Wah this place is simply.. paradise! Lol. Ok forgive the exaggeration but its been a loooooooooooooong time since im so satisfied and impressed with a place- great environment, superb food with no frustrating proportions, great great service, pretty interior designplus no pressure to rush... everything is just great for hanging out..but then again i didnt visit it on a weekend so that could be the place.. but other than that the place is really 2 thumbs up for me! Ok firstly, I had bookmarked th
Ok firstly, I had bookmarked their website on my browser and we had been wanting to go but coz we dun drive n its at the faaaaaaar end of east we had the inertia... but becoz we had a 4 day weekend I finally suggesed we cycle there from east coast.. which is a good idea actually (if its not raining).
So we took abr 1.5 hours to cycle from east coast and the place is really just a bit further down from the village hotel so its not so difficult to find. We had skipped breakfast to eat here.. =P so i must first say we had ordered quite alot for 2 persons.. I had done my research n know that their portobello fries and truffle fries were must-try so i had chosen the lesser of the 2 evil. hehe. Wah its superbly good !! the portobello was so juicy and full of its natural goodness that u really dun need the truffled mayo but its special too.. portions are not big though.. just nice for 2 to share.. please order this if u go!!
The second side we had was the wings.. which was so-so.. so i wun really recommend it for the price.. and had 3 parts of drumlets n wings each.. The mains are the best... I had read before that their waygu burger was good so i told the angmo kia to take it but he was afraid its too much so he took the reuben sandiwich instead.. which was still wonderful! they are not stingy on the pastrami at all, and it had a small fresh rocket salad on the side.. mine was super wonderful.. with melting cheese, juicy roma toamatoes and ham.. was the cheese was really melting.. and wats more, i think actually 1 portion is good enough for 2 person to share.. i had doggy-bagged my last piece of sandwish.. the size was abt the length of a full baguette cut into 3 parts.. so imagine.. Mine came with the potatoe salad which i didnt touch (too much carbs but angmo kia ate half the portion).
The other thing that was a bit disappointing for me other than the wongs was the mocha. Being a huge coffee fan, I must say the coffee was abit too acidic for my liking and even the chocolate syrup wasnt able to mask it..
A word abt the great service- the restaurants has a few areas: restaurant, cafe, outdoors.. we sat at the cafe area first.. and after my bf had wanted to smoke n take a coffee outside so we requested to move and the guy who served us (I think fillipino, but no nametag or i wld write in to the boss for bouquets =)) did it so happily and helped us to move, even bringing us new glasses or water...arh.... good service.. i miss it in singapore.. I can tell u even some hotels dun do this.. so kudos!
The setting of the place is really really pretty with all sorts of vintage stuff... If i drove n stayed in the east this will definitely be my hangout!
We spent abt $90 in total- mocha,pineapple juice, double espresso, portobello fries, wings, 2 sandwiches. But remember, the huge portions for the mains. =)
