November 8 Coffee & Company

"Where Coffee and Food Meets Good Company..."

Just as what the slogan states, it is a perfect place for gathering over coffee and food. Tucked in a corner along Upper Thomson Road, you will not miss this cafe. First the huge name, then the colourful wooden feel as you look into the place. As you enter, you will be greeted by cheerful and friendly staff. It is dimly lit but comfortable.

I always have cravings for waffles and I had a hard time deciding between a all day breakfast main or a waffle for dessert. Because it seems like their November Egg is their signature and I would not be able to finish both! And so.. my friend who saw me contemplating very hard, suggested to share the waffle! It is always nice to have a friend who knows you inside out! :) When my plate came, my first thought was "Wow!". November Egg came in huge portion because of the variety. But there was a purpose for each on the plate and to eat each with different combination gives unique taste. I liked the little surprise with different combination, especially the toasted bread with avocado scramble egg, tomato and salmon. Salmon was a little on the salty side but it fitted perfectly with the rest. Not too bad. My friend liked her Salmon breakfast too! Looks like the chef understands the taste of each items and to combine them on the plate in such interesting colour also liven our mood for consumption.

Next up - Waffle! A little crispy on the outside and the berry ice cream went along well with the waffle. Although I was already very full from my main, it still would not feel complete without dessert and the waffle did not disappoint me (and my calorie intake!).

Service was not too bad (with smiley staff) but when it got crowded towards 8pm, the food will get a little too long to be served. The good thing is the staff will give you a heads up and you can decide whether to wait for the food. The place is good for talks with friends and gatherings if you like a not-so-quiet environment. There is wifi in the place as well if you need to get connected.
