So i walked ard, saw a few other restaurants along the same stretch. There's Ubin Seafood....
and theres a Yanqing Shanghai Kitchen. I wonder if its open by that local tv host Wang Yanqing. heh... but it sure looked very packed.
And theres this piper's pie...
Apparently its Aussie pie..
Corduroy was really packed for a weekday night...
This is their menu.....
and on the first page it wrote....
" to eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art .. "
their menu was filled with words and no pictures...
Lil bee was also telling me that the Chef cooking today was Chef Ralph. Apparently, he's some very famous chef. He told me abit of background of this chef.. seems like in europe or something the very reputable chefs are actually crowned michelin (ya, and we only koe michelin is a brand of tyres) chefs.. and within it, chefs either haf 1 stars, 2 stars or 3 stars.. with 3 being the best. This Chef Ralph is 2 stars.. wow.. sounds like an honour to haf him cook for us! (btw.. this 'information' is summarised based on wat i remember.. wrong dun blame me.. especially if u try to relate it to some others to impress den backfire, dun blame me)
And our food came...
we had a seafood cream soup. Rather unique.. definitely doesnt taste like canned soup and lotsa fresh seafood ingredients. Usually fresh seafood soup would be tomato based but this is cream based.. rather good.
For mains, lil bee had the uberburger (no, dat dat $100 over at at milennia walk).. this is their sirloin burger. I felt i was alright, not much of a rave. Oh... and actually, the Uberburger at Milennia Walk is by the same management as Corduroy & Finch. Lil bee gave me alot of his beef patty! Haha.. Loved the salad dat came with it.. its really good especially the mushrooms!
Lil bee ordered a slow cooked chicken for me. The tomatoes on it was super good. The chicken was not bad except its breast meat. haha.. i prefer drum! But it was still good. Comes with mashed potato.
After our soup and mains, lil bee ordered a vanilla tea for me to try coz he had the idea i like vanilla which is true....
As soon as the tea arrived, the aroma of vanilla could be smelt. Nice tea! And the biscuit dat came wif it was so damn good! Coated with fine sugar.. very nice! Before i took a bit, lil bee was telling me dat he has this feeling i'll love the cookie.. and he was RIGHT! haha!
Lil bee also ordered a dessert sampler for 1 for me. Basically, its up to the pastry chef to select a number of the many many mini desserts they haf for today and place it on a plate for u. We had already seem a few other tables ordering a few samplers and its all different. It seems they are really reknowned for their pastries.. tiramisu alone they've got 3 different flavours! Heard from lil bee dat the chef really takes pride in the desserts.
This is my set...
There was a chocolate cake which was more of dark chocolate which i din really like coz im not much of a dark chocolate person.
There was a strawberry cheesecake.. i prefer bakerzin's one.
There was this passion fruit cake which din make much of an impression.
And u were just getting sian.. why all my feedback seems not so positive eh? Well, i din say they were not nice.. just not my cuppa tea.. but READ ON.
Their tiramisu, u're provided with a small spoon to dig thru the layers and scoop everything and put them into ur mouth. Its really quite good with that green tea taste lingering in the mouth!
Den theres this pudding (which i said tasted like cold creme brulee but lil bee said its not) which had rasphberry and mango sauce on top (thank god the mango sauce was minimal.. heh) and its oh so yummy... i like!
The BEST BEST BEST amongst the sampler MUST be the apple pie... its so so organsmically (duno if theres such a word, dun care!) nice! YUMMY! Lea, if u like coffee club's u MUST MUST try this one.. its simply marvellous!
haha.. i was so full i finished the tiramisu, the creme brulee like pudding and of coz, left not a bit of the apple pie and made lil bee finish off the rest for me. wahahhahaha!!
We were at level 2 so this is from level 2 looking down....
and theres this sofa section where theres a bookshelf and heard from lil bee dat boardgames are available as well....
After we were done, we went downstairs.. this is their cakes section and some of the cold items they sold...
And their merchandise section....
And this section nearing the kitchen....
And this section where there are heart shaped chocolates and candies!
and by the counter, there were lotsa sweets and candies...
refer the the centre pic above.. its chocolates dat are packed in cigarette pack liked cases! So cute! Hmm.. forgot to ask lil bee if the chocolates inside are in the form of cigarette sticks. haha..
The whole feel of Corduroy is that this place has so much more to offer. It makes me wana go back to try more of its stuff!
Also, aside from the very friendly staff, the customers are also pretty friendly. I was smiling to a caucasian guy who was smiling to me.
