Located in bukit merah central, at a HDB shophouse is Butterscotch. It is a halal cafe that offers typical hipster cafe food with some interested baked and sweet treats!

I couldn't help eyeballing the sweet treats in the cake display. They had ondeh ondeh cupcakes too!

They sell churros too! They seriously have a wide variety of desserts, more so than mains! But their dining area seats about 20 pax at most. Not a very big dining area, and the tables by the walls are quite cramped. They only have one large dining table which I dined at with a party of 5.

1. Smoked Salmon Egg Benedict $16+

Smoked Salmon Egg Benedict

Smoked salmon on brioche toast with poached eggs. Sadly the toast wasn't exactly toasted. The texture was soft and not crispy at all. It was more of a soggy toast before I had even popped opn the poached eggs. But they were generous with the smoked salmon, which was the highlight of the dish!

2. Chilli Crab Cake Burger $14+

Chilli Crab Cake Burger

This was slightly too spicy for me as I usually don't take spicy foods. But the crab cake patty was nice and thick! The sauce itself was very flavourful and aromatic!

Chilli Crab Cake Burger

Crab cake served with wedges and salad topped with signature chilli crab sauce. Not many places in Singapore serve crab cakes and they're not that easy to make, the trick is to use fresh crab meat. But living in Singapore, we have to be realistic here. Crabs aren't cheap, mostly imported and I can't expect a HDB downstairs cafe to be able to deliver perfect crab cakes. So I was content with this, but definitely an eye-opener seeing this served here. Wished more cafes had the same innovativeness! This is the best way to eat chilli crab without the mess!

3. Chicken Chop with Eggs $16+

Chicken Chop with Eggs

Grilled chicken chop thigh with mushroom sauce served with wedges and coleslaw. Top up $2 for 2 sunny side ups for that extra oomph. This is quite a huge portion even for 1 pax. But then again the price reflects it's portion size. The menu recommended to pair this dish with the rather expensive $6.50+ root beer and so we did.

Sadly though, the root beer tasted just like any canned root beer and it was a complete disappointment as it really didn't go that well with the grilled chicken chop.

Nonetheless, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the mushroom sauce was yummy!

4. Ramly meets Wendy Burger $14+

Ramly meets Wendy Burger

A twist to the famous ramly burger - beef patty wrapped in an omelette served with shitake mushrooms, wedges and tomatoes. This was an alright burger, nothing to rave about. Get the chilli crab burger instead.

5. Ondeh Ondeh Waffles $12+ *highly recommended*

Ondeh Ondeh Waffles

Pandan waffles served with ice cream topped with coconut flakes and gula melaka sauce. Probably my no.1 waffles as a self declared waffle evangelist. GO TRY IT! It's worth the effort of travelling down to Bukit Merah! The waffles had a slight fragrance of Pandan but once, placed into your mouth. You brain deciphers that this is a taste of coconut heaven with gula melaka sauce. Okay the ice cream was vanilla, but with the gula melaka sauce, it kind of tricks your brain into thinking it's a gula melaka ice cream.

Ondeh Ondeh Waffles

The ice cream itself was smooth and creamy, with a consistent texture. The ice cream survived my rather long phototaking session. It was a champ!

6. Butterscotch Souffle with Vanilla ice cream $14+

Butterscotch Souffle with Vanilla ice cream

Waiting time was 30-45mins. The souffle smelt great upon arrival at our table, but sadly once we dug in, we realized it was literally pure liquid inside. Maybe it wasn't baked long enough? I've only have Souffle experiences in Japanese-chain dessert/coffee places so unless those were the bad experiences. This was a first for me!

It was literally an eggy drink. But the top layer stayed crispy enough to give you a slight bite!

7. Cheesy Wedges $9+

Their cheesey wedges were great! Even for an appetizer, I had to control myself from finishing off this entire plate by myself! The cheesy viscosity of the sauce was PERFECT!

For the location that they are in, I feel that their prices are abit high. But the service seemed alright. It was also partially self service, as you had to go and grab your water, and also walk up to the cashier to make payment.

The food here has some hits and misses. But the ondeh ondeh waffles is enough to bring me back again!
