I know it sounds a little funny on why the cafe is name that way. I know no history of the origin of this white dog, but then its just the name of this cafe that I feast at. And I must say its not that bad, judging from the outlook of the place and food.
In conjunction to celebrate our 6 years and 4 months together, my girl and I end up at White Dog Cafe at Vivocity, which she introduced me to. Serving mainly western dishes, we gazed at the menu for a while before ordering our food. So I ordered a plate of Baked Mussels, together with my A La Carbonara for my main course and a Clam Chowder for soup of the day. She ordered some Viennece Sausages. Sounds Italian.
Amazingly the Clam Chowder is literally clam in soup, which was what normally restaurants and cafes that I ate DON’T serve. Normal cafes like Cedele only serve clam chowder as if its just an ordinary Campbell’s soup. This one’s different. Fantastic stuff. So came the Baked Mussels. Well, I’m not sure if my taste buds were wrong, but I could hardly taste the mussels. But its not that bad, given that its baked with spaghetti sauce and cheese.
Was waiting anxiously for the main course - the A La Carbonara. I must say that it serves one of the finest carbonara I have eaten in years. Creamy and tasty, its cooked with pork bacon and onions. Rarely have I seen carbonara cooked with Onions. And this one’s a dish that doesn’t disappoint. Every mouth I swallowed with greatness. Superb and fantastic. Enough to fight with Pasta Fresca’s.
Then I tried the Viennece Sausage that darling ordered. The sausage was good, just that the sauce that the mash potato was poured onto tasted like petrol (It's my taste buds that day, oh well, I'm not dead yet. LOL!). Its not that I tasted petrol before, but then my taste bud may have gone weird, but I couldnt taste wrongly. Maybe its the way its cooked. But I don’t like it though. Hmmm..
Price was alright, like almost every other restaurant. Ambience was cool, judging that I saw at the window area, facing Sentosa. But judging from the noise level just now, I believe that this restaurant is also a place for families to have their meals there as well. Friendly staff with good service. I suggest you could give this restaurant a go ahead if you wish to have a decent meal. =).
