The Cheesecake Cafe

Have you ever looked at your lifestyle one day and realised that it has changed, without you noticing? Not too long ago, my weekends were spent mostly in town or Dempsey. As things change, friends change, and for whatsoever reasons, my new weekends are now spent either at Yan’s place or somewhere in the east.

Anyways, met up with Judy today to bask in laziness. We went to Kah Motors (ya, because COE now $2), ate at Cheesecake cafe amidst a pouring sky, visited a showflat at St Patrick’s Residences, and wrapped up with a Thai dinner at Tuk Tuk Restaurant.

At the Cheesecake cafe, service was impeccable. The owner is a hands-on guy. From getting us smoking tables to voluntarily whisking us off to avoid the splattering raindrops from the downpour to allowing me to smoke at a non-smoking zone.. I am thoroughly impressed. We had a robust coffee, a Strawberry-Oreo cheesecake and a Dark Chocolate Banana Cake. They are not called the Cheesecake cafe for nothing really. The dark chocolate cake didnt work for us but the Strawberry Oreo cheesecake won us over. And this is coming from someone who does not fancy Oreo and strawberries aint my best friends either!

2 coffees and 2 pretty cakes set us back S$27, so you do the math. I’d really love to write about the fantastic dinner we had but I ought to really get some work done. My 5 month old job is quite a nightmare. Well on the brighter side, it’s better to get swarmed by work rather than uncertainties in this current economic climate. Will be back real soon to continue this entry. Stay tuned.

The Cheesecake Cafe is at 685 East Coast Road (near Siglap Centre)
Parking is like trying to strike toto. Try the HDB carpark across the road instead.

Heard quite a bit about this new establishment and decided to check it out. I like the rustic concept and the “roughness” of the place. Good news is that every single outdoor seating allows you to smoke, and on top of that, you can flick your cig butt ANYWHERE. these 2 combined together, is a luxury for any smoker. They don’t have a menu, service is very warm as the owner sits down beside you and explains the various Cocktails/Martini concoctions they have. Zann went ahead with the Pineapple Martini and I had the Saketini (which is actually Raspberry Martini). Mind you beer lovers, they don’t serve beers here. We enjoyed our drinks, but wished there was more alcohol involved. We love our alcohol you know.

As for the crowd, I was really surprised when I saw people dressed to the nines in skimpy dresses to such a rustic place. How did they manage to walk with their heels on the uneven ground and up the stairs??! Crowd is a mixture of dating couples, big groups of what seems like uni students and a few executive-looking types.

There is also this female singer crooning out jazz renditions of pop hits, complete with a very nice white piano which I really liked. The singing lent a nice mood to the atmosphere without being too intrusive
Anyhow, We almost fell off the slope when our bills arrived. 2 Martinis cost us $48. *woohoo*
This is a place I will come back again sometime, with a bigger group of friends or maybe a hot date. and oh btw, I really liked this picture I took. Keke
