Great ambience with friendly staff! Went there twice and at both times enjoyed the food there =) I think that the dinner crowd will thin out at around 8pm which was why both times I was there I got a place pretty quickly

I would recommend the Indian food, personally loving the Butter Chicken which is served with 4 pieces of Garlic Naan. It is yummy though I wish the spicy kick in the gravy could be a bit stronger.

Chicken chunks were generous and the owner is a really nice Indian lady who was kind enough to make us comfortable to make the dining experience much better!

Tried a sip of my friend's mango Lassi and it is pretty good! Robust in flavour and smooth in texture!

The guys in the group had the Nasi Briyani and they love the portions which it comes in! It is pretty tasty to boot!

Pad Thai and Fried Hor Fun was good too and it came piping hot!

Prices are not dirt cheap but it is still a pretty nice place to hang out if you want a variety of food and a nice ambience to chill in ;)

The night at Fat Cat Bistro unfolded in usual fashion, with drinks flowing freely. So did the light-hearted conversations around the table. With settings similar to that of a coffee shop albeit with the mojitos, draft beers and other cocktails doing it's merry rounds, this encouraged a communal and very intimate setting. Very suitable for small group gatherings or even family meals. Just be mindful that the place is open-air meaning that things can get a little sticky around here so dress appropriately for the occasion, dress light. 
From the start, service was efficient, friendly. Starters consisted of Crispy Pork Ribs ($12 for 5 pieces) and Thai Mango Salad ($10) from the Thai kitchen; the former was very well received. crispy yet deliciously juicy on the inside, this was a delight to eat even sans the chili dressing. The mango salad on the other hand was average, the balance of sour, sweet, salty and spicy could have been better fine tuned. 

The Goat's Cheese Salad ($10), representative of the Western kitchen (The French Onion) was a surprising winner as well with it's generous serving of lightly grilled cheese with mixed leaves tossed in a light coating of french dressing. 

But the clear winner in the starters category were the Mantra Wings ($8 for 6 pieces) from Masala Mantra. Fried to perfection, these golden wings were perfect snacks to go along with the drinks available at the bar. The light use of Indian spices in the marination adding a bit of kick to the overall addictive experience. 

With respect to mains, I honestly lost track at some point of time. A few of my personal favourites were the Saag Paneer ($12) and the Mutton Vindaloo Curry ($12), pity that the naans we used to mop up the curries lacked fluffiness and the authenticity of those that have come out straight from the tandoor.  Another would be the green curry, my take on the Thai food served from Thai Yai (the thai food stall) seemed to lean more on the sweet side, a strange trend that spreads across all its representative items for the night.

Offerings from the Western kitchen that night included the Australian Tenderloin and Seas Bass. Not too suitable for sharing, I was a tad biased against these dishes. That aside, flavors were faultless and portion sizes were decently priced. 

The desserts made their mini parades soon after. I chose the Mango Sticky Rice .Served with dried shards of coconut, that added a refreshing bite to the otherwise monotonous dish with only soft and chewy left to describe it. This rendition was well executed with the glutinous rice cooked to a nice doneness and that sweetened coconut milk drizzled generously over. The Chocolate lava cake possessed a very unnatural sweet flavor probably hailing from the use of cheap compound chocolate within but I'm sure the less finicky would happily settle for this dish.

A group of us went to Fat Cat recently to sample the diverse offering they had. Diverse because Fat Cat's concept is a bit like those coffeeshop c** food corner found in various HDB blocks: there were three food stalls serving Indian, Thai, and French dishes; while Fat Cat itself is the beverage operator c** proprietor. Accordingly, the ambience here is different from the other eateries around - don't expect a fine-dining / romantic experience.
 
Our big group ordered more than 10 dishes to pass all around to sample. Service was efficient; the food arrived faster than we could finish them and we soon ran out of table space.
 
The verdict all around was that the Indian stall came up the winner for the night. The dish that got the most votes as best for the night was their Mantra wings - very crispy chicken wings. All their other dishes we tried were great too, with special mention to the aloo gobi and saag paneer. The paneer sauce had a great creamy texture better than most other paneers I have tried accompanied with a mild flavour, and I was happy to mop it up even as others on the table has finished the cheese pieces and diverted their attention to the other dishes.
 
And here is one advantage of a concept like the Fat Cat's : rarely do I get to eat naan dipping it into Thai instead of Indian curry; in this case green curry and a bit of red duck curry. I personally liked the crispy pork ribs best amongst the Thai fares - sufficiently crisp yet tender inside, not too oily, and came with some wonderfully sweet cherry tomatoes that balanced the fried stuff well.
 
The western flavour of the night was somewhat underwhelming, though not necessarily bad. I had a bite of the tenderloin, which was nicely juicy, but didn't leave much of an impression. I think the problem was not so much with the steak but the fact that the western dishes were more suitable for individual rather than communal dining - a steak cut out for sharing by so many people somehow just doesn't leave enough flavour to be memorable. We also had the seabass with bell pepper, which was even less memorable. The goat cheese salad went down better, possibly because it was easier to share.
 
A few dessert made an appearance afterwards: the mango sticky rice got the most orders (and a thumbs up from the Wife) but was unfinished due to limited space in most bellies. The tiramisu was notable for the satisfyingly high alcohol content. My own order of chocolate bomb oozes chocolate lava which unfortunately I found a tad too sweet (and way too sweet for the Wife), and was rescued by the scoop of vanilla ice cream we ordered along with the cake.
 
The drink selection here deserves a mention too. I'm pleased enough with my choice, Kopparberg Pear Cider, to recommend it as the best cider I've had yet. If you like some sweetness in your alcohol, give it a shot.
 
All in all, a pleasant place to drop by at and we'd be happy to visit again when we're in the vicinity.
