Black Castle Bistro at JB




Black Castle Bistro is not your typical cafe next door it serve Italian Mix & Match. Combining with Spanish food to enhance the cuisine selection. Black Castle is opened by Eddie Soh, the entrepreneur chef of the Taste Bugs group of restaurants and food services.

The interior look just like some English pub and what's more is they have a big projector screen for football lovers.  Sometimes they have live band. But we went on a weekday so there's no live band :(




The menu is filled with tons of food to order from and there's only so much which we can eat..

We order this Deluxe Combo which has : Beef, Lamb & Ribs. Can you believe that this combo only cost RM176 which is only SGD $58+ ??? 
Apart from the affordable cost, taste is equally important and it tasted so good with the dipping sauce.


One of my friend is vegetarian hence we ordered this bread & olives - RM21

I have a Chicken, I have a pineapple~~ Hmvp Pineapple Skewer! Sorry for being lame.
This cute looking pineapple skewer is a mixture of chicken and lamb and you will have to guess what you are eating as there's no indication. I almost puke when I got the lamb. Don't get me wrong that the food isn't good. It's just that I don't take lamb due to the strong taste. This feels like those yakitori skewer that I have in SG just that this portion on meat is so much bigger. This is selling at RM42 


Say Cheese!

Brawn and brains




My first post for my new blog will be about food! The special review will be a cafe situated at the old badminton court at Guillemard Road. Food is an essential part of everyone life and certainly breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Just the other day I'm suppose to meet my friend for breakfast and since I have an appointment around that area later part of the day I decided to explore cafe around sims and I chance upon "Brawn and brains" . The exterior doesn't look anywhere attractive but the interior, I fall in love. With the simple decor with grey essence, it look really comfy.

When you step into the cafe, first thing you will see is this big menu board for their food.


You can also proceed to their cashier counter to take a clearer look of their menu and order there.


While waiting for our food, some observation on the sitting area can fit about 40-50 pax including the bar counter near the door.




Food was serve within 10-15mins 

We ordered the popular "Oven Baked Molten egg with Smoked Salmon and Avocado" - $15.80
I like how they bake the egg but still leaving it runny with cheese drizzle on.. Yum Yum.. I'm salivating now!  ðŸ˜†

Other than their main course, people usually run there for a quick coffee with their deliciously bake croissants and bagels selling from $4.80 - $5.50 or you can get 2 at $8/- We ordered the " White Chocolate and Cranberry Pulla & Almond and Vanilla Bun " It wasn't to my liking though as I feel it a tad hard but it's still taste good for the Almond Vanilla Bun. Matching it with a hot chocolate ($4.80) makes my heart skip a beat 💓








Other than traditional coffee, they serve organic tea original or decaf, Italian sparkling soda, Fruit nectar and some freshly squeezed juices.

Verdict:
Cleanliness: 10/10
Location: 8/10 
Food: 8.5/10
Price: 8.5/10
Overall: 8/10 

It's a really nice hangout place over a cuppa or two and have a good brunch with your friends and I definitely will pop over again anytime!

Where can you find them??

Shifted from Ivianat.wix.com/refresh

Hello guys! If you have been following my blog at Ivianat.wix.com/refresh, you will know that it is rather mobile unfriendly. Therefore after much consideration, I have officially shifted to blogspot and I would appreciate that you can continue to support me here.
