{Media Invite} Weekend Family Breakfast @ Kakis

The long weekend is almost here!  Hang in there, folks!

And in case you are one of those who are not traveling out of Singapore but yet want to find an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, pop by Kakis Bistro & Bar.


We were recently invited to Kakis Bistro & Bar for their recently launched "Weekend Family Breakfast @ Kakis".  No, this place is not exactly a new kid on the block.  They have been serving dinner since November 2013 with a live band playing on weekends evenings (and I heard they are pretty good).

A hidden gem in the heart of Changi Village (really hidden as many of my friends do not know this place… or maybe we are "mountain tortoises :P), we were greeted with greenery when we reach.

Free parking :)
Loving these quotes.  Really.


The alfresco dining, together with the deco is what makes the place interesting.  Surprisingly, it was pretty cool with just the ceiling fans and the greens around.  The owners of Kakis wanted to make the place cozy and family friendly and that is why you will notice lots of spaces for the children to roam around.  And you know what?  They grow their own salads!





I really like that we are so near to the golf course area.  A very good time for both adults and children to rest our eyes and look far into the greenery, get some Vitamin D from the morning sun and of course, the air is definitely better with all the trees and plants around.


Let us look at the menu for the breakfast, shall we?

How interesting is this!  This is really useful if you ever need to order your own coffee at the coffeeshops / hawker centers - it's like an universal coffee-ordering language.

Here's the Detox Infused Fruit Drinks.  It is all natural.  Real fruits infused drinks with no colorings added.  

Of course, it's approved by D!  


Kiddy Pancakes (S$6) just for kids which D finished everything.  I felt happy looking at this plate of food.  If only the maple syrup was served separately because I can then decide how much of it goes in. Yes, I can be quite fussy at times.




Little Hero Big Breakfast (S$8) which I thought is reasonably priced.  The bread was toasted nicely and look at those cherry tomatoes - not some small little ones lor


Rosti Jumbo Hot Dog (S$11) is not something like what you get outside.  I believe they added onions, which can be a hit or miss with different people.  My boys will shun them but the big guy and I thought it was fine.


An everyone-also-know local delight, Nasi Lemak (S$8) with a chilli that did not disappoint.  B and I thought that the most important components of a Nasi Lemak are the chilli and the chicken.  Chicken was fried nicely and was flavorful which compensated the lack of the ikan bilis that most of us associate Nasi Lemak with.


Can you imagine E actually wanted the Nasi Lemak?!


One of the highlights of the event is the DIY your Super Kakis Hero Costume Contest, using recycled materials.  Materials were provided and we came up with the following:


Can guess who he is trying to be?


It was actually a milestone for the 2 boys.  Hardly those who like going up on stage, they were so keen this time.  Even though they did not win or said anything in the context of the contest, it was okay to us.  At least they willingly went up stage this time.



The children were all so cute!  Their words, their expressions, their gestures - they were all so priceless!

Open from 9.30 am to 1 pm on weekends, I think the best time to go will be in the mornings between 9.30 am to 11.00 am - that's us lah - the morning sun, the possibility of seeing golfers and buggies (children who do not golf will love to see them) and the morning fresh air will entice me to drive all the way to the East.  And if you really hate the heat, that's the period to go.
