Protokoll Roasters (프로토콜 상수) – Aesthetic 3-storey Café in Sangsu with Great Coffee

673A1136

I first came to know about Protokoll Roasters while they were operating their first and only outlet in Yeonhui-dong. Since then, the brand’s success has expanded enough for them to open a showroom and an aesthetic 3-storey café in Sangsu.

673A1109 673A1113

When I visited the Sangsu outlet, the showroom was unfortunately closed as they were busy running a booth at Seoul’s Coffee Expo. This showroom served as a multifunctional space for baristas to explain about Protokoll and the coffee they serve, to conduct coffee tasting and brewing classes, and for other baristas to try out their equipment – all on a reservation basis.

673A1130 673A1134

Right behind the showroom is the full-fledged café serving just coffee and financiers. As I came in right at opening hour, I explored the 3 storeys freely while waiting to collect my order. I loved the part industrial, part classroom-like interior – the exposed ceiling, bare concrete floor, wooden drawers with metal handles, metal lamps, all seemed to be in harmony with one another. The chairs and tables were also arranged to mimic a classroom setting, with stationery and notepads placed on the tables.

673A1119

On the menu for espresso coffee, there were 2 types of beans I chose from: the Super Normal Blend, which is the very first blend created by Protokoll, and Pureut (푸릇) which is a Single Origin.

673A1152

I had a Small Latte (KRW6000) with the Super Normal blend. It had a good body but not too heavy for me, with tasting notes of dark chocolate with a subtle tartness.

673A1128

Apart from espresso coffee, there were also a range of Filter Coffees from Ethiopia, Costa Rica and Columbia.

673A1148

There were only financiers (supplied by a bakery called Elder Franc) served in 4 flavours on the pastries/dessert menu – the Butter Scotch Almonds, O Lemon Marmadlade, Earl Grey Chocochip, and Espresso Vanilla. I had the Espresso Vanilla Financier (KRW3800) which was just alright. It could be rather dry to have it without the coffee pairing.

673A1130

I highly recommend coming early to grab the window seats which gives you more privacy. Coffee connoisseurs must try this café.

Pelle and Pepe Bakery – Plant-Based Sourdough Bakery in Joo Chiat

673A3141

Tucked away in an unassuming alley, away from the main street in Joo Chiat, is Pelle and Pepe Bakery. Characterized by the bright green frames of its doors, one might pass by and not even notice that it is a bakery if they miss the modest sign.

673A3098

I was there with my friend at 8.30am on a Saturday at opening hour, and there were already a few people waiting to get in.

673A3099 673A3106

Stepping into the quaint unit, I realised that a corner of the store is operated by Narrative Coffee Stand, serving drinks, while the other bigger corner is the baking space for Pelle and Pepe. I ordered a Matcha Latte ($5.5, +$0.70 with Oat Milk) from the coffee stand, but regretted not getting coffee instead.

673A3114

Pelle and Pepe bakery prides itself as a sourdough bakery space focusing on plant-based, wholegrain forward, and zero yeast bakes – a point of attraction for those who are into nutritional bakes. There is a range of naturally leavened bread, sourdonuts (sourdough donuts), wholegrain croissants, other baked goods and pastries and a hot menu that changes on a weekly basis. You can check their Instagram for the weekly menu.

We had a total of 4 items – the Apple Pie Sourdonut, Cardamom Bun, Pain Perdu and Croque Madame.

673A3119 673A3143

The Apple Pie Sourdonut ($7.50) was light and fluffy and I enjoyed the chunks of apples which were not overly sweetened.

673A3120

Somehow, it’s not common to find bakeries offering Cardamom Bun ($6.50) in Singapore, so I was satisfied to find one here that was of good quality.

673A3136

If I visited again, I would skip the Croque Madame from the hot menu. Unfortunately, we found parts of the overly crisp toast that were blackened, and the dish felt more like an egg, tomato and cheese toastie rather than a Croque Madame.

673A3132

Thankfully, we liked the Pain Perdu (French Toast). The spiced pear was slightly too ripe and mushy, but the fluffy sourdough brioche, soaked in the mildly sweet and spiced cardamom syrup and crème anglaise, made a sweet finish to our breakfast, without filling too heavy on the stomach.

