AEIOU Cafe - A Wall

AEIOU Cafe – King George’s Avenue Lavender

 

AEIOU Cafe is located along King George’s Avenue perpendicular to Lavendar Road, around Jalan Besar,. It has a very cute Dino as its mascot. You can find this little mascot literary at every corner of the cafe. I first notice it on the cup and then a wooden plate.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Interior

 

As I was chatting with a friend of the cafe owner whom helped to set up the cafe, I found that this little Dino loves Chocolate and it is signifying life, carefree and child-like so the theme is extended to the cafe and you can find colourful cute ornaments and cushy bright pillows with cute characters displayed throughout the space.

 

AEIOU Cafe - A Cosy Corner

 

The entire cafe is filled with lots of cute ornaments made from the oil drums. They have customise-made their cups and plates too. Lots of effort has been put into the every details and of course the food they served as well.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Mushroom Soup

 

I ordered a Mushroom Soup. It was served with 2 slices of Garlic bread which seems to be baguette. The Mushroom Soup was drizzled with quite some truffle oil and when served, I could smell the wonderful truffle aroma. The Mushroom Soup was slightly creamy and has tons of blended mushrooms in it. A very flavourful bowl of soup. The only complaint I have was there were some fibrous stuff in it that was a little unpleasant.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Osmanthus Jasmine Cake

 

I wanted the Yuzu Jasmine Cheesecake but was unavailable that day and so I settled for the Osmanthus Jasmine Sponge Cake. The sponge cake was awesome; soft and fluffy, lightly sweetish. It would have been perfect if the Osmanthus were stronger.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Cappuccino

 

Finally, my cup of Cappuccino. AEIOU is one of the rare cafe that chose to serve a dark roast instead of the medium or light roast. The coffee was robust with full body, low acidity and a nutty and nutmeg spice hint.

I revisited AEIOU cafe after its official opening with my Mom as they have their full menu up.

Good news for Vegetarian Cafe Hopper, AEIOU serves quite a good selection of Vegetarian dishes. And good news for Tea Drinkers, they have a about 2 pages of different Teas.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Spring Villes

 

We ordered a Side Dish, Spring Villes. We enjoyed this dish most among all our other orders. This is an adapted version of the Vietnamese Roll. It is a made up prawns, greens and interesting some brightly coloured edible flowers. It tasted great with the Sourish Peanut dip. It was absolutely awesome.

 

AEIOU Cafe - This Salad Is No Quack

 

We have a Salad too, “This Salad Is No Quack”, which is basically a Duck Confit Salad. The dressing for the salad is a simple olive oil. The flavours comes mainly from the oranges. A side Honey Mustard sauce was accompanied with a good portion of Duck Leg. It is very much like a Main Dish to me. My Mom enjoyed this but I find the Duck Confit too salty even when it was eaten together with the salad.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Moo-licious Cheeks

 

Lastly (technically not our last dish), we shared a Main, Moo-licious. It is a Beef Cheek with Tagliatelle Pasta with balsamic vinegar. The sourish Balsamic vinegar went well with the Beef but not with Pasta. We didn’t enjoy this dish.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Blueberry Lemon Meringue

 

Finally, it was time for dessert. Among the mainly choices, we have the Blueberry Lemon Meringue. The cake was a little too dense while the Meringue was icy, it didn’t melt in the mouth. The Lemon flavour was stronger than the Blueberry. I wish it was better balanced. Personally, I felt there are rooms for improvement.

 

AEIOU Cafe - Thai Iced Coffee

 

l tried their Thai Iced Coffee this round. I tasted like our Kopitiam Iced Kopi that has a slight sourish tinge.

AEIOU cafe has pretty interesting food selection on its menu which is a little different to the cafe scene. And also the cakes were unique in flavours. But I think there are still rooms for improvement.

  1. dear blogger. Just one thing to correct in your post.The picture depicted that you labelled as a ‘cappuccino’ looks more like a latte to me

    1. Hi Annonymous,
      Oh really?! Interesting. I indeed ordered a Cappuccino and not a Latte. Latte is never my cup of coffee. Thanks for your feedback.

      By the way, how do you differential a Cappuccino and a Latte from the look? Hope you could give me a few pointers.

      Cheers
      NAHMJ (Michelle)
