It was time for lunch and the colleagues wanted somewhere comfortable and not crowded, so we stumbled upon Laffio Cafe - Laff It Out - the set lunch promotion seemed enticing. The hipster cafe had its touches of elegance with the rock brick walls and silken drapes, so we grabbed two tables and began to order.Four of them had the Set Lunch (SGD$12.99) that comprises of a Soup of the Day, Main Course and Dessert. The soup du jour was Cream of Mushroom, served in a large clay pot. It was an interesting crockery of choice, but the amount of soup looked almost piteous in this large pot. It was thick and rich with the aroma of shiitake mushrooms, but after a couple of spoonfuls it was almost unbearably salty. We thought that they should reduce the salt, add more water to the soup or provide some bread to neutralise the soup.Their Fish & Chips came first - served on a metal board with the texture of a skillet. The criss-cross fries were great - crispy and tasty, just the way these waffle fries are supposed to be. The dainty pieces of fish was crispy on the outside as well, with crumbly flesh on the inside. The colleagues' comments were "so-so" and too small portioned.I had the English Muffins with Shaved Ham (SGD$14.00) - toasted with homemade butter, 64 degrees eggs, Hollandaise and mesclun. I had ordered the one with Smoked Salmon in lieu of Shaved Ham, but they ordered the wrong thing. So I accepted it. The muffins were rather hard and tasted like the usual toast instead of English muffins (I've had softer English muffins at other restaurants / cafes). Other than that, the poached eggs and soft ham were pretty all right, with plenty of black pepper.For full review and more photos, please feel free to visit:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2014/10/lunch-at-laffio-cafe-bugis.html

Laffio, or Laugh-It-Out combined in a word, is run by 2 enterprising ladies who are finance professionals by day. The bar-cafe's concept is simple - a place where people can have good food and knock back a couple among laughs.The menu is extensive, with all-day breakfast, western mains, sandwiches and finger food aplenty. 3-course lunch sets are available as well during weekdays.Tonight though, we were here for their first-ever Pop Dining Event, featuring 6 courses created by 4 chefs, 1 of them being Laffio's own chef de cuisine.Coconut Shell Clams in Marinara Sauce, served with toasted bread.The Coconut Shell Clams in Marinara Sauce featured a smattering of clams housed in a coconut shell. The accompanying toasted bread was very plain on its own, but it is evidently deliberately left so after you dip it into the marinara clam sauce at the bottom of the coconut bowl. The seafood sweetness stands out in the sauce, but the clams were just a little bit tiny within. This was paired with a refreshing frozen lime margherita.Homemade You Char Kway (Dough Fritter Pieces) with Mozarella Cheese and Tomatoes, accompanied by a Lemongrass Ginger Mocktail.The Homemade You Char Kway with Mozzarella Cheese and Tomatoes cooked in duck fat may look simple, but it was so delicious. The dough fritters were fried to a crunchy crisp. Combined with the sweet tomatoes and fragrant melted mozzarella, the entire combination is a hit. It would be even better if the dough fritters could be fluffy inside, to soak up the delicious sauce it was coated in, but no complaints. This was a strong contender for the best dish of the night. The mocktail pairing of Lemongrass and Ginger complemented the dish to a T and added that extra lift to it overall. Its street-food presentation made it fun to eat too.Spanish Iberico Pork with Bonito Flakes and Pumpkin PureeThe Spanish Iberico Pork with Bonito Flakes and Pumpkin Puree came paired with a red wine. The pork was bouncy, juicy and flavourful with every bite. Along with the subtle sweetness from a dash of apple sauce, this was one of my favourites for the night. We even had someone asking if he could have seconds.Red Snapper with Foie Gras Mousse and Bacon, served on Banana LeafCreated by Laffio's Chef De Cuisine, this Red Snapper with Foie Gras Mousse and Bacon had a grilled smokiness to it. The fish itself was firm to the bite and supple but the Foie Gras Mousse had a bitter aftertaste. Not sure if it should be there. The bacon was also just a little over-fried, such that it was a little hard to bite. However, the orange marmalade lent a fruitiness which contrasted nicely with the sharpness of the fish meat. Popcorn Ice CreamThis Popcorn Ice Cream is actually vanilla ice cream topped with popping candy and a few popcorn bits. The popping candy created a racket "popping" in the mouth, making it pure fun to eat. The vanilla ice cream was rich with vanilla flavour and creamy to a right. This is hands down my favourite. Makes me wonder why no one has ever thought of it till now. I would gladly come back again for this repeatedly if this is permanently on the menu! Chocolate Liquer Ball with Strawberry MousseThe last item for the night, this Chocolate Liquer Ball took a little bit more effort to break into even using our metal spoon. Once broken, the liquer within flowed out gloriously. It was also presented creatively, making it convenient to drink from the edges of the diamond tip. One of the diners commented that it resembled drinking in ancient times, when goblets were shaped like this.Good food aside, we were also entertained with short games during the event. Laffio delivers their motto with this pop up dining event that is pure good fun in food form. From what the owners say, there will be other themed events coming up as well within these few months. I will return to try the mainstays on their regular menu. Meanwhile though, could we have more of that Popcorn Ice Cream?
