And I'll repeat my advice again.. Don't go to Cafe Cartel when it's crowded! Seriously, just find another place to eat.
When I went to this branch with my friends, it was horrible. Our table is adjoined to a table beside us occupied by a couple. Well but in the end the staff did bring us a separator between our tables though..
CAn't remember what I was having that day. I think it's another pan-fried linguini.. Or... Er I don't know. Hahaha.
Service was bad. We called out several times to refill our glasses. I think it took us 4 or more calls before our glasses finally were refilled.
And since it was crowded.. The bread is gone! When the bread finally came, everybody just flocked around the bread table. Makes the space even more cramped.. Haiz...
I tried their cakes here. Didn't like it. The sponge cake was not spongy at all. Don't know how to explain it.. It's just.. Not spongy -_- the chocolate cake was not very nice either. Hmm maybe because I came late so the cakes were the leftovers? Who knows...
I gave this branch 2 stars based on my experience that time. I've visited this branch only once.. ANd I believe they are actually better when it's not very crowded.

Service level also varies. For instance, one time when I was there with my boyfriend, we couldn't get one waiter to attend to our order. Of course we know we can go to the counter to give our order but won't it be nice if the waiter comes? And it wasn't even crowded. (My boyfriend ended up going to the counter anyway) But then after that our glasses of iced water were never empty. They always quickly filled up our glasses. Now tell me how should I rate the service if it's like that? Sigh..
My biggest advice for anyone who wants to eat at Cafe Cartel is... Please don't go there when it's crowded! You might end up being seated at the uncomfortable and narrow seats tables and not getting any bread at all! (the bread is nice btw)
The same thing goes for food. One day it was sooo good. (I think I had the pan-fried linguini). Then the other day I tried their Fish n Chips, it was too crispy and oily.. Also when I tried their grilled chicken with mushroom sauce.. No mushroom present in my dish! Strange.. I have tried many other dishes I guess, since I actually come here pretty often with my boyfriend or friends.
Oh and their set lunch is very nice! It's very worth it ^^
So since they always confuse me.. I guess 3 stars will be enough lah. Just in the middle. Hehe.

i think the problem is that they dun hav the same definition of comfort. sure, bouncy and soft chairs are nice for hanging out n TCSS but not for eating! Especially when the table is high. Drowning...

Can't remember what I had for ping.sg event either. I think it was cajun dory. Even though I don't remember the name I do remember that it was very very nice! And what I like the most... Is the dessert! The dessert that came to my place was apple crumble with some vanilla ice cream. Oh goodness it was so good! I think i was the one who ate the most =P sorry my friends at the table... =P
i want to visit this restaurant again! Will drag my boyfriend... =P

I don't really like this branch of kolo mee. You see, I'm a big fan of kolo mee for its tasty noodles! But this branch simply doesn't cut it. Location is not nice and noisy since it's on the roadside. Furthermore it's kinda dusty from the road, too. They serve the same menu and I ordered the same thing as usual (recommended kolo mee - with char siew, wanton, and prawn), but it didn't taste as nice! Gotta put a lot of chilli before I finally got to the familiar tasty taste. It's kinda more oily than the one in Killiney too.
If you really crave for kolo mee, I suggest you take the trip to Somerset and go to the Killiney branch instead. It will be more worth it.

The ordering system is kinda troublesome though. You have to walk to the counter to place the order. Haha. Sorry, I'm a spoiled girl. I like my order to be taken by a waiter who comes to my table! =P Oh the good thing is usually the person at the counter speaks English! Yeay! This is beri beri important to me you know, as a person who looks Chinese with nearly zero Chinese knowledge.
I don't like their beverages =( they sell those pre-packed beverages.. They have luohan longan, lime juice, and aloe vera if i'm not wrong.. But those are not delicious! Maybe it was because of citric acid.. It feels funny on your tongue.
However all in all, I really like this place! I used to come here with my group of friends, chatting crap endlessly. How I miss those times! Will urge them to come again!
