Non-Entree
(Followed from Friends Facebook feeds)
650m from Farrer Park MRT Station

 *Some of their flavors available*


Non Entrée Dessert Cafe 204 Rangoon Rd, Hong Building, 218451
Non-Entree as the name suggest, are essentially skillfully and creatively thought up desserts, re-imagined as classic Entree dishes commonly had in Singapore. Very local flavors, deconstructed and represented as popular home town dishes.
Ordered On:
11May2018
Singapore Breakfast SGD13.90

 Honey Mango bursting "Yolk" edible egg shells, virgin coconut "whites" crispy butter toast with Hainanese kaya parfait, gula melaka "soy sauce" and cinnamon "pepper"
 *Looks exactly like the original. Flavors are as described. Could have been a larger portion but the technicality and work required to assemble the dish is quite the challenge. The flavors are okay together, but conceptually strong.*
Kopiko SGD12.90
Coffee infused whip, chocolate spongs, dulce de leche, iced coffee crush, kopi bubble, served with a side of "You Tiao"

"Friend says nice. - M.L"
*The You Tiao is essentially a crispy churros served over Kopi O Gaooo (Strong Asian Black Coffee with no sugar). So unless you're a fan of straight up black coffee, this may not be the dessert for you. Really try to get a bit of every elements as that's where I suspect the pop rock surprise to be at the bottom. Not for me, but friend says nice.*
Pandan Waffles SGD9.50
with a scoop of homemade gelato/sorbet of choice.
Crispy fluffiness, drizzled in maple syrup.

*Pretty standard fair waffles priced about the same anywhere else. To standard and I guess a basic staple in most dessert shops. Nothing really to wow over. The Coffee Gelato was good and coffee flavor is one of the rarer finds*
Additional order of Gellato
(White Rabbit Flavor and Choc Cookies and Cream) 

*White Rabbit Flavor was spot on. Enjoyable at first, then it became a bit much.*
Fed 4
Value 3.5/5
Food 3.5/5
Ambience 4/5
(Its a throw back to old school. Loads of decoration pieces, including the furniture are a throw back to the 80s early 90s. A mix of hipster modern with the old school nostalgia. Their Good Morning Towel Menus and dessert themes go well together)
Service 3/5
Conceptually very strong and interesting with their rethinking of traditional local eats. Its a great throw back for locals and a good place to bring guests to first try the savory versions of the dish before moving on to the creative sweet versions. I would return to try their re-imagined dishes as well as try their dessert 'cakes' on display. 

Portions are a little small and are on the pricey side. Cakes going for slightly under SGD10 a piece and mains at around the sub SGD14 range. Overall experience is still quite fun to try the unique dishes. The old school colorful plastic seats (not-pictured), thou nostalgic aren't as conducive for dining. However the rest of the blend of old school and new generation do work quite well.
