Review: Boufe Boutique Cafe

The word 'Boufe' is made up of BOUtique + CaFE, a creation started out by three men, housing both boutique and cafe under one roof. It was officially opened in February 2015 and has always been receiving great response thanks to its brillantly-selected venue - within the grounds of Phoenix Park. Phoenix Park is a heritage site of Singapore with beautiful colonial exterior and lush greenery. Though quite a bit of walking is required from the main entrance of the park, it is worth the walk as you can enjoy the splendid scenery along the way. The park is also located near Singapore's central business district.

The concept of the cafe - sleek, clean and chic - also helps to draw in many customers, including myself, as it makes it a nice place for photos, thus explains its population among fashionistas, social media users, and occassions such as day shots, corporate events, birthdays, and wedding solemnization. Though it has been a year, the focus of the cafe still remains as it had started out - dishing out high quality food and fashionistic apparels. This is definitely a cafe worth visiting, be it for the design of the cafe, for the food, or the fashion accessories and apparels.

#16: Even a snap of the simple table setting turns out good!

#17: I chose a window seat for some natural lighting.

#19: Strawberry Shortcake, $8. The BEST strawberry shortcake I have ever had with lots of sweet Korean strawberries (I probably got about 3-4 pieces) and one of the nicest cake that I have ever had. Everything blended well together with the right level of sweetness.
