NYDC @ Bugis Junction

Its quite a coincidence on how I managed to dine at NYDC. I’m suppose to meet a friend at Starbucks, but instead he just went to the bookstore to check out the latest travel guide. And so, when we check back to Starbucks, it was packed. I don’t like outdoors since it was pouring. So, went straight to NYDC, since it’s the only place at Bugis Junction that sells deserts and cakes with a relatively affordable price.
And for the price for a drink and a Apple Crumbles topped with a scoop of ice-cream, it cost just slightly less than $20. Think it’s quite a good deal.
Service was great. What do you expect from a café of this size? Frankly, the service was way better than Swenson’s at PS. At least we are given decent seating and the service crew are conscious on our plain water. They offered to replenish our drink without our request. A plus point.
The menu looks interesting. To me. With nice layout and design. It helps to whet my appetite with the yummy-lickin-licious looking photographs.
The ambience is nice. Compared to TCC, TCC still wins hands-down. Partly thanks to their selection of music being played. Who stills listen to “Billionaire”? And Lady Gaga? Think its rather inappropriate. But the décor looks great and the brick walls. NYDC is quite quiet. We went there at about 3.40pm on a weekday, thus that might explain something indirectly.
Food-wise…
I’ve a lady Earl Grey with a scoop of ice-cream. The drink is nice, the usual taste of Earl-Grey tea. But somehow the “feel” is not quite there. Perhaps its due to the blend of the tea. If its stronger, than, it might be better.
I’ve had also an Apple Crumble with a scoop of ice-cream. The texture of the ice-cream is typical. The type you would expect from U.D.D.E.R.S and some other ice-cream shops. The taste is there, and so is the texture. The sweetness just hit the correct spot. YUMMY-LICKIN-LICIOUS!!!!!
My friend had a chocolate cake. Not sure of the exact name. And said its nice. With a tinge of chocolate. The usual sticky-feel, but not too much of the sticky-ness feel. Something that you’ll never get sick of. Nice! And its not too sweet too.
So everything is alright. Food taste nice. It’s a nice alternative from Starbucks and TCC. And the prices is somewhat in between. So, it wont burn a hole too much on your pocket.
The bill adds up to about 30 odd bucks for two people. Nice place for chit-chats and to rest abit after shopping at Bugis Junction.








I forgot NYDC is located at which level, but just a level below Food Junction.
