Is a cafe-bar where people, food & art come together. Offering western, Asian fusion, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, juices, desserts & beers. I love the ambience - tall glass panels let in natural light, high ceilings made the space feel open and relaxing, dual floors segmented the spaces for smaller and larger groups, long tables for larger groups and collaborative activities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dishes that we ordered were recommended as the popular ones by Lowercase.

 

Salmon Salad

healthy choice - generous chunks of salmon and lots of fresh leaves

 Mushroom Truffles Pizza
love the thin crispy crust with truffle oil drizzled over

Prawn Aglio Olio

The pasta is so al dente. Lowercase had put a dash of spice using chilli padi and made this so appetizing. I added a few drops of tabasco and made it even more awesome !

Dessert

 

Chocolate Pecan Cake with English Breakfast Tea

Lowercase recommended their signature choc pecan ! It was heavenly yummy. Covered with frosting chocolate and roasted pecans, the mild sweetness paired so well with the tea. This is a happy ending for our entire meal.

 

The cost of our 3 dishes - pasta, pizza and salad and our two fruit juices came to $42. I thought this was very reasonably priced for the quality and ambience offered.

Thanks for reading. Love Jia Jia

Ordering time

Such a cute set of coasters for the cafe's patrons.

The little girl mascot on the coaster is Danielle, she's very cheerful, loves to draw and colour and naturally her favourite food is chocolate chocolate chocolate. She also loves to hang out with her 2 dogs - OO and Yu Fa.

The little french bulldog on the cartoon is OO - full of energy, curiosity and mischief.

 Drink - Frozen Hot Chocolate

This awesome drink definitely should not be on the drink menu - it should appear under the dessert menu, hahaha !

It's a thick chocolate drink topped by an Everest of whipped cream. I climbed up the southern face and my friend scaled the northern heights. 

Starter - Classic French Onion Soup

 Sweet caramelized onions topped with baked parmesan cheese. The broth is a tasty rich veal like soup, amidst a generous serving of onions. Now how did the chef know I love love love onions ?

Entreés - Handmade Pacific Crab cake

 Deep fried crab meat seasoning with pepper, served with a lemon butter sauce and mashed potatoes. I like that sourish tangy taste that makes it so appetizing.

Burgers & Sandwich - Mega Club

 

A double-decker club sandwich with pork ham, bacon, omelette eggs, portobello mushrooms, deep fried crispy tender chicken, swiss cheese with honey mustard mayo spread on bread. The mother-of-all sandwiches !

Order time

Our starters were Green Pea Soup and Duck Salad

The soup came with a cute ball of parma ham croquette. The pea soup and the flavour of potato croquette did pair together and was pretty appetizing. I would have liked more of it !

 

Duck Salad 

Shredded duck confit mesclun tossed with homemade lemon vinaigrette, quail eggs (an absolute favourite of mine), orange slices & cherry tomatoes.

 

Is just nice for two. Very light and healthy.

Main course

 

Duck Leg Confit

We were observing what the other patrons were having for lunch. Almost every table ordered this ! This was just yummy with a crispy fatty skin, soft duck meat, homemade mashed potatoes & shiitake mushrooms.  It went very well with the natural orange sauce - I would have loved to have more of the orange flavouring as it was just so appetizing.

Chicken

I'm a chicken lover so this dish was perfect for me for that budget price and ambience. I especially liked the corn and vegetable sides.

Saveur has a second outlet at F.E.P.

The Cajun Kings - is a neighbourhood restaurant serving creole style seafood - fresh crabs, lobsters, prawns, mussels, giant bamboo clams and various seasonal ocean pickings boiled with a unique rich seasoning such as garlic butter, lemon pepper & cajun spices.

 

My mum described the restaurant as "this places doesn't supply dining plates nor cutlery !". How apt ! Everyone uses their 

bare hands to reach into large plastic bags of delicious piping hot seafood, to pry open shells and reach for juicy pieces of clams or shellfish. We were there on a Sunday night and it was full of families and friends.

Interior & Atmosphere 

Bartender area

 

Oh my ! Does the menu include Louisiana gator meat ?

 

A long trough wash basin for us all greedy people !

Order Time

Our server suggested we order the "hot seller" of the house. We chose the TCK Combo.

Protective aprons were provided for us messy eaters !

While waiting for our meal to arrive, we played with Mr. Croc.

 

Starters

Fries to ease our hunger pangs while waiting for our big feast to be served!  

Yes! Here comes the server - he carried a big metal pail with lots of seafood. He reached into the bucket and pulled out 2 large plastic bags.

Peek-a-Boo

Fresh and juicy especially the bamboo clams. The smoked chicken sausages were so good.

My sweet bf, he helped peel off all the prawn shells, clams and returned the seafood to the bags to soak in the goodness.
 

I'm super full and contented (**rubs stomach**)

 

I'm sure I will be back again!
