Chillax place to enjoy some quiet

Kooka Cafe is an Australian cafe located at Purvis Street. I went on a weekend lunch hour and there was not much people in the cafe, hence it was rather quiet. The dim lights and dark wooden furnishings creates a very comfy and soothing atmosphere; a conducive environment for a lazy afternoon chill-out spot.

 An item perfect for any day for brunch, the Omelette on Toast comes in two variations and I chose the Bacon, Mushroom and Tomato. The egg was not overcooked nor undercooked, hence very fluffy and fragrant. The sauteed mushrooms inside the Omelette was also very juicy and flavourful, offering much earthy flavour to the egg. The bacon’s taste also enhanced the taste of the dish by adding sufficient saltiness to the dish, yet not ruining the texture as it was cooked to perfection without the chewiness of undercooked bacon or being hard and tough from being overcooked. The tomato added a very refreshing zest to the egg, and the toast at the bottom was fluffy in the inside but crisp on the surface; definitely a great dish to have to start the day right!

 This little babies caught my attention when I was ordering the Omelette on Toast and the coffee and I decided to get them after my meal. These cute little cookies is a cuisine originating from Australia called Yo-Yos and they are cookies with a cream cheese filling (as I am told). These cookies are more similar to shortbread in texture and tasted like a much lighter version too. The cream cheese isn’t as sour as those store-bought ones and felt a bit sweeter, and hence less jialat. It would be a pleasure to have as a tea time biscuit to compliment a cup of coffee or tea.

Hidden cafe
2013-07-24 9 views
I would say that Kooka Cafe is a hidden gem located around Bugis area! It is located at the very far end of Purvis Street, and I guess not many know of this cafe yet. As everywhere else was crowded, my group of friends and I decided to have dinner here! The menu is fairly simple, offering a few choices of sandwiches, wraps, salads, cakes and drinks. Most of the food items are below $15. I love the atmosphere of this cafe, it feels very relaxed, cosy and warm. I ordered a Tuna Wrap, which came wi

Their sandwiches and wraps are priced within the range of $7-9 and their coffee $5-6. I will come back again most probably to try their lunch sets and cakes!

Cakes that are definitely worth a try
2012-09-05 7 views
Kooka Cafe is a small cosy cafe hidden amongst the shophouses on Purvis street. Despite its low profile in the local cafe scene, it is definitely a cafe worth going for the delicious cakes baked by the Australian co-owner herself. The carrot cake is definitely worth trying. It is moist and soft, with added flavour from the walnuts and nicely topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting. The orange almond cake is equally good.

Kooka Cafe is a small cosy cafe hidden amongst the shophouses on Purvis street. Despite its low profile in the local cafe scene, it is definitely a cafe worth going for the delicious cakes baked by the Australian co-owner herself.

The carrot cake is definitely worth trying. It is moist and soft, with added flavour from the walnuts and nicely topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting. The orange almond cake is equally good. It is served warm and moist, comes with a nutty almond taste and a nice orange fragrance. The cakes cost between $6-$7 (subject to 7% GST) and goes perfectly well with a hot cup of coffee/tea.

What's even better? For $1.50+, you can already satisfy your sweet tooth with a slice of lamington, an Australian specialty sponge cake coated in chocolate frosting and covered in coconut shavings.

The cafe itself also has a very laid-back and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for catching up with a few friends over some cakes and drinks.
