Sunday Brunch Episode 3

Theme: Book Cafe

Ambience:

Ever felt like you were invited by an eccentric aristocrat for some tea? That’s exactly what we felt in The Reading Room Cafe. It’s very homely and comfortable. It has a very nostalgic feeling with lots of vintage items and tall stacks of books, almost like a private library.

(Tip: If you want to enjoy this cafe you should visit on Sundays. This place is not crowded as the nearby bars and cafes are closed. We literally have the place to ourselves.)

You can also enjoy outdoor dining and/or working.

Food:

(What we have)

Mozzarella Tomatoes and Basil S$12.80

Average.

Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich S$13.80

Quite good and tasty.

Buttermilk pancakes with fruits and vanilla ice cream S$15.80

Pancakes are thick and fluffy. Pretty nice.

Coffee:

Both are standard.

Triple Shot Latte S$6.50

Cappuccino S$5

Menu and others:

They have variety of options, almost overwhelming.

Books are for sale!!!

They have a lot of good reads here. You can ask the staff for the price of the book. I got Catch-22 for S$8. Pretty good deal!

If you just want to read book and whine down here, you are welcome with S$5 charge.

Damage: ~S$30 per pax

Brunch at The Wheeler’s Yard

7th Apr 201923rd May 2019 / sundaybrunch / Leave a comment

Sunday Brunch Episode 2

Theme: Bicycle Themed Cafe

Ambience:

We thought we’d lost our way when we got there. The place looks unusual for a cafe location. For a split second, we thought it’s closed. We had to walk further on the side of the building to look for the entrance..

Where is the cafe? Literally, we just saw a bicycle workshop..

Until we saw this door and finally found The Wheeler’s Yard Cafe!

You would expect a cozy cafe for your Sunday brunch as it is the norm, but The Wheeler’s Yard is a different story. It’s a bit rugged and informal but quite frankly, we find it cool!

The place is huge, high ceiling with industrial style decorations. They have massive tables for sharing (with bicycle displays on top). It’s an open dining concept, so if you like your personal space while enjoying your coffee and food, you might feel uncomfortable here.

It’s also family and pet-friendly cafe.

Food:

(what we have)

Ultimate Beef Yard Burger (S$27.90)

The Australian wagyu is juicy and tasty, bacon is not so crispy, home made sauce is good too. The fries could still improve.

Homemade Buttermilk Waffle (15.90)

Huge serving, not so sweet so we liked it. Vanilla ice cream is just average.

Heart Shaped Waffle!

Coffee:

Triple Shot Latte (S$6.50) Long Black (S$4.50)

Both pretty standard.

Coffee Guide:

Menu and others:

They sell a variety of bicycles.

Damage: ~S$30 per pax

(No GST and Service Charge)

Overall Experience: 3/5

If you’re looking for a different cafe ambience, we recommend this place for you. It’s perfect for bicycle enthusiasts.

38 Lor Ampas, Singapore 328781

Opens:

Sat-Sun 10:30am-10:00pm

Tue-Fri 11:00am-10:00pm

Brunch at Merci Marcel

31st Mar 201923rd May 2019 / sundaybrunch / Leave a comment

Sunday Brunch Episode 1

Theme: French Cafe

Ambience:

Bonjour!

Sunday is quite a busy day at Merci Marcel. We have to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated. (Yes, they don’t accept table reservations only walk-in customers)

It was a pleasant surprise when we got inside. It has a very cozy atmosphere. I’d say a reminiscent of a Parisian wine bar with a tropical twist. It has eclectic furniture and decor.

They have tables outside for people who prefer alfresco dining, one facing the street and another one inside the garden.
