E.Clat Gourmet Canteen @ Mohamed Sultan

E.Clat Gourmet Canteen is located on the 3rd floor of Sultan Link building along Mohamed Sultan road. E.Clat which means brilliancy of success is a concept by a group of property agents to offer fine dining for the masses. However the owner also mentioned that they wanted to serve comfort and fun food. That got me confused.

The restaurant has a seating capacity for 110 pax. It also has a cooking studio which they plan to hold cooking classes in the near future.

Tomato Bruschetta 2/5

The Tomato Bruschetta ($6.90 for 4pc) looked rather pretty but it was let down by the stale home made foccacia.

E.Clat Cheesy Onion Fries 2.5/5

I was told that the Cheesy Onion Fries ($9.90) was a creation by the boss himself. The cheeses used were a combination of mozzarella and cheddar. I was getting concerned. I couldn't relate fine dining, comfort and fun food in this dish. The only word flashing across my mind was messy.

Beer Battered Fish and Chips 4/5

The Beer Battered Fish and Chips ($16.90) was probably the best among all the dishes for the tasting session. It had a nice thin and crisp batter around the succulent and fish. It also comes with breaded Fish and Chips if you do not like beer battered version.

Seafood Baked Rice 2.5/5

The rice for the Seafood Baked Rice ($10.90) in tomato sauce was rather bland. The tangy tomato flavour was not distinct or rather missing from the dish. It made me wonder if the kitchen has ran out of cheese, cause I would love to see more in my baked rice.

Black Pepper Beef Pasta 3/5

The Black Pepper Beef Pasta ($12) supposed to be E.Clat most popular dish. I thought it was rather pedestrian. The beef was well marinated and tender but black pepper sauce needs more kick to it.

Egg Benedict 3/5

My Egg Benedict ($10.90) was beautifully cooked with the yolk of the poached egg oozing out when cut. However the hollandaise sauce was a tad watered down and I disliked the stale home made foccacia.

Smoked Duck Pizza 3.8/5

The Smoked Duck Pizza ($18.90) came with a nice thin crisp crust. The truffle mayonnaise was interesting but the way it was on the pizza, I had trouble figuring how best to consume it to get an even spread of the truffle mayonnaise.

Rum and Raisin Patta Cotta 3/5

As I have mentioned in my previous posts I do not know how to appreciate Patta Cotta. Accordingly to the group, the Rum and Raisin Patta Cotta ($8.80) was rather average and not memorable.

Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe @ Jalan Kayu

Canadian Pizza is know for its 2 for 1 pizza delivery at 6241 0241 but little may you know that Canadian Pizza actually has a Dine-In Cafe along the same stretch of road at Jalan Kayu. Opened back in December 2011, the Dine-In cafe offers an extensive menu besides pizzas.

The Dine-In cafe has both a alfresco and air conditioned seating. It is a halal certified restaurant that offers an extensive menu, not just only pizza.

Root Beer Float 4/5

Started the meal with a mug of classic Root Beer Float ($4.50). You can also ask for Pepsi or 7-Up if you do not like Root Beer. For cold beverages, Mocktails, juices and soft drinks are also available.

Smoked Salmon Salad 3.8/5

The plating for the Smoked Salmon Salad ($8.80) may not look elegant but it was good. The used of fresh ingredients such as onion, lettuce, black olive, tomato and bread crumbs was packed with flavours, a healthy but yet flavourful salad to start with.

Tomato and Mushroom Soup 4/5

The Tomato Soup ($4.50) and Mushroom Soup ($4.50) was surprising creamy, tasty and robust. Like my dining partner Melissa commented, the soups were much better than a popular family restaurant in Singapore which I can't agreed more.

Grilled Cajun Fish 4.2/5

The Grilled Cajun Fish ($16.90) came with salad, fries and lime mayonnaise. The grilled fish was extremely flavourful and I won't mind going back for more. As I gathered my thoughts composing the post, I realized the grilled fish was sliced into strips. Visually I think people would expect a whole piece of fish fillet so they don't feel short changed.

Baked Macaroni 3/5

The Baked Macaroni ($9.50) unfortunately was a let down. Though the macaroni was nicely cooked, they were kind of bland.

Fresh Sage Sausage 4.2/5

The Freash Sausage ($13.80) came a bit on the salty side but if paired with the mashed potatoes and sauce, it actually had a good balanced of flavours. It was one of my favourite dish at Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe.

Crazy Canadian Stacker 4/5

The Crazy Canadian Stacker ($14.90) came with double patties, grilled bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion rings, cheese and fries. The huge and juicy burger was packed with flavours and it was not going to be easy for one with a small appetite.

Peri Peri Chicken 3.8/5

I was worry that the Peri Peri Chicken ($16) may be too hot for my taste buds but they were quite mild and easily for the palate. The chicken has a nice crisp on the outside while tender inside. Served with fries and salad.

Steak Sandwich 4/5

Stacked with grilled beef, onion rings, lettuce, tomatoes and brown sauce, the Steak Sandwich ($13.90) was worth the penny. The perfectly grilled beef impressed me and well paired with the special brown sauce.

Brownie with Ice Cream 3/5

Bread Pudding 3/5

Apple Crumble 3/5

Besides the extensive mains that are available on the Canadian Pizza Dine In cafe, it also offers some classic desserts for the sweet tooth. We tried the Brownie, Bread Pudding and Apple Crumble. Unfortunately I didn't get to note down the price. The dessert was nothing to shout for but decently good.

In a small way I am quite excited about Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe. The mains are value for money and it is currently the only place you get your Canadian Pizza prepared by the chef upon order. What's more, the mains are available for delivery too. At the moment, the cafe is having a Friday night special with $40 spent customer gets a free regular pizza.
