When we reached, I realised that the place was nicely decorated and the shop space was of an adequate size ie. not too big such that customers will feel overwhelmed by the crowds. We sat down and was about to look through the menu when we were informed that there was a tertiary students special.
The special included soup of the day, a main course, choice of ice cream for dessert and a free mocktail. All this for only 25.90 If you top up 3.50, you will be able to upgrade to their house specialty desserts which was what we did. Apart from that, if you spend more than 50 bucks on the ala carte menu, you'll get an additional 10% discount. Haha quite a good deal which gave us a better start to the evening.
In the end, 2 of my friends ordered the set, whilst my friend and I ordered the beer battered fish from the ala carte menu. We also had brownies with ice cream and their house specialty earl grey panna. Not to forget mango lime cheesecake for our dear birthday girl. :)
The food was good and of a rather affordable price and the staff there were also very friendly (took a photo for us and even held the door open for every customer who left the shop). We had a really good time there and would definitely go back. :)

When we reached there, it was already bustling with activity and people. Thankfully there was still sofa seats available by the window. ha i personally don't really like to sit at tables in the middle of the cafe, which will be noisier. Sofa seats have more privacy and will be easier to chat with your besties.
Anyway, we ordered the signature toast with peanut butter and condensed milk, dry wanton noodles, zha jiang mian, some seafood rice porridge, desserts and milk tea. The food was served rather quickly, didn't really have to wait.
My dry wanton noodles were quite good, though the wantons served were fried instead of the usual boiled wans but was good too. the char siew given was also adequate. haha one thing to note. the vegetables served here are in thick stalks! haha but they are crunchy so can just bite into them. haha no worries :)
my friend's zha jiang mian was not really the traditional type though. it was just noodles with some meat sauce on top? i dunno but not like the usual wans that we eat but i think it was ok too. The rice porridge had quite alot of ingredients in it and it came in a BIG bowl. very filling.
Toast i think i don't have to elaborate cos it's a signature dish at most HK cafes. haha and the surprise is the desserts come in super big portions! 1 bowl of soya beancurd i think was enough to fill 3 people? haha and the bowl of mango pudding was also huge. hahaha value for money and was quite delicious too. yup so if you all wanna try, be careful don't order too much dessert. haha :)

2 days ago, I went there again. This time with a group of friends. When we reached there, we were assigned 2 tables on the upper level maybe because our group was too big? (10 people). But in the end we merged into 1 table so we could have better bonding. haha. As it was a public holiday, we could not enjoy priveleges like ladies night etc. so we ordered a deluxe package (for 6) and standard package (for 4). The packages included 2 hours gaming time and drinks for all with a party platter and a side dish of our choice. (we chose chicken wings) and then we started playing.
The games as usual included unique card games and board games good for bonding and interaction. No worries if you don't know the games cos the staff there are friendly and they'll explain the games to you.
I would recommend this place for large groups of friends cos you would be able to try the games suited for more people, and of course it'll be a more happening and louder affair. haha. However, unless you order the main courses, it'll be best to grab a bite before you go there. If not you might be left hungry after sharing the platter within the big group :p An alternative is having supper together after the gaming session, like what we did. heh.
On the whole, I think it's quite a good place to chill out with friends, but it's almost always fully booked so remember to reserve seats first!

So when I came back to Singapore, I really missed this daily treat alot. Then I heard about this donut craze here in singapore too, DONUT FACTORY! but everytime I walked past the outlet in Raffles City, the queue was so long that I did not feel like waiting. So never had the chance to taste the donuts.
Until this outlet at Suntec! I was randomly shopping around at Suntec when I realised that people were carrying boxes of donuts walking around! So my friend and I decided to go take a look. Lo and behold, there was an outlet there and the queue was not long at all. It took perhaps only about 10 minutes to get to the counter and the staff was very efficient.
At first I was still worried that I would not be able to buy the hot favourite flavours that I've long heard about. But it turned out that the donuts were stocked up very fast with like up to 6 staff baking in the kitchen! In the end I bought a box of a dozen donuts. 4 double chocs, 2 peanut dark choc, Lotus Mocha, Spicy Cheese, mint choc and I can't remember what else as I just asked the staff to give me 1 each of the remaining flavours. haha but I can say that they were all soft and fluffy, fresh and delicious donuts! i particularly liked the double choc where the choc inside oozes out when you bite into it. and the spicy cheese which gave a really different feel to the donut, especially for cheese lovers like me!
Finally a chance to satisfy my donut craving and I can say it's almost as good as Krispy Kreme. Not to mention that you can get them quite fast. Think the staff is rather efficient, only that the cashier is quite slow. Heh. But overall, I had quite a good experience there. Next time I go, I'll probably go try out those stuff on the menu. Looking foward to the donut set meals =)

Initially I was at AMK Hub for a movie. After the movie, we were walking around the shopping centre, doing some window shopping at the same time. It was then that we realised that a crowd was gathering outside this cafe that was situated at the middle aisle of the level, in between the two rows of shops.
On a closer look, we realised that it was Ah Mei Cafe. By it's name, we thought that it served only chinese food, however when we looked at the menu, we realised that it sold malay and indian food like nasi bryani and roti prata. Apart from these food, a large variety of drinks commonly sold at the coffeeshop were also sold there.
Looking at the crowds, we decided to try it out. But in the end, we had to wait for about half an hour before we got a seat. For your information, there were only about 10 tables surrounding the cafe, seating maybe a maximum of 30 plus people at one time. So we actually only got a table of 4 after standing and waiting beside people who were still eating. That was in fact a little embarrassing because it felt like we were hurrying them. However, everybody there seemed to be aware of the limited spaces so we did not have to wait even longer. We were really thankful when we finally got the seats.
When we settled down, we ordered food - pratas ( plain and egg) and nasi bryani (chicken) and drinks - teh o, iced mocha, kopi o and teh susu. The nasi bryani and drinks could be collected upon ordering and the portion was rather big, with a jumbo leg included. However we had to wait for the pratas but the aunties at the stall were very nice and so made our wait easier. The stall also had an automated queue signboard, so you could go back to your table first and not loiter around the area waiting.
The pratas were large however the flour was rather thick so there was less crisp and fluff, as compared to the other pratas I've eaten. However it was still of acceptable standard as I finished 3 of them at one sitting. Not forgetting the price that I paid for them ($1.60 for 2 pratas), it was still worthwhile.
On the whole, we had a filling and inexpensive dinner. Although it would have been much better if there was more seating, so that people would be able to sit around longer and have chats without feeling rushed or embarrassed.
