Organic Cafe Xperience

Hidden underground in the basement of Tampines Century square is a little restaurant serving up healthy organic food and still cashing in on the health craze that was ignited a few years ago. This alone should be testament that the restaurant serves food of a certain quality otherwise, it would have been removed from the food scene a long time ago. One fine afternoon, after passing by the restaurant countless times, i finally mastered enough drive to go in for a visit. Alone.

Now, most of the time, i do not care if the food is organic or not or if it was healthier if it was. In fact, as long as the taste of the food is good, i pretty much eat anything. The reason i was drawn into the restaurant this time is because i saw beef tenderloin at a rather attractive cost of only $14.90. Now that certainly looks like value for money. The meal itself is actually rather simple, nicely cut tenderloin steak with pasta done al dente with boiled broccoli and carrot with accompanying mushroom sauce. The steak itself is done medium rare and had a wonderful chewy texture with all the juices intact. The mushroom sauce that came with it was done well and not salty. All items in the dish was fresh and the greens were especially sweet. Nicely done.

Total bill for one person came up to $17.55 which is a little expensive but i still feel its worth the money.

For a place serving organic and healthy food. I'm surprised by the quality of the food. If anything, its definitely above average but the price of admission is also above average for a simply decorated joint. If they could get a place on their own while still maintaining their current price point, we'll have something special to look forward to.
