In a last minute decision to go out for breakfast which turned into brunch, out of the nearby places, Three Monkeys stood out as somewhere to spend my Sunday morning at. It’s right on the corner, with plenty of parking nearby. It’s very quaint, painted brick, like it belongs outside, it’s a small cozy café, but it was bustling for brunch time. We got seated in the back patio area, which was again, very cute and cozy. Ordered was the Beets and Thyme Salmon, a Sweet Monkey and a Vanilla Cronut. I had the lemon grass and ginger tea, which was very spot on with the salmon. It came out like a work of art and was so yummy, the flavor matched the presence. It was best getting a little bit of everything on one forkful, the salmon, the thyme, the egg and potato rosti. The Sweet Monkey delivered just as well, the roti was crunchy and soft, and all of the toppings went well with it, nothing over the top that masked the others, it just worked. The Vanilla Cronut was good; yes, I’ve had better ones, both for the purpose of having a cronut, it did it’s job. I didn’t catch our waitresses name, but every single person here was more than friendly. All of their menu items look creative and tasty. I eyed some of the burgers other tables ordered, they were good portioned and looked good. And skimming over the lunch menu, it definitely is a place to come back to. I think I read that breakfast is all day here, but don’t quote me on that one.

Nice little cozy café with very nice food. We are well attended once we walked in although all staff seems busy at that moment. The Coffee is better than those big coffee chain but you cannot expect speciality coffee grade(proud Mary, 5 senses, st Ali, etc) — but it satisfy my caffeine dose for the day. Food(4 stars) — I’ve ordered Porky Pig, myself with an Asian background I am very picky with Pork smell and how they cook. Three monkey cooked this tender soft n caramelised with sweet tamarind. The salad at the side compliment it well. Jeng

I read about this new café in the local paper and it’s promise of cronuts and decided to check it out. The venue itself has such delightful décor, with an outdoor seated garden area out the back. Although I would consider it to be a small area, I could easily see it becoming the next popular café option in the area. I ordered the Porky Pig: a homemade roti with a fried egg and twice cooked caramelised pork belly. Whilst I was waiting for my order, I had a massive case of food envy and whiplash everytime I turned my head to see what delicious looking, and wonderfully arranged food the staff were carrying out from the kitchen. My order came out, and my goodness, it did not disappoint. The pork belly was tender and oh so divine, and the small thick roti had a beautiful flaky exterior. The baked goods cabinet displayed an array of goodness, but I honed in on the cronuts. Tossing up between the vanilla and chocolate option, I ordered the latter. The cronut was dense and had a chocolate filling that oozed out of its layers. Whilst it wasn’t the best I’ve had, it was still good. I will be holding the next girls catchup at this place for sure so that they can share in my new found happiness.