Don’t miss this bakery especially if you are living or traveling around the area.

Stockroom, Bangkok – Hidden Café Serving All Day Brunch and Coffee

673A1976

Returning to Bangkok after 7 years, I was happily surprised to see that the café scene has been booming with many new cafes. One of my café picks on my recent trip was Stockroom, which was tucked away in an old alley of shophouses – somewhere you would not expect to find a modern F&B establishment.

673A1963-2

When I was there at the Ratchatewi outlet (there was another outlet at Thonglor), the café had a collaboration with a local artist so the exterior and interiors were decorated with cute cartoon illustrations. There was even a Fotoautomat booth in the café.

673A1946 673A1949

The café interior felt homely, with the use of various pastel colours and wooden furniture – there were both locals and foreigners, some just having casual conversations with their friends and some who were comfortably working remotely with laptops. There were 2 floors but unfortunately the 2nd floor was not opened for diners despite being fully and cleanly furnished. The indoor patio with the sun-roof made an aesthetic spot for photo shoots but not quite a functional dining area when the sun was blazing through.

673A1956-2

A variety of Signature Drinks was on the menu, with some interesting-sounding ones like Sangria Coffee (140THB) and Darci (150THB, SGD5.60). However I played it safe and got a Hot Mocha with Oat Milk (150THB, SGD5.60). The coffee was decent, and I noted that the prices of coffee have increased significantly, coming close to that in Singapore.

673A1959-2

From the All Day Brunch menu, my first choice – the Smoked Salmon & Egg Avocado Toast (270THB, SGD10.11) was unfortunately sold out, so I opted for the Tuna Melt Sandwich (250THB, SGD9.36) instead. The combination of toasted and crispy sourdough, tuna in a housemade sauce akin to tartar sauce, mozzarella and sunny side up was simple yet hearty.

673A1953

As I was café hopping throughout that day, I skipped the desserts – some of the more promising and popular items I saw were the Blueberry Almond Tart (180THB, SGD6.70) and French Toast with Ice Cream (190THB, SGD7.12).

673A1967

This was a lovely respite in the heart of Bangkok, away from the heat and crowd of the huge nearby shopping malls and hotels.

OOJ Coffee Club, Seoul (공공재 커피 클럽) – White Aesthetic Café in Anguk, Specialising in Coffee and Tiramisu

673A9848

The café scene in Anguk, where Bukchon Hanok Village is, is highly competitive with big names like Onion, Café Layered and London Bagel Museum attracting not just locals but foreign tourists increasingly. Not too far from these cafes is OOJ Coffee Club, which specialises in specialty coffee, drinks and tiramisu.

673A9821 673A9845

You can see why I had this café on my go-to list from the interior itself – it seemed to be effortlessly designed and set up to be minimal, with a focus on creating a white and airy space that becomes even more inviting when naturally lit with the morning sun. I found my favourite spot in the café, where the all-white camping table and camping chairs were and thought to myself to save it as an interior design inspiration for my future home.

673A9832

I browsed through the menu, which was divided into 3 sections – Espresso base coffees (no filter here), non-coffee, and desserts.

673A9836

Though I was highly tempted to get their specialty non-coffee drinks such as their Burning Ceylon Tea (KRW5,500) and Lime Vanilla Ade (KRW6,500), it was still early in the morning which means i was in 100% the mood for coffee.

673A9858

I had the Oatly Latte (KRW6,000), which was slightly too bitter and acidic for me.

673A9850

Thankfully, this was balanced out with the desserts. I came 1 week too late for the winter special which was the Strawberry Mascarpone Tiramisu (KRW9,500), so I had to go with my second choice which was the spring special – Banana Brulee Tiramisu (KRW8,500). The tiramisu base (sponge and cream) was the same for all flavours but the toppings varied. Mine was topped with a banana that was sliced and bruleed. Unlike a lot of desserts in Korea, this was subtly sweet and not overly saccharine.

