Went to this place a couple of times and hadn't got much of an impression there. The first time I went was in the afternoon, where guests were few and we shared the restaurant with only 2 or 3 other guests. To me, the staffs there were quite slow in serving and seems to act overly friendly but the manager seems to be experienced and good.
So far, we loved baked rice, mixed grill, Brandied cherry dessert (my favorite) and baked fish. And disliked the cheese platter which consisted of only some pieces of biscuits, some English Old Cheese which we don't know how to appreciate. But I must mention the celery were fresh though. Seems like main dishes are well done but side dishes needs more improvement.
Nicely decorated with romantic English country style as the main theme. There will be a live singer there to entertain after 7pm and I must say i think he sings very well. A very nice place to have a cosy outing or a light date. But I do dislike seeing the cooks keep coming outside of the kitchen to "look" around.
Nestled in the midst of Holland Village, Foster – The English Rose Café is the place you would love to spend a lazy afternoon having a heart-to-heart talk with your friends over a cup of piping hot tea. Served from 3pm to 6pm daily, they are famous for its Devonshire Cream Tea that consisted of its signature oven hot Scones, coupled with cake and finger sandwiches and a choice of coffee or tea of your choice.
The good vibe about it lies in the Butter, Homemade Strawberry Preserve and Fresh Cream spread for the scones. Sinful yet delightful, I love the fresh cream with the scones best. The décor and ambience of the place also gets top marks from me, as the old English cottage-styled setting charms one.
But with the pros comes the minuses –the Fruitcake and Sandwiches that come with the set are simply laughable. The cake is similar to those night snack rations the army dishes out and the sandwiches are plain tuna and cheese between two pieces of dry bread.
Where we were seated, the air was also stuffy to the extent warm, and we suspected that they are tight-fisted on their electric bills. Level of service was also found wanting as the waitress did not seem to enthusiastic to serve us.
