Cafe hopped to new places!!
Well, these places are not exactly super new, but who has the time to keep up with all the different cafes sprouting up across the island?! Instead of going to our favourite cafes like Symmetry and Wimbly Lu, I wanted to go somewhere a little different to celebrate R's birthday. Did a bit of research and decided on Anthesis and The Audacious Cakery (or any other cafes at Everton Park).
Anthesis is located along Robertson Quay, with the popular brunch places like Kith cafe and Toby's Estate. I made a reservation for our date, but it wasn't particularly crowded, so I guess it's pretty safe to walk in if you decide to make a last minute visit.
The interior decor has a modern industrial touch, reminiscent of The Providore.
Both of us ordered the Truffled Eggs Benny (S$18). The eggs were perfection. You can't go wrong with runny egg yolks with a touch of truffle oil. The bacon was a little hard and salty, but I think it goes well with the eggs. I'm not a fan of the sausage though. It was mediocre at best and a little too salty for my preference.
Prices on the menu includes GST and we were quite surprised to find that they don't have service charge. The entire meal completed with great customer service and a delightful ambience only cost us S$36. I think that's pretty good price for a brunch along Robertson Quay.
Next, we went all the way to Everton Park. I've always wanted to explore Everton Park, but we're usually too lazy and unadventurous lol.
Everton Park is actually quite an old estate. The cafes in the area are all under HDB blocks, kinda like how you would expect to find mama shops. This guide to Everton Park is quite useful if you're keen on exploring the area! We wanted to visit Nylon cafe initially, but we didn't manage to find it, so we decided to try out The Audacious Cakery.
We ordered Smores Cupcake (S$4), Lemon Meringue Tart (S$5.80) and Cappuccino (S$5.50).
The Smores Cupcake was a tad too sweet for my liking. But I really like how fluffy the marshmallow was.
Girls will love this Lemon Meringue Tart! It's really sour and refreshing and I recommend having it together with something sweet to balance out the taste buds. It's one of the best lemon meringue tarts I've tried! Highly recommended, unless you're not a fan of zingy desserts!
Lastly, we had a Cappuccino that was made from Chye Seng Huat's coffee beans. The cappuccino was quite fragrant, but we felt that it was a little diluted. If you're a coffee lover, definitely go straight to Chye Seng Huat or Papa Palheta to get your fix!
And so, we conquered 2 new cafes in 1 day!
