Had the chance to visit Supply & Demand at the Esplanade Bay Mall with OpenRice and Between App (Thanks!)
A modern Peruvian-Italian restaurant that serves really good food at affordable prices.



The cheapest parking nearby should be Marina Mandarin hotel (a short distance away, opposite esplanade) – only $2.20/entry after 5pm! We parked there and took a nice stroll to the Esplanade Bay.

The interior boast of a homely industrial chic style with its brass pipes, hanging incandescent light bulbs, brick walls, steel chairs, cemented seats, and huge warm-colored cushions peppered around to add on a relaxing composition.



Oh, not to forget, Supply & Demand houses a really cool rooftop bar. The open-air bar felt all cosy and romantic, making one yearn for a night long of chilling and gazing at the picturesque ferris-wheel.



The main courses - pastas and pizzas - are generally in the $15-$20 range. Pretty decent for a restaurant situated in such a centralized location and it comes with a splendid view of the MBS/CBD skyline if you’re seated at the alfresco area.

Tasting pasta - $11-$16
Full pasta - $15-$22

9" Pizza - $17
13" Pizza - $21

The menu has over 20 flavours of pizzas, so great news for pizza lovers!
The only down-side is, there aren't photos in the menu. Personally I find it hard to read menus that are purely in words. It would be good to have pictures of the Best-sellers or Chef’s recommendations at least!

Service-wise was fine for that minimal interaction we had with the service crew since it was an event and the OpenRice guys coordinated most of the stuff
Now, more on the food!


Fries with a Side of Guilt

The fries were presented in a metal tin container, in tune with the industrial chic style decor of the restaurant.
Though thickly cut, they were evenly-cooked and comes with generous servings of cheese! There is a choice of barbecue sauce at the side if you wish to add more flavour to it, though personally I don't see the need at all



Parma Ham with Arugula Salad

I'm not a fan of parma ham or salads, so I didn't exactly try the appetiser :X
Mel likes it quite alot though, citing it is one of the better ones he have tasted.




All'Arrabbiata $15
Classic Italian Fiery Hot Garlic Infused Tomato Sauce

"Arrabbiata" means "angry" in Italian, referring to the chilli peppers in the pasta sauce.
However, being a non-chilli lover, I could accept this dish perfectly! (okay, just slightly cheating with my iced drink lol) Apparently, the sauce has been managed to suit local taste more
An unique twist to this common Italian pasta introduced by Supply & Demand is the minced meat added to the sauce.



La Mattina Dopo $17
(The Morning After)
Tomato sauce, Mozarella, Bacon and Mushroom With An Soft Egg Set In The Center

Fans of runny yolks will probably squeal in delight like me
Mel and I shared the soft, runny yolk with a slice of pizza each, almost immediately after the pizza was served (after quick snapshots of cos heh).
The pizza crust was thin, crispy and yet fluffy to taste. Even the portion covered by the soft egg was not soggy at all.
Dough of pizzas are made in-house daily, and baked to order, ensuring fresh pizzas for you anytime!
Ingredients were well-spread over the entire pizza, though being greedy foodie us, we wished there can be more bacon/mushrooms if possible to make the pizza less "plain". But, the slight "plain-ness" could be due to the fact that we slurped up the runny egg too soon instead of spreading it over the pizza! Oops!



Textured Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel $11

This cake was amazing! I finished the bulk of it even though I was so full from trying the pizzas and huge portion of the All'Arrabbiata pasta earlier on.
Like I always tell my friends, salted caramel with chocolate will never go wrong..
Uneven sizes of chunky chocolate bits at the top, plus some tiny bits in-between the layers of the cake added to the texture - as the name of the dessert suggests - and gives extra bite to it.
The salted caramel was rich and just right, not too overpowering or underwhelmed by the chocolate.

Thanks for reading!

Bridger’s café is hidden at the ground level of Watermark Robertson Quay Condo – right opposite the usual Robertson quay area we normally visit. If you’re familiar with Miramar hotel, Bridger’s café just across the road from there, can be accessed via the bridge.

Do not let the humble, unpretentious setup and vibe fool you ;) This place has rather good food. It is a rather homely café with food tasting like what a mother would prepare for her family - simple and full of love The owners (boss and lady boss) would personally do the cooking, ordering and serving all by themselves giving you a chance to interact directly with them. A lovely, cozy café indeed.Prices are all below $15, which makes it one of the more value-for-money cafés in town.

