The Assembly Ground is all things hipster except for its location. Taking a different approach as compared to other cafes, this newly sprung up cafe that took over the space owned by the previous tenant, Gramaphone in The Cathay. Movie-goers can now look forward to enjoying a cuppa and a chillin' spot before and after going to the cinemas.
Their Eggs Benji ($16) was served with double poached eggs and ham doused with hollandaise sauce - all resting atop not-too-toasted buttery brioche. For the non-picky eaters, it would be wonderful as the poached eggs had yolks that were slightly runny and well, the rest can't get too wrong. Nonetheless, I found that it wasn't value-for-money at a whopping $16 - you could easily get the same satisfaction at half this price elsewhere (Hint: W39).
Their pulled pork pizza ($18) was interesting; pulled pork was usually seen in burgers. I liked how it made a complement with these pizzas that were baked to crispy crunchiness even though it is a little dry. I also tried their bacon croquettas ($10), give crumbly floury potato balls that was deep fried to satisfying crunchiness. For the food, I found them ridiculously priced very high. Sure, there was rent to think of, but if you want to think about the demographics of the crowd hangs around here (ie. teenagers, young adults) - I doubt they can afford to keep coming in here and pay such a price as a pre- or post- movie spot to chill out.
You are better off trying out the drinks. This is my green tea latte ($5.50) which was brewed to delicious exquisiteness, a balance of strong matcha and distinct caffeine taste.
