Like all living organisms that evolve to survive... a recent visit to Coffee Nations showed its lastest evolution in its menu.... well it now has set meals! Yeah...the main thing where most singaporeans like me look out for when I step into any restaurant or cafe or eatery... (set meal = cheaper and more...most of the time that is.)
And from what I observed, the set meal definitely didn't disappoint me. One of the best deals will be the All day Sausage meal going at $13.90. The meal includes the soup of the day, a sausage platter (choose from 3 sets worth about $10.80 when ala-carte), a side dish (between potato wedges or coleslaw) and a Coffee Nation Classics. +$1 if you wanna a smoothie or a frappe. (You choose the classic from the drinks menu...not those standard one cup house coffee thingy)
ANd yes that was what I ordered.... the All day Sausage meal....i chose the Taste of Europe Platter, a chef recommendation...the sausages were relatively huge and come in a pair. The skin is tight and the meat is tender, very full of taste indeed and if I'm not wrong...it's German. The wedges are good, though I asked for my usual ketchup when presented with chili, thank goodness I didn't arrogantly say, 'take the chili away...i only want ketchup...' cos the chili is a much better choice with the sausages than the ketchup. The ketchup overwhelms the taste of the sausages while the chili is a smooth companion. The dish comes with salad too...the usual greens...good and healthy.
Other set meals include the All day Sandwich meal at $12.90 and the Light sandwich meal at $8.80 for the hungry but slim body keepers.
My companion tried the Coffee Nations Hot chocolate and as described by the menu...it's as dense, as thick, as warm and as delicious. All at $4.50. A good pick. (Some may think it's a little tat sweet...but I'm a sweet tooth keeper. So yup...if you are one too...that's a lovely creamy choice.)
Yesterday's cake of the day... the Blackforest cake was heavenly...it has a little alcohol taste at its first bite though I'm not sure if it contains that and it leaves a perfect not overwhelming and not sticky, but good chocolatey feel in your mouth. It was indeed salivating to think of.
If you are in the midst of a smoothie craze, try the mango smoothie at $5.80....very very smooth (granted that I hate those whereby I can't even suck up anything through the straw becos of those huge chunks of ice, this one is smooth!) and icy cold. An excellent choice for a hot hot day.
And with a closer look at the menu yesterdaey, i'm delighted that a nice cup of coffee is easily affordable from $3+ onwards...unlike my impression of coffee being at $4 to $5 and above at most cafes.
What's best... service charge is there...but NO GST. heh heh heh.
The latest evolution is definitely one that I welcome and hopefully there's even more to come!
Once again...you can spot Coffee Nations at 17 Bali Lane. Have a great time there with your family, friends, loved ones or your laptop!