There are indoor seats, albeit a bit squeezed. If the weather is kind enough, I would recommend having the alfresco seating area where you can dine by the tranquil riverside.

Turkish Eggs with Premium Sausages and Mozzarella Cheese $5.80
The Turkish eggs comes with 2 pieces of toast, similar to the Tunisian breakfast where you can dip your toasts into the sizzling pan of runny cheese egg “gravy” or have them with the sausages. This is the non-spicy version though Smoked Salmon Carpaccio Salad $12.50
This salad has a combination of various textures and tastes – soft, runny, crunchy, sweet, salty and tangy. It’s a mini fireworks explosion on your palette if you try everything on the plate at one go
Saito San Chix Burger $14.80
The Japanese-inspired chicken burger was a surprise from this small café, as it could easily give other burger house a run for their money. The patty was thick and juicy, and it comes with cheese in the middle of it. The sweet, red tomatoes slices and onions paired perfectly well with the cheesy chicken.If the weather is too warm, you have a choice of cooling down with the gelatos available. The normal flavours (Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) are at $3.50 per scoops, while others (Cookies & Cream, Salted caramel and Hazelnut) are at $3.80 per scoop. Additional scoops are at $2.80 each and waffle ice-cream cones are available for $0.70 Once again, pretty decent pricing.I had the salted caramel, which came with peanut toppings. I’m not usually a fan of peanut toppings in my ice-cream, but this time round, it was welcome as the ice-cream had not much a flavor. It was feedback to the owners and they informed that they have heard the same comments from several others too and might be changing suppliers This gives me a reason to go back for their new gelatos as well as waffles as they were sold out that evening!

First up, sashimi!I dunno what's this called. But it's damn good. Anyone knows?? They provided a mini steamboat/pot of soup for us, in case anyone doesn't like the taste of it raw.But nah, it's soooo fresh and sweet without any cooking!Looking at the pics makes me crave for it now! If i'm not wrong, it's around 100bucks for this plate of sashimi~Can't live without sauce + wasabi. Seaweed toufu with enoki mushroom.Super good too!Though just a simple dish, I've always love all 3, toufu, seaweed and enoki mushroom individually! So when put together as a dish, it's heavenly~~

Then came our main character, ta-dahhh~~We ordered 3 flavours for Sana to try.First to come, chilli crab! MUST-HAVE! The gravy goes so well with the cripsy buns that they were gone before we had any photos of them! Next, cheesy butter crab.Quite similar to watery butter egg yolk ones we have at zi char places.Replace the egg yolk with cheese that's almost undetectable.Smooth and buttery yums! Lastly, my favourite!Salted egg yolk crab! MINE. Muahahahaa.

But sadly, it wasn't as nice as the previous two.Not because we were full already ok. It just lacks of something and i find a lil' too dry~ :/For once, i prefer the chilli crab. And even the butter cheese one taste better :X

I LOVE breakfast for dinners.

When I heard of all-day breakfast served at Hatched (Evans Lodge), i knew i have to try it!

As the restaurant name suggests, they serve only mostly eggs. Poached, fried, boiled, baked, scrambled, real ones, fake ones, cartoon ones lols. You name it, they have it.

Love the old school location.Definitely have to try the egg benedict there!

They have SO MANY different types!

But all priced the same, $12 for one poached egg, $18 for two

Greedy me have two of cos.. lols.

Rise & dine! <3The fake eggs~~My Sir Benedict! Taste so goood with the cripsy strip bacon.

And there isn't the overwhelming taste of vinegar (did they even add in vinegar?) unlike some other brunch places.

And the mashed potato is dripped with thick mushroom sauce, surprisingly delicious!

In my opinion, it's better than Wild Honey, the benchmark for its famous egg benedict.

More value-for-money too! Only 18bucks.I'm craving for it now while typing!Burly Benedict which comes with minced beef instead of bacon strips.

Doesn't really go well in my opinion :X

The beef tasted slightly cold..As soon as i saw panna cotta written on the blackboard behind me, i knew i have to have that for dessert!

Doesn't look great, BUT oooh, IT'S HEAVENLY.Comes with generous serving of berries.Took a walk around the place. So serene.

What pleasure to have a peaceful breakfast there. 26 Evans Road#01-06 Evan Lodge♥
