My close friend had been urging me to visit Fosters because he said the scones there are really one of the better ones out there. So on a leisure weekend afternoon, I walked in to this cafe in a quiet little corner of Holland V and was asked if I had made a reservation. I found out that as the place is not big, there are limited seats, so reservations are strongly encouraged. As I didn't make a reservation beforehand, they asked if I mind if I were to give up the table after 1 hour. I am fine wi
So on a leisure weekend afternoon, I walked in to this cafe in a quiet little corner of Holland V and was asked if I had made a reservation. I found out that as the place is not big, there are limited seats, so reservations are strongly encouraged. As I didn't make a reservation beforehand, they asked if I mind if I were to give up the table after 1 hour. I am fine with the arrangement so was seated at a cosy little corner with an armed couch. They lined e mock-fireplace w plush toys n it made the place look real cosy. Even with the hot-blazing sun outside, sitting in this dimly lit corner just feels so quaint. This corner double-up as a stage for a live-band at night. There is also an outdoor seating area adorned with hanging & climbing plants, which is a calming sight from inside-looking-out.
I ordered the Hi-tea set that includes sandwiches & scones. I suspect the sandwiches were really there to contrast the excellence of the scones. The sandwiches are extremely dry & the white bread has a v rough texture, could do with more substance on the ingredients. Heard later on that we could ask to replace the sandwiches with a scone instead. Do so, you won't regret having one more of those heavenly scones. The scones are unforgettable. With devonshire n butter cream to go along..mm..mmm~
They have an all day Happy Hour drink list, 2 drinks for $15. I went for the Affogato w/Bailey's, goes very well with my scones.
I finally decided to come back with friends for dinner, so I reserved a table for dinner the same day. We all had a wonderful time and satisfying dinner.
