Food review: Penny University - Popular cafe in the east

Penny University is a popular cafe located in the eastern side of Singapore. Located along East Coast road near to Katong 112, the cafe is well liked by the expats and locals living in the area.


The cafe is packed like a sardine can and you will be hard-pressed for a seat during the weekends. During the weekdays, the cafe is still rather busy and seem to be having an understaffed situation. The exterior of the cafe is inviting and is decorated with a small table and also various kind of aprons at the sidewalls.











Entering the narrowly walkway, patrons are shown to their table and will proceed to the counter after having made their selections.





The condition of their menu clearly has seen better days and is in need of a change. Coffee aficionados will have no problem navigating their coffee selection which is only providing the size of the cup and add ons that could be made.


The best tables in the restaurant will definitely be the 3 booths in the restaurant. The clear walls provides a nice back drop for pictures.


 The missus was in the mood to try something new and she went with the spiked muddy which came in a glass bottle with beautiful separation of the various layers in the drink. The top most layer will be coffee and the bottle layer contains gula melaka and milk. The chilled drink is interesting and makes for a refreshing drink on a hot day.


I went with the simpler latte which came with the standard flowered shaped latte art.


Our food took a long time to be served and my full english breakfast was served to us first after a 10-15min wait. The dishes are well presented but is slightly oily with a thin coat of oil remaining at the end of the dish. My selection of poached eggs was also too well cooked that the yolk was not runny anymore. During the poaching process, the chef must have used too much vinegar resulting in a slight sour taste to linger.

Full English Breakfast 6/10

The missus eggs benedict came 10-15minutes after my dish arrived which was too disappointing long. Missus eggs benedict was thankfully much better than mine. The hollandise sauce was well made and her eggs were not overcooked. The smoked salmon did not have a bad smell which was enjoyable. The disappointment was unfortunately still present with the sourish tinge from eggs as a result of too much vinegar during poaching.

Eggs Benedict 6.5/10



With the slow service and mediocre food, I am not convinced to pay the cafe a return visit. The coffee on the other hand is not too bad and may be a reason to drop by if you are in the area.


Food: 6.2/10
Service: 6/10
Location:
402 E Coast Rd, 428997
