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.

Sunday Folks (Chip Bee Garden - Singapore)

Sunday Folks

Presenting to you Sunday Folks, the same group of people who created creamier. The difference between these 2 cafes are that Sunday Folks serve only 6 different flavours of ice cream and assorted cakes compare to its counterpart. In addition, the ice cream here are more like softee, soft ice cream.

The queue can be crazily long. When i came today, the queue stretch out to the outside. There is no queuing system and the tables are so limited, you just have to find a seat before you queue to order or just take away. Well, as Holland V MRT is just near its vicinity, now this place is very accessible. No wonder the crowd are drawn to here. Their signature flavours for the ice cream are sea salt gula melaka, dark chocolate, madagascar vanilla, roasted pistachio and summer strawberries. For me, i prefer the sea salt gula melaka and roasted pistachio.

Cakes are available for order at the counter. If waffles aren’t quite your thing, there are other offerings too. We spotted roasted pistachio ice-cream (from $6.90) being whisked from the kitchen, and this was served in a chocolate cone and topped off with pistachio nuts and a pastry stick. Cakes were on hand too, like a Japanese matcha cake ($7.90), matcha roll ($6.90), and cheesecake ($6.90), which were highly tempting.

Different type of topping. You can refer to the menu for the type of topping that you like. Different set of topping are charged differently. But, all types are good.

Order number, your order will be served shortly (hopefully...)

Pistachio ice cream waffles dripped with maple syrup. I have no complaint on the ice cream and the soft waffles that simply melt in your mouth, but the decoration of fruits with chocolate and maple syrup obviously shown that these are pre-made waiting for the waffles and ice cream to be served. Utterly disappointing in terms of service.

Operating hour: 12:00 - 22:00

Verdict: 3.5/5

It is a cosy place to chill out with friends and family members. I know my verdict are abit low compare to others. Firstly, the service is slow and shaky, tables are not clean promptly nor wipe till one of the staff with table cloth that goes around wiping table.

Ordering service is draggingggggggggg, hence resulted in the long queue. Things can be done faster if the counter staffs are more quick handed. Cutleries and cups are not properly clean, i can find stain everywhere.

The only score point is the standard of the ice cream and waffles which i am satisfied. Other than that, i will think twice when to come here again.

Maco Vintage - Johor Bahru Cafe

Maco Vintage - Cafe Johor Bahru JB

Unfurnished shophouses selling local food are usually seen everywhere along the streets of Johor Bahru, and that is what they are famous for and what Singaporeans are looking for when they visit Jb over the weekend for food trip. Unlike the usual shophouses, Maco Vintage is a fairly good ambience themed cafe which serves French pastry, desserts, coffee and main dishes.

Modern and sleek interior design with widely spaced tables

Prompt service received whenever service button was pressed

Menu

Range of sweet and savoury dishes with very affordable prices

Trio Choco Mille Crepe Cake (RM8.50) - White, milk and dark chocolate layered accordingly from the top till bottom of mille crepe. Not fantastic as it appears due to its lack of texture.

Croissant Smoke Salmon (RM18) - One of the best dish ordered in this cafe. The mini croissants were buttery and crispy, while the generous serving of smoked salmon was thick and fresh. Quite worthy for the price paid for.

Chicken Ham Pizza (15RM) - Thin crust pizza was thin and crispy, taste ordinary.

Waffle (RM12) - Waffle was too chewy with mochi texture. Overall too sweet and hard to chew.

Assorted flavours of Mille Crepe on display

This cafe is very well furnished and thus I had set higher expectation for its food and dessert. Food could be improved to match with its good ambience.

Verdict: 3/5

Price: RM30 per pax

Address: 18, Jalan Ibrahim, Johor Bahru 80000, Malaysia (located next to Hiap Joo Bakery which sells banana cake and opposite Kin Wah coffeeshop, 10 mins walk from city square jb)

Alfero Artisan Gelato - Orchard Gateway

New outlet opened at Orchard Gateway B2. This stall features homemade Italian gelato that have a wide variety of flavours for customers to select. 

Current Pricing if you are looking for waffle + Gelato

I ordered a scoop of pistachio gelato with waffle. I must say that the gelato is certainly very very good. Strong pistachio flavour and its sweetness it just right. Recommended for the gelato. However, i am fairly disappointed with the waffle. Although it was served crispy, but the taste is bland and not fluffy. Its a let down. Still, try the gelato in cups or cone as recommendation. 

Pricing: $10 Premium Gelato ($9.50 for normal gelato)
