I am back! I’m going to pretend you are just about excited about this as I am – it’s possibly the longest hiatus between posts on this blog, and I feel a vengeance. you never know how obsessive connected you are to your electronics until you’re separated.
we’ll start the engine up with a set of rather out-of-the-ordinary photos taken at this okay cafe at pacific plaza. I’ve been here before (how has it been two years since!) – and it maintains its rather meh-but-edible status.
it’s a colorful place set off the side of the building, and still decently packed on a weekend lunch. the menu looks like a fancy interpretation of american diner delights: burgers, salads and shakes – so fancy, in fact, that it’s dished up all frenchified and modernesque.
but there’s something about their food that just doesn’t do much for me. I certainly wouldn’t fuss too much if someone suggested a meal here – but they really haven’t improved with time. our caesar salad had moist slices of salmon and a soft egg atop, but the dish was marred by FAR TOO MUCH creamy salad dressing.
it was almost like navigating a thick cream soup with loads of veg. tasty dressing, yes, but overpowering at such volume.
the 3 little pigs burger was rather also tasty-but-not-quite-there, with a patty that was well-seasoned with minced chorizo and bacon mixed into the ground pork – but it was a hard puck of overcooked meat. a pity, as was the overdressed salad on the side.
it’s a pretty pricey place, which suits the locale but not the food. the best place about this place is possibly how quiet it is – the hype has receded and so has the crowd, and pacific plaza is conveniently in town without being part of the madness. doable, but only mildly recommendable.

These photos are so awesome Sonya! How were they done???
thanks lu! aside from the fact that I’m rather genius, alot of the credit goes to this mode on my camera that emphasizes contours in photos. so cute, right?!
haha the photos! i still say ‘meh’ :(
sigh such a waste for our first meal in a long time, right? thank gods for p.s.’s desserts.
Welcome back in the “real” world! Interesting, cartoony spin on the photos, not something I would’ve expected from you. Fun stuff although as I’m sure you’ll be happy to concede they don’t go far towards conveying the quality/un-quality of the food.
SUCH A PURIST ELITIST. this is art!!
such a pity the food’s gotten blah…it used to be soooooo frikkin’ good when bruno menard was still attached to it.
on another note…welcome back to the connected world!! hope u had a great time trekking through the jungle!! :p
bernie, I was reading your review when I realised that it’s true he’s removed his name from the place!
I went quite a while ago and probably also caught it at its downfall since I wasn’t impressed neither. it has so much potential though, and such a good location, sigh.
Great pictures! x
thanks, nicole! it’s certainly different from my usual style. thanks for stopping by (: looking forward to seeing more cool places on your blog.
Thank you :)
cute photos!
thanks, nat!
Welcome back. ;) The food here looks ok, but not a patch on SG’s best burger joints. https://backpackerlee.wordpress.com/2014/11/12/the-burger-the-better-10-of-singapores-tastiest/
you’re definitely right! I’m not such a burger fiend though, but I did think the options at potato head were also pretty good (luckily they’re already on your list!)
