Situated 2 doors down from "The Coffee Daily", is Sun Ray Cafe, you can find parallel parking HDB spot right in front of it, on a monday night at 8pm, there was parking, the cafe had 4 other tables occupied and an owner brought a dog too which made me somewhat excited to see dogs and their owners dining in the same restaurant. Maybe I'll bring my dog here too next time!
So considering "The Coffee Daily"'s infamous rainbow cake priced at $10 nett usually gets sold out in the afternoon, and it was indeed sold out when I got there at 8pm, the Sun Ray Cafe also sells rainbow cake!

Rainbow cake - $8+
So this is probably not their best selling point, but hey! if you are craving a rainbow cake at $8+, it will satisfy your cravings, the cake was pretty much frozen when we got it, we cam whored with it for a bit while waiting for it to melt. The butter cream was not too sweet.
Chocolate banana cake - $8+
At $8+, it wasn't too bad, but it was very solid and jerlat too. The chocolate was very dense and I could sense "heaty-ness" in my throat, since I wasn't willing to run the extra km on the treadmill I shoved it to my guy friend to finish it up.
Fish and Chips- $12+
The truffle chips was the best part about this dish, you could smell the flavourful truffle oil, the second they placed the dish on the table. The fish itself was quite oily to be honest, the wasabi mayo was a nice change from the normal mayo.
All in all, a decent cafe in the serangoon gardens area, but I wouldn't travel all the way there, if I wasn't in the area. But if you have pets, you might want to try and take them here, they sell pet cafe food too
fish and truffle chips.. so-so.. abit oily $12+

Sun Ray Cafe is a cafe whereby pet owners are allowed to bring their furry friends into the cafe while sipping a cup of cuppa.

They also serve a wide range of mains, sides and desserts!
They were having a 1-for-1 Set Lunch promotion, and my friend and I got the set lunch, which entitles us to 2 Soup of the Day, 2 Main Courses of Our Choice (priced less than $16 in the menu) and 2 non-alcoholic drinks.

Soup of the Day was Cream of Asparagus. The soup was pretty hot when served so be careful not to scald your tongue should you order their soups. Asparagus taste was quite mild, and the soup itself was not exceptionally outstanding. It tasted average.

Moving on to the mains, I got myself the Carbonara. It's a creamy pasta served with crispy bacon and well-serenaded with a raw egg yolk. The thought of eating raw egg yolk gave me chills because getting Salmonellosis isn't very pleasant. However, the carbonara was a delight. I found myself enjoying the dish, although it got cold pretty fast. Bacon wasn't exactly crispy, but the portobello mushrooms in it were juicy and tasty! I liked the portobello mushrooms a lot. Noodles were al dente and there's nothing much to fault on this dish. Even the presentation was stunning! Looking forward to try their other pastas too.

The honey lemon drink was done pretty good! However, my friend told me that her iced lemon tea tasted like peach tea.

 Order the dory which consist of truffle fries, wasabi mayo and a fillet of fried dory. The truffle fries was nice, could taste the truffle oil. The wasabi mayo was interesting. Tasted exactly like wasabi and mayo mixed together. It goes nicely with the fries. Help add some creaminess to the fries. Fish was normal. Batter was crispy. Coeslaw was refershing. Instead of mayo dressing I think they used vinegar. Overall I really like it.

It's a pet friendly so great for pet lovers if you love to bring your pets along with you. They have 2 different section and i opt for the non-pet area. The waiting time for food took quite a while but no big issues on that. Now let's focus on the food.

For sharing, truffle fries $8 was the obvious choice. Came looking really nice and hot so we ate immediately as most of us are hungry already. Good choice and i don't mind ordering this again for my next visit.

For my drink i opt for Iced Shaken Mocha $7 and this is good! Strongly recommend this. Well balanced taste in a pretty good serving. Personally i find the amount just nice for me.

For my main, i was having a hard time deciding. Partly because i'm hungry and there was quite a few items that caught my eye. Haha! But my final choice went to a brunch item and i chose the American breakfast set $20 and i opt for scrambled eggs. Initially i thought the portion wasn't big but i changed my mind as i start eating. Quite a interesting mixture of everything.

The size of the bread was pretty cute in my opinion. Interesting mushroom as it comes in one whole piece and i forgot to ask what kind of mushroom was it. The rest of the items was good and i really enjoyed my meal.

