My cousin from overseas just came back to singapore and since he has longheard about the fanciful cafes located around Singapore. I decided to bought him and the rest of our siblings to stranger's reunion after reading reviews from other openricers ( thanks!)

We ordered quite an amount of food which bills came up to $158.
Recommended drinks like 'Magic' , 'Latte', 'Piccolo Latte' and 'Cappuccino'.
And also seem most of the people recommended to try the waffles. we have ordered almost all the buttermilk waffles except for waffles with strawberry maceration and ice cream to try out.

Under the buttermilk waffles there are:

(1)- with artisan greek yogurt and fresh fruit, $11.50
(2)- with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit, $11.50
(3)- with maple syrup and fresh fruit, $11

My apology that not all waffles photos are here as all of us were simply gluttons by the time we have our seats and food being served to us. so only managed to snap a few photos

The waffles tasted the same for all, what's makes it different is the combination with different ingredient such as yogurt, maple syrup and ice-cream. After trying all four, i would feel that the one with ice cream is the best (2). Follow by (1) and (3).

For (1), as the waffles is not crispy but rather soft, when it goes with the liquid form yogurt, the whole mouth of waffles just turned out to be too liquefy inside and left no chance for chewing of biting ( kind of like swallowing the mouth is better than biting) hmm, the process is like biting one-mouth and the next mouth you know, you will need to swallow down fast.

As for the waffles with maple syrup (3), sadly to say that the maple syrup is just too much for the waffle. When taste, I could only feel the maple syrup taste with sweetness came overwhelming inside my mouth. Need to drink a couple cups of water just by eating probably 1/8 of it. Maybe it would be better if the maple syrup weren't that much amount. But anyway, if you are a sweet person maybe you would like it ;) cause personally i prefer more neutral flavour then too extreme on the taste.

The drinks (thou sadly is not made by the Ryan ) still presented it to us well and pretty . Coffee lovers would love it as it taste very coffee (bitterness taste) cause even the cappuccino also tasted bitter when first tried. Really like how the way they made their coffees. Not too sweet, but if you find it too bitter you can also add some sugar, just request the cute little sugar jar ( as seen in the image above) from those good-looking and friendly staffs.

Apart from the coffees and waffles, we have also ordered the 'truffle fries with truffle aioli and parmesan cheese' is it a big bowl of fries but doesnt came cheap as it cost $12.90. The fries is addictive as we just keep on eat and eat non-stop >-< a must order i would say, if you like fries.

Above all, it is a nice experience to dine at Strangers' Reunion. It is a cozy place to hang out with friends, and also a hiding place to laze and read your favourite books. Would definitely be back again ! and perhaps maybe make some friends with the 'strangers'. haha.

菜谱 Menu

If anyone of you are staying around north area and would like to have a family day out e.g. On a Sunday to dine, I would strongly recommend you guys to try MAYIM which is located at Northpoint Shopping Centre.

Initially, I have this stereotype thinking that restaurant in a mall would be expensive and standard would be so-so. But Mayim changed this concept of mine, not only that i find the pricing is reasonable since its main dishes is usually below < $10, the food is tasty as well! It's so value-for-money, it amazed me!

One look at the menu, you will find a wide range of variety being offered, as they have noodles such as Ramen, Wanton Mee, White Rice, Fried Rice, Porridge, and 2 pages of dim sum to spoil the foodie for choices!

Speaking of it, I am hungry again! As I am dining with my parents, my dad decided to order something heavy like the fried rice as seen above and Hor Fun to be shared and eat among us.

The must ordered i would say is the KIMCHI! Especially those kimchi lovers out there. You must try their chinese-style of kimchi ! The combination of the cabbage and sweet and spicy sauce is simply perfect. We can go on and on by simply eating the kimchi alone. Since the kimchi is FREE-FLOW and count by 50cents per head. Why not!?

So friends, next time when you past by Northpoint and would like to find a restaurant to go. I strongly recommend Mayim to you

I always like to patronize this tze char stall with my family as the food is sumptuous! But a side note - do ask them for less oil and salt as sometimes when they have a crowd, our food can get too oily, if not too salty

Therefore, if you are a health conscious person you may want to let the person know when taking down your order. I forgot what is the name of the vegetable as it was ordered by my dad, but I can comment that their vegetables is a must try due to its crunchiness and not vegetable is not too cooked till it became soft.

The crispy skin chicken as recommended by the staff, tastes good as well, as the skin is crispy enough and goes well with the sauce it came with - can eat a lot of rice just by ordering the chicken dish itself.

Lastly, the egg, as you can see and exactly what you are seeing, the egg is as nice as how its look ! So eggy! With outside hard and crispy at the sides and soft in the inside, the egg just tasted awesomely nice. I would say the feeling of how one eat pouched egg, since that is the western kind of feeling. When you eat this egg, you will experiences the Chinese style of feeling. so yum yum!

The pricing of these dishes are reasonable. The vegetables were below $10 and meat were less than $15. Thus the meal itself cost less than $30 for 3 persons. Which I think is worthwhile for the taste and tze char eating experiences.

Immediately after I ended my lessons, I headed over to Toast Box and ordered a banana cake and a cup of coffee. On that day, i have the craving for cakes and i remembered the Banana Cake from Toast Box. I am a banana lovers hence i can't resist the temptation of the banana cakes whenever i walked passed there. The cake is very spongy, light and fluffy. Together with a cup of black coffee, it just helps to brighten up my days. For coffee lovers and cake lovers, do try the coffee and cakes at Toast Box. It might be a little pricey for some people. However, by spending a little bit more, you get to sit down and relax at Toast Box with a cake and cup of coffee after long hours of lessons is worthwhile.

Went to Bishan Subway after watching movie. There wasn't anyone at the queue up line, so the moment I stepped in I got to order straight away. The staff saw me and greeted me with a smile and asked me politely : " Miss, what would you like to have?" I replied, "Hearty Italian, tuna set meal."

One thing I love about subway is that it gave me the idea of "Want to eat something that is healthy, come over to Subway!" Sometimes, I get sick of eating noodles or rice, I would head over to Subway and grab a sandwich. I love to choose Hearty Italian as the bread is soft and crispy. After it is placed inside the oven, it became more crispier. It tastes super awesome when the cheese melted on the tuna.

When it comes to the vegetables section, I will always tell the staff i would like to have "fresh cut". Fresh cut refers to just cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuces, red onions and green (bell) peppers. So those who loves to eat veggies above in the fresh cut, you may like to try saying it to the staff and you don't have to say them one by one.

For the sauces, I will choose the 100% fat-free section which is red wine and honey mustard !
