Absolutely in Heaven

Bobo has always been one to try out new places... and this one was no exception!! Its cosy ambience and good location (in Prinsep Place amongst all the funky eateries) is certainly a draw. She's also a sucker for simple modern yet cosy decor and this place certainly fit the bill.

Ultra romantic don't you think? This was on a weekday evening,
so you might want to make reservations if you're heading there during
the weekends!

The Food

This was the Seafood Platter ($18)
This one was quite disappointing.
There was Calamari, fish, fries and prawns. But the batter used was too thick and
Bobo didn’t really fancy it after two pieces from the plate.
But the serving was large and can easily be a starter for 4-5 people.

Oriental Codfish($24)
Codfish served with bacon on asparagus. Bobo loved this one.
The codfish was served with bacon but the tastes were quite separate.
Bobo liked the taste of the fish, which was light and just right.

Chicken Roulade $20.00
Bobo liked the herb taste in the chicken meat itself.
The chicken was wrapped around some spinach and bacon.
But she enjoyed eating the chicken itself more than the entire combination.

Tenderloin Steak ($28)
The steak was cooked just right and was a little charred at the outside.
But the meat was not marinated, as the chef preferred for
people to taste the original taste of the beef. So the sauce was
quite thick to help with the flavour of this dish.
This was served with potato and carrot gratin which was pretty filling.

Tira Mi Su ($9)

This is not your usual tiramisu. It was different. The taste and
texture was ok but there was no smell of liquor so that was a little wierd.
The centre was a little pudding-ish instead of the usual fluffy texture.
But not too bad on the whole. Interesting dessert.

Victorian Creme Brulee ($9)
Isn't it pretty? She loved the presentation A LOT!
The taste of the dessert itself was ok. Much like custard save for the
crisp top layer.

They provided really good service and
Bobo really enjoyed herself there.

Try it some time!

Prata? Everytime Bobo heads out for some Indian food people ask if she had prata. The funny thing is that they don't serve prata at all here at the...

BOMBAY CAFE

Bombay Cafe is an vegetarian eatery along Tanjong Katong Road which you can't miss. And Bobo means it. It's black with Fuchsia pink colours. Who can miss that shocking pink?

That fateful New Year's Day, Bobo and her friend stepped into this dimly lit restaurant and were surrounded by Bollywood posters and MTVs playing at every corner. Sychronised Indian dancing has never failed to mesmerise Bobo. So she entertained herself with the MTVs whilst her companion studied the menu.

Food Ordered:

Adraki Gobhi ($8)
Cauliflower cooked in spicy paste. The cauliflower is a little too mushy for my taste but Bobo loved the paste. She also liked the way it went with the Naan. It was very flavourful. A great accompaniment but not to be eaten alone.


Ragda Patties ($7)
This was the puzzling and disappointing dish of the night. She ordered it thinking it was potatoes. But when it came, it looked like a whole plate of peas! This was a little cold and they managed to find the mashed up potato cakes in the centre... buried under all the peas. A very odd dish which didn't really go down too well with them.


Masala Dosa ($6)
This is the one that looks like a large pancake foldover. The sides are slightly sweet and breadlike and there are potato fillings in the centre which are savoury and a little tangy. She loved it.

Kurkuri Mushroom ($12)
It looked ugly. Really ugly. But you have to put the entire piece into your mouth to get the burst of freshness from the vegetables in it. This was undoubtedly, the best dish of the night.

All in all they spent $46.50 for the two.

They provided great service, pretty good food and a nice ambience. The two things that weren't so good was that there was little parking space around and that they didn't have a washroom. That's a big minus as they are not located in a shopping centre where there are public toilets nearby.

Definitely worth a try!!
