Broun Cafe is located along North Canal Road, which is walking distance from NE5 Clark Quay Station. The cafe can be easily spotted from its brown and white signage from afar. However, when I reached the cafe at nearly 12.30 noon, I was told by the waiter that they were only serving main dishes excluding wraps and stews. Yes, I was pretty disappointed as my friend recommended the wraps to me. So, my friend and I were only left with four choices of main dishes to choose from.The ambience of Broun Cafe is good, and indeed it gives a homely feeling as mentioned in its tag line 'Wholesome. Healthy. Homely'. The interior looks really simple with a live band corner.For me, I ordered the 'Herb Grilled Chicken' ($12) which is grilled chicken served with rosemary and their Broun sauce. Pretty satisfied with my main dish, especially the mashed potato and the leafy vegetables tastes good with the sweet sauce all over it. The grilled chicken is smooth and tender, I would recommend this dish to any chicken lovers!My friend ordered the 'Pan-seared Dory' ($12) which is crispy dory fish with garlic seasoning. The dory fish is indeed crispy on the outside and tastes just nice on the inside. It does go well with the mashed potato as well as the sweet sauce from the leafy vegetables. As we ordered the set meals which comes with a choice of iced lemon tea or canned drink as well as the dessert of the day. Hence, our dessert was the 'Broun-ie with Ice-cream'. The brownie was quite good, moist and warm enough to savour together with the scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

Overall, it was an enjoyable first visit to Broun Cafe. A good place to catch up with friends, maybe because it was rather quiet on weekdays afternoons. I would definitely come back to try the other main dishes, with the company of live band music!

The restaurant is quite crowded and there is always a queue outside during dinner time, so it might not be an ideal place for celebrations for big groups of people unless you make a reservation in advance.This is the first dish called 'Kapow Moo' which is actually Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves ($8.50). It may look spicy, however it still taste quite good for someone who doesn't take chilli. If you do order this, you might consider ordering a plate of Pineapple Fried Rice to match with this dish.A Thai cuisine meal isn't complete with the all-favourite, Thai Green Curry. So I tried the 'Gang Keaw Wan' ($10.90) which tastes not bad. As a fan of thick texture of curry, I feel the curry gravy might be slightly watery. Those who are like such texture, will really enjoy it with Pineapple Fried Rice as well. A famous Thai dish, the Pineapple Fried Rice which is also known as 'Khao Pad Sapparod' ($10.90) tastes yummy with the slices of fresh pineapples and sweet raisins. However, I find that the prawns taste quite raw, I wish it was cooked longer as they looked really fresh. This dish is still worth a try to those who are a fan of Pineapple Fried Rice.Last dish, the Noodles Wrapped in Egg which is known as 'Pad Thai Hor Kai' ($9.90) is served with raw beansprouts and lime. I love having Seafood Pad Thai, so decided to give this a try since it sounds quite unique to have it wrapped in an egg. However, this dish is quite disappointing as the noodles is dry, wish it was cooked with more gravy. And for the price paid, having just plain eggs and noddles might not be affordable as compared to other Thai restaurants which serve Pad Thai with Seafood.To go along with my food, I ordered a glass of 'Cha Yen' too. The cold drink tastes pretty decent.

Overall, dining at Porn's was not too bad. Despite the huge crowd in this place, I find the food is quite overrated, probably most customers are curious to dine here because it is opened by local TV host, Porsak. Hope the dishes can be served even warmer for better enjoyment. I would love to try the desserts at my next visit at Porn's!

On my second visit to 'Food for Thought' @ 8Q, I decided to try the raisin scones which were placed at the cake counter. These scones were served slightly warm, it went so well with the strawberry jam as well as the cream. The texture of jam was very sticky but it tastes really good with the scones, not too sweet, just nice. I ordered a Iced Milk Chocolate drink to match well with my raisin scones. And yes, the chocolate drink came in a huge glass at such a reasonable price of $5.50 (excluding GST and service charge). This drink will be a good choice for chocolate lovers like myself, it really taste like good quality milk chocolate, as compared to the other Iced Milk I tried at other cafes. I would want to try the Iced Dark Chocolate drink on my next visit.Overall, I enjoyed my visit there, always prefer the ambience at Queen Street rather than the one at North Bridge. Also, do give their main dishes a try too!
