Occupying the space of the previous Chung Hwa Free Clinic, a place that I have passed by numerous times but failed to notice that it is actually a cafe within even though the bright coloured lights did catches my eye.
This place is so different from those modern cafes. With no fanciful renovation, this nostalgic looking cafe gives you a comfortable and down-to-earth feel.
Love the quote displayed at the corner "ANYONE CAN BE COOL, BUT AWESOME TAKES PRACTICE".
The staff, led by a team of caucasians, displayed the fun factor in them who are also warm and friendly making you feel so at home.
As the menu isn't presented in the way that we are so used to, it did took us quite awhile to figure it out.
Other than ala carte order, they do offer set lunch priced at S$24 which includes any soft drinks, any wrap, hot coffee or tea and a scoop of ice cream/sherbet.
We didn't go for the recommended and popular My Awesome Salad as we wanted something to be able to fill our hungry stomachs.
So this is what we ordered instead.
Beef Lasagna, Bread & Salad Leaves (S$17)
Wasn't really a fan of lasagna but my dining partner wanted to try this. To my pleasant surprise, this is totally different from what I have tasted elsewhere. The texture is soft & creamy with loads of ground beef and it doesn't make you feel greasy. Some may find it too moist though.
My Awesome Sandwich (S$17)
This comprises of Smoked Salmon, Herbs Chicken Breast, Duck Rillettes and Parma Ham. Choose between soft or crusty bread for your sandwich and I opted for soft bread this time round. Salmon is fresh with the perfect smoky taste. Chicken breast its surprisingly tender and the herbs spread complements it. As for the duck rillettes, it taste good but is a little salty. In my opinion, this would taste better with crusty bread instead.
Awesome Hot Choc (Hand-Crafted Swiss) S$5.50
Hot chococlate is my must try beverage when I visits cafe. The one they serve here has a strong milky taste. Definitely for milk lovers.
Mocha (S$6)
Aromatic strong coffee taste. Coffee lovers will know how to appreciate this better.
The pricing might be a little on the high side but it balances off with the quality of the food they serve. Will return to try their My Awesome Salad.
