[CHOWTIME]: Mixxed Breakfast Club

We all know that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So what better way to start the morning? Have a full blast meal enough to keep you sated for the rest of the day. ( hehehe a bit of exaggeration right there! :D )

My best-friends and I would always meet up at least once or twice a month to keep each other updated (the old fashioned way) on things. But for a change, we opted to meet up for breakfast instead of having the usual dinner date. We had Dim Sun at Shamrock, tried the Breakfast Buffet at Novotel, tasted the "all day breakfast" at Caffe Habitu and the western breakfast at La Cafe Fontaine which is one of our favourite places to have breakfast.

There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast

Just recently, Jcel and I had the opportunity to dine in La Fontaine for two consecutive days. Too bad our other friend Crystal was not able to make it. The last time we had breakfast there (together) was a year ago since then they have relocated to the Lower Ground Floor, Jardine House


There's nothing exceptionally special about La Fontaine but it is good enough if you're craving for a western breakfast. But aside from Breakfast they also serve Pastas, Sandwiches and Curry. The plus side is that they are very affordable. So, it satisfies both your wallet and tummy. *double thumbs up*


Day 1:


Their regular breakfast set comes with 2 side dishes (of your choice) + Eggs (scrambled or sunny-side up) + toast bread and drinks (juice, tea or coffee)


Jcel's order: 
Bacon with Onions + mushrooms + scrambled eggs + Toast bread + coffee



Bex's Order: 
Baked beans + veal sausage + scrambled eggs + toast bread + coffee



As I have said the last time I was there was last year so when they brought our foods on our table, I was in awe. The scrambled eggs was perfect and the baked beans was surprisingly more than the usual serving. The veal sausages tasted good as well.

Day 2:


Jcel: Baked Salmon + mushrooms + scrambled eggs + toast bread + orange Juice

Bex: Bacon with Onions + veal Sausage (2 small pcs) + scrambled eggs + toast bread + orange Juice.



The orange juice was way too sour, in our opinion but I guess that's what you get for being Freshly Squeezed?

Their service was quick and staffs were friendly. The place was okay but it could use some de-cluttering but it's understandable cause they just moved. The bread seemed fresh and according to my "source" they actually bake it themselves.

Ratings:
Food: ****
Staff: ****
Place: ***
Price: ****

Price range: $60 - $100 per head

Would I recommend this place? 

Definitely a YES! I can safely say you can't go wrong with La Fontaine, so give it a try and let us know what you think :)

Cheers!
