Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger

As the name of the place suggests, this is really just a cafe (96 Somerset Road, #01-01 Pan Pacific Serviced Suites, tel: 6238 8348) and with that standards of food which frankly ranks to me, just a little above the likes of NYNY. The offerings of their Guinness braised spring chicken and beef cheek tagliatelle were really just mediocre while the fish and chips in thin crisp batter fell within the decent category, but really provided little bang for the buck if you consider that something quite similar could be had for half the price. Albeit without the chic ambience as well and the gimmicked thick cut fries which scored with segments of caramelised garlic, but plummeted with the pitiful quantities of shaved parmesan cheese.

The service staff were definitely most obliging, but at the pace which things were done, the waits were almost excruciating. Even when it came to asking for the bill. It would certainly have been appreciated if they could simply inform of the coverage in the happy hour which did not apply for most of the beers on the menu. Before someone made their order that is. Must be poor logistics in play here. I wonder how come is it that I forgot that this place has an award winning barista in the house and I really do enjoy coffee.
