Prive

 Prive Cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating. And if you enjoy having with a good view of the docking bays with private yatch, ferries around, similar to Raffles Marina, this will probably fits the bill.

 Starter

Clam Chowder caught me by surprise in their squid ink bread bowl with bacon. I would have thought its another charcoal bread again if I have not read the menu details. Chowder was chunky, thickened by the use of Idaho potatoes. Celery, parsley and clam stock were also part of their ingredient.

 An interesting start to our dinner with a healthy salad. Broccoli was charred to slight brown on the stalks yet still retaining its green and water content without being too dry. What I like best was the healthy mix of virgina ham, baby gem lettuce, avocado, spiced almonds, spanish onions, coupled with blistered grapes and shaved parmesan, drizzled with sweet honey-garlic dressing.

 Main

Going into the mains, we had pasta and duck leg. Aglio Olio was meant to be spicy with bird's eye chilli included. Pasta was kind of under done and still abit away to achieve from the ideal texture. Chilean scallops , wilted spinach, smoked bacon and sundried tomatoes was in the right portion.

 Another Main Course we had would be the tender Duck Leg Cassoulet served with carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, Brussels Sprouts, Garlic confit and bacon.

 It tasted abit at a salty side but what I like best was the combination vegetables used and the fork tender meat in its luscious gravy. It would be perfect at a lighter taste.

 Dessert

It was the best Sticky Date Pudding I had so far, I swear. It lives up to the name as their signature dessert served with housed butterscotch and vanilla bean ice cream sprinkled with walnuts. The warm spongy pudding was awesome!

 Creamy chocolate served in a glass jar with summer berry coulis and pistachio biscotti. Similar to sticky date pudding, both desserts were filling and if you were to asked for my choice. I will cast my vote to their signature sticky date pudding without much consideration.

 The cafe is located at Keppel Bay, which is about 10 minutes walk from Harbourfront MRT station. The place looks like a different world from the nearby noisy and packed Vivocity. Here there is a spread of yachts anchoring around by the bay with expensive looking Condominiums in the background. Sounds like a place for the rich and famous.

 The cafe has both indoor and outdoor alfresco dining. Most prefer alfresco dining as it is quite cooling with the wind blowing gently as well as the nice view around. As the night falls, the place also looks quite romantic. But we decide to dine indoor as there is air-con and it is also less crowded compares to outdoor.

The cafe week dinner is a 3 course meal which consists of a starter, a main course and a dessert. For starter, there is 2 choices available.

 Boston Clam Chowder ($14++)
Served in squid ink bread with bacon, Idaho potatoes, celery, parsley and clam stock
The chowder is very rich and thick. Best have it with the crispy squid ink bread which balances the salty bacon's taste in the chowder.

 Charred Broccoli Salad ($17++)
A healthy mix of Virginia ham, baby gem lettuce, avocado, spiced almonds, Spanish onions, blistered grapes and shaved parmesan, drizzled with honey-garlic dressing
It is quite a light and refreshing, although I would prefer the vegetables to be chopped into smaller pieces with more dressing added.

Next for the main courses which also come with 2 choices.

 Linguine Aglio Olio ($18++ for spaghetti version)
Linguine Aglio Olio tossed with Chilean scallops, sundried tomatoes, bird's eye chilli, wilted spinach and smoked bacon
The pasta is quite tasty with the sweetness of the tomatoes balancing the spicy taste of the chilli and salty bacon.

 Duck Leg Cassoulet ($28++)
Duck Leg Cassoulet served with carrots, pearl onions, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, garlic confit and bacon
The serving is quite huge. The duck meat is quite tender and flavourful, although I feel that the sauce is a bit on the salty side. The sourness taste of pearl onions quite stimulate one's appetite.

Lastly for dessert, there is also 2 choices for us to choose from, although we are both quite full by this time.

 Sticky Date Pudding ($12++)
Sticky Date Pudding served with housemade butterscotch and vanilla bean ice cream with sprinkled walnuts
It is my all-time favourite dessert which I will always order when I dine here. I am so happy when I notice it on the menu. The story behind this dessert is that the co-owner of Prive used to operate a restaurant called Brown Sugar which served great Sticky Date Pudding. Since then it is a well known fact that it is the must order dessert here. The sticky date pudding is served pipping hot. It tastes sweet, soft and moist, although I could not taste the bites of dates this time round. A great well done dessert.

 Chocolate Posset
Served with summer berry coulis, pistachio biscotti
It is chocolate mousse, served in a jar. It tastes quite rich and creamy. However it is wasted on me who is a non chocolate lover. It tastes a bit jelat after a few mouthfuls.

Overall the food is not bad. Comparing with the ala carte prices, having the $35 nett for the set dinner sounds like such a great deal. The place is packed during the weekend. Getting the staff to refill the water takes quite an effort, although they do check with us on the food from time to time.

Meal after a long walk

We finally reach this place after a long walk from Kent Ridge. Although it is a weekend night, it is not very crowded. Anyway our host has thoughtfully made a reservation for us to dine indoor. The restaurant is quite big with both indoor and outdoor dining area. Bottles of water, plates and cutlery are thoughfully placed on the table. Just the right thing to have after a hot day outside.At the display counter, lies rows of delicious looking cakes and tarts. It makes me wants to head straight to

 Penne Alla Carbonara ($22++)
with tender chicken chunks, crispy bacon, button mushrooms,flat-leaf parsley topped with an egg yolk
The serving looks quite small in the bowl, about less than half. It tastes simple and great, as it does not taste jelat even after eating for sometimes. No wonder a lot of people order this when they come here to eat.

 Tuna Niçoise 10-Inch Stone-Baked Pizza ($18++)
with tuna, peppers, olives, capers, egg, tomato & mozzarella cheese
The pizza arrives after 20 minutes waiting time. Looks great on a wooden board, but taste is otherwise. The worst part is the tomato paste which reminds me of the canned version commonly found in the supermarket with its very tart and dry taste.

 Sticky Date Pudding ($12++)
with homemade butterscotch, walnuts & vanilla bean ice cream
I have read up in a blog that this dish is very nice. It seems the co-owner of Prive used to operate a restaurant called Brown Sugar which served great sticky date pudding. The sticky date pudding is served pipping hot. It tastes sweet, soft and moist with bits of dates. Seldom could I really taste date in a sticky date pudding. A great well done dessert.

Overall it is a great meal, except for the pizza. We have a bit of problems of getting the attention of the staffs when it is time to bill, even when there is not much customers about and we are sitting right in front of the cashier. Other than that, plates are cleared smoothly and ice is refilled often.
