BREAD AND CIRCUS WHOLEFOODS CANTEEN

WHERE: 21 Fountain Street Alexandria.

I am a person who falls for pretty looking things. I have seen instagrammers post the infamous fruit platter so many times on my feed.  Colourful and appealing, just like the cafe itself. I have visited Bread and Circus before but only ordered coffee, but was not aware that instead it was Don Campos. Another cafe in front of Bread and Circus. 

As we arrived we had a look at the lunch menu as we waited in the queue. Seeing that it was quite busy, I always like to browse through the menu and decide what I am planning to get just as we get seated. Most tables were shared and we chose to sit next to a window for optimal lighting. We were told that the servings were quite big, but I still wanted to add on the fruit platter just because…. you got to do it for the gram!  

The dishes did not take much time to cook and we didn't wait too long. The salads were very tasty and refreshing. I believe it was the slaw (radish, carrot.) After finishing, we were commenting on how much we would love to take our mothers to eat at B&C, as they have a love for fruits and fresh produce. The only difference between mine and Justins meal was the leg lamb and biodynamic egg frittata. We both just wished we got more of the salad, because it was just so good. 

Definitely would come back and try the breakfast menu.

NEKO NO NIWA SINGAPORE CAT CAFE

WHERE: 54A Boat Quay (Level 2) Singapore 049843

Another rainy day in Singapore like it is today, in Sydney. 

Found out about this cat cafe through a review on Youtube. I heard there was a cat cafe in Sydney, but wasn't too sure about its whereabouts. Thought it would be a good idea to go to a cat cafe while we were in Singapore. We didn't have an umbrella that day and was running under restaurant shelter by shelter to look for the cat cafe. 

Managed to find it at Boat Quay structured narrowly between restaurants. Upon arrival, you are instructed to wash your hands and take off your shoes. Most cats were asleep and resting by 4pm so it was best to come during the mornings. It costs $12/ hour to play with the cats and extra $5 for the next hour after. It was definitely therapeutic and most cats would slowly creep besides you if you sit still. Luckily I managed to have a cat sit on my lap with the help of one of the friendly lady that works there.  Kai Kai was purring so hard and he looked like he was enjoying life. 

There wasn't many cats awake at this time. You are greeted with a menu of all the rules, such as flash photography not being allowed. Hot drinks can be taken in whilst playing with the cats inside the room. 

Just like all other animals and humans, cats have their own set of personalities. It was nice to see different sets of individual cats in one room and be told of their different traits. 

Much love J and C
