Cheap and Good $10 Weekday Lunch Set
2014-03-12 142 views
Was in Bukit Merah Central to check out this new cafe on a weekday. The cafe is small, simple and plain, with not much decor. The cafe was quite full during lunch time with office executives. They had a very value for money $10 Pasta Set on weekdays and also an Executive Set at $14.50. The cafe does not charge service charge, so all prices are nett. We chose the Pasta Set. Each set comes with a drink and a soup of the day or salad. Both of us had the Chicken Aglio Olio and Carbonara respectively

Each set comes with a drink and a soup of the day or salad. Both of us had the Chicken Aglio Olio and Carbonara respectively and I chose the salad while my friend chose the soup of the day which is the tomato soup. The salad is normal while my friend liked the aromatic and thick soup.

 We both had the Iced Tea which is very nice and refreshing! It was the right drink in a really hot day!

 The Chicken Aglio Olio is nice and slightly spicy, but it kind of tasted quite oriental to me.

 I liked the Carbonara pasta, surprisingly it was very fragrant and nice and not too creamy as I had feared it to be. In fact, I couldn't stop eating my friend's Carbonara hahaha! Next time, I would order the Carbonara instead for sure!

 In conclusion, the pastas are nice, flavourful and well cooked, and I particularly liked the iced tea a lot! For a meal like this, it is definitely value for money at only $10 nett. Definitely a good lunch choice and great on the pocket as well!

Classy Brunch in the Heartlands!
2014-01-20 77 views
It's located near the Bukit Merah Public Library. From the interchange, just cross the bridge, walk straight, cross the road to block 161 and walk under it. It's just a short walk.Pan Delights is a very small café/restaurant. The atmosphere inside and outside is a big contrast. One would feel that it shouldn't be in the heartlands and should be in town.Furniture is simple with wood and metal as the main theme so it's rather dark.The board at the counter could do with a better decoration though.

Pan Delights is a very small café/restaurant. The atmosphere inside and outside is a big contrast. One would feel that it shouldn't be in the heartlands and should be in town.

Furniture is simple with wood and metal as the main theme so it's rather dark.

The board at the counter could do with a better decoration though. The walls are too bare so I think a few photographs of their food would help a lot.

The menu is quite cute and unique. A few thin papers of different lengths are fastened to a wooden board with a metal fastener. Fits with the theme of the restaurant!

Plus, there's neither GST nor service charge! Yay!

The mains were not available when we were there at 1:30pm.

The food we ordered arrived at about 2:15pm. So they have to do something about the long waiting time.

Truffle Fries — $7.90

Well, "truffle" is quite in trend nowadays. It's strong in smell but quite okay in taste. The amount of cheese powder is not enough. The white sauce should be tartar sauce? Nice combination.

Pan's Toast — $7.90

Honestly, when it arrived, I was a bit shocked to see it. But maybe it's because I didn't read the description properly. Anyway, it's a thick piece of palm-sized toast. The egg taste isn't really there and the edges are quite hard. They served butter which is good because margarine is not food so I'm glad. The mixed berry sauce is sweet and sour, very nice but barely enough for me to eat with the toast.

Pan's Breakfast — $14.90

It looks like quite a spread! The sausage is quite big and juicy. The toast looks quite sad and soggy though. The scrambled egg is fluffy. The salad is crunchy. The bacon is oily but yummy as it's not overwhelmed with salt!

Pan-Cakes — $7.90

Small and cute, the pancakes remind me of the ones in Little Pancakes, but they're not as pretty around the edges. The honey they used is not very sweet and sick and the pancake also gets the bacon taste, very interesting mix and it's rather delicious! The pancake itself tastes quite nice and fluffy too!

Hot Cappuccino — $4.50

It's pretty and looks thick. My friend said it's quite nice even with only one sachet of sugar.

Overall, it's a nice place without crowds of people walking outside. However, there were quite a few people who looked inside through the full glass panel due to curiosity! Quite funny. We left the place at 3:05pm as the last customer. They close at 3:30pm before opening again at 5:30pm during which they will serve the "mains" in the menu.

I recommend relaxing here for breakfast or brunch before you head to the crowded town area!

 Truffle Fries ($7.90) are part of the sides menu that is available throughout the day. While the taste is not overpowering, it was pretty evident through the whole bucket while the fries were thick, fluffy and crispy. A truffle mayo dip is also served alongside with the Truffle Fries as well.

 They were serving the dinner menu when we visited, which includes pasta and mains. We shared a Pork Roulade ($15.50) which came pretty huge and good for two small eaters to share. The Pork Shoulder was wrapped in bacon, while stuffed with walnuts and caramalised apples. It had a unique texture with the first layer being stringy from the bacon, followed by the meaty bite of the Pork Shoulder and then the crunch of the walnuts. Different dimensions of taste could also be felt from the savoury bacon all the way to the nutty core. We especially loved how matching the Caramelised Apple sauce was with the mashed potato as well.

 Crispy on the outside and flaky in the inside, the Beer-battered Fish & Chips ($13.90) was a joy to have, especially when the fish was free from any odour. The fries was a bit inconsistent with some being darker than the rest though.
