Café Review - d'Good Café

Here's my second food review - d'Good Café. I've been to d'Good twice and my experiences there were great! So, on to my first time with Yi Ting and Rong Jeun!
I ordered Eggs Benedict ($13.50) and just needed to top up $3.50 for a Cafe Latte. Yi Ting ordered the Fresh Sea Prawn Arrabiata ($16) and Rong Jeun had the Chicken Tikka Masala ($12). They provided The U Press too so you can just grab one and read! (:

 We went on a Saturday so we had to wait around 45 minutes for our dishes. I've seen really nice photos of their latte art but they were probably really busy hence we didn't get a nice one! :(
Their Eggs Benedict which I had was really really good! The bread was extremely crispy, yolk of the poached eggs oozed out when I cut them and homemade hollandaise sauce made the dish even better!
What I heard from Yi Ting and Rong Jeun was that their Chicken Tikka Masala and Fresh Sea Prawn Arribiata were pretty decent too!


Next, on to my second round with Melissa and Vanessa in celebration of Melissa's birthday!
At d'Good, if it is your birthday (it must be on the exact day of your birthday), you just have to pay the price of a large frappe ($8) and you'll get a Jumbo Frappe (3 LITERS!!) So, we brought Melissa there and gave her a surprise when we presented her the 3-litre Chocolate Chip Cream Frappe to her although it was kinda awkward that everyone looked at us when we took the Jumbo Frappe to the third level! x_x

Also, we ordered their signature cake - Maple Sea Salt Cheesecake ($9). It really had a unique taste, different from cheesecakes I've tasted!

At 2PM-6PM on weekdays, they're having a promotion which offers you a cake (Cheesecake Brownie, Earl Grey and Matcha only) and one drink for only $6.50! We ordered the Cheesecake Brownie (Which wasn't up to expectations) and Café Latte! We also ordered a Hawaiian Pizza and like FINALLY, I've got a pretty picture of a pizza ! :b

Check out some photos of my second trip there! (:

Look at how huge the JUMBO frappe was?

Just a random photo of us!
All we've ordered but we were really full from these! (Probably because of the Jumbo Frappe!)
We sat at the open-space area!


Polaroids with our  Jumbo Latte! (:

 Well, so d'Good Café seems like a pretty nice place for a hangout session with the promotion from 2PM-6PM, ain't it? If your birthday is near, do remember to celebrate it at d'Good for the 3-litre jumbo frappe! Choices of the Jumbo Frappe are: Espresso, Caramel, Mocha, Chocolate Cream, Chocolate Chip Cream, Caramel Cream, Vanilla Cream and Green Tea Cream! The Maple Sea Salt Cheesecake and Eggs Benedict is something one shouldn't miss out on too!

USS with Melissa !

So Melissa and I went to the Magnum Pop-up Store at Vivocity some time back in December and had a DIY Magnum ($7)! Yes, this is a very late post! :X
We got to choose our choice of coating, three toppings and a chocolate to be drizzled over the Magnum! For me, I chose the White Chocolate coating and for the toppings - Rose Petals (exotic), Chocolate Balls and Almond Flakes drizzled with Dark Chocolate! Here is a photo of how it looks like! (:


Then, we headed on to Universal Studios Singapore since our seasonal passes were expiring! :X
Took some random photos in the middle of nowhere ehehe! :b






Time for lunch! We went out of Universal Studios Singapore and here's a photo of us on the escalator!

Guess where we headed for lunch? Although I'm absolutely NOT a fan of Thai food, we decided to try Bali Thai and the Pad Thai was to my liking! We had a Chendol too!
Chicken Cutlet Pad Thai!

Sadly, the Human and Cylon were closed for a period of time and won't be ready to visitors that soon! :(




Totally loving this image! 


What you need to get before leaving USS? DEFINETLY THEIR CHURROS! USS' Churros is one of the best! x)
Bumped into Zi Fang on my way home and here's a photo snapped! (:

I've been to Universal Studios Singapore several times in 2013 as I had the seasonal pass! Well, guess not so often now since I didn't renew it! (Also, it's a little boring if you keep going to the same place and ride the rides too many times!)
