Food adventures.

Hello readers! (no response) I'm gonna introduce 2 food places I've been to recently so that you guys can also try it out if you wanna. I guess I'm always on the lookout for all these 'hidden' cafes because the decor and the whole look of the place attracts my attention even before I try their food.

So first up is this small cafe called Kichn which I had lunch at last wk. Situated at Albert Court, people tend to miss this quaint little place because its overshadowed by taller buildings and construction work around the area. But its actually very near to Laselle. Check their website out for the address. I heard abt this place from JJ, and we wanted to lunch there the other day but realised they do not open for lunch on weekdays. Only saturday (which was when I went). Apparently they only have one main cook who prepares all the sauces - of which some are quite unique. Basically, the notion brought forward to you is to 'embrace your right to choose' and 'satisfy gastronomical tantrums'. Thought it was pretty witty, no?

K enough of me blabbering, lets go straight to the food. You choose a base, main and sauce. Customise your own meal! The selection is not very wide but I'd say its good enough for a small cafe. Sauces include the yummilicious-sounding Chilli Crab, which would taste better if it was a lil bit more spicy and less sweet and maybe more egg? The cream sauce wasn't really fantastic, i have had better ones which were less starchy. But the mains were pretty decent. J had the chicken roll with ham and cheese ($10.90) while I chose grilled dory ($8.90, they gave me 2 big pieces!) And did I mention how their food came in cute little brown paper boxes? Great for takeaways! Oh and before I forget, they have ice blends too. And once again, you can choose what you want. Single/double/triple blend from a whole list. What we had - Bandung (which was the special for that week) and strawberry+oreo :>

Okay, so that was lunch. Dinner was at this really really nice and once again, simple and clean cafe bistro at the end of Arab Street. Fika serves sweddish cuisine which I'm sure most people will love because of Ikea's famous meatballs. I think I can live in Sweden now, and just eat Sweddish Panbiff and meatballs everyday. And sip on some strawberry cream tea...

J and I were not that hungry so we shared a Sweddish Panbiff, which was 2 medium sized beef patties with mashed potato, creamy sauce (like the ones Ikea uses for meatballs) and lingonberry jam (same as the one they use in Ikea). It comes with a healthy serving of salad too! I really love beef, I mean I can eat beef everyday and not get sick of it. And what more beef patties! The sauce is just so awesome with the beef, I love that its creamy. All for $17.90+. Cant recall what the rest ordered, I think someone ordered a crepe which looked really yummy too. It had savoury stuffing mmmm. Anyway you can check out the menu from their website!

Their desserts look good tooo. HH ordered an apple crumble which came with a scoop of icecream, and we also had a brownie with icecream. Very good brownie I would say, and I'm not much of a fan of brownies. I'll probably go back again to try their dessert and crepe :>

Okay wow what a long food post omg. Hope you guys are salivating hahaha go and try okay?!
