My Awesome Cafe - Retro Vintage Cafe with Delicious Food

Singapore has no shortage of interesting cafes. From dreamy Kreams Krafthouse to Harry Potter-themed Platform 1094, there is something for everyone. I recently visited another interesting cafe in Telok Ayer Street called My Awesome Cafe. 

My Awesome Cafe - Restaurant Front

This cafe is housed in the shophouse that used to be Chung Hwa Free Clinic. You can still see the facade with the Chinese words in black on the pillars at the entrance to the cafe. 

My Awesome Cafe - Restaurant Entrance

Following the retro theme of the shophouse, My Awesome Cafe is decorated in a distinctively vintage look. The white walls are left unfinished on purpose and the furniture are all thrifted from around the island. The strings of colorful paper filled with well wishes from patrons that are strung across the ceiling reminds me of the Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags. The warm glow from Japanese paper lanterns and fairy lights on the ceiling gives the cafe a cosy atmosphere. 

My Awesome Cafe - Service Counter

A smorgasbord of vintage items decorates the service counter. Tingkat containers line the uppermost shelve, vintage cups and utensils hangs on the metal rack below.

My Awesome Cafe is not only a cafe, it is a full-fledge restaurant. You can get everything here: breakfast, organic teas, coffee, smoothies, salads, wraps, burgers and drinks.

My Awesome Cafe - Top View

This is what I chose for breakfast: Toasted Brioche + Smoked Salmon + Organic Oat + Super Berries Organic Tea [S$18].

My Awesome Cafe - Super Berries Organic Tea

I am very sensitive to caffeine so I got this Super Berries Organic Tea [S$5] instead. The sourish taste is perfect for waking me up. Berries contain antioxidants which helps to keep me healthy and give me glowing skin.

My Awesome Cafe - Latte

For those who love coffee, I recommend Latte [S$5] which is served in glass cups commonly found in hawker coffee stalls. My friend says the latte is thick and rich.

My Awesome Cafe - Spicy Thai Beef Wrap

You can also get other items such as this Spicy Thai Beef Wrap + Cheddar Cheese [S$17]. The melted cheddar cheese gives the flavorful wrap a creamy finish. 

My Awesome Cafe - Crab & Semi-Dried Tomato Salad

Crab & Semi-Dried Tomato Salad [S$19] is supposed to be a popular salad at My Awesome Cafe and it definitely does not disappoint. 5 types of air-flown salad leaves and oven-roasted garlic vegetables (pumpkin, cherry tomatoes and carrots) makes up the base and garnished with organic pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. It is a healthy salad with loaded with healthy vegetables, protein and nuts. 

I really wanted to try the Awesome Burger [S$28 for Regular, S$40 for Beast] which every other table seems to be ordering. But I was too full from the hearty breakfast and salad, so I will be back to try it another time. 

My Awesome Cafe - Decorations

Not only is My Awesome Cafe Instagram-worthy with its rustic vintage decorations, the generous-portioned food is wholesome and delicious as well. 

My Awesome Cafe is very popular, I highly recommend getting a reservation in advance especially for weekends.

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...
