The Plain @ Craig Road | My 24th birthday!

Haven't had a proper food post in a long while! And I don't really have the time to cafe-hop recently :(

This was dinner @ The Plain 2 weeks ago:













Cafe Latte (S$4.20) - I really love their coffee! Especially the Cafe Mocha (S$4.70) I had before my friend came hehe.



Humpty Dumpty with Vegemite Soldiers (S$7.50) - dippy eggs with vegemite on buttered toast sticks. I didn't have a good experience with a similar dish at PARK cafe, but pictures of this look so good I had to try. The vegemite's reeeally salty but I quite like it, and the eggs are boiled so perfectly. I love dipping my toasts into eggs hehehe I always do that whenever I go to Ya-Kun etc:







Darling's Eggs (S$7.50) - poached egg with ham, cheese & roma tomatoes on sourdough toast:

Anywayyyyy it was my 24th birthday on 5th June! Didn't have an extravagant celebration or anything, or even a proper dinner on the actual day because I spent the night dancing :(

Had an advanced birthday dinner/treat from TVT @ My Awesome Cafe + I Am Cafe. Thanks for the macarons too!!:







Cafe Latte - coffee's so-so:



Croissant + Scrambled Eggs + Smoked Salmon (S$8.50) - they were out of croissants (siiigghhh) so we had bread instead which isn't comparable of course. Overall the taste isn't too bad, but presentation could be a lot better - this looks like something anyone can make at home for probably half the price:



Croissant + Scrambled Eggs + Ham & Cheese (S$8.50) - ditto the above... and the ham looks even more pathetic :(



It's really not as awesome as its name suggests :(

Fries with Cheese dip (~S$8) and Rainbow Cake (~$8) - love how the rainbow cake has cream cheese frosting instead of the usual whipped cream! And the cheese dip for the fries is really yummy too... but I'd still prefer it with shoestring fries:

At the stroke of midnight I received a call from Windy to look out of my bedroom window, and there he was cycling on a bike like a kid, with balloons hanging from the back hahaha. I've always wanted to have my own bicycle so he decided to get it for my birthday present!:



Erm, obviously not a very good cyclist hahaha:




A hasty dinner on the actual day with my family at Swensens @ JP before rushing off for rehearsals:





Kriss bought cakes for me and we celebrated after dance! Thank you all for staying back just for this!!:





Christabel treated me to lunch at Wimbly Lu for a belated birthday celebration :* My third time here and still loving all their desserts:





And finally, my #brunchdategirls surprised me at Spathe Public House last week, although the server kinda screwed the surprise up hahahah it's okay!! Can't wait for our Taiwan trip! :D









Thank you all! I had a wonderful birthday week, though I feel so guilty now because the amount of desserts I've eaten was craaaazy D:

In other news, my team (Timeless) will be competing in the Finals of TRDO Chapter 4 this evening 7pm @ Kallang Theatre! Head to down watch if you can!! Tickets are still on sale at S$20 :)

SELFISH GENE CAFE + MAYOR OF TINY TOWN + THE PLAIN CAFE

Last Wednesday's lunch (Part I) at Selfish Gene Cafe:













Iced green tea latte:



Our Breakfast Platter (S$15.80) with a really thick and juicy pork sausage, and I love the toast! It tastes like garlic bread:

Continued to Part II of our lunch at The Mayor of Tiny Town which was just around the corner. The exterior and interior of the cafe look really white, neat and tidy, but there isn't any signboard with its name. We would have missed it if not for the blackboard placed outside:





The staff there were really friendly and seemed really excited to promote their food haha:





Italian Minestrone soup (~S$5) - not too bad, but tastes just like the canned ABC/Alphabets soup you can find from supermarkets:



The MOTT Aglio Olio is a really huge disappointment :( The presentation looks really delicious but it tastes nothing like the usual aglio olios from everywhere. The pasta is too oily and hard in my opinion:







They serve food like fish & chips and chicken cutlet rice at an affordable and decent price, but I really won't recommend this place to those who are looking to satisfy their taste buds :(

Lunch Part III at The Plain Cafe, located a few shops down the Selfish Gene Cafe:







This wall menu is the only menu they have, which I think is really inconvenient (especially for short people like me who have to strain their necks to see) because it is located pretty high up:



My Generra mocha (S$5) which I loooove a lot! It's basically cafe mocha infused with a twist of orange. And being someone who really likes chocolates that contain orange essence in them, this drink is perfect for me:



Yuzu soda - the Yuzu taste is too strong and it isn't really to our liking :/ I don't think the fizz and the flavour go well together.





DAMN ACT AGAIN HAHAHA:



You can visit The Plain cafe for desserts like scones, and they have all-day breakfasts too! Too bad we were pretty full already haha.

Saw this sign at the shop beside which I find pretty hilarious:



Have a good week everyone! :)
