love Cafe Cartel's system of orderin the food usin those notepad thingys..
cos if the order is presented wrongly..well its the writers fault for writing wrongly..
The food has always been good..
I loved their supreme platter cos it has my favourite waffle fries, calamari n nuggets..
Seafood baked pasta cos of the delicious creamy sauce and cheese..
and most recently, I tried the grilled dory with sambal sauce..
while the dory did not smell or taste fishy at all.it went well with the sambal sauce..but i felt the sambal sauce was not very hot..i guess not everyone can stand overly hot food but i still liked it
and it didnt leave a weird aftertaste that i get after eatin dory @ sum restaurants..
My friend had the pan fried linguine..looked good n she seemed to enjoy it..
We indulged and got ourselves dessert...my tiramisu was presented beautifully..and i loved how it tasted..it was creamy not too overwhelming..nice n light..
liked the choc biscuit at the bottom
my friend had the all american classic..
and well..caramel n butterscotch=heaven..so no need to comment there..i love butterscotch so i added it to my tiramisu..yummy..
service was fantastic..for new staff who were attentive even after so many orders(my boyfren n his frenz were with us at first)..
to constantly refilling our drinks and enquiring if we wanted new drinks when we finished ours..
they were constantly smiling and even durin closing time(11 surprisingly late)..they werent chasin us out or anithin..
i really do love cafe cartel for providing good service great food..n not chargin us another 10% for it
It was way past 11 and i was craving calamari n of all things NYDC doesnt have calamari..so off to balcony bar...
I love love love the decor..with the old school seats and swings at the sides. even the tables are so pretty.
ordered a main to share, fish with butter cream sauce and chippolatas and calamari. it was part of a set meal so came with a drink and a cake..oreo chezcake...
fish was delish. light and slitely salty tho but not too msg-ey. enjoyed it esp cos of the sauce.
chippolatas was the best i ever had. juicy and very eady to bite. was quite angry my bf finished it.
calamari was good too..not like tyres and could be easily bitten into. not salty either.
service was ok..took quite a while to get my chilli sauce but at least i got it..and the ambiance was so relaxed. even tho we were near to two traffic lights didnt realli notice the crowd walkin past due to the huge curtains..
oh n the chezcake was alright..im not a cheezcake person but it was good..not too cheezey..
i love how munchy donuts are nice n crisp on the outside yet so deliciously soft on the inside. and it stays that way even after a few hours unlike other donuts that tend to harden. not only that but the fillings and toppings are generous and not too sweet. such as my favourite chocz o cream..i love the chocolate topping and the filling which is butter cream custard makes it a perfect balance n not too chocolaty..and the latte donut is a perfect weapon against sleepiness and hunger combined..but my two favourites are definitely the oreo donut and coco pops donut..compared with other oreo donuts, munchy's oreo is one u savour bite after bite..and makes u want more when u finish it. as for coco pops..well what can i say..its coco pops..although u might want to eat it right after u get it..if not the pops loses its pop-ness..and it has some intresting flavours too..i was a bit hesitant to try the putting green yet the red bean custard cream is not too sweet n the green tea topping isnt too overwhelming..thou im not a huge fan of the peppermint cheese donut..a bit tooo cheesey but the cheez donut is a must try for cheeze lovers..i was pleasantly surprised when i tried it..the parsely gives it more oomph..
n they have a new flavour, rocky road or sumthin. has both nuts and coco pops..im hooked to that now..
and as simple as it looks the munch me and power pop is delicous too. my mom loves them.
and i love how quick their service is..so mayb i came at a not so busy time but the servers were nice and very patient with me(cos i usualli dont know how many of wic to get)..no 2 hour waiting sessions for me so yay..
n now that theres one at bedok i no longer have to travel to tj katong to get my donut fix.

My first Time
At first i thought of having the chicken baked pasta but i was craving chicken cutlet so i decided to have the Black Pepper Crispy Chicken..with the black pepper sauce on the side..and decided to make it a meal juz by addin 3 dollars..4 since i changed my drink to a 7-up..
i got a salad wic was well salad..not much to say therelah..but im glad that the veges all were fresh and didnt look like they were bought 2 days b4 this..
nxt up my chicken!!!it came pretty quick..arnd 10 minutes mayb...i was like pleasantly surprised to see that there were 2 chicken pieces..and they looked sooo nice..liked that it came with veges n roasted potatoes n not fries n coleslaw..while i love fries me tinks roasted is a more healthy choice..and coleslaw..well oredi im eating deep fried chicken..i dont wantt my arteries to be even more clogged thanks to mayo ok..so im happy with my dish..the chicken was very crispy and inside..it was tender and well i did end up sprinkling a pinch of salt on my chicken and the potatoes..but it tasted nice..enjoyed it very much..and the black pepper sauce went well with the chicken..although towards the end i just poured the sauce on the chicken..
After having bread n butter pudding at royal plaza on scotts im sorry but well obviously the winner will b royal plaza duh..but the bread n butter puddin i had for desert was nice. had a distinct vanilla taste and wasnt too sweet.
2nd time i had the garlic crusted dory wic i love and bf had the chicken ballotine wic was nice too..loved the mushrooms and i loved my dory wic was flaky and not too fishy.
Our third visit was the day b4 valentines. he had a corn beef baked rice, and me fish baked pasta. i hald expected the fish to be mixed with the pasta but i was given breaded fish yay!!!loved loved loved the pasta and the rice...would have liked if there was more cheeze on my pasta though. also had the gluttons platter though my favorite was the chippolatas. service was still good and i relly loved the laid back ambiance there unlike the one at bugis..

Cakes are devine. Tried Royal Noisiette and Black Pearl. Delicious choco mousse with praline in it(RN) and Black Pearl is also delicious..sinful.
Macaroons are good too. Best ones are the White Truffle, Vanilla, Caramel Sesame
Retails @ 1 for 1.80 and 5 for 8.50.
Cakes are 6.50 per piece
