I can find no better place so far whenever I am looking for a nice place for some quiet reading or for some work with my laptop. The cafe has a relaxing ambience where one can just sit comfortably on their comfy sofa seats and just sit there for hours and hours. There are free wireless Internet access and electrical power-points. There are also reading materials consisting of a wide range of topics. The soothing lighting is adequate for reading and the cafe is quite spacious, giving one overall a feeling of laid-backness.

Perfect environment but lately it has been getting more crowded, so it is less ideal to go during weekends. Seats could be quite limited as most customers would dine and stay there for a fairly long period of time. Food-wise, I would not say it is fantastic but some food items are really good. Coffee is good too. I usually would order my favorite Grand Caesar Salad which comprises Honey Mustard Chicken, avocado & Poached Egggg!! It is a great combination and the portion is large enough as a meal coupled with a cup of coffee. AHHH really this is one of my must-haves every month indeed ^^

Desserts-wise, I would recommend Lemon Pine Nut tart if you are looking for something not too sweet. The sourish tart filling is coupled with pine nuts and a crunchy tart base. Again, my another favorite item there lol

I would actually have preferred to not review about it so as to reduce the current crowd size haha mad
But well, I think it would not make much of a difference as the place is quite accessible near town center and I can see they are garnering more crowd nowadays with their great setting and good food chopstick

Happy Meal with Good Food Smile Dec 06, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook

There are plenty of TCC branches around island-wide indeed. Easily accessible and I would say their food has never failed to fulfill my expectations so far. Perhaps the only limiting factor could be their slightly steep pricing mad

Starting off with my starter firstly, I like their Kabocha Harvest Salad though I don't really take fried food often. But I like how the sweet breaded pumpkin patties are mixed in the tangy kumquat dressing. The breaded part was not too thick like some other croquettes with overwhelmingly thick breaded crumbs externally with little filling. I like pumpkin so this was simply appetizing already as my starter! ^^

Now, to my mains smile Had the Mentaiko Spaghetti w/ Salmon Tataki and Golden Enchilada Enchantment. The pasta was one of the chef's recommendations and it was a great choice indeed. The mentaiko gravy was not too creamy and the tender slices of salmon were not overly cooked and was just splendid to be accompanied with a perfect sunny side up on top ^^ For vegetarians, the latter could be quite a good choice but not really healthy haha.. But the golden-fried tortilla was quite crunchy, stuffed with wild mushrooms, spicy spinach and tofu and cheese. A good combination overall and it was not too oily. But of course the pasta beats it all for a meat-lover.

Now desserts haha, quite a complete meal huh? tongue
I simply love Affogato so I tried the two different renditions. The chocolate Affogato was perfect with its combination of espresso and chocolate ice cream but sadly being immersed with the espresso, my ice cream melted away fast enough>< As for the Bailey's Alluregatto, it would be perfect if you are finding for liquer and coffee at the same time lol Coffee jelly, ice cream and biscotti, heightened with Bailey’s Irish Cream; what's more you can ask haha? But sadly, again it melted too fast too.

No idea why I would still have some room for more desserts. Haha as if not sinful enough, I had the Pinana Landing, which was a pineapple tart with oozing vanilla custard topped with fresh banana. But the ice cream was forgettable, after being overdosed from the Affogato LOL.

Perfect hang out place, good food and great ambience facing the Sentosa! Just the place for a wholesome dinner! ^^

Empty Calories >< OK Nov 30, 2013

Having a sweet tooth myself, I have never been able to understand the raving after macaroons. Doubting how could these sugary stuff be that good, I tried almost all of the flavours of the macaroons from Laduree which is supposedly be one of the best places to get macaroons.

Umm.. well I regretted it. Too sweet. Nothing extraordinary. Yeah but the meringue was soft enough and melted quite nicely in the mouth. But I admit honestly, I am biased in feeling so negative against macaroons. They were too sweet and not worth the calories at all. shocked

Too cute for eating >< Smile Nov 30, 2013

For every month, TCC would come up with different designs of High Tea Set at approximately the price of $15++ inclusive of tea or coffee. I have almost never failed to try their High Tea set every month. And November's set was designed in a way in conjunction with December festive season.

Adorable presentation aside, the food was good. I like their scones very much, but this was a chocolate chip scone unlike the usual cranberry scone I had for the past few months. I didn't like chocolate chip much as it was too sweet for me. The macaroons were, too sweet as well, and so I left them untouched. On the other hand, the savoury ones tasted really good, especially the one with the meat chunk on top chopsticklol

It was all altogether a delicate assembly of festive delights that will satisfy your palate definitely! Yeah Like

Surprisingly Good Coffee Smile Nov 30, 2013

Being a health-conscious person, I have never stepped in MacDonald much. I have always been put off by the toxic fries documentary of McD with the impression that the food there is just comfort food with no nutritional value.

Umm.. it was then but now I have found a reason to visit McD haha mad
I think their coffee is not too bad haha.. I love their Mochaccino and the affordable pricing is even more the reason I frequent this place ^^

Ahh well, McCafe I think complements McD quite well, especially for those who are not into the burgers and fries at all
