Yes! It's Friday again! Another recent newly open cafe in Jurong West - Archipelago Creamery. Slightly special this time round as it is situated inside, or rather within Nanyang Community Centre. For those staying around the area, you will probably already know where it is. More pictures this time round!

Here comes the menu!

These are some of the flavours available for Ice-cream. Do note that there are some premium flavours (additional $1.00 each) too. But I did test most of the flavours like at least 6 out of 10. They are almost up to their standards in term of taste!! Highly recommended: Rocher (though later I dint try because too popular already) !

I have to say that I like their theme!! Even water & cutlery point are so neatly decorated ~ Nice!

Charcoal Waffle with Ice Cream (Earl Grey Lavender and What-the-fudge), together with Salted caramel sauce. So far I prefer their waffle compared to Creamier (refer to my previous post). I'm not those that prefer very crispy one, and this one was really just nice for me. Together with salted caramel sauce, the taste of sweet (ice cream) and salty is really just nice! Good combi at least. Earl Grey Lavender - It has a very strong taste of lavender but meanwhile not forgetting having bit of Earl Grey to cover it back. Another strongly recommended flavour for ice cream. As for What-the-Fudge, it is basically chocolate. Bit of bitter and sweet. Good for chocolate lovers, cant miss!

Shibuya Toast with Banana and Chocolate, together with 2 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream (this is fixed on the menu; you cant change the flavour of ice cteam) Not sure of topping up money works though, you may try. Firstly, just by looking you might think the bread is hard but to my surprise it is not. Maybe on the outer layer it can be slightly but still yummy enough! Let me show you the 'inside' ~

Cubes of bread which are already nicely cut for us. With the spread of butter on it and get it to be toasted! Perfectly done! Super yummy please! Go and try!

Shibuya Toast: $14.80

Good news for West-siders! This cafe just opened some time ago last month. It is like a Bistro cafe offering casual dining - more of western food that's pretty easy on the wallet. This time round I went on a Saturday afternoon, around 12plus. Not many people, still managed to get seats for 2 pax. But crowds start to fall in after us. Lucky us!

Exterior of the cafe.

Menu for your reference first.  (This big size menu is actually placed outside on the wall if you noticed from the picture above.)

Browse thru the menu given on your table and place your orders at this counter. Make your payment at the same time, and no GST and service charge too.

Pretty spacious right! Roughly can fit about 45 pax in the neighborhood cafe, its good enough!

First recommended dish on the menu: Salted Egg Prawn Pasta ($12.90) The portion is big enough and because its with Salted egg, you tend to get 'sick' of it soon. For me, it does and partly because it gets more and more dry too (sauce). Prawns is fresh enough; but i think it might be processed one though.

Next on the menu: Honey Soy Chicken ($8.90). Hmmm it just taste like normal chicken chop, nothing special about the taste. Even for the fries and salad, just normal only.

Firstly, my apologies for not taking this photo properly. The lighting is a bit of problem in the restaurant. My bad! This is their Usual Wings ($6.50), together with barbeque sauce. It tasted like  those you buy from supermarkets in frozen packs. But its crispy enough, at least well fried!!

In conclusion, having this cafe out at a Jurong East neighborhood estate was pretty cool idea! It has a good ambience for a short gathering as people are pouring in now due to the publication from blogs. Reasonable price for a cafe and for the quantity, it's pretty worth it.

Getting there: 
Tuesday to Sunday:
11:00-15:30 & 17:30-22:00

Wide lens view of the whole cafe.

Starting from the left of the picture, it is the restaurant whereby you may dine in and having those main courses - Starters, Quesdilla, Sandwiches, Burgers, Entrees and Pastas. Right in the middle of the whole stretch, you have the cafe where they allow you to take away and several tables and chairs too. I went on a Sunday and able to get a seat for 2 so shouldn't be a problem. I would say it is rather challenging for bigger group about more than 5 pax? Lastly, on the extreme right we had the merchandise shop where the huge fans of superheroes might be more interested too.

Photo Point with the Bat Woman & the batcycle.

This is how the counter looks like. Menu on the wall & Superheroes figurines & merchandise everywhere.

There is this "Joker" room in the cafe with only about 4 sets of tables and sofas. But i would say the concept is pretty cosy. Please pardon the uncleared table as the waitress was nowhere to be seen.

Their operation hour has been newly announced;
Lunch 11:00 ~ 15:00 (Last Order @ 14:30)
Dinner 17:30 ~ 23:00 / 23:30 (Last Order @ 22:30)
*Sunday ~ Thursday: till 23:00
*Friday & Saturday: till 23:30

Definitely a good place for you to pose and take photos.

Once entered, you will notice these clipboards on your left. Guess what? These are all menus!

This serving bar just make me feel comfortable.

Seating area which is quite spacious. But do note that the crowds are starting to come in during lunch hours. Be there early or make reservation if you are going in large group.

Here's the menus: We ordered the Triple B and Eggs Benedict + Spicy Crsipy Wings too.

First Dish: Triple B which is Boufe's Big Breakfast. Freshly baked buttery croissant served with scrambled eggs, assorted sausages, honey-glazed bacon, sauteed mushroom and fresh greens. 

Cafe Hopping anyone? Here is one of my recommendation - Drips Bakery Cafe and it is located in the Tiong Bahru Area. Decided to visit on a random Sunday in March and luckily 3 of us managed to get a seat. Please pardon me for the delay in blogging it.

Yes. Menu on the wall.

Doesnt all these look tempting enough? I only managed to try 3 out of these.

They do sell breads too. Shall try these on my next visit.

Sorry for the flood of pictures, but well introduction mah. Hahahaha next is showing how the interior seatings look like. Dint manage to take a good pic of it. Only one. Please bear with it.

Here are mostly of the sofas area. Another area are mostly normal tables and chairs.

Basically this is how the inner look of the Cafe looks like. Cosy and spacious too.

Strawberry Crepe - This is pretty normal though, but if you are a strawberry lover, can give it a try. It has rich strawberry taste in it.

Buttermilk Pancake - MUST TRY TOO! Their pancake is fluffy, together with Salted Butter Cream. Total awesome combination!

Chocolate Toast Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream- This is awesome! Must try, and would advise to share between 2-3 pax. Rather big portion for individual though.

Hot Nutella - Sweet enough, and to go with the piece of butter biscuit. Good to try.

Price Breakdown - Acceptable or rather standard cafe price.