673A9861

It was a huge slice, and admittedly I had to takeaway half of it to continue with the rest of my café hopping journey that day. The one thing I appreciate in Korea is how they would pack anything for you in nice boxes with cutlery and napkins.

D’RIM – New Korean Restaurant at Mandarin Gallery with Premium Lunch Sets and Korean Barbecue

673A1602

D’RIM is one of the newest Korean restaurants in town that I’ve been invited to try recently, located at the upscale Mandarin Gallery. I initially thought that D’RIM was a wordplay on “dream”, but it was actually the short romanized version of 드림 (deu-rim), which means the act of giving with respect and sincerity. It’s normally used as a sign off on emails/letters, something akin to “Yours Sincerely”.  

673A1604

The restaurant has multiple dining areas, including private rooms for gatherings. We were seated at the counter seats where we got to view most of the action.   

There were a la carte and set lunch menus, an all day Korean barbecue grilled meat menu, and even a dinner omakase menu.

673A1566

From the lunch set menu, we had 2 lunch “Bansang” sets. These sets came with a choice of main dish and fixed side dishes of Korean steamed egg, kohlrabi kkakdugi, pine nut salad, sungchae dumplings, yukjeon and Korean pickle. The sungchae dumplings were the interesting and not so commonly found side dish that I was hooked on – unlike the usual dumpling, the filling is wrapped with Chinese cabbage leaves.  

673A1544

We also had some healthy teas to pair with our sets. I got the Mandarin Peel Tea which tasted very medicinal and healthy.

673A1572

Moving on to the mains, the D’RIM Signature Noodle (A la carte $26, Set $38) is one of their signature dishes which I highly recommend. It featured 100% buckwheat noodles with a fragrant perilla seed sauce, beef heel muscle, handmade soy sauce, perilla oil, garlic chives, spinach, sesame seeds, perilla leaves and perilla leaf sprouts. The noodles here are freshly made daily with special Jeju buckwheat flour, which even within Korea is sold as a premium item with a higher cost. I loved the springiness of the noodles, and particularly the fragrance of the entire dish after pouring in the perilla oil and mixing all the ingredients.

673A1590

The other main I tried was the Jeju Yukgaejang (A la carte $32, Set $44), which was a spicy beef and vegetable soup made with Jeju rock fern, brisket, buckwheat flour, green onions, sesame seeds and red pepper powder. The rock fern and brisket combination had an interesting texture, and together with the soup, this dish felt earthy.

The premium ingredients used in the dishes was the highlight for me – the dishes all tasted wholesome as a result.

673A1598

Would love to try their K-BBQ menu at the next opportunity.

Blu Kouzina @ The Palawan – The OG Greek Restaurant in Singapore Opens New Branch at Sentosa

673A1690

Blu Kouzina has always been my favorite Greek/Mediterranean restaurant in Singapore, hands down. I first got to experience their food at their first outlet at Dempsey Hill, which has a lovely, warm atmosphere in the indoor dining area and a cool, Greek vibe at their patio.

673A1661

Since then, they have expanded to a second outlet at Siglap and recently, a third outlet at Sentosa. The Sentosa outlet is situated in a new enclave called The Palawan, which is a sprawling lifestyle and entertainment complex for activities (outdoor mini golf course, electric go-kart circuit, etc.), beach clubs and food. It was a 10mins walk away from Beach Station and mostly sheltered.

673A1679

Befitting of a beach side restaurant, the alfresco dining area was decked in wooden tables and rattan chairs, complemented with white sofas, hanging rattan lamps and other adornments. It directly overlooks the Palawan Beach where HydroDash is. Though it might get slightly warm without the breeze (no fans or air con in this area), I would still gladly laze in the charming alfresco area.

Otherwise, there was also a cooler indoor dining area which was furnished in the classic blue and white Greek theme.

673A1716

To my surprise, there was a wide range of coffees on the menu and to spare myself the tough decision, I got the staff to prepare whichever coffee variation they would like. I was served a glass of the Blue Sea Latte ($10.80) which was essentially espresso coffee with milk and butterfly pea. The colours were pretty, of course. Since I switched to oat milk, the milk foam was less pompous than expected.

