The Populus Coffee & Food Co is a new addition to busy café town in tanjong pagar. Situated just a couple of doors down from The Lokal. It is brought to you by the same people behind the Department of Caffeine.

The café was very spacious and pretty with minimalist interior. It was pretty much self-service where you will be guided to your seats with menu. After deciding, diners will proceed over to the counter to make payment.

There is a variety of food choice available.

While waiting for our food, we enjoy the peaceful and relax atmosphere in the café. Light music was being played throughout. As the yellow lights are being used to create a warm and relax environment, the photo does not turn out nice. Thus, I started playing with the effects.

Berryfruit Smoothie taste similar to the marigold strawberry yogurt drink. It was milky and fruit. The smoothie was a good blend of sweet and sour taste.

Slow Roasted Chicken leg was dipped in a light thai inspired red curry and parmesan stew. It was further topped with roasted chat potatoes, carrots, edamame beans, cherry tomatoes, lightly pickled cucumber, fresh herb, lime and Turkish bread. The fusion makes the curry non-spicy and slightly sour. The bread was toasted, making it very chewy. The bread soften with the curry while it soaked up the curry gravy.

Pulled Pork Grain Bowl consist of slow cooked pulled pork, quinoa, bulgar wheat consist of slow cooked pulled pork, quinoa, bulgar wheat and pearl barley. One can choose to top up $5 for more meat. The pulled pork was really fragrant and well-marinated. The mixture of wheat and barley gives texture and chewiness to the taste. It has slight sour taste due to vinegar being added in. I love the combination of the ingredients and the vibrant colours of the food.
