Other flavours sampled included a coffee-chocolate amalgamation of some sort, and a banana-based one. Thick and moist slices of fresh banana were present in the latter, and this made the cake fragrant and delicious. While I would have appreciated a stronger dose of coffee in the former, some might prefer the cake in its current milder form.

All the cakes sampled were not too exceedingly sweet, and were well-balanced in taste and texture. The service standards left much to be desired though, with inattentive and unresponsive wait staff. Perhaps they need a few more hands on deck to spread the workload.

Have always walked past PODI thinking it is a high end restaurant and wouldnt have went there if not for a complimentary voucher. The name PODI sounds high end too! After the first visit, I sort of quite like the ambience of the place and the food and went back for quite a few times.

The Duck Berry Waffle priced at $18 was the dish that attracted me when I saw other diners ordering it, so I have to had that too! Presentation was good and appealing. Duck leg confit is served atop a belgium waffle with a pretty runny egg, and with blueberry compote and honey mustard sauce. The duck leg confit is tender and flavourful, and I quite like it with the waffle, it goes well with it. The waffle is crispy, and eating every mouthful together with the duck and the egg is perfect!

During my many visits to PODI, the Iced Chocolate has become my preferred choice of beverage. It is decent at $5, and is priced reasonably as compared to other restaurants or cafes which may price the Iced Chocolate at a higher price.

Duck Berry Waffle - Crisp exterior with tender flesh beneath, oh so yummy! This is a very bold creation as this is the first time seeing a duck confit with egg and waffle combination. It's like having main course with dessert 2-in-1... Not everyone can accept savoury-sweet dish together, but to my surprise, it works well for me! The waffle was very buttery and crisp, complementing well with the sweet-sour blueberry compote goodness! Not forgetting the well-cooked smooth runny egg... Overall a very delightful breakfast!!!

Stuffed Ham & Brie Brioche French Toast

Stuffed Ham & Brie Brioche French Toast - The french toast is made with eggs and spinach brioche, stuffed with smoked ham and cheese, served with grilled tomato and greens. If you like your french toast with a little more punch, this dish is for you! The savoury smoked ham gave a heavier feel to the french toast and the spinach must have been added to offset the guilt... Nonetheless, this is a dish for ham and french toast lovers and those who want a filling breakfast.

Service was ok as we're the first table that time. The food quality of the above two items met my expectations so far. Will definitely be back again to try their grills next time!

I was first attracted by the decorations of PODI which is located near the fountain in the basement of Raffles City. Their decorations are simple and clean yet alluring. I guess many would have known by now, PODI which stands for Pure. Offbeat. Delicious. Infusion is from the creators of Cedele. Unlike Cedele which is commonly known to us for their desserts, salads and sandwiches, PODI offers a variety of mains.Their menu is infused with a mixture of brunch food, starters, burgers, grills, pasta

Their menu is infused with a mixture of brunch food, starters, burgers, grills, pasta and dessert. I would say quite a decent menu filled with different choices. Prices are quite reasonable for a place like PODI.

We are kind of spoilt for choice, there’s just too much for us to choose from! But whichever the case is, we ordered a mixture of starters and main for trying.

Wild Mushroom Soup ($7): Creamy and filled with bits of wild mushroom. It came with a strip of toasted garlic bread.

Mussels in Garlic Butter Sauce ($10): I was filled with much anticipation for this dish actually. But it kind of disappoint me. ): Garlic butter sauce is quite diluted, tasted more of a milky cream instead. It lacks of the aromatic buttery and garlic-ky flavor which i was looking forward to. The mussels are a little too overcooked too. Nevertheless, it came with a few different kind of bread toasts which i presume it’s to go with the sauce but the sauce is a little too watery for it.

Truffle Fries ($12): Generous serving of the usual fat fries. Subtle taste of truffle, not too strong, with sprinkles of herbs but it gets a little too sick of it after eating. Good for sharing with more people.

