What's long and lush and inviting? That's none other than Greyhound Cafe, of course. Housed in a long structure with 100-seater capacity and adorned with greenery as part of its decor, this popular trendy Thai cafe has been in Singapore for a few months already.

I wasted no time getting to know their desserts, drinks and service. The crew was rather friendly, but the manager provided the most personable service of all. Menu comprised of a good variety of Thai dishes with an Italian twist. Oh, by the way, do you know that this cafe evolved from a fashion brand in Bangkok?

In a dilemma over the Classic Chocolate Cake and Mille-crepe Mango Cake, I asked for recommendations from one of the staff. He suggested the former, so I tried the Classic Chocolate Cake (SGD$9.80), drizzled with rich chocolate sauce plating by the side.  The cake was nicely moist, with lovely chocolate taste but not too sweet.

It went perfectly with my Hot Cocoa (SGD$5.00), which fortunately (or unfortunately) was a lot milkier in taste than I had bargained for.

I also tried the Longan Juice - this was sweeter in comparison with the Hot Cocoa above, but I liked the dried longan fruit at the bottom of the drink.

Overall, an interesting place for my business discussion, and a stunning one at that. I shall be delighted to return to Greyhound Cafe to try the other dessert that I had been eyeing, as well as some of those delectable-looking Thai dishes on the menu.
