Bought a groupon and went to Marine Parade for Western. I have never heard of Toby's before and this is the first time trying. Truthfully, if there wasn't the groupon I don't think I will ever try this restaurant as Parkway Parade is a little out of the way for me. The calamari was ok while the bake rice and pasta is not bad, they are generous with the cheese and the sauce was quite nice. The last pic is the mushroom soup, we felt that it was a little bland.

For desserts, we got a strawberry cheesecake and even though it wasn''t really very rich, the pairing with the strawberry was pretty good.

I was hanging around Parkway Parade Shopping Centre and was wondering where to have lunch. Feeling famished as I haven't had breakfast, I decided to try out Toby's The Dessert Asylum for lunch as I love the ambiance of dining in an open concept casual restaurant under the bright natural sunlight coming through the clear glass panels. That also means it is perfect for food photography! The lunch crowd on a weekday wasn't that bad and the attentive staff came to me and seated me in a cosy corner

The lunch crowd on a weekday wasn't that bad and the attentive staff came to me and seated me in a cosy corner as I was dining alone. It wasn't that noisy and those around dining were mostly taitais who had just completed their shopping business and working execs having lunch meeting. I would say it is very conducive for students to hangout too!

Coming back to the food, I didn't know what to order but the German & Cheese Bratwurst ($16.95) caught my eyes. Served with potato salad as the side, it went well with the sausages as it balances the flavour. The German sausage tasted pretty decent but the Cheese Bratwurst was a little too salty for my preference. Thankfully, the caramelized onions help to balance the taste and overall, it pleased my palate as well as my appetite.

Still feeling hungry, I had the Toby’s signature Deluxe Burger ($14.95) which it’s stacked generously with layers of bacon, cheese, beef patty, onion ring, lettuce and tomato. It looks really deliciously overwhelming and I can’t wait to work my appetite on it. Served with French fries, this is perfect for any burger junkie out there who have a love for classic Western cuisine. The bacon is a little too salty but the rest were good. The home made beef patty was nicely done, succulent and juicy!

So it seem that Toby’s don’t only serve good desserts but also has pretty delicious mains as well. The staffs were very nice to offer ice water but during busy hours, they tend to forget to refill ice water for the guests. I’ll definitely come by another time to check out their highly raved desserts and maybe a few other mains which interest me.

Service is below average at Toby's The Dessert Asylum. I'm not sure if it's the spaced out looking staff or the rather cold attitude / feeling I get from them here. But they do get things done, and food is served rather quickly. Tables are slightly unclean as well, and the menu looks worn out, both of which somewhat irks me.

Food isn't a strong point for Toby's The Dessert Asylum, but the real highlights here are the mudpies and desserts. Appropriately, the desserts are quite good, and portions are large. Prices tend to be slightly higher as compared to similar items elsewhere though.

The fish is quite fresh and it is crispy. I like the fried fish a lot (: The drink is coca-cola with lemon. I like it! there is sour taste in the coca cola. It make the coca cola taste more nice~ Overall, its quite good

It’s a good place for high tea. A piece of cake, served with a hot cup of tea; the ideal afternoon that you can imagine. I ordered a serving of the lemon tart which cost $5.95 before GST. It tasted okay, nothing special but it goes well with coffee. It’s worth trying though.

My friends and I were looking for a restaurant to settle down for dinner and we chose to eat at toby's the dessert asylum! Ordered popcorn prawn for our appetizer but it didn't taste as good as we expected it to be. The flour was a little too much for the small-bite prawns. Our main courses were served after the appetizer. I ordered baked chicken pasta. The portion is huge and I couldn't finish it but the pasta was well mixed with the cheese and chicken.

As a cheese lover, I pretty like it! Not to forget, we ordered a dessert to share, a mudpie but didn't manage to capture the image of it. As you can see from the cafe's name, it's definitely a dessert place and the mudpie was simply fabulous! Much much better than appetizers and main courses so it's a good place for friends to chill and have some dessert along with coffee or tea!

As I had a 1-for-1 dining voucher for Toby's The Dessert Asylum, we decided to make use of this opportunity to have a good lunch.
We ordered the following main courses:

Battered Fish & Chips $14.95++

The fish was fresh and the crust was crisp & tasty. It seemed to be fried very well till the crust was golden. I enjoyed every bite of it.


Chicken & Shroom Tagliate pasta $14.95++

According to my lunch partner, this pasta was just average, nothing fantastic about it. She also didn't finish this main course as it was too filling & creamy. I tried a mouthful and yes, it didn't "wow" me. I still prefer my fish & chips & was glad I ordered the right main course. Lol

As we were quite full after our main courses, we were unable to try their desserts which were supposed to be the restaurant's speciality. Maybe another time......
