\"the-daily-press-cafe-singapore\"The Daily Press at Toa Payoh<\/strong> is just 2 blocks away from Creamier<\/a>. I don’t know why Creamier is always crowded no matter what time of the day you go; I can’t see its attraction. But when you compare the lunch crowd at The Daily Press and Creamier, it gets a little sad.<\/p>\n

\"the-daily-press-cafe-sg\"But the thing is the food at The Daily Press is rather good. Heart and effort are poured into the concept of the food. There is a Set Menu A<\/strong> ($18.90), which includes a soup, a pasta, and a beverage; and Set Menu B<\/strong> ($10) for a drink and a cake.<\/p>\n

\"the-daily-press-cafe-menu\"At first sight, it seems that the set menus give good value, but when the food came, we were disappointed at how small the portions are. The mushroom soup <\/strong>appears to be made from scratch, with granular mushroom floating. Tastewise, it is rather bland and uninspiring, but at least it doesn’t come from a can.<\/p>\n

\"the-daily-press-cafe-toa-payoh\"The anchovy fusilli  <\/strong>($15 for a la carte) is rather innovative. It tastes exactly like how it is described, but it’s just that: pasta tossed in sauce, monotonous. No meat. No meat. No meat! Come on, throw some meat in the pasta.<\/p>\n

The Korean Fried Chicken sandwich<\/strong> ($13) is delicious as it is creative. A thick, juicy chunk of fried chicken with very crispy skin, and spicy, piquant kim chi, in a superb, extremely crusty sandwich. I want to know the bread supplier; it’s fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"the-daily-press-cafe-review\"I didn’t take notes, which I should, and I forgot how the coffee tasted. But I guess it is forgettable.<\/p>\n

One incident did stand out for us. We ordered first. But coffee was served to 2 other customers who came in later than us. So we asked the waiter, and he said it was brewing. We waited for a while more. Still it didn’t come. We were rushing for a medical appointment. So I asked the barrista. She replied me rather impatiently that the cup was coming. Ok, that was unpleasant.<\/p>\n

Instead of asking us to wait, maybe they could have explained why they served other people, who ordered after us, coffee first.<\/p>\n

In any case, I don’t think they really care for their coffee; or rather we certainly don’t care much for it. The food, on the other hand, is rather good although the portions could have been way more substantial. I was still hungry and wanted to order a cake, but Mr Fitness was watching my diet for me. Oh well.<\/p>\n

We paid $36.40 for two<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
