\"The
\nA rave review on the food drew us to this new cafe by hotelier Loh Lik Peng (who opened one of the best restaurants this year, Burnt Ends<\/a>) and Cocotte<\/a>‘s chef Anthony Yeoh. The decor<\/strong> is an eclectic juxtaposition of clean modern lines and retro lamps, chairs and posters. Chiobu said, “Why do they want to make a new place look so old?” Chiobu observed that the cups and plates made the photos look like we were in a kopitiam<\/em>. <\/p>\n

She also commented the\u00a0servers<\/strong> weren’t friendly, but I felt they were new and shy and, at the very least, efficient.<\/p>\n

\"The
\nThe savory food has a simple menu of\u00a0pasta<\/strong>,\u00a0sandwiches<\/strong>, and\u00a0salads.\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0Reuben Sandwich<\/strong>\u00a0($14) was orgasmic! MUST ORDER<\/strong>. A salty corned beef, soury and pungent sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), a fat Russian dressing, boasted by a creamy Swiss cheese, were sandwiched between two crispy toasted sour dough–a kaleidoscope of tastes!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"The
\nThe\u00a0Belinda’s Perogis\u00a0<\/strong>($5) was one palm-sized traditional Polish dumpling with mashed potato and ricotta cheese, topped with bacon and sour cream. The dumpling wasn’t dried properly; you can see water at the bottom of the dumpling. It was carbs wrapped in carbs. The calories weren’t worth the taste – give this a miss, and order another another sandwich.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

For\u00a0desserts<\/strong>, there were\u00a0lemon cake<\/strong> ($6.50),\u00a0choc walnut caramel tart<\/strong> ($6.50), and a selection of ice creams and sorbets<\/strong> ($5 a scoop). Chiobu said, “The lemon cake<\/strong> tastes like a fruit cake without other fruits!” Funny but true. It was very dense with a burnt crust, embittered by lemon zest, topped with vanilla cream. The homemade sea-salt vanilla ice cream<\/strong> ($5) wasn’t creamy enough and was bland: its texture was more like sorbet than ice cream. We didn’t finish the cake and ice cream. Skip the dessert and walk two doors down to either Grin Affair<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for tiramisu or Audacious Cakery<\/strong> (see below).<\/p>\n

\"TheNo coffee art?<\/em><\/p>\n

Both Chiobu and I didn’t like our latte\u00a0<\/strong>($5) and\u00a0mocha<\/strong> ($5)\u00a0(from Highlander Coffee<\/a>),\u00a0bitter and grainy. <\/p>\n

We didn’t understand how our experience was so different from the magazine review.\u00a0We read that the sandwich was huge, but it wasn’t; it was just slightly bigger than a Yakun toast. The magazine recommended keylime pie<\/strong>–not on the menu leh<\/em>. The magazine had such an excited tone but we left slightly disappointed. It’s about managing expectations. I thought The Provision Shop was an ok experience, not very good but not very bad too, but the magazine oversold it. Chiobu said, “It’s not worth waking up in the morning for.” We spent about $40 for two<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Audacious
\nShould have skipped desserts at Provision Shop and came straight to cakes at Audacious Cakery. There wasn’t anything audacious about the cafe; on the contrary, it is quite safe with delicious cakes. The green tea cake named Faith<\/strong> ($6.80) was fluffy and tasted strongly of matcha while the chocolate souffle tart<\/strong> ($6.80, ask to warm it, pictured below) was intense but not excessive and came with a thin slice of nuts that added variety. It was slightly bitter but quickly evolved into a sweetness. Even Chiobu, who didn’t like bitter chocolate and nuts, approved of the tart. Audacious also sells\u00a0cupcakes<\/strong>, and savory bakes like\u00a0pain au chocolate<\/strong>,\u00a0croissant<\/strong> and\u00a0french loaf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Audacious<\/p>\n

The service<\/strong> by a young, slim boy was wonderful and considerate. When he saw that we didn’t finish the cakes, he asked how they could improve on them. (We were on a diet.)<\/p>\n

Quite an excellent cake shop. I think the cakes rank slightly below K-Ki<\/a>‘s, which to me is the best in Singapore. But two gay men came into the shop and bought cakes. You know gay men and calories: if they eat it, it must be good. We spent\u00a0$13.60\u00a0for two cakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
