And Why - Hipster New York Themed Halal Restaurant at Bali Lane

 Mariem and I didn't get to try And Why on our last cafe-hopping expedition (where we checked out Krave, All In, Le Kue and BetterField) so we decided to have our pre-Christmas celebration at And Why. 

 
And Why is the newest addiction run by the same people behind All In and I Am. All In is a charming little halal takeaway counter selling freshly-baked pastries, coffee and cold-pressed juices while I Am is an halal restaurant modeled after Amsterdam.  
 
 
 
And Why is a New York themed halal restaurant restaurant that serves freshly-brewed coffee, freshly-baked pastries, gourmet sandwiches, exquisite mains and desserts. And Why is a halal restaurant so there are no alcoholic drinks but the restaurant has come up with hand-crafted adaptations of well-known cocktails. 
 
 
Exotic Elders is a refreshing drink made of pink grapefruit base, infused with Elderflower and finished with a dash of soda. The drink is served with an assortment of edible flowers, I believe the small white ones are elderflowers.
 
 
Made by fusing watermelon base with Lussory white and served with a dash of lemonade, Mademoiselle is the perfect ladies' drink. 

 

 
Red Sangria is an adaptation of the original Spanish drink. Lussory red is mixed with lemonade, fruits and spices to make this non-alcoholic version of Sangria. 

 

 
Lobster Thermidor is And Why's signature dish. Whole lobster grilled with cheese, served with thermidor sauce and grilled vegetables. It is a very healthy meal but they may want to work on the taste a little because it is a tad bland. 

 

 
I personally feel that And Why's Panna Cotta, an Italian desert of cooked cream and vanilla pod served with mixed berries, is too soft. 
 
 
The food may not be quite up to standard yet but the warm hospitality of the staff and hipster-cool ambiance of this charming cafe will make you want to come back again and again if only for a glass of their delicious mocktail after work.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
