We arrived at 730 and most of the tables had already been occupied. Who says that this place is well hidden?
Char-grilled Chichen Tikka - $9.50
Chicken cubes served with cucumber-mint raita, grilled to slight char to add flavour to the well marinated meat. The ladies already started helping themselves before I could finished this shot.
Portobello Mushroom - $12.00
Sautéed mushroom with garden green and shredded parmesan cheese.
Fish & Chips - $15.00
If you like fish and chips, this is one place not to be missed. Beer-battered snapper served with their home-made potato wedges and tartar sauce. Three generous pieces of snapper loin fried to crispy golden brown, yet the freshness of the fish was well retained. It was also interesting to note that one of us pressed a piece of tissue paper on it, there wasn't any oil spot. Ideal main course for weight-watchers.
Prawns Spaghetti - $15.00
Aglio Olio with sautéed prawns.
Spicy Calamari - $13.00
While most of us love to enjoy calamari with chilli sauce, this one is hot on its own.
Quesadillas - $14.00
A quick check on wikipedia found that quesadilla is a traditional Mexican dish made of cheese and other ingredients (chicken in this case) folded in tortilla and cooked until the cheese melts. The ladies didn't quite like the bitter after-taste of the mozzarella cheese, but it was just my type of food.
Besides their tasty yet affordable treats on their food menu, patrons can also expect to indulge in an extensive variety of quality home-made coffee and other beverages. With its prime location just 5 min walk from Somerset MRT Station and cozy setting, Oriole Café makes the best destination for all of your gathering occasions.
Till end of this year, if you pay by Citibank Credit Card, this is 10% discount on all a la carte menu items, effectively you just need to top up 7% for GST.
Maybe I should come back another day for their 3-course set lunch at $16++. As for dinner, I will think about it again after I get a stronger flash.
