A Relaxing Sunday at Riders Cafe

I came across this place while surfing the internet for places to go for brunch. This place is really hot and you have to book in advance. We first went there on 7 November, and again last Sunday on 12 December, this time without making reservation. We waited for about half an hour, but it was worth the wait.
Riders Cafe is tucked in inside Fariways Drive, off Eng Neo Avenue, where Bukit Timah Saddle Club is located. So we get to see jockeys leading their horses to the stable, and there is also a place for pony ride for kids, for a fee. And there are ample parking spaces too.

The breakfast here is really good. Unlike the sourdough at Jones the Grocer which we just went, the bread here is soft and not overtoasted. And unlike Spruce, there are no mozzies here, and the staff which take reservation is so much friendlier. But best of all is the natural and tranquil surrounding and the nice ambience and view from the cafe.

Despite the many horses that trot to and fro the stable, Oliver and Heidi were more interested in the cat below, and kept wanting to play with it. The cat though, was quite aloof, and went up the deck of the Stable Club members-only lounge. Safe in the knowledge that both of them couldn't come near.
