Ace and i continued our food hunt at Tanjong Pagar last week and got my model Elaine to join us for lunch since she was interning near the area =D Yay to more lunch buddies!
E suggested Selfish Gene cafe, 40 Craig Road so we went ahead with it since i have heard friends talking this brunch outlet but never gotten the chance to try.
Seated at Table 31 with this cute yellow daisy on the table. I love this place already. haha.
I love my coffee but i get dehydrated very easily so i always like the idea of cafes with self service counters to provide water for those who need it. A simple gesture but a much-appreciated one, in my opinion.
As usual, click on the menu for a much clearer look at what's available ;)
Tempted by the Iced Chocolate A ordered so i got myself one too!! I skipped the cream for a "heathier" choice (who am i kidding right? hahaha)
Since i already had a heavy breakfast at home, i opted for the Banana Cake from the "Sweet" section of the menu. A mini loaf of banana cake was quickly served, with peanut butter sauce drizzled on top and real banana slices as toppings. Omg, can i just say this is one of the best banana cakes i have EVER tasted? The warm banana cake was baked to perfection with just the right amount of moist and fluffiness. The peanut butter sauce was like the icing on the cake, giving this dessert dish a slight savory taste and bringing this dish to a whole new level of awesomeness. THUMBS UP.
Since we didn't know what to order from their breakfast menu, E and A ordered based on the food items that are most commonly seen on Instagram when people patronise Self Gene. Creative eh?
The Valerie for E
Homemade berry compote and cream cheese on toasted brioche sounded like the perfect brunch for E but it turned out to be too creamy for her and she said on the overall, the dish was pretty much...meh =/
Breakfast Plate for A
Being another scrambled egg lover, A chose the breakfast plate in hope to fill her growling tummy that day. While it was served with a good serving of everything a good western breakfast should have (sauteed mushrooms, eggs, ham, sausage, toast and cherry tomatoes), it was mediocre in taste and was just not good enough to impress any one of us that day.
A self-taken group pic of us! Let me explain this pic:
From left to right - Small face, well-hidden small face, "i have a big face and i am not hiding" face. HAHAHA.
My OOTD that afternoon after a happy brunch session:

Alright, time to go back to planning for my work trip. Until next time guys!!
