It's been ages since my last cafe post! With our weekends packed with whats-not, I'm definitely missing the days where we went cafe-hunting :) I have made up my mind to visit at least 2 cafes in a month, hopefully that will materialize! A couple of weeks back, we headed to Jewel Cafe for brunch, together with Kenneth & Meiqin.
with Meiqin outside the cafe :)
The flagship is located @ Shenton Way, which was near my working place. Strangely, I have yet to set foot at the outlet in Shenton. I was more enticed with the branch located at Rangoon Road. This cafe is located in the quaint neighbourhood of Little India, within walking distance to L'etoile Cafe. Missing the "E" on their signboard though.
When we arrived at 12, the place was packed with customers! Thankfully I made reservations earlier in the week & we were swiftly escorted to the upper level for the table.
Counters located on both the 1st & 2nd floor respectively.
Food & drinks menu respectively. I was told that they do pretty good coffees, so Leecher went ahead to order their specialty.
Talkative Leecher always have to talk first before placing orders. When the rest of us have already decided what we wanna order, he then begin his journey of flipping through the pages >.<
Brunch is never complete without a cuppa of coffee - well, I substitute mine with hot chocolate!
The smell of truffle oil wafted through the air and reached us before the dish came to the table. Portobello White Mushroom Soup with White Truffles Oil ($9) is a hearty start to our brunch.
Burgers & pastas pretty much sum it all!
Leecher went for one of their signatures - Umami Prawn Capellini ($22) after seeing it on BFF's blog. Capellini with grilled prawns, crustacean oil topped with Umami "magic" dust.
Another one from the pasta camp - I think this was a National Day specialty - chilli crab spaghetti. This certainly paled in comparison to the one we had @ Halia. It was the sweeter version & the mini man tou were too hard.
On the burger camp, I headed for their OMG burger ($20) served with 2 slices of crispy bacon, juicy patty, luncheon meat, cheddar, lettuce, onion, tomato & topped with sunny side egg. If you are looking for a value-for-money burger, this has to be the one. As usual, I can't finish the burger and the guys had to chip in and do their part.
Kenneth dear was being health conscious lately & yet, he still went for the beef burger.
Lovely company for brunch :) We went for the healthy way when boss Khim is not around - see, no alcohol on the table!
Interesting rendition of apple crumble - food deconstructed? Nevertheless, I love the crumbles, so addictive :)
Kenneth busy on the phone.
Till the next brunch date!
