Located in between ang mo kio and Bishan MRT, very close to Bishan Park is Workbench Bistro. The owners used to own a cafe at East Coast Parkway.It was Mother's day and the cafe had families with young children probably from the neighbourhood. One year ago, I could count the number of hipster cafes in the Ang Mo Kio region, now it's hard to decide which cafe I want to visit within a 5km radius of my home.They have a wide variety of ice cream flavours. Notably, I was excited to try their baileys

 They have a wide variety of ice cream flavours. Notably, I was excited to try their baileys and black sesame, however the baileys was a tad too sweet for my liking, and went with black sesame instead.

 Their tagline at this cafe, is "practical food creation" going alongside the "workbench" name. Indeed, their food offerings are simple, practical and can definitely meet majority of the hipster crowd palate.

 I loved that the waffle was crispy! The second I got up to the ice cream display and asked if I could try some of the ice cream flavours, the young lady asked if I would be ordering waffles. I said yes and immediately she switched on the waffle iron before letting me taste the ice cream. I was like Oh yay!~ Time to warm up the waffle maker!

 The ice cream itself was great! I love black sesame ice cream and sometimes, it can be done wrong and this was perfect. Many a times, black sesame ice cream tends to taste powdery and burnt. Not this one, it was sweet, but not overly sweet. It wasn't creamy but still smooth. 

Most of the all, the waffle stayed crispy even after the ice cream had soaked through the waffle.

2. Buffalo Wings

 If you love Tabasco sauce, you will love these buffalo wings. Unlike most cafes serving fried chicken wings, these are spicy wings! Do help yourself to the water by the corridor of trashy magazines.

The ambience was nice and they were playing Christian music in the background. The layout of the whole cafe is very "practical" and maximizes the area too.

With more and more choices for ice cream and waffles in the Ang Mo Kio district, I think workbench bistro needs to find a niche area to shine in.
