the chef.

Lastly, my peanut butter chocolate cake was served next and this was my best dish for the day! I guess the finest tea shop cafe served best on their coffee and cakes. I suggested one should come here for a high tea session.

Another well-spent weekend with you, my dear boy (:

Till then

Last Sunday Brunch was spent with boyfriend to celebrate his advance birthday and I had never been to any of the PS. Cafe outlets before (there are branches at Palais, Paragon, Harding, A.S.H park and Tiong Bahru) so I was looking forward to it. The restaurant features a western menu with an amazing array of desserts. There are minor variations in the menu depending upon the time of day that you go (brunch, lunch, dinner) and the location of the branch.

I like the idea of the magazines & newspapers hanging below the bar counter. Very stylish looking.

Till then.