673A1709

As a healthy start to the dishes, I had the Fresh Vegetable Salad ($28.50) that came as a heap of thinly grated crunchy cabbage topped with walnuts.

673A1695

Moving on to something more sinful, I had the Spanakopita ($22.50). Encased in the crispy Greek phyllo pastry were warm, generous fillings of spinach and feta cheese which was a comforting snack.

673A1697

Served on a large rectangular tray, the Feta Special Honey Walnut came with a huge chunk of feta cheese topped with walnuts and doused with honey. The sweet savoury combination with the crunchy texture of nuts kept me reaching out for more. This was good for sharing between 2-3 pax.

673A1708

Since the emphasis at this seaside restaurant is on seafood, we had the Prawn Manestra ($30.50) as the first main course. This was a Greek orzo dish cooked in a prawn broth, enriched with garlic, onions, EVOO, and topped with a sauteed jumbo prawn. I liked the clean seafood flavour of the dish that was not overwhelming but wished that there could be more prawns to balance out the portion of the orzo.  

673A1720

We also had the Salmon Fillet grilled with Mediterranean herbs and served with Horta salad (boiled spinach and EVOO).

673A1738

I love baklava, and I love ice cream – and so I was very satisfied that our dessert, the Baklava Ice Cream, turned out as good as I imagined the collaboration between the two to be. The ice cream was rich, creamy and smooth while generously infused with bits of phyllo pastry and nuts. Service-wise, I thought that the waiters could be more attentive as it took multiple attempts to reach out to them.

673A1668

With the unobstructed beach front view, beachhouse vibes and authentic Mediterranean food, Blu Kouzina’s addition to Sentosa elevates the quality of limited dining options by the beaches.

Nest, Seoul – Rooftop Tea Café beside Tosokchon Samgyetang with View of Bukhansan

673A0776

A few strides away from the ever-bustling Tosokchon Samgyetang (famous ginseng chicken soup) was a nondescript building which houses a tea café, Nest. From the main entrance of the building facing the main road, take the lift to the 5th floor and you would expect to see the café right in front as you step out.

673A0775

Minimalistic in design, the café boasted exposed ceilings, a mix of wooden brown and white chairs and tables and silver counters and display cabinets. Large window panels lined the café and provided patrons a view of the neighbouring Seochon Hanok Village with Bukhansan (Mount Bukhan) in the background.

673A0771

Towards the far end of the café, there was a retail corner that is delicately designed like a showroom, where you can get things like condiments, trays or even postcards.

673A0766

The café operated on a self-service basis, where ordering and picking up of food was done at the counter. Specialising in tea, the menu had various teas, both caffeinated and caffeine-free which I had a hard time choosing from. Eventually, I went for the Apple Vitamin (KRW5,500 for hot, KRW6,000 for iced). The combination of hibiscus, rose hip, apple and orange made a naturally sweet fruity tea with a slight tartness. If you’re into fruit teas, this would make a great choice.

673A0751

Food-wise, the dishes on the menu were on the healthier side, with plates like a humus salad and basil chicken sandwich. I chose the most interesting sounding one, which was the Burrata Pea Croissant (KRW14,000). It came with a croissant with ham and cheese filling, and burrata cheese, peas and a grated carrot salad on the side. The flavours were clean and healthy tasting – I had suspicions about the peas at first but they were mildly sweet and went well with the burrata. The price point was also wallet-friendly, considering there was a whole burrata.

673A0757

For dessert, I picked the Black Sesame Roll (KRW8,000) as a black sesame fan. I enjoyed the mild black sesame flavours of the chiffon and light cream, however I found the chiffon portion slightly dry.

673A0763

If you’re feeling peckish from touring Gyeongbokgung or in need of drinks after a heavy lunch nearby, this is a hidden café, not crowded with tourists, that you could visit.

Nachbar Coffee House, Seoul (나흐바)

673A0992-2

Specialising in filter coffee, Nachbar is a small café situated in Seochon (one of my favourite neighbourhoods!) in Seoul. I first went in spring and made a return visit in autumn – that fact on its own is a big testament to how much I liked the space and coffee.

