This hole in the wall is up in Novena Medical Building. It is a discreet cafe which you would not otherwise know of unless you explore the Medical Building linked to Novena Square 2.

We decided to head there for Brunch on a weekday and it was less crowded than on weekends.

Each of us had a serving of the Grande Breakfast ($14), which consisted of salad, bacon, eggs (scrambled, poached or omelette), mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and two slices of buttered sour dough bread.Very tasty.

Service was good, and I loved the rustic ambience and plants, which reminded me a bit of PS Cafe.

Will be back to try other menu items!

This is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants for casual dining.

We decided to head there for lunch on a weekday.

First dish, we ordered Century Egg Sliced Pork Congee to share. Very good.Next, we had the Steamed Crab Meat with Egg White to share. Tasty.Then we ordered dim sum.

BBQ Pork Buns. Good.Salted Custard Buns. Tasty. I liked that the insides were still melty and warm.Finally, we had Red Bean dessert to share.I can already see myself coming back soon!

The place was not packed when we arrived for dinner. Service was efficient.

We ordered a few dishes to share amongst our party of 5.

First up was a clear broth pork rib soup with cabbage, which was good. Next, we had a side of fried fish skin, which was by far my favourite.Thereafter, we ordered a serving of sweet and sour pork, which was average.Lastly, we had a plate of fried rice. Overall, it was a good meal. I will be back.

Located near the side entrance of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Casa Verde offers a casual setting for all.

I ordered the Western Breakfast ($13.50) which included a small cup of orange juice, and a cup of tea or coffee. The two slices of toast were good, and the scrambled eggs were also nicely done. I just wish they had given salt / pepper together on the plate, just like how they placed the butter and jam on the plate as well.

Salad was not overly dressed, and sausages were also cooked right.

Ambience is chilled with nice soothing music being played indoors.

Service was fair, and I liked that they took the initiative to ask to serve customers, even though the ordering was self-service at the counter.

I will likely visit again.

This new outlet of BreadTalk is in a corner of Zhongshan Mall, which is not difficult to miss the moment you enter the building from the side entrance.

Bought one of the cakes (matcha red bean) from their innovative cake selection and it was the same standard as the one we tried from another outlet.Service was fast and there was a good selection of breads for a quick takeaway.