Crabmeat Konbu Aglio Olio ($18): A dish cooked with house prawn oil, chilli and cherry tomatoes, with sprinkle of konbu seaweed, rocket leaves and parmesan cheese. We opted for linguine for our pasta choice. Pasta is well cooked, al dente, well flavored with the sauce. Chunks of crabmeat can be seen, they were fresh and crunchy. Overall flavor of the sauce is similar to that of a spicy tomato based. Not too bad i feel.
Quite a pleasant dining experience at PODI with a nice atmosphere but i believe there’s a substantial amount of MSG used in the food too. It gets a little salty and thirsty after the whole meal.

Actually, my dinner at Podi did not turn out as bad as the online reviews, perhaps because we picked the right dishes and it was a non-crowded weekday evening when you can dine at ease with less noise pollution.
We went for the satisfying Hearty Eggs ($16), a sourish pool of tomatoes with baked beans, mushrooms, spinach, sausages, caramelized onions and gruyere cheese and poached egg.

To put it in another terms, it's a Moroccan breakfast, Shakshouka. The ingredients were nothing spectacular. It was the assorted bread served alongside that made the difference when you dipped into the sauce.
Bewilderingly, we were discouraged by the staff to order something else instead of the "The Ham and Brie French Toast" ($16) is not the crunchy type. Why must French Toast be crunchy? Were the staff worried that it would not be delicious? Well, I'm glad we insisted with the order as they were strangely delicious.

The yellow pillowy bread with a small wedge of stinky Brie and ham in between, smelled like the eggy French toasts from my own kitchen. But somehow the spinach, both inside and on the brioche, together with the maple syrup transformed this into a rather non-prosaic dish.
It's cruel for me to compare this Matcha Cake ($5.80) to the standards in Tokyo, but I discovered that the middle is the moistest and most intense section of the cake. A bit boring with only sponge and cream but you can call it "beauty in simplicity".

The Banoffee Crumble Pie ($5.80) with scents of cinnamon and thick crust, might be too cloying but oh, that's how I like it to be. Have a bite of that dark chocolate layer, take a sip of the French peppermint tea ($6/pot) and voila~it tasted like refreshing peppermint chocolate!

Duck Berry Waffle ($18++)
Duck confir, waffle, runny egg, blueberry compote & custard sauce
With the voucher, I order the above dish from the brunch menu.

It is served with a side salad. The waffle is quite nice and crispy, while the duck is quite tender and flavourful. But both together, it is not a well balance combination. I feel that the use of duck here is too strong in flavour as it overpowered other items in the dish.

Daily Tea Platter for Two

I also order a Afternoon Tea Platter for 2 which costs $25++ and is available daily from 3-6pm. The set comes with 2 beverages, a choice of sorbets, a choice of cupcake, a choice of sliced cakes and a cranberry scone in the set.

One of the beverages selected is iced tea, which is served unsweeten and there is barely any ice cubes in it. As it tastes a bit bitter, we try to sweeten it with packets of sugar.

Another beverage selected is Earl Grey tea, which is served in a pot and refillable for hot water. The tea tastes not bad, light and flavourful.

The cranberry scone is served with jam and butter. I would prefer to have it with clotted cream. But it still tastes not bad.

Pandan Coconut Cupcake

For cupcake, I have selected Pandan Coconut Cupcake, which tastes grated coconut flakes with slight pandan flavour. There is also other choices such as Chocolate Overload, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Lemony Orange.

For sliced cake, I have selected Banoffee Crumble Pie ($5.80++). The mousse cake is not too sweet and have slices of banana in it.

There is a choice between Mango and Triple Berry for Sorbet. I select Mango which is tangy and not too sweet.

Total the meal costs $29.43. Overall the food is not bad. The place is quite relaxing, surrounding the water fountain. Service is a bit slow with only 2 staffs around.

A new venture under Cedele, with interesting varieties at a more atas price though ><

I was initially wary to go and try considering the mixed positive and negative reviews. Therefore when there was a 1-1 promotion for some of the mains, I decided to give it a try then.

I have all along been a frequent customer of Cedele as I feel that the ingredients are fresh and the food choices are generally healthy and taste good too.

