Finding myself in Singapore for good is somewhat exciting. However, I must admit that the food culture isn't as broad and as elaborate as Sydney. True, there are plenty of local delish to choose from but I'm still struggling to adjust myself and be content with whatever the city has to offer. I have some favorite dishes in this country but tbh, I haven't found a favorite place where I am happy with as a whole package (i,e. ambience, food, service, etc). I truly miss finding myself on a sunny saturday morning sitting in a buzzing little suburban cafe surrounded by fashinoably dressed Sydney-siders accompanied by friends while indulging in my brekkie. Singapore, for some reason, lack this aspects of homey-feeling cafe. In general, the design of the cafes are way too modern for my taste and the weather is too horribly hot to suit up for my usual saturday morning regime.
One of the better place I found was the marmalade pantry at the Stables. Nothing like Sydney's cafe but I guess the remote location it established on makes it somewhat cozier than any other place I found so far. To reach the place, one must drive because if I recall correctly, the road to the place is so confusing. As the name implies, it is located near a horse stable so you may try to ride a horse adding to the overall experience in this place. I went there for an afternoon tea so I only get to try their dessert and I chose chocolate deluxe which tasted like the brownie I made (part of the reason I liked it, I guess).
Anw, as I thrive to adjust myself to this new place, I hope to really find something I can fall in love with and return to Sydney in a very very near future.
