Group Therapy Cafe @ Duxton Hill (Singapore) • 好友聚聚的好去处




Recently, there's this trend of Brunch culture from Western countries prevalents in the Asian countries. Brunch, a meal eaten late in the morning, combining breakfast with lunch. There isn't any specific timing to consume brunch as it is served from the morning till late afternoon (Available from 7.00am to 4.00pm).

最近,源至于西方国家的Brunch文化开始在亚洲国家盛行。Brunch是把早餐和午餐一起吃的
意思 (Breakfast + Lunch)Brunch的享用时间并不局限于早晨,直到下午你也一样可以享
brunch (早上7时至下午4时都能享用)




Brunch culture is still seen to be uncommon in JB, however, MissBom got this chance to find out lots of hidden cafe that provide Brunch in Duxton Hill, Singapore, where she had her graduation ceremony located at tanjong pagar. Been staying in Singapore for one and a half year, MissBom didn't have the chance to explore these hidden cool spots. Nevertheless, MissBom always believes that with the strong determination, you could achieve anything you want to! Take your time to explore new stuff and the most important thing is to enjoy life!

Brunch文化在新山还不普遍。然而因Miss 
Bom的毕业典礼在位于丹戎家戈的新加坡华乐厅举行,才有机会发掘隐藏在Duxton Hill的优质咖啡厅。虽然曾经在新加坡住了一年半,但那时总往市区跑,认为那里是购物和美食天堂的集散地而忽略了探索其他去处。Miss Bom一直秉持着这样的信念-只要抱持着那份心意,就一定能实现你想要的!所以慢慢地去发现新事物,好好享受生活!






Group Therapy Cafe located at Duxton Hill, a small hill located in Tanjong Pagar. Today, Duxton Hill has been conserved by the Urban Redevelopment Authority and now lie within the Tanjong Pagar Conservation Area. These restored shop houses resemble MissBom to Wong Ah Fook Street in JB. As It located on the second floor and their signage is pretty small, so you must be more alert when you're looking for it. 

Group Therapy Cafe位于Duxton Hill, 一座位于丹戎巴葛的小山。如今,Duxton 
HillUrban Redevelopment Authority的保留区,介于Tanjong Pagar Conservation 
Area。这些店屋是保留下来的古建筑,翻新后,让MissBom有一种置身于新山黄亚福老街的
老店风味。由于Group Therapy Cafe坐落于二楼,店面招牌颇小,所以要仔细找才行噢!





When I first step in to the cafe, the eye catchy signage and receptionist bar caught my attention! The cozy decor provides people with the warmth and comfortable feeling. Although the cafe is small, the owner made full use of the spaces to give their customers a comfy environment to relax. The comfiness of the Group Therapy Cafe is the best place for friends to chill during the weekend.

一踏进店里,抢眼的招牌和独具一格的柜台映入眼帘。店里舒适的摆设给人们舒服和温馨的
感觉。老板巧妙的利用狭小的空间,搭配了多元化的家居摆设,让顾客有宾至如归的感觉。
这舒适的环境非常适合朋友们叙叙旧,度过慵懒的周末。








Due to the good business on a Saturday, we were seated in a small corner. However, this didn't spoil our mood to relax in this cozy ambience. 

由于这是个客满的星期六,三人行的我们被安排坐在个小角落。然而,这并没有阻挠我们享受这舒服氛围的兴致。









Menu 

It's so considerate for them to offer daily menu to stimulate their customers' interest and to provide them with new experience of a variety choices of food. 

每日菜单是让顾客保持新鲜感的好管道,这样一来他们也能够享用不一样的美食,真是贴心!

Group Therapy Cafe has categorised its menu into three types, mainly are All Day Breakfast, Mains and Sandwiches. The three of us have ordered each dish from the menu.

Group Therapy Cafe的菜单主要分为三大类:全日早餐,主食和三文治。我们各别从菜单中挑了不一样的餐食来试试。





Sunny Breakfast Set

Sunny Breakfast is way too appealing with the thick french toast covered with 80% boiled eggs, cheese and bacon! This is undeniable that the appealing appearance and fragrance helped to increase your appetite! MissBom believes that every Western breaky lover would definitely in love with this Sunny Breakfast Set. 

厚土司上八分熟的鸡蛋,起司和培根,真是一份卖相非常诱人的Sunny Breakfast Set!这诱人的卖相和香味扑鼻的早餐,肯定让人食欲大增!Miss Bom相信每位西式早餐爱好者绝对对这爱不释手。




Japanese Soba Salad

As MissBom is a health conscious food lover, she chosen the Japanese Soba Salad that gives her an idea to be more healthy. Surprisingly, the portion of the vegetable is big and the soba tastes like handmade noodles, which marks a different from the traditional soba. The sour dressing penetrates the soba has given a unique taste. MissBom likes this dish so much because of the sour dressing, and this is able to boost your appetite. It is recommended for food sharing due to the huge portion.


由于MissBom崇尚健康主义,所以从菜单上点了Japanese Soba Salad。非常惊讶生菜真的给得很多,soba吃起来的口感也很特别,不太像传统的soba,咬起来反而有手工面的口感。搭配了微酸的酱料,让Japanese Soba Salad别有一番风味。因为偏好带酸的食物,这道菜恰好符合MissBom的口味。基于偏大的分量,建议多人一同分享。




Grilled Ham & Cheese Panini


Grilled Ham & Cheese Panini is a sandwich filled with swiss button mushroom, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and ham.Undoubtedly, this dish would be the ham and cheese lover's favourite! MissBom has already fallen in love with this dish! There're still different choices of sandwich to accomodate your preference.

(Extras) This dish is really photogenic! :D

Grilled Ham & Cheese Panini的馅料包括了蘑菇,番茄,芝士和火腿。毋庸置疑,这一定会是芝士和火腿爱好者的最爱!当然MissBom也非常喜欢这道菜!当然,三文治还有其他不同的口味可供选择。

(题外话) 它真的很上镜,单从照片看起来就觉得很可口!







Toasted Hazelnut Cafe Latte



You might find the name to be very complicated because this is the specialty drink in the cafe! And, MissBom would definitely have a try of this! The coffee tastes good, but MissBom found it a little too sweet.

乍听之下,你一定会觉得这名字怎么这么复杂,因为它是店里的招牌饮料!MissBom当然不可能放过尝尝它的机会!咖啡的味道不错,只是对MissBom来说有些偏甜。






Overall, Group Therapy Cafe is a cozy cafe with their tasty food is certainly worthwhile spending time with your friends here.  

总的来说,Group Therapy Cafe舒适的环境和美味的食物,绝对值得你和三两好友一起渡过美好的时光。
