Coffee Club (The Central)

Stop for a moment in front of Coffee Club to inhale a few breaths of the strong coffee aroma. Absolutely tantalizing.


Iced Tiramisu Latte, S$8.90++,
A bitter sweet mix of Tia Maria and Marsala Wine concoction, topped with a rich scoop of vanilla ice cream, and decorated with chocolate shavings.


Iced Mocha Vanilla, S$6.90++,
Vanilla ice cream, cinnamon powder, milk and chocolate syrup complete this scintillating doppio espresso, served with a hint of fragrant mocha and sensual spice. Slurp this up fast before the ice melts and takes a place at the bottom.


Polenta Chicken Bites, S$7.50++,
Appetisers are supposed to whet one's appetite, and this one certainly had done its deed. Fork your way through these bite-sized lemon-infused chicken pieces, coated with Polenta flour and then deep fried. So crispy and juicy, you won't stop at one.


Slipper Lobster Linguini, S$16.80++,
Missed the first word, and we thought that it was a big lobster dish for a moment. In a plate of Linguini cooked in Aglio Olio style, was a fresh piece slipper lobster paired with piquant tomato sauce. Seafood tasted sweet and was rather close to that of crayfishes'; Linguini were supple with a redolent touch of garlic; and capsicums further add on crunch to the dish.


Crusted Dory Gremolata, S$13.90++,
We've never eaten such a crumbly version of dory fillets before, and man, it was remarkable! Two tender dory fillets coated in herbs and breadcrumbs baked till nice and crisp, drizzled with a lovely parsley and poached egg sauce, and served with spicy Chorizo mashed potatoes underneath. Do not be deceived by its dainty presentation, because as you uncover the well hidden portions, you'd be filled to the brim in no time.


Matcha Tiramisu, S$4.90++,
While nice on its own (with red bean fillings, soft spongy cake and all), this however failed its name, 'Matcha Tiramisu' big time. The main Matcha flavour was close to naught, and it doesn't carry any characteristics of a Tiramisu at all.


Muddy Mud Pie, S$6.90++,
Who can resist a giant slab of luxuriously smooth Cappuccino and chocolate ice cream on an Oreo crust, flooded in a pool of more crumbs and ribbons of warm chocolate fudge? This dessert is sure to blow you off your mind, and get you chocolate high.


VERDICT
From their famous coffee, ranging to their desserts, main courses, and even to appetisers, we are loving them all! Prices are, to our surprise, very reasonable for the kind of quality food, relaxing atmosphere, and helpful service we received.

a group of 4 of us, came in slighlty after 6 to relax after dinner.
what we ordered,
hazelnutlatte- friend didnt finished, too awful
almondlatte-cant finish,too awful
mocha java-too awful.
mochacino-really awful to sweet.after adding milk for 2 times, it still taste bad

and it took a good 10 minutes to prepare our drinks. gosh, the restaurant were pretty empty at that time

we ordered some desserts,

mudpie- good, not too sweet, just nice. enough to share
monkey tart- the name doesnt appeal, but, yes, its a winner, even better than the mudpie.like the combo of choco, banana, and vanilla ice cream.yummy.

the server was very nice. (jag), was asking which drink would he recommened, the mochacino or the mocha jave. i decided on mocha java.
after it was delivered, i realised i ordered wrongly, but nevertheless he replaced it without battling an eyelid. and ask me to try the mocha java. real nice guy.
though he forgot to serve the soda spoon for the latte, all is forgiven. the place is nice and quiet.
and the water were refilled.

nice place they have there.too bad, when the night crowd comes in, we were all set to leave.

Wednesday (24 Oct 07). JC and I came here after dinner for drinks. We arrived at about 7:30 PM and it was completely deserted. We were the only customers at that time and it was nice and quiet. After placing our orders, we kept ourselves occupied by admiring the view. Being located on the 3rd floor gives this place a perfect vantage point. It was great to be perched up there to watch the world below go by.

During our time there, a few more customers streamed it, but the peaceful tranquillity was maintained. The seats here are really comfy and they added to the relaxing atmosphere here. We continued to sit around, looking out the windows.

We finally left at around 8 PM when a group of loud and boisterous ladies changed the atmosphere of the place.

We ordered:
JC - iced mocha vanilla, $6.50++
RL - iced berry tea, $5.50++
My iced berry tea was alright. It tasted like ribena with tea.
