Rider's Café @ 51 Fairways Drive.

G'DAY, MATE! 

A big *wave* to all viewers! 

We installed a poll system on the left-hand side of our blog, kindly spare some time to vote so that we can make your stay here a better one. Only 7 more days to vote! For those who voted, thank you for your precious time and we will definitely look into it after the poll period ends. Do keep a look out for updates through our Twitter/Facebook profile. :)

You guys would have heard of the newest addition to the Café family - The Cat Café! 

If you're not really a cat lover, why not try out The Riders Café? (^_^) 

Rider's is located in the heart of Bukit Timah as well as being in the most unexpected place. Common misunderstanding: 'Rider's Café' is somewhere you can ride a horse and have breakfast/lunch - No, it is not! Sorry to disappoint anyone who is looking forward to that. The Rider's Café is located next to a Riding School, that will probably be one of the reason for it's signage. However, despite not being able to ride a horse (boohooohoooo, !) , you still can admire the beauty of the horses from the Café.

Rider's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at specific timings, do check out the menu at their website stated at the bottom of this post.  

We went for both breakfast and dinner. However, we were not able to capture much photos of the food there. So here's a Burrito ordered at Rider's. 

For people who are looking forward to having pancakes for breakfast. This is my face when i realize there is no pancakes available on the weekends.

 *PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT PANCAKES ON THE WEEKENDS IF YOU DO NOT WANNA END UP LOOKING LIKE ME IN THIS PHOTO >*

Yes, i like pancakes.

   

Other than the food there, the route to Rider's is a rather long trip. Be prepared with your most comfortable shoes if you're going there by bus and on foot (Which is what we recommend.). However, if you're a person who dislikes walking, please dial +65 6555 8888 for cab booking. If you own a vehicle, make full use of it.

We hope you have a safe journey there as well as a lovely experience looking for it!

L'etoile Cafe @ 160 Owen Road

Hey there hello! It has been our 3^rd time or the 4^th time we have been here and from time to time this cafe never fails to bring a smile to our faces, so yes we have decided to do a review on this awesome café. L'etoile Café!

To get to this café you can alight at the nearby MRT, Farrer Park. From there you would have to walk approximately 5-10min on a straight path and then a left turn. After doing so, TADAAAAAA, you can see this 2 level café from a distance J

When you step in you will be exposed to the lovely interior of this café. Trust me it’s a real lovely café J So here’s the food we bought! :D

(Toast with Egg Benedict)

(Cheese Fries)

 (Crepes with chocolate syrup) (Aglio olio)

(Flavoured teas at $5.90 per pot)  

(Latte)

I have to say though, their toast is really tasty. Even though it’s just toast with some eggs on the side and some weirdo sauce spread all over it is really simple yet tasty! :D

Oh and don’t forget to try their fries and crepes! It’s really worth the money, ok maybe not so but 8 Bucks for this amount of fries, and 6 bucks for crepes this tasty? I find it kind of a lucky strike as compared to the other cafes :D

And while you’re eating or drinking you can just admire the lovely interior of this café J

It gets really crowded on the weekends especially during lunch time, but on other days it is kind of empty and if you’re lucky enough, you might be able to get some seats on the 2^nd level!

*And not to forget we invited a few friends over to check this café out as well so these was what they had to say

Khairy: The cafe has a lovely ambiance and view. Their food and drinks were ravishing especially their fries.
I also like how their cafe combined a modern and old theme!

Qayyum: The place is really nice and classy but if you're low on budget this cafe might be a little problem.

Johan: It was my first time being in a place like this,all I can say is, that it was nice and it's a quiet place for relaxing.

Personally we had a splendid time having lunch here while catching up. I would recommend this cafe for families as well as the ambiance here is really comfy and nice. Not forgetting their food of course.
Cheerios!

Daily Scoop @ Jalan Merah Saga

Hello there, fellow Café Hoppers!

