Along a stretch of old shophouses near Sim Lim Tower, there is this newly opened bistro which is called OMB which stands for Oh My Bacon. The cafe has a variety of dishes that has bacon in it from starters to mains to desserts.
The cafe is decorated in a brightly and colorful look. Even the reservation tag and the number tag is colored in shades of pink and green. So colorful. So cheerful looking.
Menu is a simple piece of paper. Remember to help yourself to the water in front of the counter after making order at the counter.
Bacon & Egg Cup ($12)Eggs with sun-dried tomatoes in a bacon cup over a bed of rosti.
The dish is served on a wooden board. The bacon is quite cute looking with the egg in it. Taste not bad. The rosti is crispy outside while soft and savoury inside. The savoury sauce on the sauce is a bit too little.
The NPH Platter ($18)Wine infused smoked duck, prawn and asparagus wrapped in bacon; this combination will make your tastebuds sing, dance and act like a triple threat Neil Patrick Harris is.
Although I could not taste the wine in the smoked duck, the combination of smoked duck and bacon is very good with a sweet and savoury taste. The asparagus tastes a bit too old and hard. The prawn and bacon combination tastes a bit off. The prawn has mushy texture feel. Feel not so fresh.
Carbonara ($15)Spaghetti with eggs, cheese and bacon based on a non-creamy, traditional Italian recipe.
Although it looks a bit dry when served, the dish actually tastes delicious with lots of caramlised chopped onions in it which I like very much. Not the usual cream base type.
Bacon Bomb ($28)A delightfully explosive combination of pork, beef, bacon and cheese all rolled into one mouthwatering experience. Served with mashed potatoes. Good for 2 persons.
Served on a wooden board, it looks like a huge sausage. When cut opens, one can see the soft melted cheese around. Tastes sinfully cheesy and meaty.
Bacon Brownie ($9)Served with Bacon Ice Cream and a piece of Jekyll & Hyde ($2.50).
Jekyll & Hyde is bacon strip dipped in dark and white chocolate. A strangely good combination of sweet and salty.
The crispy bacon coated with white chocolate is pretty addicitive. As for the brownie, I am a bit disappointed that it is not served hot. I could barely taste the bits of bacon in the brownie. So disappointing. The bacon ice cream is not bad, but it melts quite fast. I feel that it would be better if it is more savoury in taste.
Overall the food is not bad, but I feel it is more on the high side especially for the bacon bomb. The staffs are quite friendly and often go around to clear the used cutlery.
