% Arabica Singapore - Famous Japanese Cafe

ABBEY: This is one of the minimalistic cafe I’ve been to. The matte white and brown colors along with warm lightings invite you to come and sit in a quite and calm cafe. I like their coffee as it is smooth and not so bitter aftertaste. No need to add sugar to get the natural sweetness from the beans that complements with the milk. 

A bit pricey though but worth. I need to visit their branch at Holland Village (seems it huge and have more space). 

% Arabica Singapore - Famous Japanese Cafe

WILL: Okay, I am guilty for delaying this review because I don’t want people swarming in to this cafe (feeling famous blogger? Haha!). How long was the delay to blog the Arabica? Only more than a year. Sorry! 

% Arabica is well known in Japan, thus you may see the simplicity of each cafes. White and brown color somewhat touch a “home” ambiance to each diner. What I always order in %Arabica is Spanish Latte which is not available in most of cafes. It is sweeter, smoother and aromatic than usual cafe latte. 

Singapore only have 4 outlets of % Arabica and the branch at Jewel Changi is my favourite so far. Not too crowdy and can do people watching hehe. Definitely not an alternative cafe!

Roti Mum - Best Coffee Bun In Singapore

ABBEY: It was highly anticipated when Roti Mum made its comeback to Singapore. Queues will be long definitely. We went there two to three weeks after opening and behold no queue at early afternoon (Wisma Atria). 

We got coffee bun, chocolate bun as well as salted egg bun. The outside is somehow crispy giving its shape and the inside is soft and chewy. You can really taste the distinct flavors. I’ll stick to the original coffee bun.

Roti Mum - Best Coffee Bun In Singapore

WILL: It flashes back memories! Haha! Abbey and I had our first Roti Mum way, way back 2009 and it is in Philippines. That is my first and last dose.

Now, Roti Mum is back in Singapore and instantly got hooked with it. Indeed it is way better than the other dull coffee buns. It is creamier, fluffier and of course packed with coffee flavour. We always have a set of 6 and now they are offering different flavours like pandan, chocolate and butter.

Drop by in their Wisma Atria Orchard!

Easy Skinless Longganisa Recipe 

VERDICT

WILL: Abbey suddenly advised that he will be making skinless longanisa and he found that recipe on Aling Mely’s website and in good coincidence the minced pork is on 1-for-1 promotion at FairPrice.

So how was it? It taste like what my mom is buying from her suki. I can’t find the difference. Good job Abbey! I requested for more garlic and pepper on the next batch. Perfect Longaisa without any additives.