We sincerely apologize for not being active in handling this blog. However, we have a perfect valid reason for this. *teehee!* Well, our examinations are around the corner – yes, examinations… AGAIN! So do bear with us and continue looking out for new updates through our Twitter or Facebook profile. Alright Mate, back to business! A

Let's start off with today's main question. 

'Who doesn't like waffles with ice cream?' 

Certainly not me! Thus, for today's post, i will be introducing to you my favorite ice cream shop. 

THE DAILY SCOOP

The Daily Scoop creates all sorts of flavors, they have 40 flavors and counting! However, not all 40 flavors are in store at one shot. Therefore, if you have a flavor in mind, don't hesitate to inform the friendly staffs there about it! 

                                                                                                              

Not much of a sweet-tooth and looking for something sour to savor on?

You will definitely love the LEMON SHERBET like I do! You could also ask for waffles along with it, its rather cheap despite its appearance. It just costs around 6++ with two flavours of ice cream! :)

Well, this is just me trying not to ruin the smooth surface of my ice cream. Eventually and NOT surprisingly, it still ends up in my tummy. Hmmmmmmm....

Not only they have a wide range of ice creams, coffee,smoothies and waffles are also available here!
(Sorry for the empty cup photo though! Blame Khairil, he drank it! Grrrrrr.)

So this is how empty it can be at times. However, you wouldn't be so lucky all the time! ;)

This marks the end of my post! 

I hope you guys will search for this lovely place which is really worth the time! We can't ensure that you will share the exact experience as us but we hope that you'll have a lovely one in any way.

House @ Dempsey Hills

Well lets just say that this place is indeed a sight for sore eyes.

Welcome to House @ Dempsey Hills people!
Or some might call House @ Barracks but either way here's a short review

on their Vintage High Tea Party! :) 

It's pretty much what you can find on a typical High Tea. Except well, there's teriyaki chicken and beef burgers lying around, so for those extraordinary famished people, here's a plus point. What I enjoyed most was how friendly the staff were and kudos to those who were working on that day! We were immediately addressed upon arrival and they did not hesitate to always refill the guest's cups. ( And yes you have an option of vanilla sky tea or some ginger tea which I could not recall.)

They have a lovely looking interior and exterior garden, but in all honesty it has been my second time here yet I saw none sitting on the outside benches so I'm not really sure whether you can eat on the outside or not but nonetheless back to the main topic! Their food!

As you can see here their foods are placed in an oh so lovely manner, on cute looking plates and also some on the books! We apologize for the lack amount of picture food cause by the time we reached, all the nice looking foods probably ski-daddled to someone's tummy but all in all they still refilled the foods but take note, not all the foods would be refilled, for instance their amazing macaroons. And I could not help but to emphasize that their food was real tasty, I have to say this cause it was really that good but on a lighter note, you might get bored of the food. Haha, yes you might get bored with it. Cupcakes, cakes, pastries, skinny pizzas and some meat here and there so there isn't much of a selection but nonetheless tasty food as always. Also I would like to recommend that you book seats here before coming as it tends to get overcrowded around noon, even just the start of the High Tea, so I think it would be advisable that one should book seats before coming here.
Oh and here is a plus point, come in wearing in the 20's, 80's or anything retro and you would get a 10% discount! Talk about luck! ;D
Lastly the cost of the whole High Tea was acceptable I have to say,
costs $35++ nett per pax :)

basically we had a great time here and we don't mind coming back for another round.

Other than their vintage high tea they also have their daily brunch menu which I find it kind of pricey but it's worth every penny I reckon! Prepare at least about a $50 might I suggest, if you want a decent lunch here though.

You should try their truffle fries and Roast Chicken which was simply ravishing! Its really really an experience you wouldn't want to miss!!

So to get here is kinda of a hassle but it would be worth it.

Alight at Commonwealth and take bus 174 and alight at Opp Pierce Road
OR

Alight at Queenstown and take bus 105 and alight at Opp Pierce Road .

It's kind of near to the Botanic Gardens so why not take a little stroll after the walk? Cheers to the weekends ahead! :)
