Post-Workout Treat - Brunch and Gelato at Lavender Street

#cafestory On a rare Sunday morning, we decided to make the most of our early start with a workout session. After exercising, we ventured into the Lavender neighborhood to explore its brunch offerings. 1. Chye Seng Huat Hardware Lavender is known for its vibrant cafe scene, stretching from Horne to Hamilton Road. This time, we visited Chye Seng Huat Hardware Cafe on Tyrwhitt Road, an establishment that has been a staple since 2012. It's impressive that it has remained popular despite the growing competition in the area. Arriving before noon, we found the cafe bustling with activity, and we were only able to secure an outdoor table. The aroma from the nearby coffee roasting building was irresistible, filling the air with a delightful, rich scent. The cafe's enduring popularity is evident; its appeal remains strong even a decade later. The menu offers a diverse selection of brunch and lunch options, accompanied by an impressive array of coffee beans. We sampled the eggs benedict, vegetarian pumpkin and mushroom sourdough, and wraps. The quality and flavour of the dishes seemed to have elevated over the years, with more innovative and refined offerings. Our overall dining experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

Eager to try something new, I opted for flavours I hadn't experienced before. I chose watermelon mint and blue pea chrysanthemum chocolate chip. While the watermelon mint was refreshing, its sharpness might not be for everyone, given the bold combination of flavours.
