Went to brunch at Marie's Lapis Cafe at Bedok North Street 3. We love it that they welcome dogs at their sheltered outdoor tables. (There are only two tables of 4 chairs each.) There were pre-dawn rains and it was a supberly cool morning at 24°C, which made for a most comfortable brunch outdoors.
I was there for the mee siam. That was delicious. But do note that Malay mee siam and Nyonya mee siam taste significantly different — because of the rempah. Malay mee siam tends to be more robust. I like both iterations, so no issues.
The table also ordered a serving of chap chye, and one-dish meals that come with rice — ayam buah keluak, and beef rendang. These dishes are flavorful, but not fiery-chilli-hot. It'd be super suitable for people who don't much chilli. We requested for sambal belachan and got three portions in the cute sauce dishes. Our friends don't take the fiery-spicy chilli. The husband and I do, and demolished it all.
If you have a firm date and timing, do book a table at the little restaurant, otherwise you might be disappointed. The walk-in queue can be as long as a 45-minute wait. As it is with small bistros, their logistics aren't the smoothest, especially on packed weekends when the kitchen is overwhelmed.
