Robertson Quay

It was great to be able to meet up with some dear friends for dinner at the Riverside Café in Robertson Quay. We originally wanted to try the mussel place but there weren’t any tables available! Guess it’s true about crowds at restaurants being the economic barometer. Apparently many of these restaurants were struggling to survive a few years back.

Anyway, Riverside Café turned out to be quite lovely in the end. I had the lamb (with a Shiraz glaze and lots of other ingredients which I can’t recall now); it was absolutely delicious- flavourful and tender! SY had a Beer Batter Fish & Chips- loved the beer batter, not something we get here often, I don’t think?

We moved on to the Chocolate Factory for dessert and decided to takeaway a slice of chocolate tart and another slice of something else. Again, the name escapes me- I only remember that tiny piece of something else costing $9 (!). Nine Singapore Dollars?!?. But then again, it was really, really good. It was like this biscuit with layers of great stuff (I remember hazelnuts) and every bite was a dream. Mmmm…

The chocolate tart was a bit too sweet- even for me!

This is really quite tiny- don't be fooled by the close-up! :p

don't go to brussel sprouts! it's a rip off. mussels are too expensive, whole place hardly has aircon, or totally has no aircon, and the experience is overrated.

belgo's was much much better. those test tube beer samplers - ah.
