Fuel Plus+
a cafe that is located away from everything else requires strong word-of-mouth referrals and a ton of social media sharing. and a hipster cafe that has earned the approval of our friend who'd prefer local hawker food to cafe food any day deserves special mention. located at Morse Road in Telok Blangah, at the foot of Mount Faber, concept of this cafe is pretty much a pasta and burger place. there's brunch offering and craft beers as well, so there's certainly something for everyone..
the exterior of the cafe (once you find it) looks kind of like a heartland public housing shop, but the interior sports a clean-cut, Scandinavian themed design that is brightly lit and perfect for a chill-out afternoon. the menu is largely a Western offering, but includes tastes of Asian food such as curry and Tomyum flavours. the store is alot busier in the afternoons than in the evenings, probably implying that their brunch menu caters more to the lunch crowds. 
we tried the Chilli Double Crab pasta which includes crab meat mixed with pasta in a creamy chilli crab sauce. one unique thing to mention is that several of the pasta dishes use either Fettucini or Pappardelle pasta, which is something different from most places. the pasta is really good, with the creamy sauce giving that ample spicy kick. we also tried the Fettucini Carbonara that was not too creamy and had a generous serving of bacon. the pastas gave us the confidence and the curiosity, to try the Tomyum pasta on the next visit.. 
there are other mains as well, with another crab dish being one of their signatures. this soft-shell crab curry is essentially toast, potatoes, tomatoes and a pair of soft-shell crabs immersed in a pot of curry. the curry is actually quite flavourful, but somehow, the dish somewhat felt like a starter more than a mains. the recent inclusion of some American dishes are perhaps more welcome, where we totally enjoyed the honey baby-back ribs that was juicy yet tender. 
i kinda learnt a classic lesson in upsell marketing for the drinks, when i noticed that most tables would have ordered at least one of their signature Fuel Ice Teas. it's literally iced tea albeit a little pricey, but that's what happens when you take something normal and repackage it. i went for the bottled beers instead and found my favourite Hawaiian Great White beer. not many places have this, so that was a welcome surprise. in all, Fuel Plus may be a little out of the way, but it has a pretty strong menu with some well done dishes. A very homely chill-out place indeed.
