Cafés & Bistros

Two pancakes the size of the bottom of a cup, an egg and some chunks of salmon and crab may not be filling for a hungry person. One can definitely go for the full (this is half), but half is already $16.90 so hmm.. The caviar on top may have called for such a price, but I doubt I'll go a second time for such a cost. Nevertheless the hollandaise sauce was deliciously creamy and the crab and salmon in the middle tasted great too. There's now an opening promotion in which you get a $15 voucher for The Udder Pancake when you buy $15 worth of ice cream at Udders, which means you get free ice cream!

The raspberry jam was tart and sweet, a good complement to the eggy and soggy French toast. The peanut butter inside the toast wasn't overpowering or too measly.

Looks plain and simple, but the first bite of it tells you it's different from the other waffles you get. The turkey ham taste comes right into your mouth even if you didn't bite on any piece of it. But yes it has some pieces of ham in the waffle. At $8 it's not exactly cheap though.

The quiche is mainly made of eggs with some ham and cheese, strong in flavour and with a light burnt touch. The potato chips are salty flavored and fragrantly crisp as well. Pretty happy with this except that I was expecting the quiche to be thicker and larger instead of this tart size.

Came to Omakase burger thinking of getting the classic, but saw this on the Specials menu and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately it didn't impress me, with the patty today being slightly drier despite a lot of oil accumulating at the bottom of the paper bag. The truffle taste was strong enough, which was good, but I would prefer having the classic American cheese that Omakase is famous for. At $22.90, I'm pretty sure I would be happier if I had chosen the ultimate cheeseburger instead.

Thought the white round clump was ice cream but turned out to be just cream. The French toast below was well done though. I like I how thick the toasts are and how it's not too buttery or eggy. Recommended for sharing among 3-4 pax.

Soufflé was really fluffy, bouncy and well balanced atop the tomato rice below. The rice was mixed with some mushrooms and chicken meat. Would have been better if there were vegetables. Good for sharing as one may get sick of it having the whole cheesy eggy business to himself.

Yumz! The chicken curry is not what you would expect of a western-style cafe, but is something so authentic and familiar tasting - what you can get in your grandmother's cooking. Besides that, the mashed potato's not sweet but is still savory, and its smoothness greets my tongue and throat well!

Taking sips of this cappuccino while reading a book is a luxury.

I initially thought it was a small portion not worthy of $14.50 (I ordered anyway hee) but it turned out to be a really filling dish. The bagel had four layers of things stacked onto it - smoked salmon, egg mayo, mushrooms, and peas in mashed potatoes. This stacked bagel is enriched with various flavors and yet not too extravagantly tasting. My smoked salmon was actually rather big just that it was scrunched up, and the egg mayo was more crunchy than liquid, the way I like it! Along with it came the greens with some sweet tangerine sauce, and a cloudy apple drink which I found a tad too sweet. At the end of the day, this has proven to be worth $14.50!

More like a tart to me cuz it has a dry and coarse texture, though that doesn't negate its deliciousness.

I had 3 others with me to conquer all these, though I ate most of them. My personal favorite was the rosti with broccoli inside, a side in the salmon in lemon and dill sauce dish. Of course the classic meatballs and chicken wings were a hit too, and the silky mashed potato was lightly spiced making it different from those you get outside. The nasi Briyani had nothing remarkable, but what was most disappointing was the pork knuckle which was the costliest. It had a weird aftertaste that I compared to the smell of the pig's stable. No special sauce was provided either.
