Riders Cafe

Nested in an area just beside a stable, the naming makes a lot more sense once you reach here, and you start seeing people riding around on horses. Opened by Janice Yeo in 2007. A popular hangout place despite its out of the way location. Booking is most definitely needed as it fills up pretty quickly. Breakfast menu on weekdays ends before 11 am, the last order seems to be around 10:30-45 am. Weekends would last until
3 pm.

I can understand why people would hangout here, The ambiance was fantastic. The ceilings were high and the area was spacious. The natural light and the white walls really lit up the area and gave the location a really  relaxing and cheerful feel. I felt really at ease at the cafe as it was also far from any form of traffic.

 Latte ($4.50)

The coffee wasn't impressive. The weak latte didn't have much of a coffee kick to it. It was almost too bland, tasted mostly of milk. The foam was too airy too, it didn't have that creamy sensation which makes you want to have more, it just felt like it was in the way.

 'The Usual' with Scrambled Eggs, Back Bacon, Breakfast Banger,

Mushrooms, Tomatoes & Sourdough ($16)

A pretty scrumptious breakfast. The scrambled eggs were slightly too over cooked for me, i prefer the creamy ones instead, but it was pretty good nonetheless. Not much can be said about this but it was pretty good. What you'd find in it are pretty much "The Usual" things you'd find in a breakfast set.

 Ricotta Pikelets with Berries Compote & Vanilla Cream ($14)

A lemony, zesty and fluffy hot cake. This hotcake gives you a very complex mixture of flavors and texture upon your first bite. Its light fluffiness paired with the lemons and cheese would give you a refreshing yet sinful hotcake.

Ricotta Pikelets

The ricotta hot cakes at riders scored pretty high with the flavor point! But I can't really say that about its texture. It was very dense. Kinda sticky in your mouth but paired with the refreshing flavors of the lemons and blueberry compote, it was acceptable.

 Blackstone Benedict with Bacon & Tomatoes,

Poached Eggs & Hollandaise on Rustic Sourdough ($15)

A classic dish in most breakfast menus. A simple dish consisting of an english muffin (or any bread) a form of cured meat, a poached egg and topped with a classic hollandaise sauce.

 Blackstone Benedict

Blackstone Benedict 

This was pretty ok. The sauce was nice and smooth, buttery and it went pretty well with the poached eggs. It was well done, but i would've taken out the roasted tomatoes which they slid cunningly under the eggs. It gave the dish a surprising SOUR tang. It shocked me for a bit. But all in all, this was pretty good.

Riders cafe is a good hangout area for families, couples (which we saw a lot ) and friends. It's brightly lit area, calm scenery and cooling area (didn't even need air conditioning ) can really root you in your seat. The service staff were attentive and kind, so that's another + point to come back for. The food however was pretty normal, nothing to flaunt about. Pricing was steep to normal, it's what you'd find normally on any other breakfast menu.
