In HA now, so order food to be delivered to the office for lunch. I had the mala “no meat” pasta, was really good, fine blend of tomato and mala taste.
My colleague had the cottage pie and like it too!
Definitely ordering again!

Lovely spacious Peranakan-style cafe with the sweetest staff ever, ideal for both chilling and working. Prices are a steal considering the location (near Dhoby Ghuat MRT) and spacious air-con environment.
Everyone from Uncle Steven, Kelvin, the manager and supervisor were so kind, warm and welcoming. Came here for lunch (the miso salmon was delicious and value for money at only $12.80 for two big pieces, with potato mash and fresh veggie), and stayed the entire afternoon to work.
Kelvin and Uncle Steven were so so kind to keep bringing us water, their signature sambal chilli, and even replacing my tea bag for free when he realised that my tea was getting diluted. Never experienced such hospitality in Singapore before, and we felt so welcomed despite staying from 1pm till 7pm, and Uncle Steven even went to re-arrange tables for us so we could access the charging point.
The cakes were amazing too and very reasonably priced ($4.50 per slice), we had 3 Yuzu cheesecakes at one go, it was moist and light and a good balance between sweet and tart. Ondeh ondeh cake is also very good with the pandan, gula melaka and coconut flavours coming through well.
This is also a social enterprise hiring people with special needs, hence every dollar you spend here is contributing to a good cause. Very heartwarming experience, my second visit already and will definitely be back! 🙂

Had a delightful dining experience over some wonderful and hearty fare! Prices are extremely reasonable, really decent portions and not to mention that the service staff are attentive and detail oriented.
Notwithstanding the fact that food and pastries really are a bang for the buck! Highly recommended.

Just had reunion dinner with my nephew today.. It was a pleasant surprise that The dinner was very nice and the service was very good and staff are very attentive.
Last but not least, we bought few slices of cakes back home. The ondeh cake which cost only $4.50 per slice was so much better than the one that I had tasted in one cafe which cost more.
I can’t wait to taste othe cakes tomorrow..

I visited The Social Kitchen earlier this month. It’s Singapore’s first social enterprise cloud kitchen that aims to help the underprivileged pursue a F&B career.
A massive plate of fried bee hoon topped with two types of ngoh hiang (meat roll) and crispy prawn crackers. I must say the fried bee hoon wasn’t oily. But the pork filling in the ngoh hiang lacked the flavour and oomph I was expecting. Prawn crackers were crispy and not oily which was good.
They hire staff that are from low income families, single mums and persons with disabilities. So come down, have an affordable meal that will help to empower the livelihoods of others as we weather through the pandemic and recession. 🙏🏻
Get 1-for-1 on mains with Burpple Beyond. You can order their food for delivery through GrabFood and Oddle too.

A new cloud kitchen concept located in the YMCA building at Dhoby Ghaut, this spot houses well-known local F&B brands under one roof and helps out the disadvantaged communities by hiring people with disabilities, single moms and low-income families.
Pop by for lunch and try the Sour and Spicy Handmade Dumpling La Mian ($12.90) from Ming Fa, Sir Raffles Platter ($39.90) from Gim’s Heritage, Lactonoodle in Laksa Soup ($13.80) from The Noodle Factory, All Day Breakfast ($10) from Y Cafe, Paper Salt Baked Chicken ($16.80) from Pin Si and more!

I’ve never had a sweet tooth. Dessert doesn’t excite me the way a really well-made plate of Wanton Mee does. But once in awhile, a really stunning slice of cake, or an incredible bowl of cookie dough ice cream can really make me sit up and go HOLY WOW.
And this innocuous beauty of a galaxy cake from Boufe did exactly that. Located at The Social Kitchen (a social enterprise cloud-kitchen concept providing employment to underprivileged and special needs beneficiaries), Boufe is 1 of 8 heritage brands housed at the brand’s first cloud kitchen. Beneath its galaxy exterior is a tasty trinity of calamansi jelly, honey genoise and white chocolate yoghurt mousse. A must try!!!!

This Ngoh Hiang platter from Gim’s Heritage (you’ll commonly see their prawn, fish and squid based snacks in the frozen section of your supermarket) is super delish, and The Social Kitchen has other versions of their traditional Five Spice Meat, Prawn, and Fish rolls from $19.90.

The Social Kitchen at level 4 of YMCA Orchard opened with a social cause, helping those person from vulnerable community, providing food and skills to them.
So as you come here for their foods, you also in a way supporting their social cause. Please do give your support if you are nearby here looking for some meals.
They have both western and local cuisine here. For their laksa which is about $10, I personally love the curry; which was creamy and tasty.
