Chye Seng Huat Hardware

Visited Chye Seng Huat Hardware cafe on a sunny Thursday. At the first look, I didn't look like a cafe, but once you walk through the gate, it's another thing.

Located at somwhere at Tyrwhitt Road where Tiramisu Hero is located, it's just a few walks away from there.






The place is rather small IMO, there's outdoor and indoor seats, but I go with the latter cuz it was SUPER HUMID that day.

I managed to reach there and make my orders before 5pm. Just a note, their kitchen closes at 5pm, so yeap! If you guys are thinking of giving CSHH a visit, try to go before 5pm. I mean reach there before 5pm!!!

The interior of the place gives me the very old school kopitiam kind of feel, like everything is so old school, like the ornament displays, and the stools and such.



They have a bit too little variety of things to offer IMO, but nevertheless, I manage to settle for something from their menu. Ordered Italian Breakfasts which costs $12. Good thing about CSHH, you just pay whatever the cost is from the menu, there's no tax nor service charge. :)




Toasted Foccacia with 2 Poached Eggs, topped with Pork Bolognese Sauce and Parmesan Cheese. Extremely yummy, especially the pork bolognese sauce! Even my friend says its nice! ♥



What my friend ordered, cuppa hot coffee, croissant, and a Nine Layer Kueh (九层糕), CSHH also sell classic old school kueh such as what you see above, the Nine Layer Kueh, and also Ang Ku Kueh. All available at the display over at the counter.



You rarely see cafe's selling kueh's in Singapore. Hahaha! I would definitely come back to try the remaining items from their menu. If you guys are going, do try their Italian Breakfast, cuz its really really good!!!

Wimbly Lu Chocolates

Wimbly Lu is just a stone throw away from Rokeby Bistro Cafe. You can click on this link if you see the directions on how to get there. (http://www.donnlicious.com/2014/06/rokeby-bistro-cafe.html)

So on the other day, right after we had our mains at Rokeby Bistro Cafe, we then walk down a few shops down to Wimbly Lu Chocolates for desserts. Thank god we only have 3 people if not we would have to wait for quite awhile as the timing that we went was quite crowded.











We each ordered a dessert and we shared the bill among ourselves. We ordered:

Nutella Chocolate Pie - $6
Waffle w/ Ice Cream - $8.50
Chocolate Creme Brulee - $5

For the waffles with ice cream, you can choose which flavor of ice cream you want, we chose the Cheesecake icecream because.... It stands out from the rest of the flavors I guess??? And you hardly see places selling cheesecake ice cream. Hahaha!!!

Oh! You also get to choose the topping, Maple Syrup, Toffee or Chocolate Sauce.

Here's a picture of the menu, in case you guys wanna see.







We sat at a very awkward seat whereby infront of us were 3 girls and me and CS was sitting in a way that we're facing them. So weird???!!!!

I love their waffles its super crispy (I LOVE CRISPY WAFFLES! ♥) and their cheesecake ice cream is surprisingly good as well.

I MEGA LOVE THEIR CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE! Its worth the $5! What's more we shared the cost among ourselves, so yeap! :)

The only complain that I have is the table that we're sitting at luh! Other than that, no complains!! Hahaha!!

At Wimbly Lu, there's service charge and GST, so do take note.

Rokeby Bistro Cafe

Once in a blue moon meet up with my BFF's, also known as my Primary School Friends. We decided to meet up for dinner, chill and catch up with one another. But 90% of the time me and Cheryl was just "SUANING" CS with his "stupidity, not saying he is, but he's just being a bimbo la! Hahahaha!

Sent them the websites to check for Cafe's to go to and they both decided on ROKEBY Cafe. To be honest, I've never heard of this cafe before, so why not give it a try?

Thank god Cheryl drives, if not we would have a hard time finding the place, but actually, with her driving, we already had quite a hard time finding the place. Blame it all on google maps!!!





So anyways, reached the place, it's somewhere near Serangoon NEX, but I'll paste the exact location at the later part of this post for easier reference.







It was only after we came then crowd started to come, before that, there was no one in the cafe, so yeap. WE BRING THE CROWDS!!!! Hahaha! Just kidding.

Anyways, just so you know, they have different menu on different timing, like eg; they only serve certain dishes until a certain timing, after that they stopped. A bit like LOLA's Cafe where they have Brunch Menu, and Dinner Menu. So yeap.

