Absolutely incredible breakfast! The chilli scrambled eggs at Indulge by the Bay were hands down the best I’ve ever tasted — perfectly balanced heat, creamy texture, and full of flavour. Served on two generous slices of toasted sourdough, it was the perfect start to the day. Great atmosphere and friendly service too. Can’t wait to come back!!

Beautiful meals! Both staff members were very welcoming and great to talk to . We were a table of 5 and we ordered 5 meals to share and fries! Soft crab bao buns were real soft crab meat and pork was delicious! Avocado smash was a large serving with fresh produce and highly recommended added bacon (of course) ! Will be back!

This place is a gem! Sometimes, doing the simple things really really well is the key. The service we received was so kind and happy, he made us smile . The coffee, both hot and cold were served very quickly and they were great. The food, oh the food! The food was amazing, so fresh and light in flavour. I had the Chilli Scrambled Eggs, it was quite unique with its hit of Vietnamese spice and flavour. The Crispy Roast Pork Bao was on point with its usual flavour explosion and crispy pork crackling. We sat outside in the fresh air, the only downside was constant noise from the traffic. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing food! We had the Breakfast Bruschetta which was so fresh & tasty! Finished strong with the chocolate mousse cake, also amazing. Really nice texture & beautiful flavour & was the perfect amount of sweetness without being sickly. Going back for the pies & vanilla slice!
