Woke up late, and realising that I’ve forgotten to buy milk for my coffee, so I ended up heading downstairs to Percolate to have my late breakfast before continuing the day.
What I love about Percolate is their coffee. Their awesome white coffee. Those who know me well will know that I hate sourish/bitter coffee, hence I always go for latte. More milky taste. Percolate though, doesn’t have much more milk. But somehow everything just blended very nicely, giving off the rich espresso taste, which is neither sourish nor bitter, together with a milky aftertaste that doesn’t overwhelm you. Awesome coffee, awesome barista. (I do hope that they would have an even bigger cup though. The $4 cup is already 5oz and it’s not enough for me! :P )
This is my carb/sugar laden breakfast, lol. White coffee ($4), banana date loaf ($3.50) and a slice of pear hazelnut chocolate strudel ($6). Yup pretty expensive breakfast, I know, but it has been my mission for quite some time to try all their cakes/danish. Haha!
Their white coffee is as amazing as usual, and that banana date loaf is definitely something which I will order again. Banana taste is pretty heavy, but doesn’t make you sick of the taste towards the end. I can see the dates, but it doesn’t have the usual date taste when I bite into it. Instead it helps to make the texture of the loaf unique, and added some moisture into an otherwise would-be dry banana loaf.
The pear hazelnut chocolate strudel is not something to shout about though. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything fantastic. Its dense but not overly dry, and the nice touch of hazelnuts on top adds a nice nutty crunch. I couldn’t taste any hint of pear though.
In all, I’m pretty satisfied with this breakfast even though its slightly expensive. And that’s all the carbs and sugar I’m gonna have today! No more cake or bread for the rest of the weekend, lol! Now time to shop for some new clothes for Chinese New Year.
Ugh I hate shopping.