673A9932 673A9899

In spring, the cherry blossom tree right next to the café creates a picturesque little scenery and casts nice shadows on the white façade of the café. The large open windows also allow for natural light to illuminate the space and patrons to people-watch while sipping their coffees. In the café, the mood was bright and cheery.

673A9904-2 673A9912

At the moment, the café is owned and solely operated by its owner, a single man show. (So waiting time might be longer if it’s a full house). He gathers a small range of filter coffee beans each time and it changes on a regular basis. The prices also differ according to each type of bean. Since the café started as a filter coffee specialty bar, I had chosen the Honduras Reyes from Goro Coffee Roasters on my first visit. I enjoyed the brew which came tasting notes of lavender, peach, and brown sugar. There was a certain level of tartness and acidity which was not overpowering for me.

673A0985-2

In autumn, a long carpet was rolled out in the cafe and the atmosphere became cosier, with people huddling in their winter jackets and coats. This time, I noticed the owner brought in an oat milk option so I had the Latte (KRW5500, + 500 for oat). The latte was a light roast with tanginess and tartness.

673A9923-2

I also found out that the owner recently started selling homemade Cinnamon Rolls (KRW5000 each) so I got one of it. The outer layers had a slight crisp while the inner layers were slightly fluffy and sufficiently (but not overly) sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It would have been even better if the bread was softer and fluffier, with some cream cheese spread on top.

673A9934

As I indulged in my coffee and pastry, I found it amazing how the same space could have a different mood and atmosphere as the seasons change.

Moonchild – New Brunch Cafe at Jalan Besar from the team behind Atlas Coffee

673A1435

Moonchild is the newest child of the team behind Atlas Coffeehouse, Columbus Coffee Co, Supernova, Neptune, Apollo Coffee Bar and the defunct Lunar Coffee Brewers – all of which I’ve been with the exception of Columbus. With this context, it was hard not to come with a certain level of expectation.

673A1410

Given that the café opened recently with much attraction to crowds, I recommend avoiding the weekend if possible or to come as early as opening hour to snag a table without queueing. On a positive note, the café had both indoor and outdoor dining areas with plenty of seats, just that they seemed to limit the number of patrons during busy periods.  

673A1192

With a range of Filters, Espresso Coffees, Teas, Natural Wines and other drinks to choose from, the drinks menu was extensive to suit all palates. From my 3 occasions here, I got to try both espresso blends for my Flat White and Latte ($5.3 for regular 7oz, +$1.1 for oat) – Mr Cuddles (Bold & Strong) and Mr Brightside (Juicy & Bright). Both blends suited my preference and my coffees had a creamy, nutty aftertaste like peanut butter.

673A1439

The food menu was divided into The Morning Situation (9am – 3pm) which offers breakfast/brunch options and Midday to Close (11am onwards) which features lunch options like pastas, rice bowls and burgers.

673A1474-2

I had the Potato Stack Smoked Salmon Poached Eggs ($21.9) which is their version of the eggs royale. Instead of the usual English muffin or toast, fried potato stack was used and I liked biting into the layers of potato. The eggs were also of good quality, with flowy orange golden yolks.

673A1463

The Banana Bread with Espresso Mascarpone ($12.6) was huge, I couldn’t finish it on my own for breakfast. The brown creamy layer of espresso mascarpone was addictive and paired well with the fluffy bread. Salt was also sprinkled on top and created a sweet savoury combination, like salted caramel.

673A1486-2

If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the Butterscotch Rum Bananas French Toast ($22). The brioche was sufficiently but not overly moist and fluffy and came well together with the other elements of butterscotch rum bananas, vanilla ice cream and candied hazelnuts.

673A1213

If you are into thin pancakes (like McDonalds’ hot cakes), I would recommend the Hotcakes with Fresh Blueberry Compote and Raspberry Butter ($19.9), which were fluffy and light.

673A1227

From the lunch menu, I tried the Unagi Don ($20.9) and it was surprisingly good. The grilled unagi was tender and optimally sweet, and was served with ikura, burnt buttered corn, furikake, nori, and Japanese rice.

