I have always been a waffle person, waffle over pancakes anytime of the day. If your café serves waffles, you have already won half of my heart, the remaining half of course depends on the preparation, taste and display of your food. In my list of ‘Cafés to visit in the West’, Revelry tops the list.

If you are looking for an affordable place to get your salted egg fix, LeBan HK Café is an ideal location. Situated at 2 Jalan Leban, being the first stall along the stretch of shop houses, it is impossible to miss it. Besides, their vibrant coloured logo will definitely stir up your curiosity.

I have never been to Korea, but I have patronised quite a handful of Korean restaurants in Singapore to know how exquisite and delicious Korean cuisines are. And here at Vivocity, stands one of Korea’s leading BBQ Restaurants, led by celebrity chef – Jon Won Paik.

Glad to on a long break from work, giving me ample time to continue my local café hunting. Spent my weekend brunch at Froth café; located right beside the check-in lobby of Big Hotel. Unlike majority of the cafés in Singapore, this one got to be the most spacious one. Because of the huge dining area, there is enough privacy between tables, enough space to pass through.

I remember chancing upon this Italian bistro when Orchard Gateway official launched. Unfortunately, it was lunch break and the restaurant was close for staff lunch. That wasn’t the only occasion that I missed the chance to dine there. The 2nd time, arrangements were made with friends to try out their food and again, we bumped into their lunch break. It was almost as it I wasn’t fated to get a taste of their highly raved pizza.

Thanks to the girlfriend who has connection with the people from S&D, we were able to score ourselves a private dining space by the window in no time.

Last Saturday, we finally gathered after Sheryl went Korea for a 3 weeks holiday! We went for a satisfying meal at Sin Heng Claypot Bah Kut Teh before catching up at Stateland Cafe.

Girls will always do what a girl does. Lesson learnt: Picture taken from low angle makes me look terrifying. On the other hand, the girlfriend looks perfect in any angle.

We ordered the Red Velvet Waffle with Ice Cream ($14.90) to share while I got myself a cup of Hot Mocha ($4.90). When I was first introduced to the Stateland Cafe, I heard so much praises for their Red Velvet waffle that I anticipate the day I get to try it. It was definitely a clever idea to incorporate a cake's flavour into waffle, and its appearance without doubt, brought out the appetite in me. This Instagram worthy waffle however, does not taste as good as it look and is slightly over priced. It wasn't as crispy or toasted as waffles should be. Since we visited the cafe on a weekend, I'd like to give them the benefit of doubt that probably, because the cafe was crowded, the staff had to rush into things. Hopefully, my 2nd try at the waffle would be better.

On the contrary, the Peanut Butter Honey Toast ($14.90) ordered by the boys was much much more yummy. The thick-cut toast had a perfect toasted crisp on the surface and is still soft inside. I couldn't make out what was inside the bread, but it had a crunchy texture like sweet rice krispies which made me wanting more after each bite. Not to mention how tasty the combination of peanut butter spread with sliced nut was. It would be better if they allowed their customer to choose their ice-cream choices, since I'm not quite a fan of chocolate.
