Hey guys! Kayden here back with another review! This time I will be reviewing the Forage cafe! I have seen this cafe pop up numerous times on my Instagram stories and as food reviewers, Ice and I had to go try it out.
Forage cafe is a honey themed cafe by 13 honey which is a local bee farm here in Singapore! The cafe sticks faithfully to this theme and it is evident in their beautiful logo, their signature waffles, and drinks that come with a tiny bottle of honey!
Ambience
Firstly, Forage cafe is located in Simpang Bedok which is very obscure and not easily accessible. Upon entering the cafe, you will notice that the space is quite cramped and can be noisy during lunch hours as well.
Next, when Ice and I visited Forage cafe, there was an issue regarding the power supply, causing electricity to be periodically cut off which affected the cashiering machine and kitchen. It was very weird but let’s just hope it was a one-off incident.
Food
Chilli Cheese Chicken $17
It is so so good! This dish was recommended to me by 2 friends and indeed it did not disappoint! The chilli cheese was so robust yet not overly jelak (cloying). The honey in the bottle provided added a unique twist to the whole waffle yet not clashing with the chilli cheese.
The fried chicken inside the waffle was crispy yet juicy and the overall presentation was definitely on point. Perhaps the only gripe we had is that the waffles can be a tad more crispy.
Turkey Ham & Cheese $17
The Ham & Cheese pairing seemed to be lackluster as compared to the chilli cheese. Same waffles, same honey but the waffles were missing that oomph from the spiciness present in chilli cheese variation which resulted in a less complex blend of flavours. This dish is definitely good though if you are unable to take spiciness.
Honey Cafe Latte $5.90
A small bottle of honey is provided to be added to the latte as shown in the image above. Sadly, after adding every drop of the honey, the latte tasted like a regular latte.
Service
Order is made at the cashier but food will be served to your table. Nothing to rave about, typical cafe service.
Conclusion
I like the honey concept of the cafe which is really unique but the obscure location is definitely off-putting. They recently opened a second outlet at Bencoolen street so you may want to check out that location instead.
The waffles are good, especially the chilli cheese variation but I can’t say the same about their pasta which I heard from various sources are very meh…
All in all, go for their waffles and enjoy the honey themed concept and interior of the cafe.

![[Full review] It’s been quite a while since I wrote a review 😅 hence here’s a short one on ShuKuu Izakaya, which we went on my birthday dinner!
Are you finding some Izakaya restaurants with good food to have with your drink? Maybe you can take a look at this review first ❤️
[Rosti mentai] was one of the highly recommended fish on google review. However, it wasn’t our favourite. I feel like the rosti wasn’t charred enough to have the fragrance and the mentai sauce was a bit heavy after awhile 🥲
[Gyu Ponzu] is basically a lightly seared beef with ponzu sauce, and surprisingly it actually tastes quite nice! The beef was on the tough side but, the sauce makes it really refreshing and gives the beef an interesting take!
[Hotate sashimi] here is one of my favourite hotate sashimi! It was really fresh and sweet, and I made Kayden take a bite even though he doesn’t like raw food, and he thinks it’s pretty good too! Highly recommended if you take sashimi!
[6 pc Oden] is slightly disappointing. The soup wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. The oden tasted just ok-ish too~ I think there’s nicer oden with delicious soup out there.
[Bacon scallop] is another highly recommended dish! The scallop is wrapped in the bacon and grilled. Thus, the fragrance and umami from the bacon oil is being infused into the super fresh scallop with its own sweetness. The best dish we tried tbh. Highly recommended!
[Buta minced pork cutlet] is basically their homemade minced pork cutlet which I find it quite… normal? The seasoning of the meat is on the salty side, and the minced meat was not put together to form a patty that has a very good texture and bite, unfortunately.