673A1244 673A1233

I had read reviews recommending the Really Nice Mushrooms on Toast ($19.5) which comes with grilled mushrooms, spinach, pickled shallots, creamy mushroom sauce, sourdough crumb, and 2 poached eggs. However, my friend and I found the mushrooms too salty and I thought the dish could have more depth.

673A1433

Apart from the slight disappointment with the mushrooms and toast, the other dishes left me well-fed and satisfied. With other promising and raved-about items on their menu, Moonchild could be that weekend brunch spot that is perpetually packed, just like its sister cafes.

Moxie – Mod Mediterranean Restaurant with Beach House Vibes

673A1303

Brought to you by the folks behind Siri House is Moxie, a new modern Mediterranean restaurant and lifestyle concept. I was already impressed by the private entrance leading up to the restaurant, and the walkway from the door leading to the main dining area. The restaurant goes by the concept of a modern beach house, with the wood rattan ceiling lamps creating the vibes. I did feel like I was transported out of Singapore for a while.

673A1279

Out of the different menus available (Lunch, Dinner, Weekend Brunch, Happy Hour), we had a medley of items from the dinner menu which features communal sharing plates and platters.

673A1321

To start, we had the Moxie Dip Platter with Pita ($22 with 3 dips) comes with choice of dips and we were recommended the Spinach Yogurt, Smashed Kabocha and Whipped Ricotta. The Spinach Yogurt and Kabocha were the more interesting options, the former having a generous ratio of spinach to Greek while the latter has a light, natural sweetness of roasted Japanese pumpkin.

673A1351

Directly air flown from Puglia is their Burrata ($19), with a creamy and flowy core that was easily torn apart. The salad was completed with red beets and grapes.

673A1344

I don’t consume raw fish regularly but the Yellowtail Carpaccio ($32) was memorable. It had a slightly firm and chewy texture and was well-paired with chilli lime dressing and minced ginger flower.

673A1354

Unlike its namesake, I was thankful that the Spanish Salt Cod Croquettes ($19) were not overly salty.

673A1373

Our catch of the day was a 200g Seabass Fillet ($42) served chargrilled with salsa and charred spring onion puree. The skin had a nice, smoky taste while the meat was tender with a clean flavour.

673A1370

The Arugula Pesto Orecchiette ($38) was a seafood feast, with crab meat, prawns and scallops. The fresh prawns were my highlight – sauteed with garlic confit in oil, dried red chili, white wine, arugula pesto and butter, they reminded me of a delicious gambas al ajillo without the spice. Though we found some parts of the orecchiette overly firm, the toasted pine nuts added a layer of texture and nuttiness that kept us going for more.

673A1380

The list of cocktails at Moxie was interesting. I had a taste of the Amber Lit ($22), an Evan Williams Bourbon Infused Earl Grey Old Fashioned that was smartly paired with a small bark of rosemary and sea salt dark chocolate (70%) on top. The earl grey came as a smooth aftertaste. And well, the chocolate? I could have it as a snack all day.

673A1385

We had 3 desserts and the Dark Chocolate Mousse ($16) was my favourite, hands down. The bittersweet mousse was topped with an addictive scoop of hazelnut ice cream which was distinctly nutty and not sugary.

>673A1394

The Tiramisu ($16) (note: only available for brunch) had a light, fluffy texture with a good amount of rum. The ratio of ladyfinger to custard was also in a range I preferred, i.e. not overly creamy.

673A1405

The Moxie Mille Feuille ($19) reminded us of the kunefe, with a layer of whipped cream cheese sandwiched between 2 layers of filo pastry and finished with a crown of kataifi. This was quite heavy for me and I didn’t manage to finish it.

673A1290

Overall, I thought the modern interpretation of Mediterranean food was quite well done and together with the ambience and vibes, Moxie is one dining spot I would recommend especially for large gatherings to feast on their extensive menu. The price point, I felt, was better than restaurants of similar standards in the CBD.

673A1277

This was an invited media tasting.
