#10 Wheeler's Yard Review

Wheeler's Yard, located at 28 Lorong Ampas, is a bicycle garage and cafe. They can be easily recognised by the popular mandatory shot of their blue 'Wheeler's Yard' garage door by many instagrammers.

The cafe is just a ten minutes walk away from Balestier Plaza. In fact, for those of you studying at Curtin Singapore, the cafe is located opposite the campus, across a river.

I've seen many reviews online about Wheeler's Yard, some positive, some negative. Personally, I had a great experience there. The cafe wasn't too crowded and they have ample seats both indoor and outdoor.

I've decided to pick the outdoor seats because the indoor area was a little too cold.

The cafe serves All-day breakfast, Pasta, Mains, Pies and Burgers. Drinks wise, they have a wide variety for you to choose from, ranging from Beers to Coffee.

I ordered the Chicken Yard Burger ($13.90), served with french fries. To be honest, the burger was really well done. The chicken patty was juicy with every bite and together with the caramelised onions, they made a perfect combination. The buns were slightly toasted as well.

As there isn't any service charge, you will have to collect the food yourself when they are ready. Most importantly though, the wait for the food wasn't that long. In fact, they were ready in less than 20 minutes (perhaps it may be because I visited the cafe during dinner time on a weekday).

Nonetheless, I would say that the food and the atmosphere of the cafe itself were definitely worth the value.

I understand that the cafe used to close at 7pm in the past and they have recently extended their opening hours to 8pm. Last order is at 7.30pm though. Personally, I felt that it was still a little too early; perhaps the cafe could open till late night during Friday and Saturday?

Do also check out their Facebook page for any information in regards to their opening hours as they might be closed for some private events during certain days of the week. If not, you could ring them up to ask about the business hours.

#8 Creamier Review

Creamier is a handcrafted ice cream & coffee shop located under a HDB block in the housing estate of Braddell/Toa Payoh. If you are travelling to Creamier via public transport, the nearest MRT station would be Braddell and not Toa Payoh.

I arrived at the cafe at 3pm on a weekend afternoon and it was pretty crowded. As there was quite a limited amount of tables provided, you might have to grab a seat with someone else. 

The cafe serves a wide selection of ice cream ranging from common flavour like Cookies & Cream to special ones like Sea Salt Gula Melaka and Thai Milk Tea.

The Waffle with Ice Cream ($7.50) proved to be a great deal and you could always opt in for another additional scoop of ice cream for just $2.50.

I had an Earl Grey Lavender ice cream on top of the waffle and the ice cream was really flavourful. The Earl Grey left a smooth and lingering taste on my tongue and neither the Earl Grey or the Lavender was too overpowering in taste. 

The Belgian waffle was served in 2 pieces which makes the dish good for sharing. The waffle itself was quite well done. It has a buttery flavour and was crispy enough on the outside, but a pity that it was not very fluffy inside. However, no doubt it was still a great pairing with the ice cream as well as the maple syrup and chocolate sauce. 

All the ice cream from Creamier were handmade and if you are lucky enough, they have different seasonal and limited edition ice creams available occasionally!
