Tucked along Joo Chiat Road, JC Coffee Houzz simply exudes old school vibes marriage with modern lines. First impression of this cafe reminded me Col Bar Cafe at 9A Whitchurch Rd. Both serving popular foods during Singapore's colonial days, such as Hainanese Pork Chop Rice and Western fare, but with a modern touch here at JC Coffee Houzz.
Hainanese Pork Chop Rice ($9.6) - Reminded me of a home-cooked meal and life's simple pleasure. I can't say that it was superb and neither was it bad. A thicker cut may have sealed the deal?
Grilled Pork Chop ($10.8) - Nice char grilled flavour given to the tender pork. JC Coffee Houzz got to super size it to justify its price!
On top of colonial day's food and western fare, dim sum are available too! Liu Sha Bao (Salted Egg Custard Bun @ $4.8) was the way to go.
Desserts are available as well. Wanted to go for waffles ($7.8 and $10.8), but I gotta be a little more conservative with my spending! For coffee lovers, coffee filtered with socks are the way to go here!
The restaurant sets a great location for group gatherings, business meetings, or romantic dinners that would bring people together for a meal of comfort food.

"Salted Caramel", what comes to your mind when these words come to mind? ICE CREAM! Since opening its doors in 2011, Salted Caramel Artisan Ice Cream has been drawing quite a crowd to their unpretentious parlor located along Upper Thomson Road. Why? Simply because of the large array of flavours and affordable pricing!
Single scoop ($3.6), Double ($6.4) and Triple ($9.2), pretty good deal isn't it? Each scoop was a little small, but not complaining either!
We all had one waffle ($4) each. I had Stout & Chocolate with Salted Caramel, Sha (@bodybuildingsingapore) had Salted Caramel while Yong Sheng (@decatan_sg) had Vanilla with Cookies & Cream.
Similar waffle pricing as Fatcat Cafe, but standard was two worlds apart. Well, it wasn't that bad, but simply not defined as "Good" in my dictionary.
Similarly, Ice Cream was a 6/10 if I were to grade them.
Overall, it was fun timing hanging out with the lads with the company of sweet treats! If Ice Cream isn't satisfying, you can pop by next door for some Prata and TehTarik at The Roti Prata House!

It may be a 10 minutes walk from Lavender Mrt station, however, Tiramisu Hero's fashionable and hipster storefront stood out from afar, thus locating it was a breeze. Tiramisu Hero is a dream come true by 2 heroines who were previously a financial planner and blogger respectively. Apart from their selections of creative Tiramisu, mains and starters are available too.
I got myself the Chicken Gordon Bleu ($16) which was stuffed chicken breast adorned with cream based gravy.
Patricia ordered the Sophie's Breakfast ($10.50) which was stacked pancakes and sliced bananas, drizzled with honey and granola.
What caught my attention was the cheeky vibes that Tiramisu exudes. Sir Antonio, which is the name of the cat, can be seen all around the shop!
Overall a nice cafe with good ambiance and get ready to be blown away by customized Tiramisu!

With a vintage theme, Brunches Cafe is the newest addition along Rangoon Road. Stepping into this cafe will transcend one away from the hustle and bustle of city life to a realm of peace and serenity. Besides seeking shelter for some comfort food or alone time, feel free to browse through the cafe for vintage items that are for sale.

Similar to ReStore (closed), Old Habits Cafe and Flee Away Cafe, you may find some old school loot during your visit! During lunch hours, set lunch (includes a bowl of soup) comes with any purchase under the "Main" segment. I ordered a Cajun Chicken Pizza (about $16) and my friend ordered Vegetarian Oglio Olio (about $14).

The pizza was dense, dry and hard and the base sauce was almost tasteless. Threading on the thin line before rejecting the it, but was spared by the BBQ sauce that was drizzled over the pizza. Definitely not gonna order this again.

With a nice cozy interior, consistent WiFi and nice background music, I have plans to come back again for their dessert, waffles and coffee. So wait up for my second verdict!

Started during 1992 in Hong Kong, Kim Gary has already set its foot in many neighbouring countries and states such as Penang, KualaLumpur and Singapore. The beauty about Hong Kong Cafe/Eatery is the "fuss-free" and availability of Western and Chinese food culture all under one roof. From sipping milk tea, indulging in dim sum to feasting a slab of steak, you name it, they have it.
Compared to Xin Wang Cafe, the former seems slightly pocket friendlier. However, interior design and ambiance, the latter does feels more comfy and chirpy. Ordering was a breeze. Simply by ticking off a chit, hand it over to their ever ready staff and wait to be served.
This portion of Chicken Chop Burger was only $6.90. Thinking that it will be really puny, I ordered Steak Teppanyaki Rice ($12.5) to complete my meal.
The chicken chop was served with a full thigh meat while the steak was tender (probably more of meat tenderiser) and savoury.
Here's my buddy's Cheese Baked Rice with Steak for $14.4 that came with a set meal which included a drink.
The total bill for orders was approximately $21, inclusive of tax. What a hearty and fuss free meal!
Not much complain about the food. Affordable, great portion and taste good. Definitely a good spot for budget eating.
