Afternoon tea at Hyde and co

Back in Singapore and the Haze is really bad, adding to the turmoil of the heat and humid weather! 

Headed to Hyde and Co for afternoon high tea. 

Location:
785 North Bridge Rd


Initially wanted to order the afternoon tea set but it ran out, so we ordered the scone set, a affogato waffles and pork pullman mantou to share. 

Was impressed when the food arrived. Pretty floral teapots with interesting tea concoction, beautifully plated dishes which are photo-ready.

Pullman Pork in Deepfried Mantou! Interesting dish over here which is a western-asian fusion. 
My fave is the Affogato waffles, espresso sauce, melted marshmallow and vanilla ice cream. Taste heavenly! 

Dazzling Cafe Singapore

Dazzling Cafe from Taiwan Opens its first store in Singapore! It's one of the popular chains in Taiwan with highly raved about Toasts and Alice-in-Wonderland decor. 

Address
15 Stamford Road, Capitol Building
#01-85

Opening Hours 
12pm - 12am
One of the cafes which open till late in the city hall area besides Macs and Starbucks in Raffles City. Other cafes usually close by 10pm and will be left stranded with no where else interesting to go after dinner with friends. 


Stepped in and couldn't feel more excited about the beautiful interior! It has a fusion of Disneyland cum parisian cum Alice in Wonderland theme! Most of the customers are females and couples - only fellow girlfriends would appreciate these kinda setting. Boyfriends would probably complain how expensive it is for toast. We were seated at one of the tables with normal chairs and realised the 2 tables beside has got cute bunny chairs! Just then, the 2 girls at the table beside left and we requested to shift to that table. Its super cute and selfie-perfect!

Didn't take a picture of the menu, so I've taken pictures of the menu from some other bloggers. The main courses are quite limited to pastas and risotto. Ordered a Mentaiko Spagetti in Cream Sauce and a Sauteed Mushroom and Prawns to share so that we still have room for dessert!
The dessert menu is much more extensive with all these beautiful and yummy looking toasts that had me spoilt for choice! The waffles and  toasts are quite expensive - $12.90 onwards and $17.90onwards respectively. The signature toast is the stack of Hazelnut, and Macha Toasts.


The Mentaiko Cream Pasta is nice! 

Macha Toast which comes in 4 stacks of toasts! Gasps! It was HUGE and was glad we shared the main course! Filled with Macha Ice cream, Fresh whip cream with Macha Sauce and Azuki with Green Tea Macaroon and Biscuit. There's 3 levels off hardness for the toast - Soft, Normal, Crispy. The waitress recommended Normal which most people would choose, and said Crispy was too hard for some. Normal was a little hard, so I probably will have soft the next time! 


Boufe cafe Singapore

Its the long weekend and I finally got to meet my favourite group of girls. We hardly meet as eveyone has a busy schedule but everytime we meet, we could easily pick up the conversations we had the previous time.
Found a new cafe at phoenix park - combi of boutique and cafe hence the name boufe. The boutique area is just a rack of clothes a changing room, totally not what I thought it would appear. It's hard to reach unless by a car/taxi. Partly of this reason, i like this place as it's not as crowded or having a long waiting list that you feel stressed to leave for the next table. I also like that the outdoor seatings are close to nature and perfect for pictures!
