The price was a bit pricey, but it was really worth it. The food over at TWG was really good. It's a good place to have a high tea or having a meal with friends, love one, or even family. Their service was fast and was amazing good!!

 Unagi Fried Rice ($20++), I am a fan of unagi, the unagi fried rice served in a hotstone bowl was good,  The flavorful fried Japanese pearl rice was slightly sticky and fluffy.  Good quality of unagi.

 Red Velvet Cake ($13.50++), The cake was fluffy, light and not too sweet.

The food over at Dolce Tokyo was just average. The dessert and tea wasn't that nice. I think i can find some nice dessert and tea at somewhere else. The service was fast but serving of food was quite slow. I wouldn't recommend you guys to come over to have a really good dessert over here.

The food over was average. The main was not really nice. But it can be a good place to have a high tea or just have a cup of coffee or tea with friends over here and chill. The ambience was good over at this outlet, it was very peaceful and quiet. The service was quite bad, as we often don't see them around or requested for something and they took Years to come back and might even forgotten the thing requested.

The food over here was just so so. The dessert was a bit too sweet too. But it can be a good place to have some coffee and chit-chat with friends, colleagues or family. 


5th stop, I Am Cafe.



It all began when Muhamad Jamuri Bin Busori accompanied his wife on a business trip to Amsterdam. As he ventured the streets and walked across bridges, he fell in love with the atmosphere and culture of the Dutch, this led to an inspiration to set up a café revolving around the things he loved about Amsterdam. From their bicycle-oriented lifestyles to how the Dutch eat their fries, these factors were incorporated into the concept of the café.
Upon his return to Singapore, he partnered with friends-turned-brothers, Jaffar Bin Sariban and Salle Bin Ahmad – fondly known as Sarong Fly and Salle Aura respectively to open up ‘I am…’ on 15th August, 2013.

The food over here at I am cafe was quite disappointing. Especially the fishs and chips, i only ate a few bite and left it aside. The ambience was quite bad, especially if you seating near the road side, it was noisy and smokey. It not really worth a try.

The food over here at Cafe Pal was really good, especially the tThai bubble milk tea. The Thai bubble milk tea was the bomb. I can drink it everyday too. The cafe was quite cozy, it feel like, you are having a meal at home. Everyone should come here at least once!!
