The Little Prince Creamy 小王子咖啡座


Little Prince Creamery is located under a HDB block and can be easily spotted by it's eye catching black and white interior. Coming to this place is not an easy task since i am not familiar with this neighbourhood. So this is how it goes: 
I took bus no. 235 from Toa Payoh interchange and alighted at the 5th stop. You would be able to see Blk 75 Lor 5 hawker centre just before alight. Cross the road to Blk 48, and you will be able to see Blk 47 just behind it.



Once you stepped in the cafe, you will be awed by how well 'drawn' the cafe is. The walls of the interior are painted in white and are hand drawn with black ink all over from the floor to the wall, with pictures of the main character, the Little Prince on the wall as well. 





Immerse yourself into the world of Little Prince with the books available for browsing. 


The chalkboard menu is just one glance away


Variety of gelatos available for selection



Mocha $4.50 - Stronger chocolate taste compared to coffee. Recommended for those who prefer their coffee to be sweeter.


Muar Otah Sandwich ($7.90) - A east meet west dish, sandwich with otah filling to match local's taste bud for spicy food. Crispy toasted sandwich filled with thick fish otah filling. Together with mayonnaise spread on top of the otah, this combination makes the sandwich taste unique. This is one of the recommended dish for hot items. Chips are nonetheless from Pringles potatoes chips. 



Thick otah patty!



2 Scoop of Classic waffles, Pistachio & Earl Gray ($9.30) - The waffle taste alright, crispy on the outside and fairly moist interiorly, however lacks buttery taste. I prefer Earl Gray to Pistachio, probably due to my preference for sweeter taste. The Earl Gray flavour is stronger and definitely sweeter than Pistachio. The pistachio gelato lacks the fragrance of roasted pistachio.


Verdict: 3.5 /5

It is a good place to chill out or a place for your children to hang about as they will get to read about the story of the Little Prince. For food wise, recommended for first timer. There are nicer café and gelato shop in nearby vicinity which are worth to try.

Two Blur Guys - Tanjong Pagar

 The CBD and Tanjong Pagar district offers a wide range of food which attracts both the weekday and weekend crowds. One of them is the Two Blur Guys which is located at a walking distance from Tanjong Pagar Mrt. It is a burger joint which is popular among the young office crowds as they offer a fuse free meal with coffee or beer, good for both quick lunch and dinner chill.


Pulled Pork Burger ($13.85) - shredded slow cooked pork sandwiched in between lightly buttered and toasted wholemeal soft bun, together with melted cheese and tomato. All the ingredients fused together perfectly with every bite. Meat was moist and tender, not too salty or dry. Serving portion of burger was decent enough for a normal meal, but not for a hungry stomach. For the price paid for, serving quality and quantity certainly worth it.


Pulled Chicken Burger ($12.85) - Same appearance as the pulled pork. Taste was quite similar as well except that texture of shredded chicken was dryer as compare to the earlier one. Not too bad though.

Each set comes with a serving of large chunk potato salad and fresh vegetables
.

Small capacity of interior seats. Consider outdoor seats if you do not want to infuse your hair with smell due to its open concept kitchen.





Alfresco seats


Variety of burgers on the menu. Most of it looks appealing to me. 

Drinks and dessert menu

Verdict: 4/5

This burger joint definitely stands out from the others for its satisfying and well priced burger set. Service was very good and prompt, and staff was attentive as well.
There are other burgers on the menu that are worth trying, I will certainly visit this place again to try them out.

Bourke Street Bakery - Surry Hills





Wide choices of freshly baked breads and rolls



Colourful display of tarts and cakes.



There is limited indoor seats. However, i would suggest outdoor seats as you get to dine under the canopy trees and at the same time enjoy people watching. It is a great atmosphere especially when we visited this place during spring time.


Pork Fennel Sausage roll ($4.50) - I am impressed with this pork fennel sausage roll. The minced pork was thick and chunky,  and does not have a salty or strong meaty after taste, marinated just right. Absolutely divine to pair it with its flaky and buttery crust. 


Ginger Tart ($5.00) - Ginger tart is one of the specialty tart of this bakery shop. Served cold, tart was firm on its crust and within its filling. The subtle ginger taste makes the tart appetising to eat, sweet but not greasy. Taste just nice and unique. The chopped pistachio adds a nutty crunch and fragrant to the tart.


Carrot Cake ($5.00 ) - Carrot cake does not have any fanciful decoration or cream icing frosting on top, however taste exceptionally good from usual ones. The moist carrot cake is sandwiched with a thick layer of cream cheese and you could see bits of carrots within it. Though its just the cream cheese and carrot cake, both combines perfectly.  



Pork Fennel Sausage Roll

Mocha ($4.00) - mocha is unique of its own with a bitter after taste


Verdict: 4.5/5

Opening hours: Mon- Fri 7am-6pm
Sat -Sun 8am-5pm
Address: 633 Bourke Street, Surry Hills
(right at the junction of Bourke street and  Devonshire street)

Hainanese chicken Rice ($4.00) - Both the steamed white chicken and roasted chicken were tender and rice was fragrant yet not oily. Overall food was on the salty side.
