 The Chocolate Lah Martini (SGD$20.00) was concocted from Valrhona Chocolate, Absolut Vodka, cream and marshmallow - a tantalising drink packed with punch and luscious richness.
KPO Hokkien Mee

 The signature KPO Hokkien Mee (SGD$16.00) - the more luxurious version of our local delight, cooked the traditional way with pork lard, laden with goodness such as prawns, squids, pork belly strips, and yellow and white noodles. Every bite was tasty, filled with very sufficient "wok air" (aka "wok hey") - the quality used to measure a good zichar dish. The noodles were springy, and there was enough gravy to keep the dish moistened yet not soggy. Cravings for this kicked in the very next day onwards.
Not-A-Ramlee-Burger

 Then Not-A-Ramlee-Burger (SGD$17.00) made its way to us, standing tall and bursting with delicacy within the toasted homemade sesame buns - the signature sliced Yorkshire pork was piled high with lettuce, fried over-easy egg, mayo, chopped pickles and a touch of Sriracha chili; fries were served on the side. It resembled the ramly burger in certain ways, but the Yorkshire pork upped the status of this huge burger. Tender, and exploding with different types of texture, making this an almost fun dish to devour; I especially loved how the distinctive "egg-y" flavour contrasted with the duller flavour of the pork, heightened by the Sriracha.
Wagyu Beef Cubes

 The Wagyu Beef Cubes (SGD$32.00) were so good, we had two plates of them. 200grams of Wagyu beef cubes grilled to perfection and served with sea salt - the meat was nearly melty, utterly succulent and juicy; the natural flavour of beef was marked with smokey hints, and was especially becoming when dabbed with a little sea salt. 
Chins 'n' Cream

 Dessert was the Chips 'n' Cream (SGD$14.00), another innovative addiction made up of vanilla bean ice-cream, house-made fresh potato chips and salted caramel sauce. Between the crisps and the coldness, between the saltiness and the sweetness, every mouthful was exciting and a new experience. The house-made chips were crispy and yet fleshy- you would taste the potato goodness literally. Most of us fell head over heels in love with this dish.

    A popular hangout place for the office crowd at dusk, the bar is very strategically located in the heart of town (next to Orchard Central). It not only serves up affordable drinks and the usual pub grub but some Singaporean favourites as well as Western classics.

     Thinly sliced luncheon meat chips that were deep fried to crisp. What’s not to like? The moment this was placed on our table, a whiff of this household classic was almost impossible to resist. Perfect grub to go with the ice cold beer. Salty, oily and tasted meaty. Totally addictive!

     Home made potato chips were the best compared to packet ones. These were served fresh, hot and crispy with the right amount of seasoning but this wasn’t all.

     I loved the wide array of dipping sauces that came with the chips – tomato salsa, chilli sauce, nacho cheese, mustard, mayo and ketchup – so we could experience different flavours within one dish. This would be ideal for sharing in a group especially if everyone has a different preference for dipping sauce – spicy, non-spicy, etc. Kudos!

     Crispy fried chicken wings that were slightly over cooked and tasted a little bland. I still prefer the ones from Ice Cold Beer and Muddy Murphy’s.

     Sir Roti John that looked pretty much like our standard hawker fare but this was apparently made with ground wagyu beef. There wasn’t a lot of meat in the egg mixture so I really couldn’t tell the difference in meat quality but it still tasted good nonetheless. “Better than pasar malam’s standard”, said the husband. I would have enjoyed it more if the baguette was toasted longer.

    While KPO Cafe Bar is an ideal place to chill out after work over beers and chips, the food are probably not on par with their price tags. Will I return again? Probably not.

    Chilling out at KPO Cafe Bar

    I have always been curious about this rooftop bar / lounge that shares the building with Killiney SingPost branch - KPO Cafe Bar. Been there at least twice so far, and still like the place.

    Interestingly, its name, "KPO", does not stand for the Hokkien version of being nosey ("kaypoh") nor does it stand for "Killiney Post Office" - it is actually the initials for its location, being situated at the intersection between Killiney Road, Penang Road and Orchard Road.

    So, this little cafe bar boosts of a totally chilled ambience - unpretentious, relaxing and simply-decorated. I always try to snag a seat on level 2 - the rooftop bar that looks more classic and romantic. The music may be a little loud though, but for the patrons, it was probably what we needed exactly - something to lose ourselves in. The DJs are pretty good. It provides the ideal place for friends to gather for drinks and bites,or colleagues to unwind after a long day's work.

    That night, Sylvia* and I decided to chill out there, and we were fortunate enough to get a seat at the rooftop balcony that I preferred. Outside here, music was not as loud, and we could chat over drinks, food and a cosy alfresco ambience.

    Besides my Mapu Cabernet Sauvignon and her Somersby Apple Cider, we shared a variety of snacks.

    First there was a Wasabi Prawns - tasted like they were stir-fried? Succulent and bouncy in texture, basked in the tantalizing flavors of spicy-wasabi - this is a must have for prawn lovers. They made for the perfect snacks as each prawn was shelled and bite-sized.

    The Pork Cubes -coated lightly with flour / biscuits, fried to a perfect crispiness. The overall texture is crispy, firm, but not hard. The taste was a light saltiness that sat well on the tongues, and I loved the bite-sized cubes as well, so easy to eat.

    decided to come here with colleagues after work,
    since our office is just opposite.. how convenient it is..

    they are 2 levels high, comes with indoor and outdoor..
    outdoor is being covered by canopy, once the sky is dark,
    they will draw off the canopy and u get natural wind..
    for indoor, you can enjoy the music from liveband..


    we ordered seaweed french fries, hawaiian pizza and alcohol..

    the seaweed french fries is nice when eaten hot..
    it's very crispy, the seaweed powder which is being sprinkled onto it is not salty..

     as for the pizza, i'm simply in love with it!

    being a cheese lover seeing the pizza is coated with cheese,
    and your first bite on it, the taste of cheese just "burst" out..

     would like to emphasize that this japanese whisky is a leftover bottle by colleague..
    so we didn't pay for it..
    1 thing about the bucket of ice given to us is that it comes in 1 big cube,
    which will take longer time to melt, so the taste of the whisky will not be diluted so soon.

    I can say this is an atas place, we left around 10pm. There is numerous branded car parking outside, valet parking available too. It is a cozy, nice and cool weekend chill up place.

    KPO Cafe on a Friday Evening
    2012-03-12 44 views
    I went to KPO Cafe just above Orchard Killiney Post Office on a Friday evening for a gathering with my business partners. I had to go down early as it does not take reservation and the place will be crowded on a Friday night. True enough, the place was packed by 8pm. The drinks are good but expensive, and the food is so-so except for its fries. It have the best fries!

    Although it being a cheese pizza, its cheese doesn't taste sickening after multiple bites but its aroma and taste continues to linger in your mouth after bites.

    Make sure to try this pizza when you drop by next time!

    I bet this place is a great place to chill towards the night as i can see people sitting by the bar counter with some beers even in the afternoon.

    Anyway, i recommend their breakfast menu as the portion is generous and it tastes great! (The toast, sunny side-ups & the omelette especially!)

    If you are ordering 2 drinks and 2 breakfast dishes, you can expect the whole bill to cost around $30-$40.
