I’ve been to Dhoby Ghaut plenty of times and each time I walked past CharlyT’s, I’ve always thought it was just another Western cafe/bistro/restaurant. And to add to that, I didn’t even know the place was called NOMU. But nevermind that, as for CharlyT’s it is not just your regualr Western cuisine joint, but rather a doorway into a selection of International Cuisine that Charly himself experienced while he was globetrotting throughout the continents when he was younger.And to start off a weekend
And to start off a weekend treat, CharlyT’s presented the Spanish Omelette ($8.50). Only available on Weekends and Public Holidays from 9am to Noon, the Spanish Omelette wafted a light savoury fragrance as it was served. Accompanied by fried potatoes and toppings of tomato and chunky spam, this is tastily eaten with the side of crispy dilly bread made from dill and cottage cheese. Its hard to go wrong with a fragrant omelette and oh do ask for a serving of cream cheese to spread all around that piece of toast.
Perhaps the most obvious dish would be the CharlyT's Famous Rotisserie Chicken. With up to 12 chicken being roasted rotisserie style at any one time in the chicken, wafts of marinated crispling roasty poultry is sure to slowly make its way to diners. Each chicken is marinated for over 10 hours in a mix of herbs, spices and sauces and thereafter roasted for a good 50 minutes before served.
The result? Juicy chicken with flavours well seeped through and a skin that is a medley of savoury, pepperish and slightly honeyed tones. It was the best dish for the day. And it comes in Quarter, Halves and the whole bird ($13; 2 sauces 2 sides,$24; 3 sauces 3 sides ,$42; 4 sauces 4 sides)
This ORTU foodie session was so filling that I probably was too stuffed to even have another meal after that. Dishes like the Sesame Terriyaki Chicken Wrap and the New Orleans Beef Salad are also must trys.
Charly T's is a place for an introduction into flavours from places around the world, and its dishes can be a good conversation starter for any table.
