D'Good Cafe (Ngee Ann City)
recalling the good experience we had some time at the start of this year visiting D'Good Cafe at Holland Village, we were somewhat happy that the creators of this concept opened a second store within the town area. like the first cafe, the store carries a strong influence on religious faith and good service. the theme of custom blend coffees also revolve around the ethos of D'Good cafe.
the design inspiration for the outlet at Ngee Ann City carries elements of the London Tube. from the metro station icons, the ceiling arches to the cobbled walls, the unit carries a British feel. the target crowd is diverse, just from the short time we were there, we saw patrons on a quiet date, a group of girlfriends having their get-together, lunch gathering for a young family with children etc. judging from the range of food that the cafe offers, this is no surprise. 
this joint carries some very good quality mains. not too big in portions, but with greater emphasis on texture and taste. we tried the "Ling" cod fish and chips, which has a very good batter, with fresh chewy fish on the inside. i'm not quite sure the purpose of serving the dish on a mesh tray though, because despite having a drip tray at the bottom, there's bound to be a rectangular oil mark left on the table. 
some very good pasta is also whipped up here. i recalled having seafood arrabiata at the Holland V outlet, and decided to go for Fresh sea prawn Aglio Olio today. the pasta is very flavourful, with a tinge of spice and generous servings of prawns. apart from these mains, one can expect traditional pancakes (served on a pan) and other bite-sized snacks to be available here. a tie-up with dessert chef Aki Watanabe for this outlet also means a great selection of cheesecakes to whet the after-meal taste-buds. 
finally, not forgetting coffee, which plays a big part to this cafe's reputation. you can check out our previous post which discusses abit on the custom made coffees, but we again went for the "surprise-me" option of taking their D'Unknown cold brew. this time, it turned out to be an iced-latte with some rose syrup, quite a refreshing mix. the main ambience of both D'Good cafes places emphasis on homely and casual dining, and maybe its a coming of age, but that's the way i'd like to spend weekends these days.