Water is self service and its free flow, so you can just grab a cup near the counter and get yourself a drink whenever you like. :)

Cheryl ordered Spaghetti Carbonara - $15.90
CS ordered Fish & Chips (BOOOORINGGGGG!) - $16.90
Yourstruly ordered THUNDER TIGH BURGER - $15.90

  

Feedback from Cheryl: Her Spaghetti Carbonara is too salty. For me (I tried abit), I feel that its nice la, just that if you keep eating you'll get sick of it easily. Just my opinion though.

xx
Overall I find their food was average only, Cheryl was saying like she don't even know why people (LIKE US) go cafe hopping, its like a sudden trend and everyone is like going cafe hopping. LOLOLOLOL!!!

So yea, food was average, place is also so-so. But the good thing about rokeby is that they don't charge taxes. That means whatever you order from the menu, you just pay for that amount. Don't believe? Look!!!



Ohyah, their service is also quite good, they bother asking if we would like to have tomato or chili sauce to go along with our food because it doesn't come together with it. So extra points for that.

Stateland Cafe

Hello there everyone! I'm finally back to update this space of mine. If you guys have read my previous posts and followed me on my Instagram, you guys would have know that I've went to Korea for the past 1 week. As I'm writing this phrase, my heart aches, because I'm really missing the good food, the people and not forgetting the carefree life over there. Coming back to Singapore is like a wake up call. Calling me to wake up and get back to reality.



Okay, nuff said! This post will be on another cafe that I've visited a few days before I fly over to Korea. Visited Stateland Cafe with my group mates (School/Poly) after our last paper.



Located at Bali Lane which is right beside Haji Lane, the cafe is just a stone throw away form the sign board you see over there. Just follow the sign and walk towards the alley and you'll be able to see Stateland Cafe.







Initially we were told to wait outside as they're only open from 12pm (we reached around 11.50am++), few minutes past 12 and no one attended us, so our fierce Nicole went to ask them whether can we go in already because all of us are perspiring like maaaaaaad! And yes, finally we're allowed to go in, only after Nicole asked the person. TSK!





TBH! I find their menu abit limited uhh! Like there's only THAT much stuff we can order, so Audrey, Nicole and I ended up ordering the same thing. Eggs Benedict, Aaron and ML ordered Carbonara, and Garey ordered some waffles thingy.







Aaron, Audrey and Nicole wanted to try more of their stuff, so the 3 of them ordered and shared a Red Velvet Waffle with Vanilla Ice Cream.



Overall I find that the place is worth visiting once, for the ambiance and such. The food wise is just so so only. But the food is not that bad la. You guys can still pay this cafe a visit. :)

Other than what I've said, their service is actually quite good. One of the service stuff actually offered to change for us another bottle of water. So kudos for that.

Price of the food range from $10 - $30, and they only accept cash, no nets/credit cards/debit cards. So do take note.

Their operating hours is:

Mon: 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Tue: CLOSED
Wed - Thu: 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Fri - Sat: 12:00 pm - 12:00 am
Sun: 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm

With A Pinch Of Salt

Finally back with another post, after much procrastination, I'm finally blogging about this. So if you guys know (most of you might not), I've visited this cafe with some of *Le Cousins* back in the days where I was a skinny bitch.



The last time I visited was 2010, and nothing much have changed, maybe except the food and services I guess? Hahah! I wanted to bring my other friends to this place ever since, but due to our own commitment, we then drag till recently. LOLOL!!!



The cafe look pretty much like a kids cafe where everything is just so bright and...... "CUTESY LOOKING"!



Only 4 of us went on that day, each of us ordered a dish and drinks, for me, I ordered an additionals cheesefries for sides! If you have compared the chessefries from this post and the other, you would have seen the obvious difference...















The food over there was pretty average, nothing special, but what surprises me was that the service was pretty good. Maybe because that was the supervisor or manager of the cafe bah??? But she provided EXTREMELY good service for us.

She would ask us whether the drinks is alright, is it too bland, if it is she would add more chocolate for us, or change a new one for us. That was totally unexpected.

For iced water there will be a $0.30 charge.

With A Pinch Of Salt Cafe is located at  297 Tanjong Katong Rd, Singapore 437080, you can take bus 10, 31, 32, 40, 43, 76, 135, 917, 401, 853.

Alight at the stop where you see Pizza Hut on the left. Once you alighted turn right and walk straight ahead and you'll be able to see the cafe already.

Do take note that they have very weird operating hours, so yea! Do make a call if you're going cuz sometimes they are quite packed one.
