Little Prince Creamery Cafe

Another cafe up at Toa Payoh area, I can see more are on the way. This is the latest I found which is near the block that I am staying. Probably less than 10mins walk. Good news for me especially I like the waffles texture. Do keep up for the standard.

The decoration is great, although I am not the fan for Little Prince, but I still like the cafe's design. The owner for this creamery cafe is the same as the one who owned The Little Prince Cafe 小王子咖啡座. I never been there but I saw some online pictures, they have the same design.

The main stuff that is selling here is waffles and ice cream.  You may see on the blackboard for the menu and the price of waffles and ice cream.  I did twice visiting in 3 days with different group of friends.

First try I got their Noir with Waffle($7.4). Noir is premium ice cream so it costed more. I am not a chocolate lover but I like the bitterness of this ice cream and most importantly it is not sweet.  The lady boss said this is a very very dark chocolate version. The waffles is crispy outside and soft inside.  This is the way of waffle I like.

2nd visit I tried the Ham and Cheese Waffles($7.9) and Thai Milk Tea with waffle. Both tasted quite good especially the savoury waffle. One disappointed stuff is they used sliced cheese instead of adding the cheese to the waffles batter. I feel that might taste better. I myself never try that but after seeing this version, I am going to try out myself.

Nevertheless,  this is so far a good place to hang out and I can see myself returning if I have any craving.  The good to have a good cafe nearby.

Niche Boulangerie

New cafe at Toa Payoh neighbourhood. It is opened by 2 partners. When I visited the cafe's facebook, I found that they actually started their business in Year 2012 but not sure where is the location. 

I visited the cafe for my dinner and I just pick up my choices from the counter. Not too sure if they have a proper menu but I did see the big menu on the wall.


Niche Banana Nutella & walnut muffins($2.5). I love banana flavour dessert. There are some samplings of pastry you can try and we did that before we ordered. This tasted very good with soft texture and smell really good. I asked the owner do they add any essences and they said they don't. It is not from premix, no artificial flavours or essences. Just kilos of fresh bananas for each recipe.


Croque Monsier($6.9) - sandwiches stuffed with ham and button mushroom and baked with gruyere cheese. I love cheese but do not know much type of cheese as I always go for the popular one. Something new I learn. It is simple sandwiches( I think you can do the same at home) but tasted good for me. The green is just simple salad vegetables with Japan toasted sesame sauce.


We was indecisive of what drink to order so we asked the boss to introduced their best drink. He introduced some tea selection with some interesting name, We choose Peace Of Mind($6.8). It comes in pot and you can share with your friend. I can't recall the ingredients for this but you can see on their menu board. Do I have peace of mind? That is very subjective but the tea is nice.

Hong Yun Seafood

Birthday celebration for the month of July. Hong Yun is famous for its white beehun. There is one local variety show talked about this beehun so friend suggested here. I had been to here when I stayed nearby and that is because I somehow read from somewhere that the beehun is really nice. Overall, the experience of dining here is good in the newly renovated air conditioned space. It extended their business to the 3 stalls besides it.

Lorong 8 Toa Payoh Block 210 Market And Food Centre

Lorong 8 TPY food center have variety kind of choices if you want to have your 3 meals here. 

Selegie Soya Bean - my friend said this is the best she had at the market and she likes it a lot because of the smooth texture. I used to have Bean Curd($1.1) here if I passed by. I did tried their Glass Jelly with Sea Cocunut($1.7) tasted quite good, but very sweet for me. Next time will request for less sugar syrup.



New Eastern Kim Tee Dried Pork - the stall normally very busy during the CNY period and I happened to felt like want to try the dried pork so I bought 100g for own consumption. The business quite good, it tasted not bad. However, I felt it is a bit hard for me, I like softer version.


Yong Toufu - Located at the corner that consider near at the washroom, of course no smell. The Yong Tofu is quite nice and the boss said they handmade the fish ball. I like it overall.



Hai Nam Street Old Coffee - traditional taste of coffee and toast. Hawker price with quite good quality.


Seletar Sheng Mian.Mee Hoon Kway 实里达生面·面粉粿 - I never fail to see a queue for this stall. Finally one day, my friend said let's go and try, I have mood to queue up. Oh great! The queue is about 30min and we had the original Mee Hoon Kway. While waiting, I met a couple who shared the table with us, they actually had visited the stall since young(around 20+ years?). The stall used to be at Seletar and now moved to TPY and AMK. I like the noodles, tasted good. The noodles are hand made.

Kkongdon BBQ

We were here to celebrate a friend's birthday. She wanted to have spicy food and I was thinking what to have near our place. I found this while I was goggling for the choice. The restaurant offers set menu for BBQ option and the side dish of all sorts of unlimited kimchi you can see below is included in your order. However, you won't be able to have much as they are all quite salty if you have too much, so don't waste the food by getting a lot.

Our BBQ set dinner for 2 comes with a bean soup(tasted good) and topokki which originally we felt not enough for 4 of us, so we added Samgetang Ginseng Chicken($18++). The amount of food was actually more than enough for us as it comes with rice and it is quite filling. The ginseng chicken was nice tough so was a good try for us.
