SUGAR!!!!!

As you can tell by the MULTITUDE of exclamation marks, this is going to be  a post that I'm going to rave so much about because it's me guys, I'm like this. Take a deep deep breath in and let's go into the wondrous world of SUGAR.

I stumbled across this little blog post (which I'm desperately trying to find back because I need to credit you) which introduced a lil' old app that seemed pretty interesting and that it was having some sort of extra bonus gift exchange for signing up and it also had the word CAFE in it, so I just jumped into the fray and downloaded, signed up for this app  called sugar, which seemed promising.

DISCOUNT on cafes? FREE EXTRA BONUS CREDITS for joining (that month)? Cousin Kimberly coming to Singapore in a few days time? Eh, I thought, why not give it a go. I'm not too keen on apps that promise "good deals" or "FREE" because the last time I tried, it backfired on me with the extra hidden amounts, but this app seemed pretty promising.

Downloaded it and decided to give it a try when Kimberly came over!

The app is basically a discovery, discount deal app which you can actually *SKIM* bring down the prices by inviting your friends to click and skim the product so that it becomes even more cheaper than it already is. SHARING IS CARING LOL. However, if the deals are good, you might want to be nimble on your fingers because they can be snatched up pretty soon.


Well, you can only use ONE deal for every place you go to. There are their requirements written on the products like *weekdays only* or *one sugar coupon per table* or *DINE IN only* and if you do manage to hit all the criteria and the product is still available, BUY IT AND GO. CAFE HOPPING TIME LULULULULUL.

Cafe-hopping aside, this app provides many many MANY choices of food/drinks/entertainment places wherever you are and because Miss Libra is as bad as me when it comes to deciding ANYTHING or going "anything/i don't know", this app really proved it's worth as I found myself scrolling through good deals of food places from cafes to even rock climbing.

Just to give it a go, us girls decided to give this app a try whilst cafe hopping. Found Penny University's eggs benedict on a sale at only $5.00 and since I had extra credit in my sugar app, PLUS the fact that it's EGGS BENEDICT MIND YOU, we hopped on a bus and headed down to Katong to redeem our FREE BRUNCH.


Mein gott, it was crowded on a MONDAY LATE AFTERNOON and I was flummoxed at the sight of so many people crowding the cafe - perhaps I miscalculated but we found a dandy little corner for us to sit and eat. Headed to the counter, showed her my sugar app and SIMPLE AND DONE. The counter staff was super nice AND FRIENDLY and the entire process was just touch and go. I expected extra hidden amounts but na-da.

SIGH OF RELIEF the social anxiety cat lives to see another day.


Ordered ourselves a meal of Eggs Benedict with a side of salad and turkey ham! Yum! I've never tried Penny University's eggs bennys' so I was wee a bit excited on how everything was going to turn out. Partially a little bit scared whether the portions will be shrunk because we cheapo lol. You scoff and shake your head but it's happened before alright!

Kim ordered drinks and we waited for a bit before the Eggs Benedict arrived! Woohoo!


Glazed over with light hollandaise sauce, the eggs looks really appetizing, nuzzled nicely on a slice of turkey ham and thick lovely toast, sided with salad that looked a little rough on the edges but drizzled generously with salad topping sauce. (I say that because I have no idea what sauce they used)


EGGS VERDICT? POACHED TO PERFECTION! Yolk oozed out beautifully and went pretty well with the toast and turkey ham! A hint of sourness, salty and sweet from the hollandaise - deliciously edible!

***we found it a little bit difficult to eat on a tiny little ledge so the moment other people left, we went to their tables. don't judge us alright hahahaha, it would've been fine with the ledge but it's a wee bit difficult to manoeuvre with all our bags around.


I'd give these Eggs Benedict a 7/10! The toast was a little hard but overall everything we pretty munchy together and thumbs up for the perfectly poached eggs! I always give a sad tear drop whenever i find my eggs overcooked or undercooked lol so thankfully these eggs - PERFECTION.

The entire experience of using the sugar app was definitely fuss free and everything was simple to use. No hiccups for me that I am extremely pleased with.


Simple. The app is completely free and you can top up money for credits - though I think you do get  a $10 credit for joining. Sign up and ta-da! Just scroll through your app and no matter where you are, Sugar will find your something interesting to do/eat/drink.

With no hidden costs whatsoever, this app is definitely a wondrous invention. Stayed tuned for my other blog posts for another cafe we hopped onto for a free meal (lol bloody basket cheapos) and till then, stay awesome possum.
