Non-Watch Post: Chilling Out at Kommune Cafe & Bar... A Spot for Both Night & Day

[NOTE: The day time food cafe is closed for the time being. 
Just the bar in the evenings / night]

As fate would have it, I bumped into a mate of mine after some time and we got to chatting and I suddenly found myself on a Saturday afternoon, having a nice time learning latte art and sampling some of the makan at his great chillaxing spot at Tiong Bahru, together with some interesting, young bloggers in Singapore. 

At night, it is a bar with some serious beers(a familiar word, artisanal, was used when sharing about 'em) and some of the harder stuff and in the day, it transforms to a nice cafe where you can pop by for a nice meal. So kids and the family for the day, and a night out with the gang for proper drinks when it gets dark :) 

KOMMUNE Cafe
3 Seng Poh Road #01-01 Singapore 168891 
Cafe opening hours: 10am to 4.30pm Tuesdays to Sundays. Closed on Mondays 
facebook / instagram: kommune_sg

so my take on all of it? for me it's definitely worth further visits and if you are keen on exploring a nice spot for breakfast / lunch / brunch or just have a nice cup of coffee or chai latte, do swing by and check out what's there. will share more on why together with the pics below. 

starting with the environment then...

lovely bright and spacious seating areas both indoor and al fresco...

the other side of the room

and what do we have here... hmm that's not coffee... 

so what's for breakfast? 

ok on a more serious note... i NEED MY COFFEE! grounded coffee before compression

a good chart sharing on coffee facts before we got down to latte art'ing :)

and the end result! (ok this is not my creation)

Chief kommunicator Ken was our gracious host and shared about the cafe and special kommune original 

roasts worked on by coffee gurus [he sported a nice Rolex Explorer II by the way ;) ]

they also had some great chai latte... i sooo need more of this!

but then it was time for makan... there is a rumbly in my tumbly... oh but first pics have to be 
taken and review impressions written... putting pen to paper 

MAKAN TIME!! some starters for you? 

yes, why not? why not indeed... let's start with some yummy okonomiyaki
overall decent but a little lighter on the seasoning would work better for me
easy solution is to get the sauce on the side... that should do the trick

mac and cheese(every restaurant should have mac and cheese on the menu just in case ;) 
this one was great with crabmeat in it! i m having it again the next time i'm down

sammiches ~ 3 Little Pigs - pulled pork, bacon, bak kwa, onion jam, which was a tad sweet for my taste. 
there was also a salmon & egg sammich with smoked salmon, lumpfish caviar & egg mash

avocado egg and some goodness ~ open-faced Avocado Sandwich - avocado,
 apple, rocket, tomato, sunny side up... for avocado lovers of course

And then come the Mains... oh yeah... grilled chicken up front (most of the mains are in the $15 to low 20s range i believe)

some saba fish 

some shepherd's pie

but the tenderloin hit the spot for me... medium rare and decent tasting :) [note serving below 
may not be what they serve for  one order..as it was for a pack of us that was sharing] 

and to end off... you can have your pet dog chill out in the tables outside while you enjoy your makan.. 
[Ken's dog came by to observe proceedings]

and have the kids down(or young-at-heart folks ;) who can entertain themselves with crayons,
chops to draw all over the covered tables... encouraging creative expression which is cool!

and that's it. thanks again to Kenneth and the Kommune crew for hosting me. hope you enjoyed the foodie post and have a great long weekend folks(for Singapore readers). cheers, raph
