Following the success of its three outlets in Jewel Changi, Tanjong Pagar, and ION Orchard, café nesuto has opened its newest branch at Marina Bay Sands. Situated facing the Singapore River alongside its cosy interior, here’s what we think of what they have to offer.
As we first entered the cafe, their line-up of cakes stood out. Apart from the stunning visuals, the cafe also presented refreshing flavours like Matcha Red Bean, Yuzu Raspberry, Japanese Goma, and more.
Cakes at café nesuto start from S$15 per slice, and flavours can vary as everything is baked fresh daily.
We first got the Sautéed Clams in Cream Sauce, which carried a heavenly garlic aroma and kicked off a great start to the meal. However, if you are not a fan of strong flavours, you might want to sit this one out as the ginger notes really come through.
On to the mains, we ordered the Scrambled Eggs & Sour Cream Foam on Sourdough Toast and Duck Ragù Pappardelle.
The Scrambled Eggs & Sour Cream Foam on Sourdough Toast came in picture-perfect form—a soft scrambled egg on top of crispy sourdough, garnished with green onions. The eggs were well-cooked and not tough at all.
Meanwhile, the sourdough toast had a crispy outer layer, yet still carried the perfect softness to soak in the scrambled egg remnants.
Not to forget the Duck Ragù Pappardelle, the star of the whole meal and our favourite dish from the experience. Its tomato flavour blended with aromatic truffle oil enticed our palates from the get-go, and we found slightly peppery accents throughout the dish.
The pasta dough added to the appeal with great texture and a wholesome bite—café nesuto’s pasta makes you crave for more.
Finishing off the meal, the Pandan Coconut Kaya Butter French Toast was an MBS-exclusive menu item we had to try. Although meant to be a savoury dessert, the French Toast was surprisingly sweeter than expected. Regardless, its sweetness was not overpowering but rather a pleasant surprise.
For those looking to stop by just for a drink, we tried their Kyoto Uji Matcha Latte and Muscat White Oolong.
The Kyoto Uji Matcha Latte leaned towards the bitter side, so we would recommend it for seasoned matcha drinkers. Meanwhile, Muscat White Oolong featured fragrant oolong with hints of Kyoho grape, evoking a mellow and fruity flavour.
A tip for those planning to dine here would be to always make a reservation beforehand, as they’re constantly full, and can approximately take 30 minutes to an hour for walk-ins. It’s also best to sit indoors, especially during the rainy season, as the rain still blows into the outdoor seating area despite the overhead shelters.
Overall, café nesuto carries high-quality flavours at reasonable cafe prices, and sets itself apart with its unique but delectable flavouring.
café nesuto proves to be a place where you can slow down and enjoy good food in a beautiful space. If you’ve had a tiring day or are simply looking for a small escape, this cafe with a view is the perfect spot to treat yourself.
