Kith Cafe
Kith Cafe is little cafe tucked away in a secluded corner of Robertson Quay. Sandwiched between a beauty salon and a laundromat, it is likely to be classified as a “hidden find” on popular Singaporean online food guide Hungrygowhere. With only two (albeit long) tables in the indoor seating area, it is indeed a tiny but cozy place to stumble upon while taking a walk in the vicinity. There is also an outdoors seating area where people can stretch their legs and bask in Singapore’s tropical air while indulging in the simple pleasures of life — good food and good company. Did we also mention the view? Kith Cafe is right by the river.
Being Singaporeans (and PR), we are drawn to air conditioning like a bee is drawn to honey. Inside it’s cool, but we feel right at home on the wooden benches and stools. Plates of pastries entice and delicious smells wafted in the air.
Brioche with Vanilla Yoghurt and Strawberries
The two thick slices of brioche came studded with candied fruit and raisins. It was also delightfully soft. It went excellently with cold butter and dipped in yogurt! Though it may have been a tad sweet, the vanilla yogurt complemented the tartness of the (generous) chunks of strawberries hidden beneath the murky cover. Healthy AND delicious!
Big Breakfast
For the national softballer player / wushu master / big eater is the big breakfast. With 2 slices of toast accompanied by a slab of butter and a dish of homemade strawberry jam on top of 2 rashes of bacon and a giant juicy sausage, flanked by a serving of scrambled eggs and grilled tomatoes, this dish is not for the diet conscious. The strawberry jam deserves a special mention: although not exactly jam-ish in texture, everything about it screams “HOMEMADE” and that’s what we like about it.
Bacon, Cheddar and Scrambled Eggs Toasties
For those with a smaller appetite, the toasties are the perfect choice. It is hard to resist lightly scrambled eggs, bacons and gooey cheddar pocketed within warm, fragrant wholemeal bread. The bread may seem like your typical wholemeal slice but it definitely had a non mass-baked fragrance to it. And those crusty corners, mmm….
Croque Monsieur
On first look, we were slightly disappointed as we were expecting the typical cheese-topped croque monsieur that looks somewhat like a cheese volcano just erupted. Nonetheless, this could make a pretty decent comfort breakfast with ham and cheddar between lightly toasted bread. Both the croque monsieur and toasties came with chopped green apples drizzled with honey. Such a simple yet ingenious breakfast side dish. C had a not-so-secret moment of sipping out all the honey ‘juices’ after gobbling up those fresh apples.
Watermelon Lychee Blend / Strawberry and Vanilla Yoghurt Milkshake
Both drinks were delightful. The watermelon lychee was refreshing; the strawberry and vanilla yogurt smooth and creamy without being overwhelming.
Drop by for brunch at Kith, it’s a wonderful place to catch up with old friends or simply watch the world pass by.
