Selfish Gene Cafe

I had facial one Sunday and the bf decided to wait for me nearby.  When researching where he could go,  I realise there are MANY cafes at the outram park - tanjong pagar area.  We decided on SGC.

I got there around 11.40am.  There was a short queue outside but there was at least 1 table vacant.  I believe these people required more than 1 table (ie, party of more than 2) so they had to wait.

Food wise, we ordered the Valerie (for me), the Breakfast Plate (for the bf) and the banana cake (dessert).

The dressing used for the side salad for Valerie was awesome.  Sweet and sour, very appetizing.  This dish is sweet, rather than savory although scrambled eggs was included as the main item was a brioche with (I think) cream cheese and berry compote. Good if you like something sweet and sour-ish.

The Breakfast Plate included scrambled eggs, mushrooms, sausage and 2 slices of bread (or maybe it was brioche).  Also provided were packaged strawberry jam and butter.  I believe it was sufficiently filling.  The mushrooms were pretty nice, chewy, tender.

The bf ordered iced cappucino while waiting for me and I ordered an orange juice to share when I reached.

The orange juice tasted a tad too sweet, as if sugar was added.

Last but not least, the banana cake, topped with a few slices of banana and peanut butter drizzle.  This was highly recommended in online reviews and we can see why.  Extremely soft and fragrant (though I wish no artificial flavouring was used), the addition of peanut butter drizzle made the dish rather interesting.

Would I go back? Maybe but unlikely, because there are too many places to explore in the vicinity.
