Fun Toast - Welcoming Family Cafe in Singapore

ABBEY: We’ve been here multiple times and I can say that it is one of our go to places for caffeine fix before grocery or after a meal. I got kopi and sometimes their kaya toast set. 

They also have other hot meals like laksa, mee siam, yong tau foo, chee cheong fun and siew mai. Specialty teas include honey lemon, honey lime and gula melaka.

WILL: It is fun in Fun Toast. Haha! Well, if you want an air-conditioned cafe that serves delicious kopi or yuan yang, you can definitely head to Fun Toast. 

This is our go-to cafe every after our weekly grocery. Coffee is cheap, the cafe is clean and relaxing due to their white interiors, and the staffs are friendly. 

I totally recommend this for tourists who wants to experience a local cafe here in Singapore.

Embark on a Flavorful Adventure with Konyo's "Kamayan sa Bukid in Singapore" Buffet!

ABBEY: Imagine going to a province and it’s fiesta. And you can eat as many times as you can. That’s the vibe at Konyo brunch. For SGD 19.9 we enjoyed the lunch platter which includes crackling bagnet, chicken-pork adobo, lumpiang shanghai, pancit canton, tilapia, rice, kangkong, talong and okra. Pair them with kamatis-sibuyas ensalada, spiced toyo-mansi and vinegar and bagoong and you’re set. 

We opted selected items only for our second and third servings as we can’t finish another platter. Our Pinoy food cravings were satisfied. We even have kwentuhan (chitchat) with the staff. 

Wash them all down with bulalo soup. Wow!

Embark on a Flavorful Adventure with Konyo's "Kamayan sa Bukid in Singapore" Buffet!

WILL: Another month, another buffet. And to celebrate another milestone (Chat’s 15th anniversary in Singapore) we opted to try the pretty infamous Filipino buffet situated in Orchard. Ahmm yes, you have read it right, it is infamous due to some reviews we read in their facebook page. S$19.90 for 4-hour buffet, we braved to try and see for ourselves if the bad reviews are true. Here we go… 

Konyo is a bar and only offers lunch every Saturday and Sunday. And we were surprised that their restaurant was not well lit for lunchtime, therefore we requested to move to a table with a good light. Our first platter came pretty fast. Everything tastes good and acceptably oily. Haha. My favourite is their fried tilapia and pork bagnet! Truly perfect for a steaming hot rice! Second order came like a little late and it seems that one of the waiters forgot that we requested food. 

We would like to commend Erika for her warm service and we will surely comeback for another affordable and tummy filling buffet.

Experience the Weekday Buffet at Yum Cha: A Dim Sum Delight in Changi Singapore!

ABBEY: Dumpling craving hit us again so we booked a table at Yum Cha Changi for dumpling buffet. The ambiance is like an old Chinese restaurant; quartz tables with wooden chairs. 

We immediately ordered a serving of roasted pork, pork ribs with garlic, siew mai, and prawn dumpling. In addition to that we also had mushroom dumplings, shrimp beancurd roll and fresh prawn rice flour roll. 

We ate to our hearts’ content. It was great experience as the staff keeps on delivering our food to almost no delays. Just keep eating. 

Weekday Buffet at Yum Cha

WILL: Eyeing for this dimsum buffet since pre-covid era. They are significantly located at Changi IT District and their signage is prominently inviting for everyone. But Abbey’s office was relocated at Penang and my desire to dine in Yum Cha faded. But the power of social media emerged and the cravings resurfaced and I booked it for monthly date with Abbey. 

So how was it? I want to applaud the people of Yum Cha Changi. The restaurant vibes like a home. Very welcoming and the waitresses make it sure that we are not waiting too long for our food nor drinks. You shouldn’t miss the Crystal Chives Dumpling and Yum Cha Prawn Dumpling.

This is so worth it. Very recommended!

Embark on a Flavorful Journey with Singalicious BBQ Buffet at The Orchard Cafe! 🇸🇬🤤 Up to 58% Off 2nd Diner!

ABBEY: As we celebrate Singapore National Day, we headed down to Orchard Cafe at Orchard Hotel where a Singalicious buffet awaits us. 

So much of local foods to indulge. I had multiple servings of pork and chicken satays, roasted pork and beef, shrimp, steamed chicken, tandoori chicken, briyani rice, carrot cake, kueh pie tees, ondeh ondeh cake and durian pengat. It was a feast of flavors; savory, sweet, salty, and spicy. I kept coming back for more.

WILL: Orcard Cafe is in Orchard Hotel. Obviously right? Haha! Every month of August most of restaurants here in Singapore is offering the local cuisines, and well that is our cue to indulge endlessly with Singapore delightful food! 

I specifically chose Orchard Cafe to indulge with their famous Durian Penget. And every table, you will definitely see not only one but more than 2 penget per person. The chef keeps on refilling the station of this delectable dessert. 

Next food to tick off is Chili Crab with fried Mantou. Again, it ia delicious but it is a bit messy for me to eat. I indulged too with their pork satay partnered with rice and washed it fown with a hot tea. 

This is definitely worth it. They are continuously giving promotions for every second diner, so just watch out for their next dining deals!

Chateraise Japanese Confectionery Cafe in Singapore

ABBEY: Next thing we knew, Chateraise shops are popping up. We headed to their cafe at Compass One and enjoyed their decadent Double Fantasy and Dorayaki. The cream is smooth and not to sweet as well as the read bean. And we washed them all down with a cup of velvety coffee and matcha.

WILL: Some Chateraise offers a seat down cafe. I saw some of it at Punggol Waterway and CompossOne. Since it offers my favourite Doroyaki and Double Fantasy, I definitely asked Abbey for us to try their hot drinks. 

My go-to is their hot Matcha. If you already went to Japan, you can tell that ingredients is definitely a Japanese standard. Hot drinks + cream puff + non-stop throwing ideas with husband = perfect date!
