(CLOSED) Elffin & Elffin

Occupying a two storey shophouse is Elffin & Elffin, a new art gallery cum cafe that has sprouted up along the popular Haji Lane.

Cake Love

After my tasting at Table by Rang Mahal at Naumi Hotel, I decided to check out Cake Love, which was nearby and located just doors away from the famous Fluff Bakery.

Stateland

After a short tea time at Shop Wonderland, we popped by Stateland which was just a minute away.

The Pantry @ Shop Wonderland

Shop Wonderland is just one of the many cafes along Haji Lane but you can be assured that it's the prettiest and most unique one! When I chanced upon it about two months ago, I just stood in the cafe in amazement hahaha. But because it was a Sunday and the place was packed, I didn't get to try anything.

This time we went there on a weekday and we were the only ones around yay!

The Bravery

After a disappointing brunch, X asked what my other choices were initially besides The Coffee Shot. And I told him The Bravery was one of them so we decided to head there. We hopped into the car and I tried locating the place but after a ten seconds drive, we were at The Bravery already! Haha it was quite funny. Do look out for the cafe as there isn't a signboard!

The Coffee Shot

I was assigned by X to find a place for Brunch and I chose The Coffee Shot as it was relatively near to Bugis, where we were heading to afterwards. However, this is quite possibly the worst brunch I've ever had in Singapore.

Symmetry

One of our favourite things : Sunday Brunch

Haha X and I decided to head to Symmetry for brunch one Sunday afternoon. We had a pretty hard time finding a parking lot as the whole area was very crowded and all the lots were taken. So we parked opposite the main road beside a field.



It's a good thing that we checked the address of the place before we came here, or we'd have totally missed Symmetry because there isn't a signboard







We were greeted warmly by them haha


A cafe with a rustic charm. Totally love the brick walls and big windows.
A modern touch to a cottage-feel






















Decorated ceiling




Old school name tag thingy






Iced Latte - $5.50

The coffee was fragrant and good!

 
Cute bottle of sugar syrup!


Affogato - $6
Fragrant coffee paired with a scoop of yummy vanilla icecream. Definitely one of the nicer affogatos around!

I wanted to get the croissant with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs but decided to try their Eggs Benedict instead.

Eggs Benedict - $20
Poached eggs, aged cheddar, smoked bacon, onion hollandaise



The eggs were not very well prepared. They were more like soft boiled eggs than poached eggs. The egg white was too runny. I really liked the sweetness of the caramelized onions. The sweet onions with the hollandaise kind of masked the taste of the other ingredients though. Also, the presence of aged cheddar made the dish more tasty but I kinda got quite sick of it towards the end. The dish comes with a crispy piece of hash potato and a portion of salad. It was definitely quite filling for me.


Big Breakfast - $24
Eggs - overeasy, maple glazed bacon, tomatoes, chicken cheese sausage, hash potato, mushrooms, jam and toast




The best items of this dish have gotta be the jam and toast. The toast was crisp and the butter carried a really yummy sweetness to it! I could just have the bread and butter on its own! The mushrooms and bacon were pretty average but the chicken sausage was a letdown. The sausage was huge but it wasn't tasty at all and it had the plasticky feeling when we tried to cut into it.

We enjoyed the ambience and vibe here and the service was good. The staff were attentive and efficient. Prices are slightly steep though.

I'll return for the jam and toast anytime. They should have a special jam and toast set!

Chye Seng Huat Hardware

Ever since this cafe, opened by the people behind Papa Palheta, arrived on our local food scene, it has taken our brunch loving, coffee fanatic country by storm. And its not hard to see why they are so popular. Whats not to like about a cup of aromatic coffee in a reinvented rustic coffeeshop? It sure does help to have a name as cool as this.


I was so feeling the theme that day, I had to take some shots in black and white. This is one of my favourite.


Just like Papa Palheta, the entrance to the place is not at the front.
















This is the Annex room where you can gather a group of friends and arrange for a coffee appreciation session. Pretty cool.


See the window grille pattern ? Brings back memories of my grandma's place.


gramophone




Crowded.






Expresso with milk(regular) - $5.50
Their coffee is top notch. I dont usually drink coffee without the sugar, but for this i just want to take in the aroma and the aftertaste of the coffee. The highlight of the day for me. Nothing beats a good cup of coffee for brunch.


Hot chocolate- $6.50

K ordered hot chocolate as it is her favourite hot drink and she is forever on the hunt for the best hot chocolate. CSHH's hot chocolate was pretty good, with a subtle hint of mint.






A dish for the meat lover (points to K) !
Patrick's platter - $16
Pork Rilette, Duck terrine, Parma ham

K liked the duck terrine the most. Cold meats on bread for brunch is a first for us. Pretty interesting.


Pancake stack with blueberries- $10

Its funny how you add 3 berries and this dish becomes blueberry pancakes. Haha. I enjoyed their butter, its fragrant and smooth but I cant find anything special about their pancakes. Decent, but nothing special.


Breakfast in a cup - $8

I was hoping to be surprised by the 'breakfast of the day' but it turned out to be a tad disappointing. A pile of vegetables, some mushrooms and a soft boiled egg over the top and that was it. If you're there to try their breakfast of the day, remember to ask whats in it first.


I fell in love with the interior of the cafe. Captures so much of the past and yet feels modern. Extremely well done, I would say. The coffee, as usual, is top notch but the food pales in comparison. Given the price point of the place, I would expect the food to wow my tummy.
