Professor Brawn Cafe - Social Enterprise with a good cause!

What a relaxing yet abnormal Friday afternoon it is, It had never been like this because we ended class very very early! So i headed down to velocity to get some stuffs for the Sundown Marathon tml!
Anyway had my lunch there. Set myself down at Professor Brawn Cafe after making my rounds there.
Remember we take our the GSM in Yr 1 Sem 1? Yes, Social Enterprise! Today had my chance to visit of this SE.Well gotta admit that I love the spirit of social enterprising =)


Professor Brawn Cafe's interior



I love the concept of the restaurant. It's really give you a college feeling(not singapore though and the colours of the interior are fabulous, colourful and make someone feel happy too.



Menu, in a form of mini ring file. It's a very interesting and neat idea. I hate how those restarant using oversize menu.



Menu's preface? haha!/




Soup of the day- mushroom soup! I guess i must count myself lucky bacause I'm madly in love with mushrooms! Yea, this is not those normal overwhelming with butter or flour taste's soup, It grabs the proportion really well, won't make you feel sick after a few mouthful.



Grilled chicken with truffle sauce.It comes with wild salad with a hinge of salty and sourish taste. Good appetiser. The chicken comes with a big portion of wedges as well. The truffel sauce is a new experience for my tastebud. I can't forget the chicken because of the grilling and make the skin rather crispy, simply close to perfection!


This shop is located at Velocity(Novena Square). There are set lunch, high tea and dinner available. Add $1.00 to enjoy the SOTD and house drink(oh my... what a deal right?) So hurry down to support them! Eat for a good cause! I know it's never easy to run a Social Enterprise!

Breeks Dinner!

Work was rather relaxing yesterday as I don't need to run like a mad dog in the restaurant. I'm able to take my own sweet time to serve the customer hehe. After work, i headed down to Singapore Expo to collet my Sundown's race pack. Meet up with Chee How who's accompany there. I saw my relatives who was there to collect their racepack. After collection, we visited to the Robinson's Sales which was just next door. It was fun! Because we kept testing the samples there haha. And ended up buying some tibits and a container for my mother. Saw a campmate there too. At around 7plus or 8, we left and head towards Changi Airport. It was qutie sometimes since I went there, i think it's like 2yrs(when i was still in BMT). We wanted to dine there but most of the restaurants there are having great business. So we just decided to dine at Breeks!


Their ice water in a tiny small Blue cup! Nice colour but too small



Caesar's Salad with chicken strips.They are rather stingy on the ingregedient and without the cheese usually found in the salad. The sauce was not sufficient so i requested for another portion. What i like most is the chicken. It was crispy and flavoured. But overall, the salad was rather disappointing




My main course! Ribeyes with double snail sausauges. I requested for a medium rare for my ribeyes but i got a medium well. It's like the toughest meat i ever got. The coleslaw is a bit to the sour side but still acceptable but the vegetables under the colesaw spoil the whole taste. The corn looks over cooked but is sweet. Lastly the sausages are cheezy!Opps forget to mention about the black pepper sauce! It's really a thumbs up, spicy enough and not with a manageable black pepper taste.





Okay...This Chee How's main course. Ribeyes with cajun fish? I guess it similarly upsetting.



We still got a 9" Hawaiian Pizza! forget to take the pic as i rushed to eat when it was served. The don't like the pizza because it smelled with the green and red pepper. It overcome all the flavourings on it.

Overall, I guess i won't be going back the restaurant second time. The food is not up to my standard and not to say the service was not really good as i have to request many times to refill the ice water. But i won't blame them as their staffs are friendly just that it was busy at that time.
