Caught up with some friends last weekend and we decided to check out Clove n Honey along Logan Road at Stones Corner. With the numerous amount of cafes nearby, I have to say that I didn't really notice it much but was happy to go and try out the food.
Recently the hospitality industry has been booming and it was lucky that we booked ahead for our table of six because the cafe was almost full by the time we got there. Menus were provided we were to order at the counter. The menu had a few classic dishes but it was the fusion options which really stood out for me such as roti, teriyaki and kaarage.
Our drinks didn't take long to arrive. I had my usual skinny cappuccino and he had an iced chocolate. Without asking for mine to be extra strong, it was still very strong and quite bitter whilst not that creamy, at least it wasn't very acidic. Dr L's iced chocolate though was also quite rich but milky and had a nice sprinkle of chocolate powder on the top too.
Shaking things up for the morning, Dr L had the Honey French Toast which comprised of banana bread dipped in custard, fresh whipped cream, fairy floss, fruits and nuts with lemon curd and maple syrup. It was very colourful and whimsical, grabbing the attention of everyone on our table. We were expecting a fairly fluffy kind of honey toast but it was quite dense but not overly rich. The dish itself had quite a lot of components and was thankfully quite fruity without being overly sugary. He liked it and it was a nice change from the norm.
Not feeling too adventurous, I opted to have my standard eggs on toast with a side of avococado. The toast was fresh and well toasted, the eggs were poached to result in a runny yolk but was a little overcooked. The portion of avocado was small, especially given the price of the side. It was however fairly tasty and ripe. Next time I'll definitely have to try the breakfast roti dishes.
