Movember at Flee Away Cafe

Remember my previous post on Movember (Read post here), about growing a moustache during the month of November to create awareness in support of Men's health issues? I've found a cafe that fully endorse this good cause!


Flee Away Cafe was on my Instagram and I checked my instagram account, @chewyjas  hourly (Oops, later my boss think I'm not working) daily so I am sort of curious about their Le Char Kuey which is their specialty.

 On that fateful day, I saw how the staff were promoting on Movember with the props and felt that it might be a good opportunity to give them a visit.


There are plenty of these kind of moustache props to play around with and they've also got different designs. Took so much photos even before I start ordering. 


The bf looking sad. I used a different moustache design on him but he look so sad. I see already also feel sad. Must be too hungry! 


Stopped selfie-ing and let's see what to order. A very simple one page menu where the food and desserts are all in. No need to headache over what to eat.


Le Char Kuey explained! Basically it's the replace of a French Baguette with dough fritter. Very creative right? Le is derived from French and Char Kuey is simply the fried You Tiao in Chinese.



Le Char Kuey with Dry Laksa ($15.50). This is marked with chef recommendation. The good thing about eating this dish is that I need not worry about any laksa gravy staining on my nice top! The taste of laksa is not even being compromise and they really put in every ingredients you will find in a real bowl of laksa. Definitely a must-order dish. Thumbs up for the creativity and innovation. 


Salmon with Capers, Onions and Cream Cheese ($15.50). After eating the one filled with dry laksa, this tend to be more of a safe option. Nothing much to be raved about. Still good though.



Irish Cream Mud Pie ($9.50). This is based on the chef's recommendation sign again. Yummy dessert after the meal. It's made of chocolate ice cream with a bit of irish cream liquor and topped with white and dark chocolate flakes. It's yummy but I felt that the price is a bit too high for desserts.


The bf feeling happier after eating! :)


The whole cafe gives me a very cozy and happy feeling. Every inch of this little cafe is well decorated with old school items.


This sewing machine belongs to my grandma's generation! 


After eating, you can also shop at their "retail corner". You might just get to find that nostalgic toys that you've been looking high and low for.  


Maps for tourists are well stashed. 


Before we left the cafe, found this two cinema seats that were different from the rest overlooking the small road outside. I guess it's great to sometime slow down, take a break and enjoy.


Total damage was $40.50 for this meal. 
This cafe don't charge GST or Service Charges.
