Woodshed

Contrary to popular belief, there are still new cafes for me to visit. I was surfing the net, chanced upon Woodshed located in 204 Rangoon Road and decided to head down one Thursday evening. It was a 20 minute walk from Farrer Park, just down the stretch from Jewel Cafe.

I've seen photos of Woodshed once or twice on instagram, but nothing more than that. I remember thinking to myself that the door of Woodshed reminded me a lot of Windowsill Pies. When we stepped in, the place was empty and we were the only customers. The place was very nicely decorated, but immediately thoughts of whether the not-so-great quality of food was a reflection of the lack of crowd.

Boy, was I surprised.

The service was impeccable, the design of the place was beautiful, the big breakfast set was big enough and the fruity waffles were moist and had a hint of citrus. The truffle fries actually tasted like it had truffles. They also provide free wifi!

Potato Head Folk

The last time I was in Bali was five years ago and all I wanted to do was surf all day and laze on the beach. It's been awhile since I've been to Bali, and friends tell me that Potato Head is one of the must go places for a chill out time.

Potato Head Folk just opened in the hipster enclave of Ann Siang, and the dining experience made me more inclined to book my next holiday to Bali.

The waiting time to get a seat in the restaurant at Level Two was an hour, so we had our dinner on the first floor. It was like a burger joint experience, and you'll get to see the chef prepare your burger if you're seated at the bar counters.

For our mains, we opted for the Baby Huey ($20) which came with Prime 150g beef patty, cheese, lettuce, ketchup, pickles and spiced mayo and a side order of chicken wings to share. The Sherbie Hancock, a citrus sherbet lemonade drink, was our beverage of choice.

Menu from Three Buns.

We couldn't make up our minds on whether we wanted the rich chocolate pot heads, or the zesty lemon pot heads so we got both. I'm typically not a chocolate person, but it was just so smooth, sort of like chocolate tau-huey (what an auntie description but yes, it was just like that). I preferred the zesty lemon flavour better as it was tangy and refreshing.



This is the restaurant on Level Two, with the layout depicting a living room. Love the vibe, the eclectic art, hanging decorations and the wait staff in hawaiian print tops.





The Citrus Crush - Gin with lemon, lime, grapefruit and citrus sherbet.




Unknown to me, level three features a by reservation only drinking bar called Studio 1939 and a roof top bar! I'll be back to check them out.
