Three Wombats Cafe

Bought a Groupon voucher for Three Wombats Cafe. The name of the Cafe caught my eyes and the location was quite near my place so I went ahead and try...it is at 18 Kim Keat Road, near Balestier Road. The place is kind of quiet, peaceful and humble...there are limited seats so I suggest you place a reservation first before you go.

My voucher consisted of a soup of the day, an appetizer and a main.

Soup of the day (U.P. $3.90) was Cauliflower cream..quite thick and I couldn't finish..not because it was too much..just too thick to my liking.

Hot Hot Shroom (U.P. $6.90) - buttered and juicy white button mushroom served with special wombat sauce..I stole a piece before I took this picture..be careful when you eat it hot because the juice coming squirting out may scald u! Yum...

Pasta Carbonara (U.P. $10.90) - Bacon, egg yolk and parmesan cheese in cream sauce..nice! the cream was just nice, not too creamy or watery, the spaghetti was smooth and bouncy..the bacon really added fragrant to the dish..hmm..wait..where was my egg yolk?

Beef Lasagne (U.P. $11.90) - Layers of mozzarella cheese served with handmade beefy Bolognese sauce. If you like tomato or tomato sauce, this is the dish for you...I didn't feel gluttony after taking many bites and the cafe was quite generous with the beef..

I ordered an extra dish! BerriBerri Delight ($6.90) - Wombats' must try specialty dessert pancake. Served with special berry sauce and ice cream. This is a good to have pancake..the shape was so cute!! The pancake was thin but chewy...I couldn't finish this also after the carbonara and lasagne..

I think I will go back to try other dishes because I really enjoy the service there..they were so approachable and prompt. Keep it up guys!!

Udders

Since my good good friend requested for pancakes review, here's another one!

Udders is at Upper Thomson and I've been persuading myself to try out the pancakes there every time I go for gym at that area.

You know what Udders mean? *cough* It means the breasts of cow in this case...hehe..cute right?

This time after making sure I had burnt enough calories, I went there for pancakes. 

It is just next to the famous waffles place (which I will blog soon), Salted Caramel. The row of shops are very near Thomson Plaza.

I went al fresco again because I do not like the ambience inside..quite noisy and cramp.

Pretty girl at the counter but there's an ugly cable hanging in the middle. There are sooooo many choices of ice cream, I almost couldn't decide which one. And then I saw Butterscotch Whiskey...I want!

So I ordered The Udder Nana with Butterscotch Whiskey ice cream ($8.30).

It had 4 pancakes and fresh banana drizzled with caramel sauce and cinnamon powder. The cinnamon powder wasn't too heavy and the pancakes were very soft....the banana slices were too sweet. Butterscotch Whiskey ice cream was quite disappointing also, I could only taste alcohol and no butterscotch. Could be because the banana slices were too sweet and numbed my tongue.

4 pancakes were too much for me, I could only finish 2 pieces and half the ice cream.

There was not much service, except when the pancakes being served to me. I had to go back into the shop to take utensils. I think this place can satisfy you if you have pancake cravings.

In conclusion, you can consider eating there out of convenience.

Paddington House of Pancakes

This place was recommended by a friend, attempted many times to tempt me to try it out.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I went with a supportive friend who is so nice to let me choose a dining place.

Paddington House of Pancakes at City Square, where every food has pancakes (in any form) inside. Heaven...Being inside the place already felt great. There was no loud music, no crying kids and no big groups. Great place to have a peaceful meal after a long day at work.

 This place was really pleasantly quiet, the waiters were so attentive and polite. Love their services.

 Can you find me?

 Macchiato ($4) and Sunburst ($7 - Strawberry, mango, pineapple, orange and apple).

Mexican double burger ($19). Sesame puffins with homemade double chicken patties, pineapple ring, sliced tomatoes, double grilled cheese, sliced avocado, gherkins and fries. My friend wiped out the whole plate. And of course, the puffins are pancakes!

Munich ($13). Sliced chicken in creamy mushroom sauce and grilled with mozzarella. Sinfully awesome, and it was so big! The crispy layer at the bottom was another form of pancake! I could only finish half of it..

 Finally, the "main course"...PANCAKES! Let me zoom in more to tempt you.

 Original pancake stake with butter and maple syrup ($8).

AND THIS WAS MINE! Original pancakes with grilled banana, walnuts, ice cream, caramel sauce and chocolate honeycomb butter. LOVE IT. The pancakes were so fluffy, light and it was fragrant (unlike the common pancakes elsewhere). But I couldn't finish this after my Munich! So disappointed with my stomach.

There are alot more other flavours of pancakes available. I can't wait to try it again some day....

Tolido's Espresso Nook

Earth to Phoebe!

Finally I can rest my mind from work for a few hours to blog! I miss blogging so much I HAVE to continue!

I realize that these few weeks with all work and no blogging, made me crave for pancakes and waffles for comfort. And thanks to my supportive bunch of colleagues and friends, I get to try at different famous places.

So get ready for a series of pancakes and waffles posts!

=^.^=

First one, lunch at Tolido's Espresso Nook!

This is a very cozy and humble cafe that promises no artificial flavourings and no instant coffee. And of course..my pancakes.. I know most of our benchmark of pancakes could be MacDonald's Hotcakes but you have to try other places' with an open mind. They do not have a strong taste like Hotcakes.

Don't know why, I feel that just by looking at the back view of these customers, they seems happy and anticipating a great lunch..

 Bite size bakeries..

 ICE CREAMS!!

 Very organized and simple menu.

 I forgot what this was...but who cares when it had such a nice presentation.

 Mocha ($5.20)


Bacon Mushroom Aglio Olio ($9.50). Extra-virgin olive oil-based pasta with garlic, mushrooms and pork bacon. My colleague said it was too salty for him.

Panini-grilled sandwiches ($9.50). Curry-based roast chicken, onion and tomato. The curry was quite good.

 Bacon Arrabiata ($9.50). Spicy tomato-based pasta with pork bacon slices. My colleague said it wasn't spicy enough for him, so he added tons of tobasco sauce *roll eyes*

Tolido's Truffle fries ($9.50). The recommended must-have. Thick-cut fries, generous mixed with premium Truffle oil, topped with shredded Parmesan cheese. Indeed, the Truffle oil was realllllly generous, the fries were crispy outside and steaming soft inside.

Finally! My pancakes came (last) with such welcoming presentation. Tolido Pancakes ($6.90). As you can see already, 2 fluffy pancakes with chicken sausage and egg. Actually I appreciate the chef's effort for preparing such a nice looking lunch for me although I had to wait so long. Love the egg, but the sausage reminded me of primary school tuckshop sausage (I hate my school days). The pancakes looked light and fluffy right!? Taste wise....it was okay...

This place was rather noisy, the kitchen smell lingered on my dress and hair after the lunch there so beware if you are particular about your smell. However, it is a nice place to relax and chat awhile with friends. The waitresses were polite but they were really busy. So you have to be patient, order your food at the counter, pay and wait at your table.
