The Coffee Daily

Since we are hardly in the north-east area, we continue exploring the area after our brunch at Lola's Cafe. It was a warm afternoon but that did not stop us from walking to The Coffee Daily - things we do for food. It was a truly long walk among the private housing and I even took out my umbrella cos it was just way tooooooo hot. A sign of relive when I saw the signage :))

I have seen many photos of their famous rainbow cake but it is like one of the most expensive cake around and having baked one before, I know it is not worth the money. Instead, we ordered my favourite chocolate truffle cake and our usual coffee (latte and mocha) chilled. This place is really charming and it helps that when we were there, it was very quiet. I guess I have emphasize enough, we like quiet places. Indeed a hidden gem. 

we took this space :)

Really amazed by how they transformed the old-school metal plates and stools into tables. Not exactly stable for the big coffee cups but really interesting idea.

The coffees were pretty good but all I can remember is how relax we were. We really love this place and will definitely come back if we are around the vicinity. Can't wait!!! We spotted Sun Ray Cafe a few steps away and the cute pups hanging around. Probably psycho my bro to drive us and doggy over some day. Hmm... Serangoon....

Lola's Cafe

Lola's Cafe is probably the most talked-about cafe in the north east since they opened. It took us more than an hour to reach but nothing stopping us, really. The cafe open at 10am and I know all about the small space and crowd so we tried our best to wake up early and reach on time. We were probably there at about 10.10am and... ... We almost couldn't get a table. Can you imagine???!!!

Anyway, we did get a table and couldn't wait to order our food. I think we are really creature of habits because we almost always end up eating the same thing no matter where we go. Uninteresting couple. It was Americano, Mocha, Avocado Egg Benedicts and Lola’s Monty Big Breakfast for us. Honestly, we did not like the food nor coffee there and didn't understand the whole hype of this place. Maybe we had ordered the wrong food. I read that their chicken wings are really good and so are some of the desserts. I guess it will make a nice place to chill with those craft beers they have.

Luckily we had plans to visit The Coffee Daily after this, if not it will be so not worth the effort to just to head to the north-east.

Revolution Coffee

After Audacious Cakery, we hop on the bus for lunch at ABC Food Centre cos the boyfriend loves his roasted meat and we decided to try Fatty Cheong. The food were pretty good and that explained the long queue... After Faty Cheong, we took a bus and a looooonnnngggg walk to Revolution Coffee!

It wasn't easy to find this place and it is one of the inaccessible cafe around. The walk from the bus stop at expressway took us about 10 mins and imagine the hot sun... But no regrets coming because it is such an hidden gem. Located at Media Circle it is not far from the charming Wessex Estate as well as Holland Village and Buona Vista. It really helps if you drive but even if you do not, you can still come here!

just continue walking to the white building. That's where Revolution Coffee is.

Despite the long walk, we decided to sit outdoor and have hot coffee cos the outdoor space is too cute to resist. Love the old-school chairs and how they made the tables using wooden plank and beer crates. As we were enjoying our coffee, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the surrounding. For a moment, we felt like we weren't in Singapore. No tall buildings. No constant traffic. I can't emphasize how much I love this place.

The coffee were pretty good I think. And this strawberry white chocolate muffin that we had (though it wasn't exactly cheap) left a deeper impression on me. It is just so home-made kind of delicious. I can't wait to be back! Wish they have longer opening hours.

after seeing me struggle to take a selfie, the staff volunteered their service. Hee..

Audacious Cakery

Before boyfriend starts his shift work (which is way back in January), we decided to make full use of our last few normal weekends to go on more food exploration. We started with Tong Ah early morning before walking to Audacious Cakery after reading and seeing all the good reviews.

Our experience differed greatly from all the good reviews and I am really doubting all these free tasting that the bloggers are receiving. Is their job to make the food seems good when it is not, or should they actually feedback to the company they are working with? That aside, there are still some truthful bloggers out there who shared the same experience as us.

The space and cakes were really pretty but they sure do look prettier than they tasted. The strawberry shortcake had too much cream and not much of a taste while the chocolate souffle tart was too sweet rather than chocolaty and the tart wasn't crispy enough for our liking. Though the cakes didn't meet the standard, the service were really good

They do have quite a variety of cakes available. There might be just that one for you but for us, we won't be back any time soon.

Coastes

Coastes has been on my list since forever. Dining at the beach is definitely one of my favourite setting. Thankful that the rain stopped for a couple of hours on Day 2 morning of our staycation else I'll be so bummed. From Amara Sanctuary, we walked down this slope to Palawan Beach before hopping on the beach tram to Siloso Beach. Couldn't get the tables nearer to the water as those are big tables for the bigger group.

We enjoyed the slow brunch while watching the cute kiddos running and tumbling around. The food here isn't in my affordable range nor is the place conveniently accessible but it is definitely one of the best place for a Sunday brunch. Looking forward to come back for their dinner menu... Maybe for the next staycation :)
