Breeks Cafe

When you have a malay classmate, you would have to select a Halal venue for a class dinner. We were greeted by commendable service at this Harbourfront outlet, friendly staffs who were eager and polite maintained their smiles and even shouted welcome and goodbye in unison.

Foodwise, they failed to impress. All of us agreed average food at killer prices. Shall go through in order of arrival...


BBQ Half Chicken with Pepper Cream Sauce ($15.90)

With two stumps of yellowish Mash Potato, for Jeff and Gabriel.


Potato Island ($5.90)

The muslim girl ended ordering just an appetiser- deepfried half potaoes loaded with pan-fried crabmeat, topped with mushroom sauce and parmesan cheese. A much cheaper yet filling option.


Pan-Seared Blackpepper Seabass ($16.90)

Mine was third to arrive. The seabass fillet is typically floured before pan-frying, then served with a passable tomato-based pasta and some buttered vegetables. Grapefruit sauce seemed more like cheese to me.


Chicken Pattie Melted ($12.90)

Clarissa's. Minced chicken patty topped with panseared capsicums, onions and then topped with a melted cheddar slice.


Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce ($9.50)

Sarah and Ian went for the pasta-only alternative, which failed to resemble its appetising image in the menu.


Hotplate Salmon Steak ($16.90)

Yingjie was ultra shocked to see his paltry portion of panseared salmon served with a few sauteed potato slices on a hotplate. Xinmei had it too. I'm sure they were only half-filled after the meal.


Baked Dory Glazed with Lime Chilli Sauce ($15.90)

Spicy and tangy panseared dory for sam and junhe.


Baked Dory glazed with mushroom Cream Sauce ($15.90)

Creamy and aromatic panseared dory for Huiling- it could certainly win the healthiest choice award.


Brownie with Warm Cheese Sauce ($6.20)

I could not resist the temptation to steal a bite from Sarah and Krist's dessert... it was such a novelty! The cheese was an unusual accompanimentwhich went surprisingly cooperative with the choco-chips filled brownie, jazzing up the semi-sweetness with a warm savoury touch. Goodbye, chocolate syrups.


Towering Cioccolato ($6.20)

Caroline and Xinmei shared a sundae too.

The bill was a full-time bomb- so a revisit is most unlikely.

Another Fast Forward

school life is so taxing that i'm finding it hard to catch up with my blogging. will have to skip a long list of entries once again and hop on to the most recent ones first. sad!

TCC's Sandwich Affair

MatchAzuki Freeze ($7)

The lastest beverage addition on the menu featured a repertoire of japanese green tea and red bean blended icy and milky, truly awesome.


Chicken and Mushroom Sandwich ($10.50)

This dish was full of tastes to excite the senses. An assemble of cold cajun chicken slices with sauteed mushrooms, tomatoes and crunchy lettuce on a toasted wholemeal bun. What took to my liking most was that greenish Asian Pesto puree, stunning with a punch of chinese parsley and ginger. A total chicken rice condiment!


Creamy Tuna and Cheese Melt Sandwich ($9.50)

Dad's hot sandwich consisted of creamy tuna baked with melted cheddar cheese and tomato. Both our orders were served with mesclun mix and pieces of pappadum crisps, suited to meet the local needs.

Coffee Bean Breakfast

Skinny Cappuccino & Japanese Cherry Tea

It was another Saturday morning at Parkway and Dad decided a change for breakfast. The All-Day Breakfast sets is accompanied with free-flow of coffee/ tea and seemed to be popular with the early crowd here. Cappuccino comes at $1.20 more.


Brek O Day ($7.30)

The most wholesome selection out of the menu had to be Dad's Brek O Day. Scrambled eggs, sausages and toast fitted his favourites list exactly.


Salmon N Egg Muffin ($7.30)

Mine did just as fine. I had nice smoked salmon slices sandwiched between toasted bread and sided with a hearty cranberries-almond salad. The panini bread i substituted for (instead of english muffin) was also deliciously tasty on its own, bearing a mild sweet aftertaste.

Morning meals at Coffeebean- more to come.
