[GIVEAWAY] Dose! – The Must Visit Café For Your Daily Dose Of Coffee

That’s right, it’s Dose! (with the exclamation mark). Given the owner’s enthusiasm for coffee and food, we have to say, the use of this punctuation is pretty apt.

Tucked along Tyrwhitt Road, this unassuming café is one of the latest additions to this hipster area. With its specialty coffee, varied food menu and cosy space, all you need is a good book or a laptop and you’ll never want to leave this café. We swear.

With Chye Seng Huat Hardware across the street and Tiramisu Hero down the road, competition is more than stiff for this humble café. Like you, we were just as curious about its location. How does Dose! intend to have its competition beat? Turns out, instead of instagram-worthy décor or any hipster related gimmick, this café goes back to basic by placing its emphasis on its menu.

First up, we have Dose!’s specialty coffee. The Candyman Espresso Blend consists of a mixture of three beans; the Ethiopian, Colombian, and Guatemalan beans. With its light-medium roast, the coffee was pleasantly smooth with, dare we say, zero acidity. We had the Latte ($6) and its flavour is slightly chocolate-y and malty at the same time. If you’re not a kopi gao person, the café’s specialty coffee is definitely for you. Usual coffee aside, Dose! also offers two particularly intriguing drinks; the Black Latte and Miloso.

The Black Latte ($6) is a bamboo charcoal infused coffee and is entirely black. For those who are worried about the charcoal overpowering the taste of coffee, fear not. You can definitely still taste the coffee whilst enjoying this unique drink. As for the Miloso ($6), it’s simply a combination of Milo and Espresso. We’re not sure about you, but this drink reminds us of a less thick Mocha. To be honest, we’ll take the Miloso over the usual Mocha any day.

When it comes to food, Dose! certainly does not skimp on quality and quantity. Jumping right off the menu will be the popular Full Dosage #2, Savory Waffle-Wich and Chili Crab Pasta. With its crispy-skinned chorizo, cheese bratwurst, and fluffy croissant, Full Dosage #2 ($13.90) makes a delightfully wholesome brunch. Flavourful sausages aside, we simply cannot get over how awesomely crispy and fluffy the croissant is. The secret, we’re told, is how the croissant is air fried instead of deep-fried. We’re telling you guys, c’est manifique!

For its signature Chili Crab Pasta ($13.90), the chef has meticulously included some mantous to complete the dish. In the pasta sauce, you’ll find chunks of authentic crab meat (that’s right, chunks) and mushrooms. For those who aren’t exactly fans of spicy food, fair warning: this dish may be a little too hot for you to handle so do consult the café’s staff before placing your order! Also, do note that this dish is only available on Wednesday!

For a cosy coffee spot, we thought Dose! has a relatively extensive menu. That is until we heard that the café is planning on introducing more mouth-watering dishes such as the Kong Bak Waffle-Wich, and Laksa Seafood Pasta. We’re not sure about you, but given its track record with food, we’re already anticipating the realisation of these new dishes.

For desserts, we’d recommend Charcoal Waffles with ice cream ($11), and Dose!’s handmade Tiramisu. To our pleasant surprise, the Earl Grey ice cream for our waffle is topped with teeny lavender buds that really complemented the flavor of the ice cream. The waffle is appropriately crispy and not too doughy, so yes to more Charcoal Waffles! As for the Tiramisu, all we gotta say is that fans of baileys will really dig this dessert.

If you’re not already thinking of visiting this quaint café, we’re going to bring you more good news. Besides free wifi and power plugs, Dose! is offering a lucky reader one complimentary set of

BLACK LATTE AND CHARCOAL ICE-CREAM WAFFLES

Delivering The Best Pastries From Cafes To You – CafeHopping In A Box

Let’s be honest, the issue with cafe hopping is that we get disappointed most of the time. You see these edited pictures and think to yourself that the cafe is worth visiting. You live deep in Woodlands and hop on a one-hour bus ride to Pasir Ris.

Alas, the food is horrible. You don’t know what’s worse — the fact that you wasted a huge chunk of time, or the thought that you were misled by a dishonest review. And the cycle repeats itself every weekend.

What’s a cafe hopper to do? Easy, you turn to CafeHopping In A Box.

Pastries from the best cafes

CafeHopping In A Box is the trouble-free solution for dessert fanatics who detest travelling all over Singapore just to grab a quick bite of an oven-fresh pastry. With this new bakery, you can easily buy different types of baked goods curated from four or six different cafes in a box.

Now you get to try the pastries first before deciding if you want to head down.

Notice the S$37.20 Classic Box of 6 below? (Caution: this might cause excessive drooling. You’ve been warned.)

It features The Bakery Chef’s rainbow cake; Grin Affair’s lychee passion fruit cake jar; Karafuru’s yuzu eclair, gianduja eclair, and ichigo cheesecake eclair; and Doi Chaang Coffee’s matcha and azuki crepe cake.

They all look too beautiful to eat, don’t they?

A quick peek at the website shows that there’s a wide assortment of pastry masterpieces for you to choose from. You can also mix and match! And the best part? There’s never a dull moment, because the menu changes biweekly.

