Old School Kafey, Haymarket

Craving of something like cafe food and something fancy last weekend. So, we landed at this quirky looking cafe owned by Thai. This place used to serve sweet and dessert only but now they also have savoury dishes in the house. We tried their toast and also spaghetti.

Curry chicken toast $19

This toast looks amazing. The bread was smeared with good amount of butter then toasted to golden brown yet inside was still soft. Also, the toast came with katsu chicken pieces lying on the bed of creamy omelette and some curry sauce flows on top of them. It is accompanied with baby spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes dressed with Japanese sesame salad dressing. This dish tasted pretty good actually.

Beef with pepper sauce toast $28

We also tried their black pepper beef toast. It was similar with the curry toast earlier, only the different was the meat and sauce. I still prefer the chicken curry one for taste and flavour wise. Somehow, chicken curry and toast blended much better together.

Aglio olio spaghetti with grilled sirloin $29

They cooked the spaghetti to al-dente. This wasn't just a simple aglio alio dish. It got a little bit Thai influenced. They added some basil and chili into this spaghetti. It was delicious and I also like the fact that they cooked the wagyu to medium-rare just what I like.

Boscaiola fettuccine with salmon $27

I found that their fettuccine was a little too sweet. Otherwise, it would be perfect.

Iceberg bingsu (L) $24.90

This cute-looking ice-shaved was so refreshing. Lychee flavoured ice with some fresh rock melon and watermelon. It was sweet and fresh at the same time. For the drinks, I think they were slightly too sweet, especially their butterfly pea coffee.
