Dal.komm Coffee @ Funan Mall - Unveils Its Fourth Outlet With New Menu Of Exclusive Offerings

Popular Korean coffee chain, Dal.komm Coffee launched its latest outlet at the newly opened Funan Mall, Singapore’s newest lifestyle and creative hub. To celebrate the outlet opening, there will be two exclusive outlet beverages, as well as new menu items, including a delectable selection of savoury bites.

Matcha Red Bean Latte 4/5

The Funan outlet features two exclusive outlet drinks, which highlights a special ingredient - Korean red beans or ‘pat', which represents luck and prosperity in Korean culture. We had the Matcha Red Bean Latte ($8.90), which pairs sweet Korean red bean paste with the slightly-bitter premium green tea in an unequalled classic combination.

Matcha Coffee Cube 4/5

Besides the celebratory red bean treats, the outlet also presents highly-anticipated additions to its beverage menu with the popular Matcha Cube series. A uniquely dal.komm creation, the Matcha Coffee Cube ($8.90). It combines the coffee-flavoured cubes which gradually melt into the creamy and milky green tea concoction below, adding to the beautiful intense bittersweetness, while keeping the beverage ice-cold and flavourful.

Diners can expect a variety of other enticing drink options such as the Matcha Chocolate Mint Latte ($8 regular/ $8.50 large), the Matcha Chocolate Mixture ($8 regular/ $8.50 large) as well as the refreshing and fruity carbonated beverages, Grapefruit Ade, Strawberry Lemon Ade, and Yuzu Citron Ade ($7.50 each).

Breaded Dory Cruffin 3.5/5

dal.komm will be padding up its menu with more delicious treats that are great for dining-in, or for a quick meal on-the-go. We had the Breaded Dory Cruffin ($10.90) which comprises a crispy baked dory fish. The fish is drizzled with sweet bulgogi sauce sandwiched in between flaky, buttery golden brown cruffin buns, and served with fresh greens.

Signature Crab Ebiko Croissant 3.8/5

The Signature Crab Ebiko Croissant ($9.90) features a flaky, buttery croissant filled with generous amounts of crab stick and ebiko, cloaked in luscious mayonnaise, and served with fresh greens.

Other exclusive meal items include the fiery Signature Ssamjang Chicken Cruffin ($10.90), and Ssamjang Chicken Pizza ($12.90), as well as the Ham and Cheese Croissant ($5.90), and hearty sandwiches (from $4.90).

Come August 2019, patrons will have the opportunity to experience Creative Technology’s newest Super X-Fi (SXFI) audio products at the dal.komm Funan outlet as part of a collaboration between dal.komm Coffee Singapore and the digital entertainment company, known for their cutting-edge audio technology.

MEMO @ Studio M Hotel Singapore - A Cozy Cafe Tucked Away From The Hippy Robertson Quay

Cafes within hotel premises have always sat with well me - the quiet ambience, decent food and excellent service. Not referring to those at the lobby that offers high-end afternoon tea, but a much less conspicuous setup such as the Tuxedo Cafes located within the Carlton Hotels, which remain one of my favourites. And I think I have found another one! MEMO at Studio M Hotel Singapore, which has recently revamped from a self-service deli to a full-service all-day dining cafe to includes your all-time favourite brunch items, pasta and mains, alongside sandwiches and salads.

Lemongrass & Turmeric Wings 3.5/5

Apt for any occasion is this what I would describe as a refined Ayam Goreng style Lemongrass & Turmeric Wings ($8). Thin crust and crispy skin, if you are here for their beers instead or coffee, then go for it.

Chum Chum 2.8/5

I tried one of their brunch items Chum Chum ($18), which to me seems like a dish created more for a hangover cure. Imagine you have streaky bacon on top of beef rendang, plus fried egg and chicken flavoured rice. For regular days, this is a tad too greasy for my liking.

Prawn Penne 3.8/5

Pasta renditions of our local prawn mee aplenty but I reckon MEMO's Prawn Penne ($18) is definitely one of the more memorable ones. The prawn bisque that lays the foundation of the dish is superb. Chockful of flavours, yet its consistency was unexpectedly light, flavouring the pasta without weighing them down. And the prawns, each individual slice was firm and succulent.

Seafood Casserole 3.8/5

The crustacean flavours are even more intense in Seafood Casserole ($22), centring a beautiful slice of barramundi, accompanied by prawns and potatoes. The nicely toasted sourdough is there for you to sop up the delectable saffron tomato sauce. It was a pity that the potatoes, carrots and celery were not being cooked down in the same sauce, which would have otherwise rendered much of its flavours into them.

Hern & Lemon Baby Chicken 3/5

While the Grilled Herb & Lemon Baby Chicken ($18) was pleasingly tender and well marinated with aromatics and spices, the smoky chipotle sauce didn't seem to gel well with the meat. I think even without any sauce, the baby chicken stands out on its own.

What's cute is that you could even choose a limited time only Star War print on your latte! A range of other beverages is available as well, such as Better Latte Than Never, which is flavoured ice lattes with interesting options such as gingerbread and chocolate cookie, as well as wines and beers.

In the heart of Robertson Quay, I love how MEMO is being tucked away from all the hippy spots, and it is just me, my companion and my food.
