Miss Molly's - The new hangout cafe in Tanjong Pagar

Hey Hungrybeings! 

How's your new year coming along?
Set goals and challenges for yourself!
Never too old to set new challenges or
to dream a new dream :)

Will be blogging a short post today~
Featuring Miss Molly's !


A quiet yet quaint little cafe located along Craig Road at Tanjong Pagar.
It takes approximately 5 minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar Mrt Station.

Every part of this cafe is a photogenic corner! 
Nicely decorated, feeling homely with pleasant ambience.




It was my cousin's birthday back then, brought her to Miss Molly's to have lunch.
When we arrived at the cafe, sadly no one is there serving us. One of the staff is using phone and another was busy doing something and did not notice us. 
Thus, we stepped into the cafe, the staff saw us finally.
Greeted with no smile and the staff looked unlively, we felt unwelcome.

The food and drinks menu

Good thing that there is no GST / Service Charge:)
Also FYI(For Your Information), all orders and payments are made at the cash counter.
~

We ordered 2 pastas & 2 Grubs(Appetizers). 

Spicy Arrabbiata with Bacon ($17.00)
Almost tasteless, too watery and it was just mild spicy. 
Quite disappointed with this dish as it feels like just 
an ordinary pasta with tomato sauce.
For this price, it is not worth it.
Definitely could be better!

Laksa Pasta ($18.00)

Portion was just nice, given 5 big prawns and in overall,
it tasted slightly better than average. The laksa broth can be a bit more strong and flavourful then it will be wondrous! :)

Calamari Rings ($10.00)

Crispy but too breaded.
The squid in thin rings were not as chewy.
However, portion wise, is good! 
Sweet Spuds ($8.50)

This sweet potato fries is absolutely delish!
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. 
It was served with 2 sauces:
Lime Mayo & Thai Chilli
Prefer the lime mayo instead of the thai chilli because
it is not so 'Thai-ish' and as yummy than the lime mayo.

Good for sharing and recommended! :D



Summer Iced Tea ($5.50)

We thought it was more than just iced tea. 
We were wrong. It was just ice lemon tea with mint leaves.

Anyway, there is water pitcher at the ledge of the cafe counter 
for self service if you need water.

~
Miss Molly's is surely a place for everyone
to hangout and whom enjoy comfy and
neat ambience.
Pop by & check out their Lunch Specials from 12 noon onwards!

Atmosphere Bistro & Bar - Serving affordable food, 3D Latte Art and good vibes

Hi Hungry Beings! 
As the year 2015 is coming to an end, make the last day ridiculously amazing!

Still looking for a new year's eve party spots? 
Go Atmosphere Bistro & Bar! :)


This 170-seater restaurant (both indoor and outdoor) offers moderately priced for both Asian and Western cuisines in modest setting by the coast. 

Few months back, they also opened a new outlet along Alexandra Road which focuses on cafe and bistro concept.

Not only you can enjoy the cool sea breeze, having affordable food in good ambience surely makes a complete satisfaction! 

Their service is good, staffs are attentive,
 but I feel that it can be better with more smiles on their faces :)

.

* = Chef Recommendation
^ = Best Seller

Miso Salmon ($20.80)

These miso-glazed Norwegian Salmon Fillet looks simple yet an impressive dish :
 flavourful miso sauce, salmon served on a bed of baby bean sprouts, topped with generous amount of caviar and mesclun at the side.

The salmon is meaty however if it can be more moist, it would be perfect! 

*Flaming Pizza 12" ($23.80)

P.S. The flame has gone out!
(The staff actually poured alcohol on the pizza itself and light it up in front of you.)

Crispy Thin-Crust Pizza topped with prawns, salami, assorted mushrooms and capsicums.
It is one of the chef recommendation dish however, it is slightly disappointing because it doesn't tasted as good as I thought, the prawns were tiny and it is not as appealing.

Carbonara ($15.80)
How can we not love Carbonara?

Simple but delicate. 
Not too creamy, portion was bellyful. 
Worth trying! 

^Mini Burgers $12.80

Three burgers, triple the fun!

 (Choice of Chicken/Beef patties)

Overall, it tasted good but I prefer the beef than chicken.

Smoked Duck Salad ($8.80)

Smoked Duck + Fresh Rockets = Heavenly
Totally remarkable!  

Love the sweet orange vinaigrette dressing for the salad, the crisps of breadcrumbs and bacon bits! 
However, if could give more of the dressing and well combined, it will be awesome. 
It is a must to try! No regrets :)

Escargot ($10.80)
Baked in fragrant garlic butter with melted cheese.

Chewy and the smell of the snails were not strong. 
Not the nicest one I tried but this is good! 

*Lobster Bisque ($5.80)

It was my first time trying this and i am loving it!

Pleasant strong smell, plentiful crab lumps.
It could be better if the soup is thicker!

^Grilled Squid ($10.80)

Such a big squid!

Glazed with Teriyaki Sauce and grilled to perfection.

