Strangers’ Reunion, located a 10 minutes walk away from Outram Park MRT station (Exit F), is one of the more renowned cafes in Singapore. The place has quite a following for their waffles, which is purportedly so good that the owners have opened Waffle Slayer - a cafe dedicated to an expanded menu of waffles, right beside it.

The brown-hued interior is everything you expect in a standard café, hipsterfurnishings with industrial lighting. Spacious, the place also has powerpoints
(though no wifi), making it a pretty good option to park yourself at with a
book/laptop for a lazy afternoon.
Strangers' Reunion Menu
The menu is pretty extensive. All-day breakfast options are till 5pm on weekdays, and thereare sides and waffles along with the usual beverages.
Buttermilk Waffles with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Buttermilk Waffles with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and fresh fruits ($12.90)The verdict for the much raved-about waffles?
It really is great. It’s a slightly different style from Creamier’s (by
far my best), but I liked the fragrant aftertaste and crispy texture. It yields
with a nice crackle to the knife while the inside isn't too soft yet fluffy enough. Get it.
Truffle Fries
Truffle Fries ($12.90)We wanted the truffled sweet potato fries, but it was unavailable. So, we
settled for the truffle fries. Sadly, the fries itself didn’t really live up to
expectations because the truffle fragrance was nary there. The shoestring
weren’t exactly all crisp with a nice fluffiness inside, but the garlic mayo
dip that came with it saved it. Now that was good.
Ham and Goat's Cheese Omelette
Ham and Homemade Goat's Cheese Omelette ($15)The ham and goat cheese omelette with tomato relish was decent, that is, if you are
ok with the slight pungency of goat’s cheese. The portion was pretty
substantial as well, but the bread that came with it was crusty hard. The taste
of the entire combination reminded me of indian food somehow. Not a
miss, but neither a hit too.
What struck me most here, (and why I’d return) would be the attentive service and friendlystaff. Our bottle of water was promptly replaced once finished (not once but
thrice and also even when we shifted tables as well). Plus, they did not chase
us once we finished our food and also as I am typing here now, when the café is
filling up fast. This service standard was extended to our customers too. So go
ahead, visit and remember to get the waffles.
