Hello everyone, I’m the little frog 🐸
There’s a café near the Daan MRT Station that serves everything from brunch to dinner. This time I met up with a friend to have dinner there.
The café is set in a nostalgic house with a pebbled floor, retro sofas, elementary school desks and chairs, and various nostalgic decorations. Every detail contributes to creating a spacious area with a natural and simple atmosphere, complemented by the warm sunlight filtering in at sunset, giving a cozy and nostalgic feel.
The café has quite a number of seats, including tables for two, four, and a bar counter.
The dinner menu is different from the brunch menu, and the minimum consumption varies; during dinner hours, there's an additional 10% service charge.
⭐️ Red Wine Braised Beef Ribs $400
This is one of the starters on the menu. The beef ribs are tender and delicious with a bit of chewiness from the collagen; the red wine sauce is the soul of this dish, with a rich aroma, which goes perfectly with the bread on the side for dipping into the sauce with the beef ribs. It’s so good!
⭐️ French Grilled Matsusaka Pork Risotto $330
The Matsusaka pork is very tender, maintaining a slight crispness, perfectly cooked so it’s not too tough. The risotto is well-cooked, and the French cream sauce is complemented by French mustard seeds, creating a rich yet not overly heavy creamy flavor.
⭐️ French Fries / Sichuan Green Pepper Sauce $180
Crispy fries paired with green pepper sauce are truly a great match. The green pepper sauce has a fragrant numbing flavor but isn’t too spicy, making it super addictive; before you know it, a plate is gone.
⭐️ Roasted Tea Pudding $90
The term “roasted tea” feels very familiar 🤣
The aroma of the roasted tea is rich but not bitter, and the pudding has a soft and smooth texture, accompanied by a bit of fresh cream, making it very soothing.
⭐️ Super Excellent Tiramisu $170
The name “Super Excellent Tiramisu” is so appealing! And after tasting it, it really is excellent!!! It has a strong coffee aroma but isn’t overly moist or sweet; the alcohol flavor isn’t strong either. However, those who prefer a stronger alcohol flavor may want to pass on this.
⭐️ Hand-Stirred Brown Sugar Milk Tea $150
This drink has a layer of burnt brown sugar with a subtle brown sugar scent. Overall, the sweetness is just right, and the flavor is quite standard. It’s really made with fresh milk!
⭐️ Galaxy Pale Ale $180
This one was ordered by my friend, and because I had to ride my bike, I only had a sip.
Crafted by Cai's, made with high-quality hops from Australia, featuring distinct citrus and peach flavors. My friend said the overall alcohol flavor isn’t strong and is refreshing with no bitterness.
‼️ Conclusion:
I thought the savory dishes for dinner were great, and I’d like to come back again to try brunch next time! 😆
