d'Good Cafe

Hey guys! So it's my first ever blog post and there's no better way to start off  then with FOOD!

So 2 of my good buddies and I were hunting for some good food along holland village. I'm always on the hunt for great cafes in Singapore. Especially the ones that don't charge service & GST! Haha!
 As a student, there's always a budget and it can be difficult some times when in search of great quality food AND service.
That's why this website, http://blog.moneysmart.sg/lifestyle/15-great-hipster-cafes-where-you-dont-have-to-pay-for-service-and-gst/ , comes in handy for me. ;)

So this is what the cafe looks like on the outside :

Located at 273 Holland Ave, 278992 its not that hard to find this cafe, quietly tucked away in a little corner.
Now, I've read many mixed reviews about this cafe.. So it's time for my very own personal experience.
Are you guys ready? ;)


I absolutely love this cafe for MANY REASONS!!
Firstly we were warmly greeted by the staff working there. Since one of my buddy was Muslim we asked if the cafe was halal. It was not since they did serve bacon but when we took a look at the menu, none of the names of dishes had the word 'PORK'. So my buddy was fine with it and said she'll order the tomato based portobello pasta. For myself, i wanted something not too filling so I could leave some room for dessert.

So this is what I ordered:

Steak & Cheese Pie with sides of Chips & Salad. $14
Green Tea Cream Frappe with Whipped Cream. $6.50

So at first we sat indoors at the 2nd level cos it was really hot even though we were so tempted to sit at the Rooftop Alfresco. So the ambience itself gets 5 stars from me! 

Of Course I had to take some shots at the beautifully decorated Alfresco area!

Now the food. Words can't describe how pleasantly surprised I was when I cut open the pie. P.S. I did take a picture of it but failed at making it look appetising miserably. 

It was filled, and when I say filled, I really mean FILLED, with huge chunks of tender steak and melty cheese. It was pure divine. Salad was great! The dressing was a little on the sweet side which for me is a plus point! However, the only thing i don't get, is why they would pair potato chips with this dish. Just the pie and salad was good enough for me. :) 

The drink on the other hand was divine as well. A little too much matcha powder but other than that was fine. :)

So in totality, the food gets 4.5 stars from me! 

Remember how I was trying to save some room for dessert? Haha there wasn't any room left so I didn't get a chance to try their desserts. What a shame. :( 

One thing's for sure, I will DEFINITELY be coming back to this place with lots of room for desserts!

Lastly when it comes to service I feel that this cafe had it on point. They were really friendly! And also since it was more like a self service cafe, I wasn't sure how things worked. They were really patient and explained everything in detail. A very satisfying experience.

So service gets 5 stars from me as well! 

Thats all from me now. Seeing how cafe hopping/hunting is getting pretty famous among youths this days inspires me to start a blog with my honest opinions and reviews to the ones I've been to. I won't be only doing reviews on cafes but also beauty and fashion related posts. 

So stay tuned for more exciting posts ok?