Perfect Hidden Find

In the heart of Serangoon Gardens - if this isn't a hidden find, I don't know what is.

This joint is neighbours with Daily Coffee (creamier coffee), and Stormville.
Our tip for having a really chill weekend? Drop doggy off for grooming at Stormville, grab a coffee at Daily coffee, take a walk, pick up doggy, then head over to Sun Ray for the set dinner.

 Eggs Benedict were served atop scones, and that is truly one of the best combinations ever! I used to hate scones but this one was really really well done. Runny gooey york spilled over as I sliced into the egg, tells me it has been done to perfection.

 Mushroom and Bacon Risotto is a glorious sight for the cheesy carbo fan in me. I tried to resist the sin (trying to be on a diet here) but I think I plough my spoon through several times for this dish.

Liquid gold I tell you! It is so shiok that you would have to go down to try it yourself!

 American Breakfast ($14.90+) :: Besides the buttery-tasting bread (which is perfect), and the indistinct sausages, there was the scrambled eggs. Upon spotting the runny and creamy-looking scrambled eggs, I was all ready to jump on it. Because yes, I am the minority who likes the egg as soft and scrambled (as it should be) as possible. But with high expectations comes great disappointment. It was insufficiently salted.

 Eggs Benedict ($10.90+) :: Same bread used as in the American Breakfast. The course was mediocre and nothing to yell about. Quite a safe choice for this cafe, if you ask me. Though Wild Honey’s is still prevalent.

 Minute Steak & Eggs ($12.90+) :: I should have been taken the price as a forewarning that nothing good comes cheap. Second-class steak was served, not missing out on the fact that it was tough. It did not satisfy any of my beef cravings, sadly. This course fell way too short, and it’s to be avoided until it’s being looked into.

What’s unique is its policy of being pet-friendly. Diners can opt for either a pet-friendly area, or a non. Pet lovers, this can have a ‘good view’. It works, because it’s hidden amongst private estates; Amongst the rich asses (I’m just jealous) whom, if do not have a pet, is a crime. It can get noisy at times, with the dogs barking (at each other) from time to time. So depending on what you are looking for, sit in the respective sections accordingly.

So unfortunately, Sun Ray Cafe doesn’t hold a finger to most other brunch places. Moreover, it is hard to get to. Hopefully, its main courses are better than its brunch items.

 You can catch bus 317 or 315 from Serangoon Bus Interchange (at NEX mall) and it takes about 5 – 10 minutes to arrive at 79 Brighton Crescent. The interior of the cafe uses soft orange lighting that exudes a mellow, homely feel to it. Dave Lim, the founder and owner of Sun Ray Cafe says that he had recently re-furbished the place. The cafe has been around for over 2 years now, so I guess it’s about time for it to get a facelift too. Check out its swanky new look:

 Besides the cozy interior, the cafe also serves up pretty good gourmet coffee with their own unique blend made from a variety of 6 single origin beans to achieve a chocolatey and nutty blend with slightly floral undertones. Dave also happens to be a “Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE)” certified barista with Level 1 and 2 certification. He is one of the 9 baristas in Singapore to receive this certification and he is also a SCAE Authorized Trainer. Not many coffee aficionados in Singapore can boast such international accreditation.

 We had a Shakarato ($4.50) which is an iced shaken sweetened espresso and a Cafe Latte ($4). The Shakarato was served in a stemmed glass and topped with a layer of foam. The acidity and sourness of the espresso was more pronounced because of the cool temperature but I found it rather refreshing and well-balanced out with a bit of sugar syrup. Now, on to the food!

 Their American Breakfast brunch set ($14.90) comes with savory scrambled (or sunny side up) eggs set atop a freshly-baked and slightly sweet scone, making it a rather interesting and unique combination. I love scones with butter and jam but eating it with scrambled eggs is a first for me. The serving portion was quite big and also comes with Italian sausages, hash browns and salad – overall great value-for-money.

 Another signature brunch item on their menu is Eggs Benedict ($10.90) that is served with a unique Orange Hollandaise sauce which is not as creamy and rich, but instead was citrusy and tangy. Unfortunately, the poached eggs were overcooked and did not really make the cut.

 After giving our feedback about the eggs, we were pleasantly surprised that the chef decided to make us another batch – this time round, the yolk was perfectly runny the way a poached egg should be. It’s these little gestures and attentive service that would make people feel the warmth of the place and want to go back there again. =]

 Next, we also had some Asparagus and Bacon Rolls ($8.90) which uses a thicker variety of bacon wrapped around huge sticks of asparagus. The freshness and crunchiness of the asparagus balanced out the oiliness from the bacon and complimented each other pretty well.

