Stateland Cafe

Stateland cafe has been raved for its top waffles to try in Singapore, and after the wonderful brunch (for me) at Group Therapy in Katong V, we came here to try the Waffles.


It was around 1pm by the time we reached there, Stateland Cafe is expanding, and we went to the other side to seat, therefore the little people, while the other side it is bustling with people (As usual isn't it)?

Being pretty full, I ordered just a normal Belgium Waffles with Ice cream on top. Meh, the Waffles is really crispy, but didn't had much of the fluffiness taste when biting down the Waffles. Didn't think it was worth the rave.

My friend ordered Black Forest, which also he think the Waffles was pretty 'burnt'. Maybe that's the way the cafe do their Waffles, but nah. Not going to come back again.


On a side note, my second cup of Cappuccino tasted really nice. It was more of a latte then a Cappuccino, I can taste the milk more then the espresso taste, but it was good overall.

Group Therapy in Katong V


It was a Monday morning, so we decided to give the newly opened Group Therapy branch at Katong V a try!


For all those that wonder where is the location, this is just opposite Katong Shopping Center, it is a newly opened shopping mall! Though it is really pretty small.


 We arrived the place at around 11am. Despite raining outside, the cafe itself still seems pretty packed. It was lucky that we managed to grab a seat before the place went full!

I ordered Cappuccino. The taste of the cappuccino was a bit bitter, I think they roasted their beans a bit too much that day. 


Hotcakes with strawberries and bananas, it was commented that the hotcakes are pretty average, nothing special about it.


I ordered my favourite eggs benedict. I really like how the way they serve their eggs benedict with such generous serving of Hollandaise sauce and many slices of fresh salmon. They didn't had muffin that day, so I opted for brioche. The combo was so fantabulous, I really really enjoyed the meal! It was so good I definitely don't mind coming back again for the eggs benedict. 

One thumbs up: Waitresses there are really pretty and very attentive to what you need!

Laurent Cafe & Chocolate Bar

Along Robinson Quay, this small cafe has not only a relaxing outdoor atmostphere, but a cozy inside as well.


The outside seating



This place is more crowded in the night then it is in the afternoon, so I would say going there earlier would be a wiser choice, if not waiting for a seat would be quite tedious.

Cheese Cake
 I had 3 of their creations from the counter, one was the cheese cake which was creamy and thick as to how I love my cheese cake to be. although the raspberry sauce is looks like it is only a design for the plating, it does go well with the cheese cake for some extra flavors to it.




Next, I had the Tiramisu, which was pretty decent. In my opinion, there was not much of a wow factor in it, so I would not have that again if I were to go down there. Though the coffee flavor do kick in at the back of your tongue.



Last but not least, I had their chocolate cake, forgot the name for this lovely product, it was delicious.
The thickness of the chocolate, and the bittersweet taste was just delicious. It is made up of two different layers which makes up four layers of cake and chocolate. They are really serious when it comes to chocolate products, I was ashamed for not getting more of their other chocolate products and I would go down again just for their chocolate cakes.

I was told that they have great chocolate souffles, such a shame that they ran out of it when I went there, so should I go down again, hopefully they will have it.

They have a few branch however the one that I visited was at Robinson Quay
