Jewel Cafe & Bar Review

This wasn't my first visit to the cafe but it left me a good impression due to the dessert I had.
The Apple Crumble, which was really nice.
A must-try if you are craving for some desserts.
 Jewel Cafe & Bar is the second outlet to Jewel Coffee (One Shenton Way) which is situated just a 5-minute walk from the nearest MRT Station, Farrer Park.
If you are looking for good coffee, I guess the one at Shenton Way is a much better choice because they focus more on the caffeine.
The store manager and one of the baristas at work.
So here is the list of food items we've ordered!
Iced Chocolate ($8)
Yes, it's a little pricey but this is really quite good.
Mojito Mocktail 
It was a tad too sweet at first but as the ice melts away, it just became better and better.
Iced Mocha ($7.50)
Just like how my mister likes it.
Macchiato ($4.50)
Scorched Eggs w BBQ sauce ($9).
BOMB.
Love how the meat complement the half-boiled eggs!
A meat lover will definitely dig this.
Golden Fried Fish ($22), with Truffle Fries (+$2).
Pan-fried Chilean black cod with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables with cardinal sauce.
Love Love Love the truffle fries.
I swear I am hooked on truffle fries recently.
Still love the ones at Habitat Coffee tho.
Didn't really like the fish because I find it too bready, but mister loves it.
Umami Prawn Capellini ($23)
Was contemplating between this and the Chilli Crab Pasta.
But since this is a hot favourite on the list, I decided to give it a try.
This capellini is inspired by the local Hokkien mee but its version includes grilled prawns, tossed in crustacean oil and topped with their own Umami "magic" dust.
Love how they did the fusion with bonito flakes and fish roe (which is my favourite) and it's so rich in flavour, it blew my mind away.
And of course those juicy and fresh prawns lead this dish to the next level.
Have to agree with all the reviews that this is definitely a must-try!!!
Pancakes w Strawberries & Caramelised Bananas ($14) 
The pancakes are done airy and fluffy which is pretty good but the downside was them bathing in the sea of maple syrup.
As the pancake soaks up the maple, it moistens up way too fast which leads one to get sick of the taste easily.
The cafe has a decent amount of crowd on weekends so do make reservations if you intend to come in a big group!!!
Heh, Huin in sleepwear for the day.
Stay tune, folks!
Do leave me a comment if you think this site needs any improvement!
