RaRa and Reddy Goes To The Village - Chock Full of Beans @ Changi Village

Chock Full Of Beans have garnered quite a following from what we managed to read online. They are known for their creative 2D and 3D latte art, but unfortunately, we don't drink coffee. Armed with an expectation and growling tummies, RaRa and Reddy paid them a visit one evening. Kiasu-rism ensured that we made prior reservation (just in case we had to wait! First world problem I know), but truth be told, unless you are planning a trip down here over the weekend, there is no need for kiasu-rism for dinner. They didn't seem too packed when we came by. Chock Full Of Beans is located right at the end of Block 4, one of the few old school blocks fronting the main road, they have both indoor and outdoor seating options, outdoor can be quite pretty during the day, but of course, only if you are heatproof and can live without airconditioning. Nonetheless, back to the food, they serve the usual cafe fare - pasta, cakes, pizza (pizza is handmade though). We had our usual Carbonara and customized our own pizza (yay!)

Spaghetti Carbonara with Poached Egg @ $17.00





The cakes looked promising, but we were saving tummy space for ice cream at Bunny and Pony, which was just a short hop away.


The Carbonara was pretty good, anything with an egg and runny yolk tastes better! But the portion was a tad small, would have been good if it was more on the generous side, but hey, the taste made up for the lack of size!


We customized our own pizza to have bacon (of course!) and mango (Reddy's favourite). Can't remember the tab on this unfortunately, but it was maybe about $19.50?


The dough is tasty enough to want to finish even the crust, you can taste that rustic homemade chewiness in each bite. Plus it's crispy on the outside!
