Malacca - Sin See Tai

The Daily Fix Cafe, known as the most popular cafe in Malacca has opened a new sister cafe - Sin See Tai 新时代 which means new generation or new era in Hokkien. It's a tiny cafe with only 16 seats available and it offers a smaller menu here. The place is decorated with plenty of greenery and wooden furnitures.

We ordered a baked egg and avocado bacon toast to share, food was pretty ok. The waffle and popsicle seems like a popular dish here but we didn't order it this time as we wanted to have dessert somewhere else, what a miss..lol! Anyway, the menu here is quite different from The Daily Fix Cafe, healthier choices are available here such as quinoa salad, chia seed pudding and home baked granola. Definitely a place to checkout if you are visiting Malacca.

Bearded Bella

Bearded Bella is a Melbourne inspired cafe opened by two coffee-lovers, one of them has won the Singapore National Barista Championship in 2016. It's located at Tanjong Pagar, tucked away at the end of Craig Road. Upon stepping into the cafe, you will love its quaint, minimalistic interior with wood elements and potted plants.

Bearded Bella is one of the cafe that produces their house blend which consist of 70% Ethiopian and 30% Honduras beans. I'm not a coffee person but I quite like their coffee, very fragrant and not very acidic, definitely worth a try even if you are not a coffee addict.

For the mains, we ordered smashed avo, spiced scrambled eggs and a chia pudding for sharing. Absolutely love the combo with quinoa, avocado(!!), pomegranate, sweet potato crisps and the grain toast. For the spiced scrambled eggs, i find it a bit oily but overall a good dish with yummy kale and mushrooms! Chia Pudding is definitely a good choice if you like something healthy. The greek yogurt was very light and refreshing, served with mango, kiwi and dragonfruit cubes and torched lychee.

Overall a good place for brunch with some unique brunch items and a good cuppa coffee although the price is slightly on the steep side.
