Signature Dishes
*Edited: Good Morning Nanyang Cafe at Sembawang Shopping Centre has closed*It has been almost one and a half years since I came back to Good Morning Nanyang Cafe. Good Morning Nanyang Cafe has a similar business model to Toast Box, Killiney and Ya kun, specialising in breakfast sets such as kaya toast, coffee, tea and half-boiled eggs. In addition, they also ventured into serving Local Delights such as Laksa, Mee Siam, Egg Noodles and Mee Rebus. A smart move as they not only capture the breakfast crowd but also ensure that they capture the lunch and dinner crowd with these piping hot dishes. As usual we visited its branch at Sembawang Shopping Centre on Saturday at 9am in the morning. The cafe was full of customers. We had to wait a short while before we could get a table. Although Good Morning Nanyang Cafe was not big in terms of floor area, they had many tables and chairs position systematically in rows. Coupled with the fact that the turnover was fast, I noticed that most customers did not have to wait more than 5 minutes for a table. The process to order and collect orders are similiar to their competitors (i.e. Ya Kun, Toast Box). Customers will be required to proceed to the counter to queue and make their orders. After that they would be required to collect their drinks, half boiled eggs and a queue tag number. The queue tag number is used by the serving staff to identify the customers who have ordered toasts and/or local delights items (items that would require sometime to prepare). Good Morning Nanyang Cafe decoration is simple with a rustic feel.The Toast Sets.Local Delights.I ordered Set C - Orange Ciabatta Toast which is priced at $5.20. I was served with two half-boiled eggs, Orange Ciabatta Toast and a cup of coffee or tea. Ya Kun's half boiled eggs are still the best. They are always big and perfectly cooked. In this case, I felt that Good Morning Nanyang Cafe's version is slightly undercooked as some of the egg white were still transparent. Nevertheless, this was still quite well-executed and delicious. I have encountered much worse off half boiled eggs. The main issue I have with Good Morning Nanyang Cafe's eggs were that I wish the staff would crack the eggs for us like Ya Kun instead of requiring customers to do it themselves. The Orange Ciabatta Toast was the highlight. This was the reason why we came back to Good Morning Nanyang Cafe.Ciabatta is an Italian white bread made from yeast and flour, normally elongated in shape. In this case, it was flat and baked into a square shape. In addition, as it's name suggested, it was infused with orange flavour which is likely from to have come from orange peel. The Orange Ciabatta Toast was served with butter and kaya spread sandwiching two pieces of toast. The kaya is freshly made daily. It had a more aromatic compared to Ya Kun's with more coconut flavour. Shiok! This is a must try when you are at Good Morning Nanyang Cafe.The coffee was much better than the tea I had during my previous visit. In addition, it was aromatic.If you are interested to read about my review on their Laksa and Mee Rebus, you may click here for my previous post.I would strongly recommend Good Morning Nanyang Cafe's Orange Ciabatta Toast. It will be an entirely different foodie experience compared to Ya Kun's toast.

http://phuachiuyen.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/good-morning-nanyang-cafe-sembawang-shopping-centre/Big bowl of mee siam @ SGD$3.50; sourish sweet spicy taste. Appetising & economical brunch that I would pop by for again and again!!!!!!!!! You can even hitch a free bus ride if you’re around the area! That's one of the advantages of eating at Sembawang Shopping Centre. Not exactly a crowded place but there's still a mini crowd.It's usually quite crowded but food's served pretty fast. Good place to chill for snacks too.

This outlet at Sembawang Shopping Centre is much nearer as compared to the other outlet in town. And so, this has become my regular hangout whenever i am in need a coffee break with a good piece of toast and a good cup of coffee.The Ciabatta bread was lightly toasted without compromising the softness of the bread. It was then lightly applied a layer of butter followed by a layer of kaya. The sweetness of the kaya is moderate. And, they have always gotten the balance of the coffee powder, condensed milk and sugar right each time. This is the important factor to a good cup of coffee. Such simplicity is a joy. A good cup of coffee and a good piece of toast can be happiness.
