Bravery Cafe @ Jalan Besar – New Cafe review

New Cafe review today! Dad fractured his thumb last night so N was very nice to bring whole family out to cheer him up! Bravery Cafe Brought by the folks from The Plain, the decor is typical grungy Australia look and feeling. Slightly tarnished walls, hanging light bulbs. It’s a coffee trip so all reviews are on coffee. Overall – 8/10 Long black – much more acidic than regular long black but strong flavor. Flat white – Still short of my favorites like Nylons and Broers but still good! Mildly sweet, very slight nutty flavor despite being Meiji milk (usually only get this flavor with Greenfields milk).

Decently strong flavor although there is quite a lot of milk. Using Genovese beans. But personally would prefer it with less milk. They also serve water with mint leaves, lemon zest and cucumber. Good for palate cleansing …

The chef is from Uzbekistan and one of the servers is from Russia so be ready for out of Singapore dining experience. To celebrate Miss YY birthday, we started with the Borsch Soup ($13.80) – good for 2 to share! I still stick to my claim that Russkiy Dome’s Borsch Soup is one of the most authentic and ingredient-rich in Singapore! Refreshing without the sour cream, rich and satisfying with the sour cream. Next up – Pork Julienne ($15), the most popular mains with the patrons of Russkiy Dome. Love the tender pork, hand cut potatoes and the yummy Cream Cheese sauce with a dash of dill. Very rich dish that is also good for sharing. We also had the Chicken …
