Supermarket? Is that what it's called?Described as fusing the concepts of food, retail and art in a single space, you can't helped but be impressed by what you see in this cafe/store. i was definitely fascinated when i stepped into this place, not knowing what to expect. and i can't believe that i'd walked past this place so many times last year when i was working in the area and i never really noticed it! shocking, really.This is a very quaint store with simple furnishing, but has little knick
Described as fusing the concepts of food, retail and art in a single space, you can't helped but be impressed by what you see in this cafe/store. i was definitely fascinated when i stepped into this place, not knowing what to expect. and i can't believe that i'd walked past this place so many times last year when i was working in the area and i never really noticed it! shocking, really.
This is a very quaint store with simple furnishing, but has little knick knacks for sale which are pretty attractive! the artsy side of their concept lies in the paintings that they sell, from their collaboration with a various artists. it's refreshing how they change their menu daily (now how rare is that!) so that customers will always have something different to try. now isn't that the perfect excuse to visit every single day of the week? ;)
I was very pleasantly surprised, and extremely impressed with the quality of their food here! i hadn't heard much about this place, despite it being around for so long, and didn't realise how good it COULD be! definitely a hidden gem which i would revisit (:
let's just start with drinks. i admit that i was initially disappointed by the appearance of the iced chocolate, as it arrived on my table unstirred, with traces of chocolate and milk. and when i mixed it fully, it just looks like milo doesn't it? then yi exclaimed that it was goooood! and i looked at my glass sceptically. Hers looked better than mine. maybe mine wouldn't taste as nice as she'd said. i took a tentative sip. and a smooth wave of chocolate sloshed into my mouth. ahhhh i was contented. in fact, i was MORE than contented. this was so delicious!!!!! how could a glass that looks like this, taste so yummy?! a perfect example of how looks can be deceiving. this iced chocolate is nothing like expected. although it is not particularly thick (nor thin, thankfully), it had a lovely velvety texture that slowly spreads through your mouth. and the bouquet of aromas from the chocolate gently kiss your tastebuds as you savour its goodness. sounds good doesn't it? ;) this breakfast drink costs a bomb at $7.50, but it's well worth a try.
For the sausages and mash ($16) you can have a choice of herb&garlic beef or korubuta pork sausage. i opted for one of each, and to tell the truth, i couldn't identify which was which they tasted slightly different, but i really didn't know how to tell. haha. i would say that the sausages weren't fantastic...they were the typical german sausage kind i guess, with lots of spices and a tad too salty. but the mashed potato was surprising! i usually don't like to eat it much, as i find it pretty bland. but SPRMRKT's version was spiced up a notch with some butter and herbs, and it tasted amazing! everyone loved it ^^