Each pastry costs between S$5.80 to S$6.90, while the Classic Box of 4 and 6 can set you back at S$24 to S$28 and S$34 to S$38 respectively. The store requires a 3 day advanced order for their Classic Boxes, so see to it that you remember this bit to avoid disappointment.

You can either choose to collect the pastries at Bukit Timah Plaza, or pay an additional $30 for delivery (excluding Jurong Island).

How to get there

The Tiramisu Hero Strikes Back With A Brand New Menu!

What do you think of when you hear someone say “Sir Antonio”? If you’re anything like me, you’d probably picture a tall, armour-donning knight with a curly moustache.

Sir Antonio

However, for the patrons of The Tiramisu Hero, what comes to mind is a cat wearing a zorro mask and a flowing cape. Now, that’s majestic.

Sir Antonio is actually the mascot of The Tiramisu Hero, a cosy little cafe located at 121 Tyrwhitt Road. They even made an animated clip of his back story!

Oh, did I mention? Once you step into the cafe, you will be greeted with a really adorable sculpture of Sir Antonio.

13 Tiramisu Flavours

The Tiramisu Hero is known for their selection of delicious tiramisu served in a jar, with flavours ranging from baileys (alcoholic) to speculoos (spiced cinnamon) to durian. You can either order these from their

The Tiramisu Hero’s New Menu!

You’d probably think that they are exclusively a dessert joint. Contrary to its name, The Tiramisu Hero also serves a respectable variety of food and drinks.

In fact, they’ve been working hard at it and have just launched a new menu. (Click on image for clearer view.)

Check out the extensive menu. The food and drinks are to die for!

As much as I wanted to, trying every single thing on the menu is just not possible. I ended up trying two of the dishes that seemed really appealing to me. Here’s how it went!

Truffle Salmon Cold Pasta

The strong flavours of salmon, truffle oil and ebiko, coupled with the neutrality of the cold pasta created a balanced and refreshing taste. It was a pleasant surprise as I did not expect the flavours to mesh so well together.

Furthermore, in our hot and humid Singapore, cold pasta is definitely the perfect dish whenever you need to beat the heat. Go ahead and get some!

Salted Egg Pasta

One of the dishes that we couldn’t resist ordering was their salted egg pasta. Well, that is to be expected since the salted egg craze has been going out of control these days.

When the pasta was served, it was generously coated with a layer of salted egg sauce. They certainly don’t skimp on the good stuff! The rich flavour of salted egg yolks, combined with a slight tinge of spice was so addictive that it kept me going for more. This dish is highly recommended for all salted egg fans because I’m sure you will love it as much as I did!

The quality and variety of their food menu is comparable and better than many other cafes out there. If you ever fancy a place to have a meal AND a dessert, give this place a try! As a bonus, you can even take a photo with the irresistibly cute Sir Antonio as a keepsake! How cool is that?

PS: I have heard rumors that Sir Antonio aspires to be as successful as Hello Kitty. Give him a hand, will ya!

9 Chillout Spots In Jurong You Need To Call Your Own

Jurong? Let’s see. It has IMM, Bird Park and uhhhh, Science Centre?

Not exactly one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Singapore, the impression of this industrial area can be kinda vague. What else is cool in Jurong besides Snow City, right? But after a little digging, we realise that there are a few gems buried in the sands of the Wild West.

So chin up Westsiders, from tucking into bingsus to throwing electronic darts, listed below are nine chillout spots you can proudly call yours.

1. Coffee Nowhere

Coffee… no where? Now here? What is going on here.

Located within Nanyang Community Centre, we think this café is a hidden gem. Besides serving up a great Cappuccino ($5.80), this café also offers desserts such as waffles with ice-cream. So if you’re looking for a cosy café to host your coffee talks, look nowhere else because great coffee is now here in the West. Well, we did our best.

Coffee Nowhere

2. One Ice Café

If you are into all things Korean, One Ice Café is your perfect dessert stop. Not only does it offer a decent range of bingsus, but it also offers these ice-y desserts that are one of the most affordable around. So if you’re looking to chill (literally), give its Oreo Bingsu ($6.80) or Patbingsu ($6.80) a go!

One Ice Cafe
Address: JCube, 2 Jurong East Central 1 #02-67, S609731
Operating Hours: Daily 12pm-10pm

3. Toby’s The Dessert Asylum

Sorry Eastsiders, you can no longer call Toby’s The Dessert Asylum your asylum. Besides whacky desserts such as the Split Personality (vanilla ice-cream, cendol, red bean & gula melaka) and Artic Bombshell (chocolate ganache, vanilla ice-cream, chocolate cake & meringue), this eatery also serves a mean Smoked Duck Pizza. So if you’re looking for a place to have your meal and dessert, Toby’s is definitely the place to be.

If you’re dressed in a pair of jeans, we say go for this fun-filled activity. Sure, you may fall a couple of times but your friends will be there to pick you up. We think. Tough luck if they don’t. Okay seriously though, ice-skating is a pretty sweet group activity. If you’re in luck, you may also catch some ice-hockey hunks teams in action. Yes, we have an ice-hockey team.

