Penny University Singapore Review

DSCF1052

How did you guys celebrate Halloween? It was pretty uneventful for misterchewy and I because he had been diagnosed with dengue fever last week and was battling this horrible virus at home. Prior to this, he was away for his first ever high-key ICT for 2 weeks and had to go outfield for 2D1N. I’m quite sure the stupid mozzie bit him during his reservist! >:( Poor boy had fever on and off for days, and also symptoms of dengue such as backache, rashes etc. He even blacked out and collapsed on the floor one Saturday morning! :O

Glad that his condition improved by leaps and bounds! Since he was stuck at home (both mine and his) for more than a week, I took him out for some fresh air near my in-laws’ in the East. We wanted to check out another café nearby but I’m guessing they stop serving breakfast really early since lunch is served from 12pm onwards. Scrapped the idea because we were sure to wake up late on a Sunday. LOL. Penny University serves all-day breakfast! 🙂

By the time we stepped out of the house yesterday, it was already past 12pm. Cute Halloween décor outside Penny University. The café is really small and packed to the brim. We had to wait in line for about 10 to 15 mins which wasn’t too painful.

We had to place our orders at the counter and pay upfront. Instead of the usual table number tag, we were given this. Got number behind la.

DSCF1057

I asked for Peppermint Tea but was served Peppermint Hot Chocolate ($4). Okay nevermind. This is quite nice and not too thick.

DSCF1061

I love yogurt but I don’t usually order it outside. My bowl of Vanilla-infused Greek Yogurt with Granola ($6) came with blueberries and strawberry slices. It doesn’t have that sourish taste like other kinds of yogurt and I think it had been mixed with a little bit of honey. Anyway it’s a really delicious treat!

I knew the yogurt wasn’t going to be enough so I ordered the Cheese Toasties with Marmite and Tomato ($4.50) to share. You can also choose to substitute the tomato slices with poached eggs. Do you have any idea how much I love Marmite? I grew up eating it and I eat it practically with everything! I have it with plain rice, I dump a dollop of it in my corn soup, etc etc etc. Ok that was when I was still in primary and secondary school. LOL. So glad I ordered this!

After eating fishball beehoon soup for so many days in a row, misterchewy finally had Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon ($12) for a change! Hahaha. Instead of toasted English muffins, the poached eggs were topped on sourdough toasts which were a good complement too. We certainly enjoyed our brunch at Penny University! The most pleasant surprise? Total bill came up to only $26.50. 🙂

Symmetry Cafe Singapore Food Review

_MG_8193

The husband and I visited Symmetry Cafe along Jalan Kubor sometime in August. We love cafe hopping especially when there are truffle fries involved but this time, a simple brunch of eggs and whatnot left us about $80 poorer. Anyway, I’m not sure about misterchewy but I absolutely lurrrve the indie vibe that Symmetry Cafe gives! Also, the music simply rocks!

My drink. I think it was tea and ginger and something else. Quite refreshing.

DSCF0804

Hot Chocolate with bits of lightly burnt marshmallows for misterchewy. We were quite amused by the cutesy rabbit choc art. It looks like Miffy don’t you think?

DSCF0809

Not sure why they call it Potato Fries ($14) but I’m glad we found out that these are truffle fries if not we wouldn’t have ordered it! Not bad not bad. The smell of truffle oil is clearly discernible although I prefer it to be overpowering. Come on, somebody hand over that bottle of truffle oil! Lol. Ok seriously, I wouldn’t mind coming back for these if I happen to be around the area (Bugis).

DSCF0812

Told you I’m obsessed with anything truffle. The Truffle Eggs Mushroom ($21) was definitely up to my expectation. I reckon it’s pricey for scrambled eggs (ok drizzled with truffle oil), hashbrown, mushrooms, toast and some greens. Wonder if eggs are overpriced or overrated these days. But I really did enjoy the truffle scrambled eggs which was soft and wet, just the way I like it. There’s something unique about the toast too, especially when paired with the blob of blueberry butter cream. You gotta try it for yourself!

DSCF0815

Hubby Chewy had the Eggs Benedict ($20) which is a very safe choice and I’m glad he liked it. The muffins had a nice chewiness to it, with light crispiness around the edges. Poached eggs were just perfect! They were oozing with golden yellow goodness when being poked into.

_MG_8187

Will I visit Symmetry Cafe again? Highly likely! 🙂

Brunch at Nosh Restaurant & Bar with MissTamChiak & Michelleagy

IMG_7684

This blog post is not exactly overdue but Maureen‘s birthday celebration was! Her birthday fell on 30 May. Michelle and I wanted to give her a birthday treat and the three of us agreed to meet early June but the queen had something more important (than us) and it got delayed to exactly 3 weeks after her birthday. The queen asked for brunch and I suggested Nosh Restaurant & Bar at Rochester Park because I remembered that sometime back, Maureen didn’t get to eat crab tart at P.S Café and Nosh serves crab cake benedict. Ok la, not exactly the same thing but I’m sucha sweeeet friend right? *self praise* LOLOLOL.

IMG_7688

I very long never post outfit of the day (OOTD) liao! Hahaha. Looked at this photo for very long and I’m not used to seeing myself with shorter hair and fringe as compared to my previous hair length when we went for honeymoon. Wore a peachy pink toga dress with a black and gold belt! Love everything about the dress because of its bright color, flattering cut and light chiffon material! 😀

_MG_7679

Because of the *cough cough* haze, we took a cab to Nosh. This place seems quite popular because it was packed when we went in. And I’m glad I choped us a table! Not this one la. Hahaha.

_MG_7681

_MG_7657

Can’t remember when was the last time we actually woke up so early on a Sunday to head out. I happened to be in a good mood and decided to doll up by applying lipstick and eye shadow, plus putting on falsies! Just eyeliner and blusher usually work for me. Haha ok la I know I’m lazy 😛

_MG_7659

The girls! Michelle and Maureen. M&M.

_MG_7662

Maureen and her fiancé, Kai. Upgrade and change status lo, finallyyyyyy!

So coincidental that we bumped into Amanda! She was seated at the table behind ours.

_MG_7671

Group shot taken by Amanda. Thanks babe!

_MG_7639

We placed our orders and the first dish arrived after a torturous 45 minute wait. Maureen and Kai shared a bowl of Truffle Mushroom Soup ($10) which smelled really gooood! We kinda regretted not ordering this and even though our mains were not served yet, we did not want to wait another 45 minutes just for the soup.

_MG_7642

Kai’s Seafood Aglio Olio ($22)

_MG_7646

Maureen’s Crab Cake Benedict ($18)

_MG_7651

Michelle’s Nosh Omelette ($16) which I thought looked really good. Was joking that the diced roasted potatoes looked like black carrot cake. LOL.

_MG_7649

The husband’s Lamb Burger ($19)

_MG_7653

I wanted to order the crab cake benedict as well but for the sake of variety, I went for the Smoked Salmon Benedict ($18) which was okaaaay. Nothing to shout about.

_MG_7654

Nobody sang praises for their food so I guess it’s really mediocre. It’s the company that matters! At least we got to talk and catch up with one another on what’s going on in our lives 🙂

_MG_7678

We thought that desserts might be better but we were wrong. The Toffee Date Cake ($12) was too sweet.

_MG_7670

Shall end this post with a pic of us girls! Haha! Have a great weekend yeah!
