I am exceedingly boring. I come here so often I should just invest in Coffee Club stock options should they ever decide to list.

But anyway if I haven't mentioned before, one fantastic thing about Coffee Club is tt it's one of those places tt almost always has seats, even if most of the other restaurants at Holland V are packed with queues. Best of all - it opens till late (I think I've mentioned this before already).

And the ambience is always comfortable, and the service is usually decent. Since there have been a lot of complaints abt coffee places tt make it a point not to serve iced water, at least Coffee Club serves iced water promptly and without you having to ask them.

So far, I like the baked pastas here. I've come to realise that the Alfredo - which is the baked pasta with ham and cheese in a cream sauce - is very decent. If you like ham and cheese the way I do, you simply cannot go wrong with this. If you want something lighter, you can try the crepe champignon if you like mushrooms. It's not bad too, but I personally feel tt pricewise, you're better off with the alfredo.

And now tt they've revamped some of their dishes, the caesar salad has been upgraded to being presented in a parmesan bread bowl. Tastewise it's still the same of course, although I notice tt they do not pack on the dressing as much as they used to - which is a very good thing because the last time I suffered from a dressing overload. If you don't like salads for your starters, the calamari is not bad as well. Nice and squid-like, I suppose.

As for desserts, while the fresh fruits fondue is pretty worth it, IMHO, the other desserts aren't all tt bad either. My bf ordered the apple crumble, which he liked, and I got the white chocolate parfait with raspberry sorbet. As always, very nice presentation. Comes in the form of a small white round cake of white chocolate cream and ice-cream, with a filling of raspberry sorbet. Makes me realise tt really sweet and creamy chocolate can go well with icy tangy raspberry. Quite interesting, but only if you like your dessert really sweet, as I do.
