Selfish Gene Cafe is a little cafe hidden inside the many alleys in Tanjong Pagar. Visited the cafe on a Saturday afternoon and it was full. Had to wait for a few minutes to be seated.
As my friend and I had a heavy lunch earlier, we settled down for just teabreak.
Iced SGC Tea (SGD 6) and Iced Matcha Latte (SGD 6)SGC tea was a blend of ceylon and earl grey tea, the taste was a tad too bitter for both of us and we added quite a bit of sugar in it. Guess we didn't really know how to appreciate the tea taste.
As for the Matcha Latte, you can really taste the fragrance of the Matcha, however, I felt that it was not sweet enough.
For a small cup with so much ice cubes inside, I definitely do not think it is not worth it.
Shall stick to the water provided next time. By the way, there is no service charge for the cafe therefore, a huge jar of drinks with many colourful plastic cups were placed at a table nearby and it was all self-service.
Toasted Bagel (SGD4.80)Toasted Cinammon Raisin Bagel with butter and homemade berry compote, which was pretty nice. The bagel was served hot and when we open it, smoke was actually coming out. The bagel tasted good on its own with the cinammon and raisin mixing well together, sweet and all. The berry compote was a little sour which gave the bagel some kicks!
Carrot Cake (SGD5.80)Carrot Cake with crushed walnuts, crumble and cream cheese icing. The cake was moist enough and had just the right amount of sweetness. Would have preferred the cream cheese icing to be richer in taste though but my friend loves it. The walnuts went well with the cake as well.
Overall, the experience there was a rather good one and even though it was self-service, the staff over there were really helpful and food came rather fast as well.
Not to mention, the toilet was huge and clean! You know usually those shophouses kind of cafes will have crampy and cheap looking toilets right? Not for Selfish Gene Cafe! Everything was placed nicely and clean! (Y)Definitely coming back here again to try the main dishes and shall see for myself if they are good as well!