And again it’s time for my favourite part of every meal – the dessert! We had a Chocolate Lava Cake and Homemade Tiramisu ($6.50).

 I personally preferred the Tiramisu better because the mascarpone cheese wasn’t too sweet and you can really taste the espresso coffee in it. The only thing that was lacking for me was the booze . The little bit of Kahlua coffee liqueur added into the Tiramisu was barely noticeable. It would have been a perfect dessert if there were just a bit more booze in it.

 The Chocolate Lava Cake is definitely something for sweet tooth lovers. The dark chocolate that came flowing out of the sponge cake was thick and rich but a tad on the sweet side for me. Also, since the sauce is already so sweet, usually the chef would make the sponge cake less sweet to balance out the sweetness. But this wasn’t the case. It also comes drizzled in more sweet caramel sauce making it a real sugar overload! Good thing we had a cup of Cold Brew Coffee to go along with it.

 See that rock at the bottom of the coffee cup? Well, that’s actually a Whiskey Stone which is traditionally used to cool down a cup of whiskey without watering it down. The same concept applies to coffee. The stone is used to maintain the cold brew coffee at optimum temperature so that it remains cool and refreshing. This cup of coffee really packed a punch and is probably my favourite brew out of the other coffees we had that day.

 Overall, the food here at Sun Ray Cafe is pretty decent for the price that you pay and coffee connoisseurs can definitely look forward to something exciting at the skillful hands of Barista Dave and his team. We were so comfortable in our seats that we didn’t really want to leave until we saw the sky getting dark with rain clouds.

There are also quite a number of other mains on their menu too – from a variety of Pastas and Risottos to Lamb Rack served with Ratatouille and even Asam Fish with Rice. I definitely look forward to trying out more of their mains the next time I’m around the area.

Headed down to Sun Ray Café to redeem a set of Yu Sheng which we won from OpenRice’s recent Yu Sheng Giveaway contest.

Tucked along a quiet street off Serangoon Gardens, this is definitely one of the less travelled roads around the vicinity. The staff greeted us warmly upon entering the café and we were ushered to a quiet cosy corner at the other end of the shop.

We quite like the ambience here as it was pretty serene and tranquil. We couldn’t say the same for the food quality however…

Small Yu Sheng ($10.80++)
This was really one small portion of Yu Sheng! The taste was quite refreshing as it was more of a fusion salad with pomelo bits, raddish, carrots, onions, lettuce, bread croutons, and smoked salmon. Nothing really impressive but this was by far the best dish served.

 Poached Salmon ($19.90++)
The salmon was overcooked and literally soaked in oil. The salmon was not really fresh but thankfully, the rich buttery aroma managed to mask the taste. Not recommended.

 Grilled Strip Loin ($23.90++)
As with the salmon, the strip loin was slightly overcooked (more medium than medium rare which the husband ordered) and the quality of the beef was pretty average. The rosemary sauce was nice but somehow didn’t blend well with the beef. Surprisingly, the potato salad – mixed with cheese and cream – was tasted great and was a joy to eat!

 Personally, I felt that the mains paled in comparison to the sides and appetisers. Not really worth the money and travelling time considering the quality and taste of the food.

Felt guilty at times when you left out your pets out from festive celebrations? Make this year an inclusive Christmas where your beloved pet gets to enjoy the company of family, friends and loved ones at pet friendly Sun Ray Café!

Located at 79 Brighton Crescent Serangoon Gardens, the café allow you to break away from Christmas dining at the clattery, overcrowded spaces in the city and enjoy a more relaxed pace at this secret find in Serangoon Gardens village. The café has consistently enjoyed mentions from Straits Times, 联合早报 (Lian He Zao Bao), 8-Days, i-Weekly, CHIC magazines, 9tro magazines as well as popular radio stations such as 938 Live, Symphony 924 and Love 972 FM. The award of ‘Best Loved Prawn Pasta’ by CozyCot was a further testimony of the café dedication to great taste and value for its customers.

North-easterners and pet owners from all over Singapore adore Sun Ray Café all day breakfast and house specialities such as Sun Salad, Asparagus & Bacon, Minute Steak & Eggs, Poached Salmon Fillet, Cumin Crusted Lamb Rack, Yorkshire Pork Racks or Paella Ala Valencia. You can check out them out in my previous post here.

