Gudetama Cafe - Theme Cafe Serves Decent Food

Gudetama, the grumpy and lazy popular Sanrio egg character from Japan, has finally arrived in Singapore. Gudetama Cafe opened on 30 November 2016 with roaring success. Snaking long queue can be seen outside the cafe every day in the following one month. 

 
The 2300 square feet cafe has a seating capacity of 112, decorated with animated walls, waffle ceilings and egg-shaped booths. 
 
That is all very well, but the most important question is: how is the food? Is it good enough to justify queueing for half an hour? Let's go and find out.

I was recommended this Straw-Very "Lazy" when I asked for a drink recommendation. It is essentially a sweet tea infused with lychee and blueberries. It is of just the right sweetness and the cute design makes it even more enjoyable.

I have been craving for a bread bowl for a while which is why I ordered Gudetama Lobster Onsen. You can taste a bit of the lobster in the lobster bisque but I personally feel that it is not creamy enough.

"I'm Cold"Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict is Gudetama Cafe's version of the popular breakfast item. Two poached eggs are wrapped with smoked salmon, sitting on top of brioche toast with mashed avocado, topped with yuzu hollandaise sauce, served with sautéed mushrooms, hash brown and salad. The poached eggs are runny and the hollandaise sauce, the deciding factor of any egg benedict dish, is creamy with a slight sweetness from the yuzu.

Big "Nua" Breakfast is one of the bestsellers at this cafe. Two sunny-side-up are accompanied by crispy bacon, sausage, sautéed mushrooms and salad. The sautéed mushrooms are a little bland and the bacon are a little too charred but the cute presentation of the dish wins me over.

If you are looking for something a little more filling, Lazy Surfer may be a good option. A bowl of Brazilian rice is surrounded by seafood such as clams, sotong, mussels and prawns. Mashed potatoes may be used when the cafe runs out of Brazilian rice. The seafood is not very fresh, but nothing that will cause a stomach upset.

Shuyu Ramen's presentation is so convincing that I really thought it is a ramen dish, but the "ramen" is actually made with chocolate and feuilletine cake topped with chestnut mont blanc and earl grey jelly, accompanied by pannacotta and sweetened rose tea. Unfortunately, the "ramen" turned out too soggy but the pannacotta was good.

Gude Pudding is a dessert of perfectly-shaped caramel flan sits on top of premium vanilla ice-cream, served with caramelized bananas and apple crumble. The vanilla ice-cream is rich and smooth and the caramel flan is creamy and delicious. This is definitely my favourite dessert. 

I am fairly surprised by the quality of the food served at Gudetama Cafe because it is so much better than many other theme cafes. Now that school holidays are over and the hype has died down, there isn't much queue which makes it the perfect time to try out Gudetama Cafe.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
