Tucked away in the corner of Holland is Foster - The English Rose Cafe. Met my best girls there last Sunday for our weekend lunch date! This is one of my favourite places to hang with my friends because of the cozy ambience. Diners can choose to inside the restaurant with the a/c on or dine al fresco outside on the cafe. The cafe has a quaint, comforting feel with kitschy knick nacks like soft toys and even some plush arm chairs for patrons to dine and relax in. At night, the tables are decorated with tiny tealight candles giving the cafe a very pretty glow!I ordered a caesar salad with extra smoked salmon while my friend ordered a chicken pie. We also ordered another basket of fries. The waiters and waitresses were very prompt and attentive in serving us as well! The food arrived within ten to fifteen minutes after we'd ordered. My Caesar Salad was fresh topped with crotons, boiled eggs, bacon and cheese. It was a refreshing and savoury blend. My friend's chicken pie was also very delicious without being too peppery (As some chicken pies can be) and the fries were well-salted and crunchy. For those of y'all who enjoy the occasional Happy Hour drink, you will be pleased to know that as long as Fosters is open, so is Happy Hour! Drinks are $15 for 2. There is a long list to choose from Lychee Martinis and Mojitos. Dare-devils can try the flaming B52 which is literally on fire. All in all, Fosters is a very quaint cafe with a lovely ambience and good food and service -- an English Rose indeed Good: Ambience, service, foodBad: A bit on the pricier sideExpect to spend : $20-35 (per person)Would you go again?
