\"November
\n“Remember, remember, the 8th of November…” Actually, no, it’s not The Anonymous headquarters. The date was supposed to be opening date, but it was delayed. The\u00a0service<\/strong> was good, a little tentative, but careful and polite.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"November
\nThe food<\/strong> was artery-choking.\u00a0One of the poached eggs in\u00a0eggs royale<\/strong> ($15) was almost hardboiled but when the other egg yolk broke and flowed, the first taste was super extremely buttery (from the hollandaise sauce), then a slight tartness, ending with an Indian-spice-like rosemary focaccia bread. Quite unique if you like rich food.<\/p>\n

\"Nov
\nChiobu’s big breakfast<\/strong> ($20) scrambled eggs were also very buttery. And the sausage, salami, bacon, and parma ham, though catered, were not bad.<\/p>\n

\"Nov
\nWaffles with ice cream<\/strong> ($8) was tasty. Thin and crispy, our favorite dish. But one thing we didn’t like about the food was that some ingredients can be better quality. For example, the ice cream, with ice-shard texture, ruined the waffles, and the butter, which was used in high quantities in the food, didn’t taste like it was good quality.<\/p>\n

\"November
\nThe\u00a0coffee<\/strong> is a special blend from local roaster,\u00a0Dutch Colony Coffee<\/a>, with El Salvador, Mexican, Sumatran beans. We had a flat white<\/strong> ($4.50). Chiobu liked its robustness, but it mellowed into a sour alkaline taste that I didn’t like.<\/p>\n

Overall, we thought the service was quite sincere, and food was ok, but the cafe was characterless. I always think cafes are opened by passionate people who want to create their own space and show their personalty; November 8 didn’t show character, didn’t have a distinguishing trait, making it forgettable. Given the choice, we might have gone to Oz Specialty Coffee<\/a>, which was closed that day. Oz did appear to have a little more character from the outside. We paid $45.50 for two, no GST, no service charge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"#1
\nA takeaway cupcake shop, we ordered\u00a0red velvet cupcake<\/strong> and\u00a0salted caramel cupcake<\/strong>\u00a0($3 each) but when we got home, we discovered they gave us the wrong order:\u00a0red velvet<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0chocolate ganache<\/strong>. OUCH. Who would choose chocolate when there is salted caramel?!<\/p>\n

Perhaps because we were miffed with the wrong order that we didn’t like the cupcakes. Too crumbly, everything fell apart when we touched them. And overly sweet, which made the cupcakes monotonous. The sugar in the icing wasn’t blended properly and you could eat the crunch of sugar. We didn’t finish the cupcakes, even though they were 5 bites a piece.<\/p>\n