The Rink
Address: 2 Jurong East Central 1, Level 3, JCube

8. Jurong Eco Garden

9. Chinese Garden

Don’t roll your eyes because not only is Chinese Garden surrounded by breathtaking architecture, but its tranquil atmosphere also provides us the much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Experience a little slice of ancient China as you sit amongst the Garden’s towering pavilions and stone bridges. Quite a calming experience, we must say.

Chinese Garden
Address: 1 Chinese Garden Road S619795

The next time someone jeers at dear old Jurong, feel free to take this article and shove it in their faces show them its awesomeness. There is more to Jurong than just IMM, Bird Park and Science Centre okay.

走访咖啡馆：Boufe Boutique Cafe

沿着Tanglin Road的 Phoenix Park，Boufe Boutique Cafe就座落在这个入口尽头的右边。这里的建筑物都保留了英国殖民期的样子，而在Boufe，他们也采用了极简主义的室内设计：简单、干净、全白色系以及充分的自然采光。另外，Boufe这个字其实是服饰店(Boutique)和咖啡馆(cafe)的合体，也就是说，这里其实是一家服饰店里的咖啡馆喔！
店里每天都会提供从早上10点至下午3点的早午餐菜单，而最值得推荐的就是他们的Triple B大早餐和Eggs Benedict。厨房在3点的时候会休息，一直到6点恢复营业并且售卖晚餐直到晚上10点。Prawn Aglio Olio ($20 nett) 和 Old Fashioned Beef Stew ($26 nett) 也是其中最值得推荐的晚餐菜式。 这里的所有价格都无任何添加额外收费。

The Triple B ($21 nett) 送到的时候感觉就像是一个什么都有的盘子。而最让人印象深刻的就是上面丰盛吸睛的炒鸡蛋和蜜糖涂抹的五花熏肉。

The Classic Croque Madame ($19 nett)是由火腿芝士三文治和一个荷包蛋组成的。虽然三文治还蛮薄的，但是非常松软可口。

这道Eggs Benedict ($16 nett)也是除了Triple B之外必点的Brunch！

他们的糕点是每天店里新鲜烘烤的。你可以选择他们的 croissant ($3.50), chocolate and citron tart ($5.50 each), tiramisu ($6.50) 和 strawberry shortcake ($8).

这个The Chocolate Tart ($5.50) 是所有糕点里面看起来最有趣的，它和室内的装潢一样以黑色和白色为主，形状就像是“阴阳”的样子。更有趣的是，这个巧克力塔是有三个层次组成，第一层是黑巧克力，中间是牛奶巧克力，而底层则是牛油花生酱。
此外，这里的白咖啡或是拿铁要价$4.80，而不同口味的拿铁像是香草、榛果或是焦糖则是$5.50。

最后，这里不只是只有早午餐这些美味餐点，附属在这间咖啡馆的Ohvola Boutique每个礼拜都会在网上发行新的服饰，并且在每个星期五在店里展示。所以说，这里每个礼拜都会推出新的衣服和手饰，对女生来说完全是好消息啊！

地点：308 Tanglin Road, Phoenix Park #01-01, Singapore 247974 (15-20 min walk from Redhill MRT)
时间: 10:00am ~ 10:00pm (星期二至四)

走访咖啡馆：Sin Lee Foods

现在越来越多的新潮咖啡厅四处林立，你是不是也怀念老式但又不失特色的咖啡店呢？Sin Lee Foods位于中峇鲁地区，是一间由咖啡店转化而成的邻里咖啡馆。这家店内的创新菜式非常与众不同，而且保留了传统的特色，是喜欢旧式咖啡店的你最佳的选择。他们家的招牌炸鸡waffle，据说不试一定会后悔喔！

这道 Sin Lee Fried Chicken and Waffles虽然是一个要价$21.90的Waffle，但是你一定没吃过搭配炸鸡的waffle吧？多汁无骨的炸鸡腿配上华尔夫饼，配上卷心菜沙拉和融化的牛油，再淋上调味的虾酱，独特又好吃！

这家店的有名菜式之一就是Salted Egg Sweet Potato Fries ($12)。如果你是地瓜和咸蛋的爱好者，那你一定要试一试这个。经过两次油炸的地瓜薯条，再搭配店里特制的咸鸭蛋酱和香脆咖喱叶，一点也不会油腻。另外，地瓜薯条也是远远比普通薯条更好吃喔！

要价$12的 Aburi Broccoli Salad是由烟熏的块状花椰菜、白醋、圆面包和红糖做成的。这样的组合听起来是不是很突兀？但是试过后才知道，这个沙拉意外地非常好吃，每一口的味道都让你惊艳！

这一道Beef and Grains ($24)也是店里另一个必点的菜单！像米一样的粒状面食会让人上瘾，就算你不是一个非常喜欢吃饭的人，你也会一口接一口的吃，停不下来。此外，店主也利用中西合并的原理，在这个西式料理加入了豆瓣酱调味，是不是很特别呢？
