Saybons

Chanced upon this shop while i was randomly walking around in J8. The cafe is small, but packed with people on a weekday night. Had to wait for while before i could get a seat.

The first thing that caught my eyes was the escargot on the menu. There are quite some variety to choose from, and i had the mushroom ones. There are finely chopped walnuts on top of the bread crumbs, which does not enhanced the taste. But other than that, the escargot is yummy! The butter taste is rich, and goes great with the bread that is complementary with it. I ordered another item, which is the smoked salmon with cheese crepe. They are generous with their ingredient, and the crepe is served piping hot! Highly recommended

A small outlet on the second floor of the shopping centre.There is about 25 seats in the place. Not much people dine in. Most customers are for takeaway.Got a number tag after paying for my order at the cashier.Having Salmon Onion Cheese Crepe ($6.20)Very cheesy inside with slices of salmon and slices of onion. The edges of the crepe is very crispy. The crepe is also very thin. Overall very tasty.

I also topup $4.80 for a soup and side. Wild Mushroom Soup (usual : $3.90)
The soup is has a lot of finely chopped mushroom, but not very flavourful. For side, I select chip from a choice of chips, fruit, ice tea.

This is the best ever mushroom soup i've tasted. It doesn't taste like those from the cans at all. This is simply fabulous! The taste is really yummy and also it is thick and fragrant. You must give it a try! I have no complains with this stall at all. Service is perfect and also their food! The only thing they need to improve perhaps is their signboard menu. It wasn't clearly stated and menu wasn't presented at the cashier counter. Also, the place is really small thus not having enough seats.

My first time trying Saybon’s Tomato soup. Although the price of $3.30 for a small cup of soup may be abit high, but it is definitely worth it. The tomato soup is thick and creamy. It is full of flavour and could taste real tomato bits within almost every mouthful of soup. It brings out taste of sweetness with mild sourness of fresh tomato. And don’t see that it is small so it will not be satisfying. Instead, I get pretty full after finishing the whole cup of tomato soup!

Yummy wild mushroom soup and Facaccia bread from saybons.

I like their mushroom soup. Wild mushroom are blended to very very tiny so can swallow easily. The soup is not salty or strong in milk taste which make it acceptable for many people.

The Facaccia bread is not really special. I find it just a normal bread. I order as take away. Perhaps i should eat it hot or toast before i eat.

I have added a new love to my favourite food list, it is crepe. Ever since I tried the crepe at saybons, I was completely hooked on. It is quite hard to find crepes in Singapore, not to mention nice crepes. I completely adore their bacon cheese and egg while my girlfriend prefers the mushroom and cheese one. The crepes are very light and with the ingredients, you do not have a hungry feeling in your tummy after eating. I reckon this is the nicest crepe I have eaten.

Happened to see a 1-for-1 promotion at Saybons Junction 8 outlet for its Ham & Cheese crepe, and so 2 of us decided to grab a chance to try this out. The little outlet had about a dozen or so seats and it looks cosy.Our crepes were served to us fresh from the oven, and I could feel the ham and cheese melting in my mouth as I bit into mine. The crepe was thinly sliced and very crispy.

A very yummy snack for tea, I must say!

I had the seafood bisque soup for lunch. I was considering to have a crepe as well, a dessert crepe, specifically the banana and nutella one. I skipped it anyway, had my soup with focaccia bread instead.

The soup here is good but somewhat different. It’s flavorful but not chunky. Also, they serve them in a mug instead of a bowl.
