Sunny Saturday, sunglasses is a MUST! :)
:) Mr decided to drive out for our weekly Saturday date!
Picked me up slightly later because he missed the exit and went all the way to NTU. -__-" I guess can't blame him too much since I usually drive myself home and he, on the other hand, will be busy with his iPhone.
Anyway, first stop was to get some food for a late brunch. I came across this cafe: Department of Caffeine from Instagram and decided to give it a try.
1-page menu
We did not make any reservations and tried our luck with walk-in. It was quite crowded partly due to a birthday party celebration which took up most of the seats.
So we had to wait, and in the end, we were only left with the bar seats facing the road, aka beside the main door. Limited varieties on your menu, but enough to be spoil for choice. Usually when it's my first time to a cafe, I couldn't make up my mind on what to order. It's like you wanna try something new, but also want to eat something simple and see whether it's up to the standard. *LOL!*
We ordered a starter, a main & a cup of Mocha since Mr. is not feeling too well that day.
Starter: Soba noodles, wakame & herb salad, $12 (regular)
Very refreshing and the soba are just nicely cooked. Simple, yet easy on your taste buds. *Like!* Portion is quite big, so would recommend to share this if you're planning to order another main for yourself. :)
Main: From the Kitchen: D.O.C Breakfast Platter, $18
The picture said it all: Scrambled eggs & bacon with the meatloaf on toasted brioche, served with tomato confit & cheese bocconcini.
Ok, so I'm supposed to comment on the brioche, but my 1st bite was the tomato and it was so soft and juicy. HAHAHA! Scrambled eggs are quite normal, tasted like just another sandwich. Not too bad, but have tasted better. :)
Definitely going back to try out other main courses. ^^
I'm not a caffeine addict / lover, just occasionally have the urge to have a cuppa. :)
*Caffeine will eat my iron away! NOOOOO!*
Coffee art is quite standard, not sure was it because the place was crowded and the art done is simple to cater to everyone. I have seen some 3D art works and definitely wanna go see them! I know I would not want to drink and destroy all the art work! *LAUGHS!*
:) Enjoying his breakfast platter, and always on the lookout for the Summon Auntie! *LOL!*
Department of Caffeine
Telephone: 6223 3426 (remember to make a reservation!)
Opening Hours: 10:30 am - 7:30 pm
After the quick brunch, we went to collect some stuff near Central, and we had no choice but to pass the ERP which cost $2!!! *OMG!* Seriously, driving in Singapore is not CHEAP! For the sake of convenient? No, I would still prefer public transport. *_*
2nd part of the day: Garden by the Bay to visit the Tulipmania! ^_^!
While on our way, the magnificent Singapore Flyer
The iconic Super trees at GBTB
The trip was supposed to be see all the tulips bloom, but the day before, they changed all the buds so most of them were not fully open yet. Quite wasted as I wanted to see a whole field of tulips.
Some random photos of the flowers........
:) Weather is good, and inside the dome is quite cooling.
The Holland-themed pavilion with lots of wooden clogs hanging around :)
We managed to clear both domes within 2 hours, before rushing down to Kallang for the Nike She Runs 2013.
Here's a preview, will upload more in the next post! :)
And also, more on the Taiwan trip, which is super long overdue! -______-"
