Food Foundry @ Section 17

Alrighty, so this post (and this blog) is way overdue - like many other things in my life. Ahem. 

BUT I have finally gotten round to posting this food review (and hopefully metaphorically or supernaturally getting the other things in life done too). 

Food Foundry

is a neat little cafe hidden in a residential area in Section 17 amongst the flurry of convenient stores, dry cleaners, photocopying shops, etc. Its been around for quite a number of years now, perhaps 10 years or so but has recently regained its popularity (maybe due to the recent facelift, social media and just one of the many to-die for desserts). 

I love their white, minimalist yet cozy feel to the cafe. 

A little on the warm side tho cause its not an enclosed air-conditioned area.

Well, the real reason we checked out the place was because we heard about their to-die for desserts. But our curious minds (and stomachs) couldn't resist the itch to find out what their main meals were like. 

And so..

Chicken Kiev: 

I wasn't impressed with this dish for a number of reasons - the chicken meat was dry and tasteless, there was very little cheese in it, mash potato was bland and the only saving grace was that the brown sauce was tasty enough to make everything else palatable.

Overall rating 6/10 

Smoked Salmon Sandwich: 

(Where's the smoked salmon?)

This sandwich was over onion-filled, which killed the taste of the smoked salmon and left my dear friend with onion breath for the rest of the day (and I am left wondering - how long does onion breath last?!). Also, the bread was slightly starchy/doughy. 

Overall rating: 5/10

THEN THERE WAS DESSERT.

Vanilla Mille Crepe.

Soft. Creamy. Light. Fluffy.

The combination for the perfect dessert anytime, anywhere. 

What else can I say?
Overall rating: 9/10

(Warning: NOT MADE FOR SHARING ;) )
