Bar Bar Black Sheep at Cluny Court has got to be one of the most charming, tucked away places in Bukit Timah away from the prying eyes of passers-by. It's quite difficult to find, there's a narrow walkway into an alfresco courtyard, but you can also opt for indoor seating.The entire place is gorgeous, charming and has a really laid back feel to it. Not to mention, the stunning array of food choices here that include Asian (local), Thai and Western food -the menu is mind-bogglingly extensive! Als

The entire place is gorgeous, charming and has a really laid back feel to it. Not to mention, the stunning array of food choices here that include Asian (local), Thai and Western food -the menu is mind-bogglingly extensive! Also: they have great happy hour prices all day: $10 nett for house pour spirits, $8 for Kronenbourg 1664/Blanc as well as champagne. What was that ?-I can't hear you over the sound of chugging!We ordered a Spaghetti Carbonara and a Chicken Pad Thai for $12.90 each, a Kronenbourg 1664 and a House Pour Rum & Coke for $8 and $10 respectively.
The carbonara is really creamy -a bit too thick and creamy for my liking, but bacon fans would enjoy this tremendously for the flavour of the bacon completely permeates this dish (yum!). There's a slightly smoky element to this dish that is complemented by the creaminess. I found it a bit much though -then again I cannot be said to be a fan of cream-based pasta.
The Pad Thai was surprisingly good! The noodles had a slightly springy/elastic quality which was delicious -there definitely was wok hei and the seasonings were done to perfection. I loved the crushed peanuts and chilli flakes on the side -not to mention a hint of lime to add the extra 'oomph'! I must say that the freshness of the chicken was remarkable. The meat had a fantastically tender quality that was neither dry nor flaky -top marks for this aspect.
Nothing like a cold glass of Kronenbourg 1664 to round off your day Fans of Hoegaarden and Erdinger (as I am) will enjoy this beer as its incredibly smooth -the aftertaste also carries a hint of fruitiness in my opinion. Easy to drink and chill out with
The rum & coke tends to fluctuate a little between glasses -its sometimes stronger when different bartenders mix it.We really enjoyed the whole atmosphere -for a sports bar, it had a charming quality to it amidst the liveliness. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone bringing someone on a date to somewhere different that isn't pretentious yet definitely classy. The atmosphere is nearly electric in this one and the service is pretty good too. The best part is that the prices are all nett so what you see is what you get! With such a stunning variety of dishes to try, we can't exactly recommend a particular dish given that we've only tried two, but it appears to us that the burgers seem quite popular, as well as the side dishes to share!
