Get Delicious Meals Delivered for You and Your Dog – TWO X FOUR Cafe

Support your local pet-friendly businesses during Phase 2!

The dog-loving coffee making people over at @bellysbrew has recently rebranded and opened up a cafe – named TWO X FOUR.

Inspired by the success of their home-based business, cultivated by their desire to provide good causes for dogs– the owners of TWO X FOUR have worked hard to ensure the comfort of you and your pets here at their exciting new cafe.

Located at 2 Pandan Valley, Acacia Court #01-210 S(597626), the cafe boasts an attractive and bright storefront. It’s definitely not hard to miss!

The air-conditioned 2-level cafe is designed to best accommodate you and your pups. While dining in, you can even enjoy a great view from the cafe’s second floor. Plus, the cafe’s stylish use of metal hardware and wood provides a cozy urban chic interior that will definitely feature nicely in any social media post.  

Most notably, their feature wall is an excellent photo-taking spot for your dogs. Uplift and cheer up your pet’s mood by having them “fly”!

Unfortunately, due to Phase 2, TWO X FOUR is no longer accepting dine-ins. However, they are now offering their services through deliveries and takeaways! They have retained most of their original menu, making sure to provide options for both humans and dogs. We took a look at some of their enticing offerings. Do give them a try!

For the human menu: They are offering their Chef’s special Fish and Chips ($14.90), along with Creamy Carbonara ($12.90), Ah Long’s Chick ‘n’ Chop ($13.90) and Seafood Aglio Olio ($14.90). Do take note that this list is not exhaustive.

We were most impressed with their Seafood Aglio Olio which featured two large mussels, squid rings and prawns. We could barely see our noodles amidst all that seafood-y goodness.

Their creamy carbonara is a sight to behold, as well as a feast for your stomachs.

The items on their menu are relatively inexpensive. All range less than $20, making them an excellent choice for the days when you feel like splurging, yet desire to eat luxuriously. As a special treat, they are also offering 20% off all food items and 10% off all drinks from 19 May to 13 June. 


That’s not all! As a dog-friendly restaurant, they have also worked hard to provide a menu for dogs. Our office doggos, Dexter and Oolong, were given a chance to try their scrumptious variety.

We received their Bobby’s Signature Meatballs 5pcs ($5.90), Daisy’s Signature Meatballs 5pcs ($5.90) and Shepherd’s Pie 180g ($6.50). You can view the full list of ingredients and menu items down below. Each item of the menu has been accessed and made suitable for your furkids to enjoy!

The presentation and look of these doggy meals had Dexter and Oolong drooling with anticipation.

Bobby’s Signature Meatballs is made out of grass-fed ground beef, plain and all-natural yoghurt, egg and flour. Each meatball was perfectly portioned into bite-sized pieces that were easy for Oolong to consume.

Oolong enjoyed Bobby’s Signature Meatballs

On the other hand, Dexter opted to try the Shepherd’s Pie which is made out of sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, broccoli and ground pork.

For their doggy meals, you can also opt to add in coconut oil or honey for that extra Oomph!

Besides offering meals, they also have a selection of doggy desserts such as Salmon Egg Tart and Frozen Fresh Fruit Treats.

Dexter enjoyed the Shepherd’s Pie

Yum! For a small dog, he certainly ate his weight in pork and potatoes!

You can get both human and dog menu items delivered by placing an order online or via their Facebook account. You can also check out the full list of offerings through their social media accounts.

Treat paw-selves! Try out TWO X FOUR’s food and do your part to #supportlocal during these difficult times.

How to plan a great barkday pawty for your dog

We planned a birthday party for Milky back in July to celebrate his 2nd barkday & recovery from his entropion surgeries.

Planning a party for your doggo can be TOUGH. But since I’ve done this already, I’m going to detail my checklist here to make things as easy for you as possible! Here we go ?

Let the planning begin!

1. DETERMINE YOUR BUDGET

For us, we decided to co-host a birthday party with another Chow Chow owner whose dog’s birthday was the same month as Milky. Your budget will go towards:

Location – any min. spending mandated by the cafe?

Decoration – are you decorating the cafe?

Food – are you buying food for your guests, both humans and dogs?

Goodie bags – are you preparing door gifts for your guests?

Cake – birthday cakes for your dog?

For us, our budget was to spend below $200. This means that we can’t choose a location that has a min. spending.

Since I am co-hosting with another owner, I did up an excel sheet to keep things clear and transparent. You can use my template here!

You can duplicate the excel sheet to your own google drive here

2. DECIDING ON A LOCATION

We don’t drive, so we wanted somewhere nearer to home (west) for easy transportation. We shortlisted Turf Club since it was along Bt Timah and had a few pet-friendly cafes there, namely WOOFTOPIA & AH B CAFE.

Eventually, we settled on Wooftopia because I’ve been there before and since we would be inviting quite a few big dogs, we wanted a larger place. I also liked that they do not have a min.spend, but reserved the tables for us.

They have 2 areas – so the large dogs (Chow Chow) were kept inside that area whereas the other smaller dogs roam at the outer area.

This is how the outside seating looks like (source: google)

? Tips!

  • Use the FAVE app for cashback. Get cashback when you pay via the app. Just a note that the cashback can only be redeemed on your next purchase, so what you can do is to order separately.
  • If possible, celebrate on a weekday. The last I was there, they were running a 30% discount off their mains if you go on a weekday. It was really empty so I guess these promotions might help to pull in some crowd!

3. PLANNING GOODIE BAGS

The fun part – because who doesn’t love buying stuff for our pets? ? But it can be a logistics nightmare if your guests are on different diets and/or has allergies on certain protein.

(a) Do up a google sheet and get your guests to fill it in.

(b) Plan your shopping! I was on a budget so I hopped onto Fave (no, this article is not sponsored by them haha) and bought the $30 Perromart voucher for $10 … and used another email address since it’s only for new customers (I realised they increased it to $20; it was $10 when I bought it).

I bought Absolute Holistic treats and also got some dental treats from Happy Doggi (btw, Woof Agency do sponsor treats for goodie bags. You can sign up here).

(c) I bought these Kraft Paper Bag Ziplock Resealable Bags & Brown Kraft Paper Bags from Shopee. Total cost was around $12 after using my shopee coins – I packed for 20 – 25 dogs if I am not wrong.

Zanel (the other owner) was in-charge of decoration and cake! The balloons were around $15, but the cake was pricier ($95). We got it from Onicupcakes, who is also a friend and fellow Chow Chow owner!

You can see the decoration on the wall (just balloons for Milky & Rug’s name!)

4. HAVE FUN & TAKE LOTS OF PICS!

It’s very fun, but also SUPER tiring. Just imagine it as a kid’s birthday party and you need to make sure everyone is playing nice (whilst not peeing & pooping) and your human guests are having fun.

I would highly recommend that you have another person to help around, and invite peeps who know each other so that they won’t be too bored alone!

Let the celebration begin!

Planning a barkday party is both fun and tiring. But what I really love is the smile, laughter and running after your pets that makes everything worth it.

Just look at the boy with all his birthday presents – how blessed is he! ❤️

Milky with all his birthday gifts – what a lucky boy!

A huge thanks to everyone who attended Milky’s birthday party and being part of his life. It’s not easy being a pet parent, but the community and friendship makes everything better.

Have fun planning! xoxo

Sleeping after a long day of celebration; till the next pawty! x
