HELLO :) How's the week been for you lovely people? I just came back from an impromtu trip to Sentosa and boy was it hot! Rode the skyride and the ludge. It was pretty fun ^^ hahahas, this week has been well spent!

May&FJ visited the Habitat Coffee awhile back to celebrate Joey's birthday^^ We thought we'd share a little about Habitat Coffee with you peeps for we absolutely love this darling little cafe.

We bought 2 Take Shitake Pasta ($12/each), 4 Cheesynara Pasta ($16/each), 1 Something Fishy Pasta ($14), 1 Ocean Linguine ($16), 1 Cappuccino Regular ($4.90), 1 Truffle fries ($8), 1 House-made Churros ($9), 1 Tiramisu and 1 Black Velvet Cake. I think we can safely say that the 8 us spent close to $150 that day.We have included the menu below, prices of cakes are not included.

Take Shitake Pasta:

• They give you very generous amounts of juicy mushrooms.
• The mushrooms were very well cooked and tasted great.
• Black pepper was added into the pasta to give it more flavour.
• Amount of olive oil included was reasonable.
• This is one that I would personally recommend.

Cheesynara Pasta:

• There was generous servings of cheese sausages. The sausages were oozing with melted cheesy goodness.
• Bacon included in the pasta was not too salty.
• The cream sauce won't make you feel soooo sick of it after eating a couple of mouthfuls.
• Portion of dish was sufficient.

Something Fishy Pasta:

• It is essentially tuna pasta.
• The black pepper gave extra flavour to the pasta.
• Overall not a bad dish, but we felt it's a dish that can be easily made without much of a hassle at home. $14 is a tat too expensive for it.

Ocean Linguine:

• Comes with 5 fresh looking prawns and 2 mussels.
• My friend only had one thing to say about this: "Not filling enough for me leh."

Truffle Fries:

• Many of my friends could not appreciate the "gas taste" of the truffle oil.
• Personally, it was okay and very yummy^^
• The portion was reasonable for $8 paid.

Home-made Churros:

• Nicely made.
• Tastes even better with the chocolate sauce.

Tiramisu:

• Liquor blended really well with the tiramisu.
• Could not really taste the cheese. 
• Portion wise: reasonable.

Black Velvet Cake:

• The name itself sounded really unique.
• It's just coffee cake with cream cheese.
• The cake it spongy. I like it's texture.

Cappuccino:

• Pretty coffee art.
• Does not have the acidic after coffee taste as said by Maymay.
• Medium bodied.

Overall Advantages:

• No service charge or GST.
• The food prices are reasonable!

Overall Disadvantages:

• The place is rather tiny so do make your reservations before hand. (I called 4 days in advance to make mine for it's for a big group)

Note:

• They are close on Mondays.
• Brunch for weekdays end at 1730pm. (That's why we have not gotten the chance to try it.)

Habitat Coffee is a really awesome place. It's rather inaccessible though; but we'd do anything for good food^^ Have you peoples visited Habitat Coffee? Let us know your views too alrights!

(The whole bunch of us^^)

Till next time!

Hello! Habitat Coffee has been my recent hangout these two weeks. Thought I'd update you peepos on the stuffs I have tried there!

Firstly: Changes to the menu, they do not have Waffles Sunrise anymore.

I had The Shrooms ($12):

• Consists of: two poached eggs, large portion of sauteed mushrooms, two slices of Brioche and Salad.
• The eggs were well done!
• The sauteed mushrooms was the ultz! You should give anything mushroom at Habitat Coffee a go!

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes ($10):

• Consists of: three thick fluffy pancakes, caramelized apples and raisins, and slices of raw apples.
• The pancakes were fluffy and nice. It is rather filling although the portion looks otherwise.
• The portion of caramelized apples and raisins was good! And every bite tasted like heaven!
• This is something I would definitely try again when I am back!

I also had their flavoured coffee: Iced Macadamia Coffee ($6.90). They really have good coffee! Its something you peeps have to try when you are there!
