Cafe Hopping: 49 Seats // The Plain // Strictly Pancakes
13:32:00
Hi fellow readers! I am back again for more cafe reviews.
It seems like my cafe reviews attracted more readers than my restaurant reviews. So I am gonna do more cafe reviews these 2 weeks. I am enjoying my holiday now but guess I am gonna start finding a job.
Let's start off with my cafe hopping trip at 49 seats with Alvin and kang rui.
Made a trip down to 49 seats as we heard a lot of good reviews and saw quite a number of bloggers blogging about it.
The cafe literally has 49 seats, we counted.
The cafe is opened till 430am, it is quite hard to find a cafe that opens till 4am, so for those night owls this can be 1 of the places that you guys can hang around.

Phone: 6225 4332
Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday, 6pm - 1am
Friday - Saturday, 6pm - 430am
Cheese Fries ($7.90) // Super generous portion of the cheese. It is a must-try dish, it is definitely worth it.
Fish Bites ($8.90) // The fish meat was soft and fresh, but it wasn't crispy enough.
Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($14.90) // The highly raved pasta! It comes with mussels, Clams and prawns. It tasted like laska to me, but it was sour and spicy, I suggest if you guys can't take much spiciness, you should request for less spicy.
Seafood Marinara ($15.90) // It comes with mussels, Clams and prawns. The seafood was fresh and the pasta was good but the sauce was a bit salty.
Chicken Chop ($13.90) // There was a list of sides to choose from, we picked mashed potatoes for both sides. The chicken was really soft and tender, the sauce was good too. The mashed potatoes was a bit dry.
Food: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5
There is no service charge and GST at 49 seats cafe. The food is good and it is a good place to chill and chit chat with friends over the small bites and drinks. I suggest everyone to make a reservation during dinner hours to avoid of waiting for too long. I definitely will be back again.
2nd stop, the plain.
Made a trip down to the plain cafe with my technology blogger friend olivier, do visit his blog for technology stuffs update ( haehcreivilo.blogspot.com).
The plain is a Melbourne styled cafe and it offers good coffee and hearty breakfast. The ambience over here is very cozy with simple furniture.

Generra ($4) // It was mocha. The coffee was good, smooth and creamy. Not too sweet too.
Latte ($4) // The coffee was fragrant, and smooth. The latte art was good too.
Darling's Eggs ($7.50) // It comes with ham, cheese, romantic tomatoes, and poached egg. Poached egg was well cooked, and the rest was just average.
Food: 3.5/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 4.25/5
It is a good place to chill out with friends or spend quality time alone on a weekday afternoon with a cup of good coffee and a book. There is no service charge and GST at the plain cafe.
3rd stop, Strictly Pancakes

Made a trip down to strictly Pancakes with Oogii for dinner.

Chocolate pancakes ($12++) // I think it was too sweet and galore.
Garlic Buttered Prawns ($14++) // The prawns were fresh, the pancakes was soft, and the garlic sauce was rich and creamy. The garlic fragrance was too strong.
Food: 4/5
Ambience: 4.5/5
Service: 3/5
The food was just average, or maybe I am not sweet tooth person. I think is a bit over priced with some above average pancakes. But it is worth a try. I suggest everyone order and share the pancakes cause the portion is too big to consume it alone.
That's all for this week's entry.
Thanks for reading :)
