NAY.: long queue
I passed by this cafe on a shopping trip and saw a long queue. As a typical Singaporean, long queue meant good food hence I suggested this place to my friends for our last gathering. The food display was also a pulling factor, everything looked so good. Anyway, one friend arrived earlier, 6.40pm - and we got ourselves a table at 7.20pm.
On a flip of the menu, there was only 1-page of main course that you could choose from - and that was a variety of omu rice and spaghetti. I had the Lobster Bisque Soup Spaghetti and my friends had the Tomato Cream Omu Rice. The manager who jotted our order was thoughtful to inform us that the pancake would need 30mins to prepare.
Okay, a little drama began when we were ushered to our seats. 4 of us were allocated to this sofa seating, with low sofa and armchairs and table. It would be nice if we were just there for a coffee but we meant to have dinner and desserts - the low table and seats were just not comfortable. We signaled a wait staff and told her our preference to sit at a proper table (for 4) which they had just cleared. She told us 'No' and couldn't tell us why when we prompted her. Another wait staff came and gave us some funny explanations which we couldn't understand. We murmured among ourselves and that somehow got the attention of the manager and she helped us with our request.
My spaghetti was al dente, complemented with a rich savory base. Prawns were crunchy and cooked just right.
We requested our double pancake to be served right after our main course arrived hence we did not wait for long after dinner. It was served with a little butter cream on the pancake with a mini jar of maple syrup by the side. Pancake was spongy but it did not wow me - and it somehow reminded me of the fast food chain hotcakes.