Ordered the Duck Berry Waffle and Aglio Olio Pasta. The waffle was not hot enough when it was served and thus turned cold almost instantly after I had the salad which came along with the main. The duck was tender surely and I enjoyed having it with the Berry sauce but it was altogether a very small portion minus the bones. I wonder if it would be the same during the non-promotional period. I would rate this as just acceptable rather than being the Chef's recommendation item. The pasta was alright, done al-dente and the fish was fresh and went well with the herbs sauce on top of it. But the sauce was scarce and so it was too dry halfway through eating it.

The burger, on the other hand, looked unappetizing and was below expectations. The patty was dry but at least it came with a side sauce to complement it. The chicken wrap had tender meat slices mixed with vegetables but was nothing fantastic.

Overall food quality was average but definitely not value-for-money if it were not for the promotion. Service here was terrible as we had to try so hard for a long while to catch the waiters' attention though there were only several customers. They were all mostly talking to each other with their backs facing the customers. Besides that, the service attitude was less than satisfactory, adding on to the unpleasantness of the overall dining experience. I would not be back to the restaurant again in the future. Quite a disappointing venture of Cedele.

Set up by The Bakery Depot which brings you familiar brand names, like Cedele and P.L.T Sandwiches, PODI is a new venture to introduce pure-offbeat-delicious-infusions through adventurous combinations of flavours and ingredients. Just before the grand opening on the 25th October 2013, a lucky group of foodie-bloggers were invited to their pre-launch event at Raffles City. What happened subsequently was a gastronomical journey which lasted for about 3 hours.

Check out their signature Duck Berry Waffle - a brilliant creation featuring gourmet duck confit, blueberry compote, egg and maple syrup vinaigrette set upon freshly baked waffles. Verdict: Waffles were a tad dry, but surprisingly, flavours and textures complement one another. But seriously, who in the right mind would have thought about throwing duck, blueberries, eggs and waffles together? Well, definitely not me. I really gotta award points for their creativeness and boldness.

Have I mentioned that it's an all-day breakfast affair at PODI? For brunch lovers, like yours truly, I would never stop rejoicing at the sight of beautifully cooked eggs. Do try their Baked Egg Pots - eggs baked in a tomato-based sauce with a choice of either chorizo and goat cheese, or spinach and leek. We had the former selection, and the flavourful combination is enough for me to ask for seconds.

Stuffed French Toast is your normal kopitiam breakfast up a few levels. Served with salad and maple syrup, their rendition of the classic French toast consists of eggs, smoked ham and brie cheese sandwiched between spinach brioche. We loved how well the melted cheese went together with the freshly-crusted bread.

Never a big fan of Beetroot Carpaccio, Prawn & Crab Spinach Salad managed to hit the right spot with its fresh, crisp salad leaves, juicy cherry tomatoes, grilled prawns and crab meat, drizzled with peppermint and lemon vinaigrette. Verdict: Refreshing salad that serves as a healthy appetiser for what's to come, but it definitely lacked the "oomph" factor. Suggestions could be made to incorporate nuts or pomegranate seeds for extra textures.

Shoestring Fries were the first dishes to be served, shortly after we took our seats. Okay firstly, these fries doesn't qualify as shoestring fries at all. Secondly, the fries with nori seaweed were really bland. I mean, potato fries are clearly not health food, so make it the way it should be made - by adding more salt. Truffle fries were merely borderline.

Pastry pot was a first for myself. The following dish, Chicken Pot, features chicken thigh simmered with potato and seasonal vegetables. I would say, this dish would do just the trick for people who are craving for lighter flavours. Definitely a winner for health-gurus as well.

There is little doubt that Argentina Sirloin Steak was very well presented, but unfortunately, it tasted half as good as it looked. Moreover, we weren't given steak knives to cut through the portion of hard and tough sirloin. On a side note, the chimichurri sauce was awesome enough to compensate the let-down.

We totally love their Spicy Prawn Konbu Pasta - a brilliant combination of aglio olio tossed with spicy prawns and prawn oil. Well, if only there were lesser oil and more konbu (kelp) infused into the dish, it would be perfect.

