KPO Cafe Bar

Heard it was built for a few millions. When I was stepped in, it was furnished as a modern bar accompanied with such cosiness. Perhaps, it was raining that day.

My friend’s father who was the in-charge and she ordered the good food for our high-tea session.

My friends and I ordered:

-       Sausages (Thick, crispy skin and flavourful)

-       Vegetarian Spring Roll (Done it in a chinese way with thick black sauce)

-       Pancakes (Thicker than the Hotcakes. It was nice for me.)

-       Thick Toast (Done it toasted served with butter and orange marmalade. Feeling so Tai Tai.)

-       Satay (Norm.)

-       Chicken Karaage (never try)

-    Drinks such as the one we ordered (Camomile Tea, Lychee/Blueberry/Strawberry Smoothies) were not good.

What disappointed me was the tea which was not served in a pot but rather a cup. Also, the service was bad.

Did I mention that 50% of before 4pm for certain drinks (e.g. Tea, Coffee, Smoothies, Juices)?

‘Food itself is very personal; do not be affected by what I have written. Try it instead and tell me.’

One of my favourite hangout spots. The place itself looks like a greenhouse, except that it is housing people and not plants. I particularly like the concept of transforming a 2 storey post office into a restaurant bar. Also, it faces the main road which makes it convenient to hail a cab after a session of drinks. There is valet service within their tiny carpark as well if you happen to drive. More than often packed with office ladies and businessmen during weekdays. Thus, considerably difficult to get a table so I would advise reservation if you were to pop by esp on Friday nights.

Beers being very affordable on weekends - S$40 per bucket of 6 Asahi. However, I usually go there for the food - never miss out on the 3 egg omelette and sausage platter. Ceasar salad is a must try as well but I personally feel that it might be better if there is an option to add on smoked salmon.When you place your card behind the bar, it comes with a number tag so it makes it easier for them to trace. Music is awesome but a tad too loud when indoors.

I would say KPO is a good place to chill, gossip and drink till your heart's content.

My friend and i decided to have lunch at KPO this afternoon. Always seen this establishment whenever I'm in town, but never had a chance to dine there. 

When we first entered the place, a waiter greeted us but didn't show us to our seats, instead asked us where we would like to sit (which i thought was rather good, giving us a choice to sit inside, outside, upstairs etc.) The waiters were very friendly and efficient. We were seated, given our menus and our orders were taken promptly! However, my friend told me that when the place is busy, the service tends to be very poor. (Only about 2 other groups there when I was there, about 1pm) 

I ate the steak sandwich which I wouldn't rave about. The steak was well done and a bit too hard for my liking. However i LOVED the chips!! It's tapioca i think? Love it ttm!!! :) 

I really love the ambience there! The music is pretty chill out & just cozy! My friend & I sat there and chit chatted for about an hour and the waiters were friendly through out. They always asked if they could clear our plates, wanted anything else, made small talk etc. But maybe they could have kept the water refills coming. ha ha

Overall, I would say it was a good experience. Just have to go when it's not very crowded :)
