EatPlayLove Cafe @ Aliwal Street

Date Patronised: 28th Feb'14

No. of pax: 2+1

Spent: S$31 (inclusive of S$5 for off-peak craft for the kiddo)

I've known about the cafe during their soft launch as it's owner is a friend of my good friend. But I've not been there since I seldom get to that area.

It was a brilliant opportunity as we intended to bring our son to the Children Toy Museum at Kampung Glam, it was not opened yet, so we thought of yumcha when I realised we were very near the cafe.

And so we popped by twice. Yup, twice!

First time, it was not opened yet. Ops.. it's open at 12 to 10 pm daily. We were 15mins away from 12pm.. Zzzzz...

Second time, you guessed it, we were the first customer!

It's located at Aliwal Street, at Aliwal Arts Centre

I really like the cafe

With many small little things that make you feel cosy, really

It was empty at first, but flooded with customers when we finished our lunch

Somehow feel the personal touch

Kiddo was given a tag - probably to indicate we have paid for the art & craft corner

Included in the small fee

This too!

The stools at the kiddie corner with 3D carving.. 

Kiddo engrossed at work, although he produced none.
Thought it would probably be better if there were more kiddos around.
Inspiration has to come from somewhere!

Chicken Soup Macaroni With Veggie for kiddo - Set at S$6.50
Comes with Yakult

Baked Mushroom Rice for him

Chicken Chop for me!

There were a few surprises:
1) The space - I've thought it was a small cafe, I was surprised it was very spacious, as you can see above..
2) The food #1 - I was surprised to have some decent meals
3) The food #2 - and was even more surprised the food was yummylicious!
3) The price - set lunch at S$9.90 (a main and choice of ice lemon tea/coke/sprite/coffee/tea)

We think it was a great deal. Great place to hang out, yumcha while the kiddo busy away.

Best part, hubby said we can go again, which is rare, trust me!

The fee for the art & craft corner:
S$5 for first 2 hours on weekdays
S$5 for first hour on weekends, PH and school holiday
**Subsequent 30mins at S$2.50