However, we are now going to shine the limelight on the café latest Christmas Menu. Priced at S$60, diners get to enjoy a delectable six course Christmas Dinner that includes Amuse Bouche, Appetizer, Soup, Sorbet, Main and Dessert. The amazing part about the Christmas Menu is that everything was created out of fresh ingredients sourced by Chef Derrar and Chef 'Bob'. Nothing was obtained conveniently from a can, even down to the sorbet. Can't wait to get started!

We started with Amuse Bouche which literally meant Mouth Amuser in French. Amuse Bouches differ from appetizers in that they are not ordered from a menu by diners but are selected and served according to the chef's selection alone. Our Amuse Bouche consist of Avocado & Salmon on Crostini, Beef Carpaccio & Truffles and Cherry Tomato & Mozzarella.

Beef Carpaccio & Truffles comprises sliced raw beef with truffle essence. The raw part sounded daunting at first but it turned out to pretty good. The meat was a little chewy but it went well with the truffle essence.

Smoked Salmon Roulade was the first of our 2 appetiser served. Smoked slowly over the oak wood strained with The Macallan, there is a faint presence of the premium single malt whiskey.

A closer look revealed its stuffing of mascarpone cheese, orange zest, dill herb, lemon juice and black caviar. The combination of the flavours was rather well managed.

Foie Gras was presented next. Duck fattened liver was marinated with port wine, brandy, cinnamon, salt, pepper and baked in bain marie for 20 minutes before being served with diced apple and pear accompanied by port wine and bitter chocolate sauce.

The health conscious would frown at the generous yellow concentrated duck fat. The fat tasted like cold salted egg yolk. It was a little too salty for me.

Lobster Bisque was our soup item for our Christmas Feast. This was one of the best lobster bisque that I have tasted. Carrot, celery, leek, onion, garlic, lobster meat and shell were cooked for a long period of time to dissolve the shell so as to intensify the flavour.

Before we start proper on the main, a shot of refreshing lemon and pineapple sorbet was offered to clean our pallet.

Moscato D'Asti was brought in while we were enjoying our desserts. This is a "Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita” (DOCG, controlled designation of origin guaranteed – the highest quality assurance label for Italian food products) sparkling white wine produced mainly in the Asti, Italy. It has also recently scored 88 points on the 100-point Wine Spectator published on 11/30/2012.

The wine is sweet and low in alcohol, and often enjoyed with dessert. Typically reminiscent of ripe melons and blossom, it has an uplifting perfume and although sweet, it is light and refreshing. Enough said, let's cheers to this wonderful meal!

First main up was Turkey Breast stuffed with chestnut, minced pork and served with roasted potato and cranberry sauce.

Unlike the usual dry and tough Turkey, the meat was delightfully tender and moist.

Our 2nd contender Salmon En Croute consist of salmon fillet seasoned to perfection with salt, pepper, lemon juice wrapped in filo pastry. It was served with Jerusalem artichoke and green asparagus with lemon, cream and white wine sauce.

Our final dessert was Christmas Pudding made from mixed dry fruits, brandy, cinnamon and served with creamy egg yolk brandy sauce.

You can choose to top up your Christmas Set with mocktails, cocktails or good old fashion coffee. For the alcoholics, there's Orgasm - a delicious drink made from Irish cream, coffee liqueur and an orange-flavoured liqueur, it's one of the sexiest cocktails in the world.

Or the cheeky Charlie Chaplin - a premium cocktail which was once one of the premium cocktails drunk at the famous Waldorf Astoria in the 1920, it has equal mixes of gin, lime and apricot brandy to create a gentle cocktail that is thick and sweet.

If you are driving, you may want get Out of the Beach (Not to be mistaken with Sex on the Beach). This is the cafe's all-time favourite.

Else you can also opt for Minty Cooler - A sparkling mixture of cranberry juice and mojito mint syrup.

Despite the café relatively modest background, its Senior Baristas Shermaine was trained by 3 award winning baristas from the acclaimed Oriole Coffee and 4 other staff are also trained Baristas from Specialty Coffee Association of Europe*. They know good coffee.

Of course, we were not the only ones enjoying ourselves.

The chefs prepared a lovely dish of Boiled Lamb for Shaun's Tracce too!

After a lovely meal, we could not resist taking a group photo with our talented chefs who made it happen!
