Local breakfast sets at $5 a pop.

And just for the early risers having breakfast before 10am,

have an add-on for a local coffee or tea at $1

Mee rebus

The noodles had a good bite.

The gravy was substantial and the ingredients evident.

The fibres of galangal, fragrance of peanut and thick taste of mashed sweet and regular potatoes.

I would've liked it more savoury than sweet though.
And you wouldn't like this if you were a carnivore.

No meat in sight!

Ooh.

Rich.

Curried.

Chicken laksa.

Slippery fat laksa noodles in a thick coconut spicy gravy.

Too heavy for breakfast!

Garlic mushrooms.

A substantial side portion at just $3.

A side option to be added on to my Basic works at $7.

That's a $10 breakfast plate.

That's pretty good value for the Tanglin area if you're asking me. :)

I would've liked my bacon crisped.

These were barely browned at the edges.

Hmm.

Aside from that,

the thick toast with butter was redolent with the fragrance of butter, soft and chewy all at the same time.

They have small dollops of kaya and peanut butter at the counter tops if you wanted some bread spread. :)

The scrambled eggs were done just right.

Although that was a 45 minute queue plus wait on a busy Hari Raya Haji Friday morning,

I'm pleased with my introduction of a new dining option to my parents.

But I'd think twice about morning exercise.

It started with THIS!

I'm too full to walk anywhere already. :p

Chocolate covered goodness #Chocgoji

The first time I bought the milk chocolate Chocgoji,

we had just come home from our evening jog.

I put one into the boyfriend's mouth and asked him to guess what it was.

Raisin?

Nope.

Wolfberry?

Mmmhmm!

I nodded excitedly and handed the packet over.

Eat well. It's good for you! :)

He proceeds to -pour- the Chocgoji into his mouth.

Not like that!

You said it's good for me right?

-_-

These tiny red berries have 15x more antioxidants than cranberries and 50x more Vitamin C than oranges.

Now that's what I call a superfruit!

And not just a superfruit, it's now been coated with cocoa goodness to make it a healthy indulgence.

Thumbs up to YCT Manufacturing for taking care in ensuring that everyone can enjoy the benefits of their product with not just one but THREE variants of Chocgoji-

Milk chocolate, Dark chocolate and Sugarfree Chocolate.

Case in point?

At our breakfast run this morning at Singapore Botanical Gardens,

Mum wanted a hot chocolate.

How about Milk chocolate Chocgoji?

Dad needs a little sugar sometimes to regulate his sugar levels with Type II diabetes especially since we were going for our morning walk.

Sugarfree chocolate Chocgoji, Dad.

This one's okay for you to have a few.

And me?

Dark chocolate.

All that goodness of the raw cacao beans.

And deliciously chewy goji berries.

I'm all ready to go now!

The perfect snack before our morning walk.

Doesn't melt easily either. 

It'd keep well till post walk. :)

The proof is in the pudding, I mean, packet.

Grab a pack today to try it for yourself.

Food for Thought @ Botanical Gardens

Life. Made simple.

What's on your table?

Everything looks like a treat. :)

But there was just us three.

Two orders of mee rebus.

No meat?

The sauce was good though.

Not overwhelmingly starchy.

Ample.

Savoury sweet.

Almond pesto chicken burger with fries.

The fries were fat and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside.

Best for sharing and maybe insufficient for that.

The chicken was generous, with a fillet and a half but mine were overfried.

I would've liked more pesto sauce.

A bit more crunchy greens and another juicy tomato slice maybe?

And then I could already be asking for an extra salad. :p

A happy place for brunch.

Love the high ceilings.

The huge tables.

Come on, share a table.

Or take a short wait for a private one.

The spacious walkways.

I'm hardly claustrophobic here.

Have a conversation.

No one's that close to hear you. :)

Everyone's in the same mood.

Relaxed. Laidback.

You're here because you are learning to

Rule 1. Savour every moment

That's an important life lesson hey.
