(Closed Down) Eggs & Berries ( 5 Changi Business Park Central 1 - Changi City Point, #01-37/38 ) Reservation: 6636 4212

Visited on 3rd Aug 2014 (Sun). Eggs & Berries under the Food Junction Group, is an American dining concept in an eminent heartland mall. They have revamped the whole place and menu in 2014. Of course price also increased.. 

One of the best parts about the dining experience at Eggs & Berries is that, the eggs you order can be poached, over easy, sunny side-up, scrambled, or in the form of a deliciously, cheesy omelette. You can have them with waffles, pancakes, burgers, etc! So if you're an egg-lover, this will be a great place for you + the restaurant was very cosy too! 

Latte ($5 or $5.50)

The latte tasted average..

Italia Eggs Benedict Doppio ($18.90++)

Doppio means double. You can choose if you want solo (single egg) or doppio (double egg). I really love their english muffin, very crispy and nice! Their eggs were also poached to almost perfecton. Outside was a little over-cooked with runny yolk inside (forgot to take the pic of inside)  I like the parma ham to complement with the eggs benedict, just that the parma ham was very salty.. Actually I rather they remove the caviar and charge $2 lesser.. See, the caviar fell off and became so ugly when served to me... Anyway this is a very nice breakfast, remember to try this! :)

Sweet Brioche French Toast ($16.90++)

It comes with scrambled egg, caramelized banana, french toast & mixed greens. The scrambled egg was very disappointing.. Super dry and overcooked! Very bad...  The french toast doesn't taste nice like other restaurants.. It taste something like fried beancurd... I will give this breakfast a miss next time.

Homemade Creme Brulee ($4.90++)

I always like to eat their creme brulee here as i just feel happy to see it's inside a small egg glass. But i think it's too creamy.. It would taste better if it's not too creamy...

The service here was ok. There're still a lot of other items that has yet to try. Do go try other food items!

(Closed Down) JBM Coffee & Dining (One Raffles Place, #03-23/24/25 - Above Raffles Place MRT) Enquiries: 6536 1047

Visited on 2nd Aug 2014 (Sat). This is a new restaurant opened in late July 2014 by JBM Coffee Works serving French cuisine as well as a one stop place for all coffee lovers for a sophiscated siphon to brew a cup of artisan coffee. The service here was ok, but lack of warm smile from the staff. Aircon was quite cold here during the weekends so do bring a jacket along.  The settings of the restaurant was very comfortable and semi elegant. Good for friends catch up or couples on a date as this is a quiet place for dining/coffee except weekday lunch is slightly crowded.

The restaurant is split into 3 sections. These are the front seats..

The seats at the centre section

And this is the last section..

Their kitchen at the back

JBM Special Ice Latte with Hazelnut ($7.20++)

Their hazelnut ice latte was very good, can taste it's from good coffee!

The Golden Hen ($23++)

This is a very small half spring chicken which i don't think it's enough for sharing between 2 pax. There was some broth underneath the chicken which tasted quite nice - buttery with peppery taste. But what turned me off was too much garlic in it! The chicken looked very pale in colour, doesn't look like the golden hen in their menu. The taste of the chicken was quite bland if you don't dip with the broth together. Overall this dish lack of flavorful taste, still need some improvement. Naturally we will compare this with the popular chicken at Poulet (Not the same but something similar) Poulet is selling at $15.90++ and here is selling at $7 more so we would expect better taste.

Yellow Submarine ($12++)

This is my favourite dessert! A very light and airy Passion fruit souffle with a scoop of Vanilla bean ice-cream and orange tuile that delighted my taste buds! I'm surprised that the passion fruit souffle does not taste that sour. The sourness was very very mild and natural type which gives me a very happy feeling. The souffle was super soft and the sugar cubes underneath the vanilla bean ice-cream tasted very nice as well. This is a great dessert to complete the meal! :)

Will try this little froggy the next time!

Overview for this place: The price here is not cheap, a little steep for the portion of food given. Not filling for me, end up still have to go to the food court upstairs to eat some more.. hahaha... But i must say the standard of their coffee, food and dessert are slightly almost above average. Best thing is no need to queue here and can eat quietly during the weekends. Their specialty is coffee so don't forget to order any of their coffee!

Revisited on 8th Aug 2014 (Fri) to try their Weekday Set Lunch. ($22++ Per Set)

Soup of the day (Cream of Vegetables)

I find it ok only as I prefer a tad salty type of soup, but this is more to sweet type of soup..

Minced Duck Fresh Green Salad with champagne dressing

 I love this minced duck. It's salty and appetising!


Chicken Schnitzel with French Fries & Paprika Hollandaise

 This chicken schnitzel has a crispy exterior with quite tender meat inside. Best thing is this is a very big portion. Finally something bigger portion for me to get full! Hehe.. Oh and not forgetting the french fries, very nice too!

Oven Baked Wild Sea Bass Fillet

The sea bass was quite tender and the skin was crispy too. It tasted a little bland but overall still quite nice. 


Dessert for the day - Almond Custard with Rasberry

 I love this dessert, the almond custard was very smooth and the rasberry sauce was not too sour so everything tasted great to end the meal! :)

JBM Espresso Creme Brulee ($8++)

My additional order of Espresso Creme Brulee - Something special that i found here! It's more like a dessert rather than coffee. The whole cup was full of creme brulee custard with some espresso shots in it. Espresso blended very well with creme brulee, just that it's a tad too creamy..

Note: The procedure here is they will place the bill on your table after you have placed order and you can bring the bill to the counter to make payment after you're done. Water is not complimentary here, they only have bottled water which is chargeable. They do not take reservation as the restaurant is quite big and not crowded on weekends, you can just walk-in. Sometimes their weekday lunch was quite full house with office crowd while sometimes was not crowded.

Weekend Breakfast Buffet at Cali Cafe (31 Rochester Drive #01-01 - Located in Park Avenue Hotel) Reservation: 6684 9897

It's such a hassle to make reservation through phone - Book now through Chope for Instant Reservations!

Visited on 26th July 2014 (Sat). Cali Cafe is located in one of the most iconic locations of Singapore around the Rochester Park nestled within the Park Avenue Hotel. This is a California style cafe which you can find popular food choices of California including Baby Back Ribs and Steak with Fries. (The owner of this cafe were so mesmerized by the California deliciaes which is why i think the cafe is named as Cali)

Bought the Groupon voucher - $10.90 for Weekend Western Buffet Breakfast (Worth $23.40 per person). Let's look at the photos of the cafe first. The cafe is cosy and simple with 2 sections.

Simple Buffet Breakfast Items 

The buffet breakfast comes with porridge, free flow of coffee, tea, hot milk and some juices as well which are not in the photos. The presentation of the buffet breakfast here were quite terrible. Don't expect good quality food here, the standard of the food here is something like we cook ourselves at home. But worth mentioning was the scramble egg, it's really quite good, not dry and not hard, it's melt in the mouth type! 

This buffet breakfast is not recommended if the price is at $23.40 per pax but you can try their ala carte menu, heard that it's better than the breakfast buffet. Service was quite good for me that day. Plates were cleared and the guy in charge asked me to put my bag on the empty chair beside me so that i can eat comfortably. :)
