Late Plate is located in the NUS Kent Ridge Campus, serving up affordable all-day breakfast sets catering to the NUS student and staff population. It is open to public, but getting there might be difficult for the unfamiliar; board a NUS shuttle bus that stops before the Shaw Alumni Foundation House, where the restaurant is located.I bought an inSing voucher and decided to pop by together with S during weekday lunchtime. There are not many seats in the eatery and it was almost filled up by lunch
I bought an inSing voucher and decided to pop by together with S during weekday lunchtime. There are not many seats in the eatery and it was almost filled up by lunchtime. This place is very popular with the NUS crowd. (Psst, students get 10% off).
There is no service charge, no menu. Look to the walls around the cashiers for the menu items and place your orders!
First up- Eggs Benedict with Smoked Trout ($17.90). Highly Recommended. I absolutely love this dish. The poached eggs, thick slices of smoked salmon and spinach are wedged between kalamata rosemary scones, drizzled with citron hollandaise sauce. The scones seemed to be toasted to a perfect crispy texture which adds bite to the runny eggs and fish combo. Every bite is a burst of flavours- from the tangy hollandaise sauce, combined with a slightly salty edge from the smoked salmon and semi-runny egg yolk.And for dessert: Mango Cheesecake ($5)
Very pretty presentation and served with apricot peach sauce and cream with strawberry and blueberry fruit garnishing. It does have a nice tropical fruit taste, with the infusion of mango in the cheesecake although I didn’t think the sauce really complemented it. But it’s a great and satisfying dessert to end the meal nonetheless!Late Plate dishes out affordable quality food and a nice getaway from lecture halls and the usual drab NUS canteen food. I would imagine this place would be a quiet oasis on weekends (though not on weekday meal hours).
