Never knew that Costa Coffee was such a big chain in the international arena until my recent visit. My cup of Hot Mocha ($6.50) is brewed according to its golden formula of espresso to hot chocolate milk to foam. It was more intense and less sweeter than the Flat White. Besides coffee, they have a series of savoury food that are not only suitable for dine-in but also good for takeaway.

I was quite amazed to find Sous Vide Chicken at this cafe as this style of vacuum-steaming cooking takes place mostly at restaurants. Sandwiched between wholemeal ciabatta, the chicken had a smooth tender texture, though I wish there were more honey djon mustard.
But out of the sandwiches, I would recommend the Grilled vegetables and mushroom panini ($7.20). The not-too-thick bread makes it easier to chow through and its pizza-like taste will ring a familiar note in many people.
In fact, I also tried the (hopefully) healthy Caesar chicken salad that tastes as good, if not better than many other places. Desserts such as carrot cakes are rather passable so I suggest you to get their savoury food instead of sweets if you are really hungry. But that said, their muffins are quite special.
Always overlooked Muffins at any cafe but the ones here actually comes with filling. For instance, this blueberry muffin($3.90) most likely won't catch your attention but it is unexpectedly fluffy with sour blueberry jam inside. After this, I am curious to try the triple chocolate one that boasts gooey chocolate filling.
As I recall my favourite items that day, I realise they could make up a full course set menu (from Chicken Caesar salad to Grilled panini and end of with the Affogato or their hot mocha). Though the food might not be extremely fantastic, the cosy ambience and service did not give me a "mass-franchised" feel. A good location for not only work discussion but also leisure afternoon coffee just to spend time away.Have you had your cuppa today? Visit: dairycream.blogspot.sg for full post
