Food For Thought@Botanic Gardens

Food for thought: sometimes, the company is more important than the café :P 

For me, the last time this happened was on Good Friday when I met up with KW (+baby) and GT for brunch at Food For Thought at Botanic Gardens. Funny how it was a last minute date - really at the eleventh hour and decided the night before! If not for the fact that I have not seen KW for a while, I will probably not agree to turn up. Haha.

KW suggested meeting at Botanic Gardens so I suggested Food For Thought. I have been wanting to visit the café for a while but laziness emerged victorious over gluttony (haha) - it is a bit out of the way for me as I don't drive and there is no direct bus. There is a branch at the Singapore Art Museum if you want to visit the café in a more centralised location.

I took Bus 132 from Bukit Merah Interchange, dropped at British Embassy and walked about 10 minutes to Tanglin Gate. Really hot day! Phew!

It was really crowded! Lucky KW was there early to get seats :)

G was late as usual ( I was guilty of the same charge that day :P). KW and I decided to get some cold drinks while waiting for her arrival. The poor gal dropped off at the wrong gate and had to take a taxi (again!) to Tanglin Gate. Lesson learnt: if you are taking cab, do ask taxi uncle to drop you at the right gate...

Ice Latte on a hot day! It was OK only. My expectations were higher, perhaps because I have been drinking lots of coffee these days. KW ordered Ice Chocolate but I did not get the chance to ask him if it was good....

 

Knowing G, I also ordered the fries with blue cheese to munch while we waited. Quite yummy! Unfortunately KW's baby also thought so and refused to eat his porridge after seeing this and started making noise. OMG! Had I knew he will be so affected, I would not have ordered it :(

 

And before we knew it, brunch turned to lunch. Was really hungry and ordered the dark chocolate and raspberries pancakes which came with fresh cream and gula melaka syrup. Was ok but too big a portion for me. Thanks for the pancakes treat, GT! :)

KW and GT ordered the basic breakfast set: scrambled eggs, bacon and buttered toast. Can also order the house or full set or add on other items for a price. Poor KW never did get to see his breakfast as he was out pacifying the baby the entire time :P and we got the cafe to pack it for him to bring home. If you are reading this, KW, this was how it looked like. Quite delicious looking :) Bet it would have tasted better if you had it with us :P Till the next time!

 

Food For Thought at Botanic Gardens was ok. Could have been better if it was not so hot and the baby cry not. Well, if you follow some food for thought from the café, it was not too bad: 1) Savour every minute 2) Enjoy every bite 3) Love your family 4) Hug the trees 5) Spread the word.

So savour every minute, enjoy every bite, love your family, hug the trees and spread the word! :)
