i love the al fresco mood Kichn has created for their cafe. it is situated in a quiet area, tucked away from the bustling streets outside, and is opened only after 5.30PM, when the air is cool and windy. the minimalistic white and pale wood decorations gave the cafe a very carefree vibe, and the smallness of the cafe made the dining experience very exclusive and private.also, food eaten out of a box always seem much tastier, doesn't it?i was here once a year ago and liked it very much but never

i was here once a year ago and liked it very much but never found the opportunity to revisit until now. i wasn't very impressed with the food back then, i thought it was good, but not fantastic, but this time round, i loved everything i ordered!
these were out of this world! the batter was light, and the squid fresh and just nicely cooked inside and out. the seasoning also gave the calamari a slight, not too overwhelming herby, salty taste. it's perfect eaten just on its own.
i had the chicken roll with ham and cheese on my first visit, but still couldn't resist it this time round. the imagery from reading "chicken roll with ham and cheese" is too delicious and thankfully, it did not disappoint. the ham and chicken was just very slightly almost uncooked, just the way i like it, and the cheese was melty and oozy. the pasta was cooked just right, and the cream sauce not too heavy, yet flavorful, unlike the 'campbell mushroom soup' kind of sauce that many restaurants serve. this combination was Lethal though, i was *so* stuffed.
boyfriend had the portobello mushrooms with japanese rice and chili crab sauce. he thought it was pretty good, except that the mushrooms might be slightly over-grilled, and the japanese rice seemed to just be normal rice. i'm really picky and unadventurous with my drinks so we went for the oreo blend, which was surprisingly really good. our bill came up to only $29, which i thought was very reasonable and value for money.
i remembered there used to be really bright, cheery little potted plants on each table though, which freshened up the entire cafe. they were a no-show this trip round. the ordering system has also turned entirely "self-service" with no clear indications what you should do once seated. however, the Kichn staff remains very sweet and compromising
