Decided going on an adventure today. So off we went in search of hidden finds.

We made way to the Little Part 1 cafe - can't figure out why the name is as such. Is there a Part 2 restaurant somewhere?!?! We forgot to ask the staff.

Anyway, we ordered the chicken schnitzel and Irish beef stew.

As for the schnitzel, it came as breaded chicken cutlets with a side of salad greens and mash potatoes. It was a nice dish, especially the mash potatoes, which had sweet corn in it - nice buttery taste. Yum! The salad was fresh with a simple dressing.

For the stew, it was beef chunks with carrots and potatoes and came with salad greens and a few slices of toasted french loaf bread. The gravy was nice, beefy and flavourful. what was slightly disappointing was the beef, which came out a bit dry and stringy.

Overall, the food was alright. What is really nice about the place though is that it is cosy and has a really welcoming and relaxing feel to it. If you have a lazy day and wanted to take things nice and slow, this would be a perfect place to come to. There is nice 80s music, magazines and papers and thank god they don't make you pay for water, and oh yes, one more thing to note, lack of parking space.....it's a pain but it's not the restaurant's fault.

Nice and cosy place. Reasonable prices, a nice quiet alternative to the bustle of Thomson Plaza.

On the food, we had:

Shepherd's Pie - A little too watery and sour (tomato?) for my taste. But the mashed potato is well done and the spices are quite a good.

Salmon Crepe - Looks a little like the frozen prata you can buy at NTUC, but the flavour is different of course. The Crepes are better than average, and a little cheaper than the main courses, so I'd recommend them if you are going there.

Chicken Chop (can't remember the name) - Standard fried breaded chicken chop with herbs on the inside and lots of toasted garlic paste on top. Quite a unique flavour, but very strong taste so not recommended if you are drinking wine.

All in all, a place I'd recommend to people who are in that area.

The atmosphere is good and cozy - good place to laze around.

We ordered the recommended Chicken schnitzer and shepherd's pie for lunch. Both tasted good. The only challenge is the limited parking space.

I was intro to this place by a friend.The Parking Lots outside the Cafe are rather narrow,as i ran onto curb for a few times.The interior of the Cafe is very cosy,and in fact i find it like a little Cottage with the Vintage look.They had a small couch for relaxing and a bookshelf filled with different novels and magazine for leisure purposes. It is the perfect place to chill out with friends and also to relax after a hearty meal.

There are too much Great Food to list out from Little Part 1,in fact they are famous for its (chicken schnitzel and Apple Crumbie).<=== MUST TRY!!

Dinner on 20 Jan 2009: I suggested this place to a friend after reading raving reviews here on this joint that is around my neighbourhood.

We came here yesterday for an early dinner at 6pm.

The place is rather easy to find. It's the parking that's a killer. The driveway for the parking lots is so narrow I ran into the curb going forth or reversing. But all is gd, managed to squeeze into a lot finally.

On 1st look, this place gives me a very cosy feel. I like the drawing and collage of pictures all over the wall and the decor of book cases filled with books, makes me feel like home. :)

Well, it was rather early on a weekday evening and the place was relatively empty, other than a table that's occupied.

We chose to ensconce ourselves on the couch with towels and cushions all over. Very comfortable.

I ordered a mini Silken Tofu Salad (house specialty), my friend a standard House Salad and a Mango Udon Roll (house specialty) to share.

I wasn't that hungry but I remembered thinking why did it take so long for the salads to be served.

When the salads finally came, we tucked in and I was quite delighted with the tofu salad with sesame sauce and the generous sprinkle of pumpkin seeds all over. I polished everything up. My friend's House Salad was doused in soya sauce and she found it a tad too saltish. Halfway through our salads, then was the Mango Udon Roll served. It's mango, vege and udon noodles wrapped in rice rolls. Honestly, it was mediocre even though it is a house specialty. It totally reminded of the vietamese rice roll which I don't like very much.

My friend then ordered Earl Grey Tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which we acquiesce in an opinion that we have tasted better tea and ice cream else where ie Coffee Club Express.

We wanted to order the Pumpkin Yam dessert but they only served cakes yesterday. Awww...I was quite disappointed.

On the way to the loo, then did I realize there's an al fresco seating area out at the back of the cafe! Seems nice. Think I'll come back again to try dining under the stars next time round.

Overall, I am rather fond of this joint. I'll definitley be back since it's quite near to my abode, just to hangout and chill.

Apparently, the owners are arranging for Little Part 2 Cafe to happen soon. This nugget of information was given as I curiously asked why is this cafe called Little Part 1, and whether there are other parts anywhere else. :)
