I always lament that there are no good cafes around Bukit Gombak until Burpple introduced me to Whisk & Paddle.
Decor
This glasshouse cafe is located at the entrance of Bukit Gombak Park and it’s just a 10-minute walk from Bukit Gombak MRT station.
The cafe is surrounded on all side by greenery. The inside feels idyllic and artsy with woven threads hanging on the wall. Dangling potted plants above the counter drives home the cafe-in-garden theme.
The Food
Fresh Clams in White Wine Sauce [S$19.60] is the perfect starter. The clams are fresh and there are no sand inside. The alcohol has already evaporated during cooking, leaving behind a so Irish sauce that goes exceptionally well with the toasted bread slices.
Whisk Breakfast Pan [S$24.80] is Whisk & Paddle’s version of the American breakfast. You get 2 eggs (poached/overeasy/scrambled/sunny side-up), smoked pork sausage, think cut bacon, sautéed mushrooms, corn on the cob, green salad and artisan bread.
Fruitee Waffle with Ice Cream [S$21.80] is only available on weekends. The soft and fluffy waffles is perfect when doused in maple syrup and eaten together with cut fruits and ice-cream (hazelnut/vanilla dream/swiss chocolate/mint chocolate/rum & raisin).
Besides all-day breakfast and brunch, the menu also features mains (available after 3pm).
There are all kind of drinks available. Non-alcoholic drinks include soft drinks, coffee drinks, milk-based drinks, milkshakes, teas, matcha drinks, flavored iced teas, italian sodas, smoothies, and fresh fruit juices. Alcoholic options are beers, spirits and cocktails.
