Cafe Review on Rokeby

Dear Freaders*,

On a hot Sunday morning, I decide to visit Rokeby since Australian cafes is one of my heartthrobs.
I just love their casual setting and approachable ambience. :)

Rokeby is nestled in the neighbourhood of Jalan Riang (about 15 minutes walk from Serangoon MRT station).

Observation - Even their signboard is made of wood. I love wood (with the right colour and finishing) because it just gives me a warm, cosy and soothing poke in my heart. Aww ^^)

Look at the amicable and lovable staff smiling at my camera. :)

In love with their furniture & decor -

Lights, shelves, tables, chairs, cute beer bottles, coffee cups, signages

"There Will Be No Working During Drinking Hours" -
Makes SO MUCH sense in the hustle and bustle of city life

Magazines of various genres to entertain the guests ^^

Aussie 2-Way Waffles (Review: 4/5) - 

Your tongue (and mind) will thank you for the bursts of flavours. This is pure indulgence!

Savoury waffles with sauteed granny smith apples and orange zest syrup on the side (infused with some bourbon & maple syrup I believe) and a perfectly cooked sausage.

For me, these soft, fluffy waffles (with a slightly crispy outlayer) are a true WINNER! 

The crunchy onions and smoky bacon are the surprise elements
in this delectable treat that gives you the perfect mouthfeel!
The infused savoury cheese flavour will also swim around in your mouth.

(I wish they can add a small block of butter in this dish - it will give it a slightly
oily and buttery coat on your tongue)

Eggs Blackstone (Review: 5/5) -

Smoky streaky bacons, perfectly poached eggs, tomato, wild rocket, creamy hollandaise sauce on a soft brioche toast.

This is this best brioche toast that I have ever eaten!

Flat White (2.5/5) & Long Black -

Notable acidic note, creamy texture, goes perfectly well with the crunchy almond biscuit.

The coffee aroma starts to stir up in my mouth after

 a couple of sips.

Home-made Tiramisu with Bailey's Irish Cream (Review: 4/5) -

Super soft, creamy, wet and a moderate amount of Bailey's makes this Tiramisu a memorable one.

And, don't forget to leave your feedback on Rokeby's webpage to enjoy a complimentary

artisan coffee! :))

I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone who loves Australian cafe or an unforgettable Brunch experience. ^^

Cheers~

Strive on, Freaders ^ ^

Dear Freaders*,

I just wrote something.. :)

"The path you're walking is now shifting,
The sights you're seeing is now blurring,
As the sun above is slowly setting,
The darkness is rapidly creeping.

I know you wanna cry & say bye,
When life leaves you high & dry,
But hold on & look to the sky,
Everything's gonna be alright."

What I am trying to say is be strong, stay true and be happy always. Look at all challenges in life as opportunities. Strive on.  ^^

I love to write!!

Dear Freaders*,

This is for all who needs an emotional boost ^^

I integrated something that I'd written with a picture that I'd taken, Cheers:

You'll be Alright

Dear Freaders, :))

I wrote something motivational, in the slightest hope that it might bring light to any one who needs it. No one is forever powerful or powerless... Sometime you will feel down... But it's totally okay.. In no time, I believe you'll be alright... Pls feel free to leave your comments if you're still upset..

So, here it is...

Title: You'll be Alright

Just remember his face when you're afraid,
He'll show you hope when all has been raided.
He'll give you light when you're about to sway.
Just hold on tight when everything is in a fray.
In all these crazy array of shades....

Just close your eyes,
The stars are shining bright.
You'll be alright,
He is the shining knight.
At the first light,
Your spirit will be ignited.

Stand tall, pray even when you're facing the blade,
Take pride, breathe in and let your heart be staid.
Don't fall, cling to your beliefs.
Don't cry, soon you'll be relieved,
relieved....

Just close your eyes,
The moon is shining bright.
You'll be alright,
He is the shining knight.
At the first light,
Your spirit will be ignited.

Cheers :))))
