Refuel Cafe @ Bedok Reservoir

Hey peeps! A new cafe just opened up at Bedok Reservoir! What's good about this cafe is that it is STILL not well-known yet, so not very crowded! ^^ YAY! Soooo , below are my reviews of it.

Place
Refuel cafe is not that big. Tucked in the corner of a row of shops, it can probably fit about 20-25-30 people thereabouts? The seatings are also kinda "close" to one another so yeap. MY APOLOGIES, I WAS TOO EXCITED I DIDN'T SNAP ANY SITE IMAGES :( I WILL DO IT WHEN I GO BACK AGAIN! SORRRYYY :(

Food
My friend and I ordered a dish each to share with one another. :)

I just needed to post this two up cause I love the photography I did. HAHAHA.

Fuel Me Up
This dish was kinda like a "starter" for us instead. It has "sausage balls baked w mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, egg and sauce". Toast is also served with it.

Reviews: Firstly, the toast is really crispy so both of us like it :) It would suck if they served us soggy bread instead >< When you first try this dish, it's still fine. The taste of tomatoes was really strong, kinda like pasta sauce. The semi rare egg was definitely yummy^^ However, the sausage balls wasn't to any of our liking because it contained herb that both my friend and I hated. Gradually, we got a little too "tired" of this dish so we didn't finish it. RECOMMEND to people whom are a huge fan of the ingredients used. 

Creamy Shrimps Pasta

Review: This dish taste EXACTLY the same as 49 seats' TomYum Seafood Pasta. We had the same thoughts when we took the first bite. I was rather disappointed as I kinda expected something different. Yes, there may be a slight ingredient difference in them but all I can think of when I had this dish was 49 seats. It would be good if Refuel Cafe could twist the spicy cream sauce such that it taste different compared to 49 seats. They will then leave an impression on consumer's mind. For me, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this dish. Try something else here. 

Service

There wasn't much interaction between us and the staff. The only comment that I have on their service would be efficiency. The waitresses were rather quick in clearing plates and cups once they see that you're done with it. Even though efficiency can be good, clearing too fast makes us think that they are chasing us away once we are done :( So yeah. Other than that, nothing much :)

Conclusion: Refuel Cafe is a nice place to chill and relax. It's also a nice place to catch up with 1 or 2 friends :) I will definitely recommend you guys to patronize the cafe. Give other dishes that they offer a try :) They might be better than the ones we ordered. I've attached the menu below for your reference too :) Oh and they do not charge any GST nor Service Charge! 

Below are their details :)

Supply & Demand @ Orchard Gateway.

How are you folks! ^^ I'm so sorry for not updating frequently yeah! Today, I'll be sharing w you about "Supply & Demand", an Italian Restaurant. It has been rather well-known among my friends. I often see photos about this place on instagram and twitter. Therefore, I went to try it out with my friends! :) Below are my reviews :)

Place
It was about 9pm when we headed over to "Supply & Demand". I would definitely encourage all of you to go earlier as there wasn't seats available by the time we went there. S&D has two seating areas. The outdoor (as in the corridor of the mall in front of S&D) area has little seating capacity, can probably fit about 15-20 guests. Whereas the main seating which is inside the shop will fit perhaps more than 50-60 guests. Of course, this is all my estimation. The setting of the place is rather dark yet cozy despite being packed. It has nice decoration too.

Their "outdoor" seating!

Food
(You are just waiting for this, ain't you!^^)
Among the 3 of us whom ordered, 2 of my friends had the same dish while I ordered a pasta. An additional order of truffle fries was also ordered because the scent was so attracting as we waited for seats!
Truffle Fries

Review: The scent of truffle was so strong that we could smell it even though we can't see it. As oily as it seem, it tasted not too bad actually. Yes truffle fries may taste just so ordinary but S&D's chefs did season it with garlic. (Look at the big clove of garlic on top of the fries!) Therefore, with the hint of garlic coupled w truffle, it is a tiny weeny different from other places! :) However, eating too much made us kinda sick so we din't finish it. RECOMMEND

Carbonara Cremosa
I've been craving for pasta so badly so I decided to settle for a plate of Carbonara! 

Review: Firstly, the portion of the pasta was rather big so I didn't manage to finish it. Regretted not ordering a tasting portion instead :( Well, the pasta was very chewy and it tasted really well with the bacon among it. I kinda like it a lot actually, tho I didn't manage to finish it. Haha. However, I added a lot of chilli flakes cause I couldn't eat anything without spices. RECOMMEND. $17.

Chicken

Both of my friends decided to order just "Chicken" and the chef will do it his/her way. You can also have the choice of "beef" or "fish". 

Review: The chicken came with salad and potatoes as side dish. You probably couldn't tell but the portion was actually quite big and my friends couldn't finish it as well. Based on my friends comments, the chicken tasted really well with the sauce drizzled on top. It was cooked just nice, not dry nor bloody inside. It's also rather juicy with the oil shining on the meat as you cut it apart. $17. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 

Service

The service is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. Despite on a full-house that night, the service staff caters to each of their guests with passion. My friends and I added up to a total of 6 person. However, only a table for 4 was available. Therefore, we had to squeeze together. Halfway through our meal, another table for 4 was available. The service staff immediately initiated to combine tables for us so that we'll be comfortable. From here, we can see how considerate they are. Food was also served quickly. It's their service that makes people come back for more. 

Conclusion: No doubt I will encourage you guys to give Supply and Demand a try. Their chicken especially would be a dish that I recommend, PROVIDED you like potatoes and salad. HAHAHA. Furthermore, they do serve beers and wine. Hence, it's a good place for a date or even gathering with your friends ;)
