Kopi Alley @ Tanjong Pagar MRT Xchange

Those that do not use the public transport, you probably did not know that more and more eateries have opened at MRT stations. One such eateries is Kopi Alley at Tanjong Pagar MRT station. Now commuters can grab a quick breakfast on the way to work.

I didn't know Kopi Alley was opened by Jollibean until I googled on the web. It has an interesting menu that brought back childhood memories such as toast with condensed milk and milo powder. Unfortunately, I was in a rush for my appointment so I just went for the set menu.

Half Boiled Egg 4/5

Toast with Kaya and Butter 4/5

Cafeteria il Lido @ Suntec City

It was my kaki's monthly dinner gathering and I suggested Cafeteria il Lido at Suntec City. It is opened by the owner of the famous Cafe il Lido at Sentosa. Cafeteria il Lido offers affordable and value for money Italian food. The menu is reasonable priced at $20 or below and the portion was quite generous too. The catereria also offers kid's menu that is under $7.

The Cheese Fries was surprisingly very good. The cheese had a saltiness flavouring that tasted like sour cream which made it very enjoyable while we waited for our mains.

Cheese Fries 4.5/5

My favourite dish for the night. The chicken leg stewed with roast vegetables and mashed potatoes. The gigantic chicken leg was surprisingly moist and tender. I have to admit I struggled to finish the dish not that it was not good but the portion was really too generous.

Chicken Cacciatora 4.2/5

The other mains my friends ordered are both yummy and generous in portion too, except for the grilled fish which was a bit mushy and bland.

Spaghetti Vongole 4/5

Mushroom Steak 4/5

Grilled Dory Fish Fillet 3/5
