7Kickstart Museum Cafe
The Singapore Art Museum is having somewhat of a renaissance of late, as more families are now stopping by to immerse themselves in some of the themed exhibitions such as edible art or children's art. In the museum also houses one hipster cafe that is positioned with a twist, serving local fusion brunch food.
7Kickstart Museum Cafe is decorated somewhat like a vintage classroom, with long tables for group discussions, chalk-boards and self-service drinking water that you can fill using science lab beakers. The food itself is pretty much creative, from many local-influenced western food, a range of waffles, to their signature ice-dripped coffees. Having quite a following, a second outlet is now opened at the Singapore Management University. one good example of their fusion dishes would be the specialty Liu-Sha French toast. Practically a thick slice of toast with salted-egg yolk and custard flowing out of its centre. with the craze for all things salted-egg these days, we found this particular one not too over-powering and well blended with its drizzle of condensed milk over it, to give it a sweeter taste. Other similar fusion dishes would include the Orh Nee waffles and its assam-infused nonya curry grilled dory (only on weekdays). we went for the weekend brunch and tried their other breakfast classics, such as the Royale Classic Benedict which is essentially a salmon eggs Benedict with a sweeter apple-yuzu hollandaise sauce. we also tried the Portobello with eggs which was made up of 2 sunny-side-ups laid over portobello mushrooms and served with hash browns. this is one of the few vegetarian options that is available at this cafe, which makes it a plus for group meetings with people of varied dietary needs. and then special mention for their coffees. the cafe is famous for their ice-dripped coffees, with 7 different blends of cold-brews to kickstart your day. we went for something of slightly higher coffee intensity in the form of the Brazilian Yellow Bourbon ice-drip coffee that left us a little high on caffeine. I think their coffees are an acquired taste, as you'd read several mixed reviews online. if you ask us, straight-up, their iced chocolate drinks came out top, even the kids loved it. In all, this is a quiet place, good for discussions and has a solid range of artisanal dishes to choose from. 7Kickstart Museum Cafe 71 Bras Basah Road #01-03 Singapore Art Museum Singapore 189555 Opening Hours Mondays & Tuesdays: 8 am to 8 pm Wednesdays to Fridays: 8 am to 10 pm Saturdays: 10 am to 8 pm Sundays: 10 am to 6 pm The first cafe in the country to serve ice-dripped coffee? |
