Signature Dishes
Recently, Mr Bean outlets across Singapore distributed discount coupons to customers and some of them were for the new Mr Bean Cafe at United Square, opened in July this year. Since there was a promotion of 3 set lunches for the price of 2, my family and I decided to head down for lunch to check it out. (Each set lunch costs $9.90)Mr Bean Cafe offers its standard items of drinks and pancakes. Apart from that, it features a new menu with soy-infused dishes, such as Soy Porridge and Soy Burgers. Using the discount coupon, we purchased 3 Set Lunch Specials (which we could not find on the regular menu) that came with a drink and soup. Apparently, the soup was Cream of Asparagus, but I couldn't taste the asparagus and it tasted like a dilute version of cream of mushroom. We were expecting soya bean for the drinks, but we were served warm flavoured tea instead. Apart from the Earl Grey tea, the other two were fruit infusions and they did taste pretty good.For the Set Lunch main dish, we had one of each of the three dishes available (each dish was served with rice and potato wedges). The Thai Basil Beef Meatballs were decent, chewy, mildly spicy and had a subtle hint of lime.The Miso-Mayo Fish Fillet was also pretty good. The grilled fish was soft and the sauce had a very strong miso flavour. They could have been more generous with the tasty sauce because without it, the fish was quite bland.The Grilled Tom Yum Boneless Chicken Thigh was probably the weakest of the three. The tom yum flavour was not strong enough and the chicken was not very tender. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it just didn't stand out as a dish.We absolutely loved the rice though. It was some form of butter rice, fragrant and flavourful. However, the portions of each dish were actually pretty small and probably insufficient to fill your appetite if you are a big eater. Therefore, we decided to order the Signature Soy Burger ($5.80). It was a recommended item on the menu and I was actually looking forward to try it anyway after seeing it on the discount handout. Indeed, the burger was delicious. The buns were very soft and fluffy and had a subtle soy taste to it as compared to a normal burger bun. The soy-infused sauce was very unique and every single one of us enjoyed it. (Fortunately, they drizzled the same sauce on the salad.) The patty had a weird texture - we were pulling out strands of meat from the patty - but it was decent and the sauce greatly enhanced the taste.Overall, I'd say that the new concept store is refreshing and the items of the menu are pretty interesting. I'm not sure whether the Set Lunch dishes will be on the regular menu (I hope they are!) but at least I'll come back to try the other soy-infused dishes.

I chanced upon this Mr Bean cafe at United Square and was surprised to see that it has seats for dine in and sells main meals other than their usual pancake and soymilk at their outlets islandwide. I was particularly drawn to their Waffle with Snowy Soy dessert set because i was craving for waffle ice cream. There was a choice of chocolate, raspberry or maple syrup for your sauce and i chose the raspberry because i like fruity flavour. The waffles was made upon order so I had to wait for about 5 minutes which i don't mind because fresh, hot waffle are the best. Costing only $4.80, i was surprised to see that the ice cream was of a substantial size and 2 pieces of belgium waffle was served. The dish was liberally drizzled with the raspberry sauce. Taking the characteristic of belgium waffle, they were much smaller in size compared to those waffle served at Gelare. The waffles was sweet, dense and doughy. The dairy-free soy ice cream has a strong soy taste and was not too sweet, which balance out the sweetness of the waffle and sauce. It was a very delicious, cooling and filling teatime treat.