King Prawn with Herb Butter was the second disappointment of the dinner. The smoky aroma, derived from the fresh prawn meat off the grill was indeed arousing to our palates, but unfortunately, the mushy texture was a huge turn-off.

The dinner ended off with their renditions of Whoopie Pie - two cake-like cookies with a creamy, orange earl grey flavoured filling, and Mexican Spiced Hat - nigella-spiced meringue thins with 2 scoops of ice-cream. I am not a big fan of the latter as it was too sweet for my liking, however both are great desserts to be shared.

Restaurants specialising in breakfast and grills do not qualify as novel concepts, however their bold and adventurous infusions of ingredients might be a draw for everyday diners. Talking about food-wise, most of their food items are reasonably priced between S$14 to S$25. Provided that it just launched recently, there are definitely improvements and slight tweaks needed to attract more crowds (and the older ones) in.

Once again, thank you to the kind people at The Bakery Depot for the invite to the pre-launch event.

PODI opened less than two weeks ago at Raffles City Shopping Centre, replacing Out of the Pan. It serves up Breakfast and Grills and promises unconventional selections. I'd agree that there were many items on the menu with interesting combinations, but I wouldn't say they all worked absolutely well.Taking this area around the middle fountain with a clean and classy look, it is hard to miss PODI.

Taking this area around the middle fountain with a clean and classy look, it is hard to miss PODI. I visited the outlet at about 1.30pm and it wasn't exceptionally busy, with just a few lingering customers. Many staff were just standing around, although they did attend to us to take our order quickly even before we signaled for it.

During lunch time, a top up of $5 for Soup and Coffee/Tea can be made with every main course ordered. The Country Mushroom Soup was sold out, so we opted for the Tomato Soup and French Onion Soup. The Tomato Soup was really delicious - it was hot, thick and not too sour and the texture was more of puree than soup. The tomato flavour was very strong, so if you love tomato you're gonna love this soup. Personally, adding a little carnation would have made the soup perfect. On the other hand, the French Onion Soup did not exactly taste like onion to me, but I liked it nonetheless. The clear brown broth had plenty of onions that were really soft and it felt like they were just dissolving in my mouth.

We ordered three main courses to try, the first being the "Duck Berry Waffle" ($18), recommended as a signature dish. It pairs savoury with sweet, with duck meat on top of a waffle, complemented with an egg, blueberry sauce and some maple syrup infused with vinegar. I guess the combination was fine, just that it wasn't anything outstanding. The duck meat was tender and generously large and the waffle had a nice balance of soft and chewy. The egg stood out of place though and it didn't bring out any flavour. Also, I thought the maple syrup tasted weird, but that's just my personal opinion.

The second dish was "The 100% Beef Burger" ($15) that came with sea-salt fries and an orange citrus salad. While the burger was supposed to be the highlight, I actually enjoyed the sides more. The burger was decent, the beef patty wasn't too tough and the buns were soft and fluffy. I'm not sure whether it's supposed to come with a sauce, but I felt it was quite dry. The fries were amazingly good that we finished the entire bowl almost instantly. The soft shoestring fries were well seasoned and it didn't come across as over-fried or too salty. The salad also had a sweet tangy dressing and for the first time there wasn't enough salad to go around.

The third dish was "Prawn and Poached Egg Pasta" ($18) - interesting combination, but it fell short of our expectations. The three prawns were placed nicely around the plate, though a few more prawns would have been delightful. The poached egg wasn't very well poached and the yolk was not runny and did not flow out. The cream sauce lacked amount and flavour, so the pasta was kinda bland and tasteless. Urgh, not a good pick.

The service was not that great, possibly because the workers are still relatively inexperienced since it just opened a little more than a week ago. We had to request for sugar for the coffee/tea and chili sauce multiple times, plain water was not offered and it took some time before a staff responded to our request for the bill, even though they were mostly idling around.

I'd say, give them a little more time to get used to the service and fine tune their dishes before visiting PODI. They do have some interesting desserts to offer too, so I might try them on my next visit.