Buffalo Wings ($12.80)

Don't know why it is called Buffalo Wings but we got drumlets ><

But... It was unexpectedly good!

The hot sauce is uniquely different, drumlets were well marinated.

Spam Fries ($8.80)

Crispy tender snacks anytime, anywhere. 
 Nothing goes wrong when spam fries meet kaffir lime mayo sauce!
.
.

Here comes the highlight of Atmosphere Bistro...
They are well-known for their Latte Art as well as 3D Latte Art!


I actually know the manager-in-charge, Serene, few years back when we were working as  Barista under the same company. 

Over the years, she has improved tremendously and her hard work had paid off! 

Her artworks are definitely worth praising, authentic and creative!
It's more than just an ordinary coffee... 

These are some of her impressive masterpieces:













*Note that the estimated waiting time for 3D or draw latte art is approximately 15 minutes 
&
3D or draw art can be done on both Hot or Cold Drinks. 

How to order: 

Firstly, select the drinks that you want eg, Gingerbread Chocolate(Hot).
Click on "Latte Art" as shown on the above and choose the following.
Draw Art is free however 3D art you have to pay $1 more which I think is reasonable :)

If you got any special request, just let the staff or the barista know. 



And, if you are lucky to see or spot Serene, do approach/chat with her!
She would be more than willing to share her latte art experiences to you all:)

Atmosphere Bistro also provides wide range of drinks:
Beers, milkshakes, cocktails, mocktails and hard liquors.

Do try their popular drink, Frozen Beer in Calpis flavour!
Other flavours including mango, cranberry and more!



 Currently, there is Beer Promo:
Any 3 Pints of Beer - Heineken / Kirin / Erdinger at only $30++

&

Bucket of 5 bottles of Tiger / Hoegaarden / Corona at only $33++

~

 This place is absolutely good for groups. 
Affordable comfort food which won't burn your pockets, having instagramable latte art 
 and more importantly,
the good vibes! :D

Do hop by Atmosphere Bistro & Bar to get a $20 return voucher with mininum spending of $40 using OCBC card. 
Hence, for your next visit,
spend $80 and above and enjoy $20 off using the voucher.

23 Jumpin - Serving specialty coffee and brunch

Hi Hungry Beings! 

Finally back from a very busy schedule!
Happy to be back to blog about awesome food in Singapore!:)

Anyway, lately I heard about 23 Jumpin cafe's signature honey paprika wings and
saw a lot of instagrammers posted it which makes me want to try so badly.
Hence, to celebrate my boyfriend's sister's belated birthday, 
we decided to go to 23 Jumpin!

23 Jumpin Cafe is located at The Commerze Building, merely less than 5 minutes away from Tai Seng MRT Station. 
Exit from 'Exit A', look to your left, you will see the sign : Irving Place, follow through and you will see rows of F&B outlets.
When you see a Vespa with the number 23 on it, that's the Cafe you are looking for!

~

 Well, l shall not drag any longer...
LET'S JUMP INTO FOOD NOW! XD
.

23 Jumpin's food and drinks menu



~


Jumpin's Ultimate Breakfast ($16)

Ready... Set... BREAKFAST!

Give your taste buds a wakeup call with fluffy scrambled eggs, juicy bratwurst sausage,
honey baked ham, creamy pasta, the bacon that tasted like "Bak Kwa" (Pork Jerky), some greens with balsamic dressing and bread.

Duck Confit ($16)
Not the best I had but it is worth trying because the meat of this duck leg was meltingly tender and moist. The skin was crispy however it is slightly burnt on the outside. The homemade mashed potato and the gravy are the real deal! 



Truffle Infused Creamy Mushroom Pasta ($15)

Life is a combination of magic and pasta.

I am a sucker for creamy pastas and I must say that this pasta was amazingly good!
The aroma, the taste was pretty awesome! The truffle is not overpowering or too heavy, it is just nice. 
I will come back for more, definitely!:)


Honey Paprika Wings ($8)
 These chicken wings tossed with sweet honey, topped with paprika and parsley flakes are to die for!!! 
Generously drizzled with honey and the best thing was, it is crunchy and easy to bite as it has only one bone in these half-cut wings.

Highly Recommended! XD

Truffle Fries ($12)
Well, truffle fries is one of the most popular cafe food in Singapore. Been searching for the nicest one. 
Although 23 Jumpin's one was nice, gave plenteous portion, however maybe a little more truffle oil, evenly distributed, it will be better.


Hot Latte ($4.50)
Finding affordable and nice coffee? 
23 Jumpin is the one you are finding!  

When you do drop by, order a latte and prepare your phone to take shots of their pretty latte art!  
...

Did not managed to order their uniquely pizza waffles which is an iconic dish in 23 Jumpin which I heard that it is good. 

But, I will try it the next time for sure!:)

~

For those adventurous cafe hunters, do drop by 23 Jumpin to enjoy awesome food with no GST and service charge!
Make a reservation to avoid disappointments :)
