Drips Bakery Cafe

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon but we still decided to go for brunch (:








We felt that the "back" portion seemed disconnected and incompatible with the design of the "front" portion of the cafe




Pretty selection of tarts


Gingerbread men!! So cute





Their specialty : cold drip


Chalkboard menus


 
Iced chocolate - $6

Usually I'll opt for hot chocolate and X will take coffee. But today I ordered a latte instead and knowing that I'd wanna try the chocolate still, X got the iced chocolate. Such a sweetiepie hahaha.
Anyway, the iced chocolate was impressive! We loved it. The one time that I chose coffee over chocolate, the chocolate had to be so good haha.


my latte - $4.80
We didn't think that the latte was very impressive. Just average.


USA Black Forest ham with scrambled eggs served with grilled seasonal veggie and freshly baked alpine grain and cranberry toast -$15.80


big piece of ham


The alpine toast was yummy and fragrant! Apart from the huge portion of grilled vegetables that we didnt really fancy, this dish was good!


Norwegian salmon croissant - $11.80

Veggie lovers should definitely visit Drips. Look at the portion of veggies that they give! But unfortunately for me, I don't eat veggie and spent quite some time taking them out haha.


X thought that the floating coffee behind was cool -_- What a kid.
Haha the croissant was pretty normal. But I had extra ingredients (egg and ham) from X's dish!


Cinnamon pear tart - $6.80
We like the crust and the mixture of pear and cinnamon. Unique and pleasant.



Overall Drips is good place for brunch and the food is pretty good! Parking lots are readily available just a short walk away and you can even park right outside the cafe! Also, the loathsome 10% service charge is absent in their billing. Hurray for that! There were many customers who bought their cakes and such but we were too full to try them. Maybe next time! (:

82 Tiong Poh Road
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday : 11am - 9.30pm

One Caramel

We headed to One Caramel for dessert after brunch one day!






One Caramel is located on the second level and we had pretty high expectations of the design of the place. I mean, that should be quite a huge space and we thought it'd be really grand and pretty! I guess we thought wrong. The dining area is really small and can only fit about 5 tables.

We were pretty full so we only ordered one dessert. We had "Death by Chocolate"

Valrhona Sofiato molten lava cake




with dark chocolate sorbet.



We were really disappointed. The molten cake was too dry and the taste just wasn't right. The only saving grace for this dessert was the dark chocolate sorbet which was pretty good in my opinion. We aren't sure if we'll head back there for brunch or their cakes but I'm not exactly keen to go back there again. Do share your experiences at One Caramel! Maybe we just ordered the wrong dessert. Maybe we should have gotten the chocolate souffle instead.

De Burg

"BURGERS ARE NOT FAST FOOD! " - De Burg

I like this tag line and its definitely true for the burgers they offer at the stall. As you can probably guess, Burgers are their specialty. Found in a corner of a coffee shop at block 10 Ghim moh road, this western food stall can really make a burger.

A beeper that they use to page for you once your food is ready for collection! cool.

Void of the class and comfort of a restaurant, De burg more than makes up for it with value and taste. Their beef patties were outstanding, juicy and succulent. Its hard to find this type of stall in a coffee shop serving such good quality patties. Their chunky fries were pretty good as well. Just look at the burgers below!


Mushroom cheese burger SGD $8.75

Bacon cheese burger SGD $9.65

I would say if you are super hungry and want a good burger, this is the place to go. For less than $20, you can get a burg that's definitely value for money. Try it.
