The Executive Chef

Chef Adrian Toh brings with him close to 20 years experience in the F&B industry having worked for major F&B establishments. It was whilst working at Chjimes with Fan Hui Ling (Ling) that he got to know Ling and they became good friends.

When Ling decided to establish Flee Away Cafe with her two partners & invited him to come onboard to helm the kitchen at Flee Away Cafe, Chef Adrian Toh took up the offer. Together he & Ling came up with the Flee Away Cafe Menu 2015, featuring Le Char Kuey with 4 different Specialty Fillings as the Signature at Flee Away Cafe. Besides this Chef Adrian Toh & Ling also develop recipes on the Beef Hash Pie Tee, Tau Kwa Salad, desserts like the Gula Melaka Sago.

The Signature Desserts
Gula Melaka Waffle at S$8.50 - waffle served with sago, gula melaka, coconut milk.

Core Ingredients - Sago, Gula Melaka, Coconut Milk, Square Waffle.

Tasting Notes - The sago ball is drizzled with gula melaka & coconut milk. There is a distinctly sweet flavor from the gula melaka & coconut milk. The waffle has pancake-like texture with air pockets to give it a chewy bite, crispiness on outside & softness inside, & when you eat the waffle together with the sweet gula melaka & fragrant coconut milk it lends a sweet creamy sweetness & fragrant coconut milk aroma to it. The sago gives it that burst, & jelly like texture & balance the chewy fluffy texture of waffle. Chef Adrian Toh uses gula melaka in this recipe to lend an Asian twist to this otherwise western waffle dessert.

Signature Milkshake
Banana Kiwi Milkshake at S$7.50 - made using UHT milk, vanilla ice cream, fresh banana, fresh green kiwi fruit.
Tasting Notes - The banana fruit overpowers the kiwifruit to lend a distinct banana flavor. This milkshake is creamy due to vanilla ice cream used in this recipe. The flavor is full-bodied, lemak, stronger, naturally sweetness from the banana balancing the slightly tarty sourly flavor of the green kiwi fruit.

Happy Birthday Milkshake at S$7.50 - made using vanilla ice cream, UHT milk, birthday cake mix. The Barista blends the ingredients together to get the milkshake, & garnish it with edible colored beads to serve.

Tasting Notes - Has a distinct strong vanilla flavor, with a light tinge of cake flavor, but the vanilla overpowers the cake flavor, is lightly sweet, milky, pretty much a vanilla shake.

The Signature Tau Kwa Salad
Tau Kwa Salad with Grilled Chicken Sausages at S$12.50 per serving.

Core Ingredients include - Mixed green salad with chicken sausage, Tau Kwa, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, Alfalfa sprouts, fresh cut onion rings.

How it is prepared - The Tau Kwa is sauteed with grilled sausage, onions, Olive Oil, Soya Sauce to get that fragrant flavor. The Tau Kwa soaks up the flavor of the onions, Olive Oil, Soya Sauce to give it that appertising flavor.

Tasting Notes - The Tau Kwa is sliced in 3 by 1 by 0.5 inch slices, then deep fried till it is crispy outside & tender inside. When you eat the Tau Kwa on its own it is tender soft on the inside, very fragrant flavor on the outer skin as it is deep fried till it is light brown & crisp.
When you eat Tau Kwa with the chicken sausage the salty flavor of the chicken sausage balances the light tou fu flavor of the Tau Kwa. When you rolled the raw crisp Alfalfa sprouts with the Tau Kwa & chicken sausage, it gives you that added crunch & bite. The overall flavor is tender & smooth texture with fragrant flavor from Tau Kwa, salty savory flavor from chicken sausage that blends well with the tarty sweet cherry tomato & fresh raw crisp crunchiness from the raw Alfalfa sprouts. These 4 combination of fragrant sweet, savoury, salty, crunchy mix of flavors & texture, combined with the lightly bitterness of coral lettuce, balance by sweet crunchy raw ringed onions gives you an altogether appetising salad. The raw fresh onion oil gives you that slightly pungent rush to the nasal. The Tau Kwa give you that Oriental twist to the otherwise western salad.
