The dishes at Memo Café, such as French toast and smoked ham Eggs Benedict, are visually impressive and perfect for photos. The French toast is on the sweeter side and is recommended for sharing among multiple people. The hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Benedict has a slightly conservative flavor.
The atmosphere of the café is gentle and comfortable, making it suitable for reading alone or having a small gathering with friends. It has a high aesthetic appeal, perfect for taking photos.
The staff is friendly, but during peak dining times, reservations may be needed to avoid being seated in the basement.
Located near Rongxing Garden, 【memo cafe】 is a stylish café hidden in the alleys. Every dish in the café looks like it's part of a magazine cover. The overall atmosphere is gentle and comfortable, making it suitable for solo reading or relaxing, as well as for small gatherings with friends.
In terms of transportation, since it's a bit far from the MRT stations (Nanjing Fuxing or Zhongshan Junior High School), it's recommended to use Ubike for convenience.
I specifically came for their “French Toast.” When it arrived at the table, it certainly had a perfect visual effect, with thick, fluffy toast piled high with lemon jam, vanilla ice cream, crushed pistachios, and rose cotton candy. Each element seemed artfully arranged, like a dessert art show, and it was worth it just for the photos. However, in terms of taste, the toast itself is quite ordinary: it has a strong aroma but lacks the contrast of crispy outer layers and soft interiors. The toppings, while rich, tend to lean towards being overly sweet and rich, so I suggest sharing it with two or more people 🌹.
“Smoked Ham Benedict with Cheddar Cheese, Dill Pickled Cucumbers, and Brioche Toast.”
This dish places classic poached eggs on fluffy brioche toast. The toast itself has a light texture, with edges that are crispy and toasted perfectly, offering a nice balance of fat and creaminess. The savory richness of the smoked ham and cheddar cheese adds to the overall experience, but the flavor of the hollandaise sauce is a bit conservative, lacking that acidic brightness and creamy smoothness for a delightful surprise. If the seasoning were bolder, the overall flavors would be more dimensional!
Overall, 【memo cafe】 is a café with high aesthetic appeal and a great atmosphere, making it perfect for photos and enjoying a leisurely time. The desserts are visually appealing, and the savory dishes are consistently good, although the details and flavor nuances might be a bit conservative. If you're coming for beautiful photos, to relax and chat, or to enjoy desserts in the afternoon, this place is a great choice!
▫️ Sambal Grilled Chicken | Scrambled Eggs | Nuts | Fried Curry Leaves | Sourdough Bread $400
Excellent! The grilled chicken is generously coated with sambal sauce (a type of Southeast Asian seafood sauce), the meat itself is very juicy, and the combination with the sambal sauce and moist scrambled eggs is truly special. I personally really like the sourdough at the bottom; it has a hard crust but is moist and has a chewy texture inside! (However, my friend who loves lamb found the bread too hard XD, so it really depends on the person.)
▫️ Bacon Sourdough Sandwich | Avocado | Halloumi Cheese $360
This one was okay. First, the bacon is the kind that's very tough and salty, and the fried halloumi cheese is also quite salty, making it a bit too salty overall. The sauce in the middle is made with tomatoes (which I like because of the strong tomato flavor), and the avocado adds a wet and smooth texture to the overall dish. But for me, this one pales in comparison to the previous dish, and I won't order it again next time.
▫️ Coconut Milk | Pandan Leaves | Iced Latte $200
MVP🏆! Really delicious! The milk foam on top has the fragrance of coconut milk and pandan leaves, but it’s not overly strong; after stirring, the Southeast Asian aroma gracefully integrates into the latte. Highly recommended, a distinctive and tasty drink! 🥥
▫️ Caramel Fresh Cream | Earl Grey Tea | Yuanyang Milk Tea $200
This one is also good! I didn't notice much of the Yuanyang milk tea flavor, but the caramel aroma adds a lot to it, making the milk tea more flavorful.
The prices aren't cheap and the portions are small (a man should probably order two dishes to feel full), but the flavors are really quite refined and leave a lasting impression for a brunch. I strongly recommend the pandan latte and sambal grilled chicken sourdough! 👍 I would like to revisit and try other dishes from their menu.
Celebrate the BTC crash! ! !
The fish and chips are mediocre and not much.
The fries were not seasoned enough and the dipping sauce was just right but not my type. The fries have a thick skin, which is not my preference.
The fried fish part is okay, but just mediocre.
If you want fish and chips, I suggest you order something refreshing to go with it (I really want to go with a salad, but I’m not sure if it’s on the menu), otherwise it’ll be a bit boring.
A cafe with a nice atmosphere, perfect for sitting down and drinking coffee and chatting. The food is very exquisite, but the portions are not large.
Since I came here for lunch, the pumpkin risotto rice center I ordered was on the hard side, which was great! The flavors are rich in layers, you can taste the aroma of feta cheese, the crispy fried mushrooms, and the chewy texture of Matsusaka pork, which goes very well. It’s a very delicious stew~
It is recommended to make a reservation. If you don’t make a reservation, you have to go to the basement, and then there is no signal at all 😂😂 Even their WiFi has no Internet connection⋯
The food is good but a bit expensive! I ordered an avocado bacon sourdough sandwich. The avocado was delicious and the sourdough bread was delicious, but there was an unexpected smoked meat sauce on it. Personally, it was okay.
Next time, I will probably look at other more gorgeous-looking ones, such as eggs Benedict. I tried one from a friend who was traveling with me and thought it was very good!
For drinks, I ordered iced milk tea, which was delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness!
Maybe I didn’t order the recommended dishes this time, so I was a bit underwhelmed. Plus, there is really no internet connection in the basement. I only gave three stars this time. I’ll give it another chance next time.
