The Lokal

*please watch in HD :)

I have read too many good reviews about The Lokal  but I don't understand why I took so long to finally visit this cafe..haha! It's located at a corner shophouse along Neil Road. The Lokal  is the sister outlet of Sarnies and its decor and ambiance will give you the Aussie feel, remind me of the cafes that I visited during my Melbourne trip! We visited on a public holiday afternoon and a mini queue was already formed inside the cafe. I think we got our table after a 15-20 minutes wait which was not too bad actually! And we got the window seats which means i got good lighting to take pictures! :p

We were so famished by that time but we just couldn't decide which item to order because everything just look so promising..lol! We ordered a roasted beef ciabatta and a smoked salmon egg royale to share. For the drinks, sf had the hot chocolate because she said she just had coffee this morning before meeting me? LOL! I'm not really a coffee person so I always opt for mocha..hehe! Our food came pretty fast and omg i can totally understand what's the hype about this cafe just by trying both dishes that we ordered!  I personally adored the egg royale more! That delicious slab of smoked salmon was done to perfection and this was coming from a person (aka me) who don't really fancy salmon (except raw salmon)! The egg yolk flows out perfectly as well..just watch the video and you will know what I meant..haha! Being a bread lover, I absolutely enjoy the beef ciabatta which is the perfect combination of sliced sauteed beef and caramelized onions (insert heart eyes emoji)!

I still remember it was super hazy that day (PSI hit around 300+!!) but it was nonetheless a well spent afternoon with lots of catch up and updates with sf! Overall, The Lokal  definitely lives up to its hype and it certainly deserves a return visit anytime!
