If you are in search of some authentic yummy American diner food - then Little Diner is the place to be. Chef Michael Quinn is the executive chef - and is originally from Ireland and then lived in New York City for 12 years, so the food here is a fusion of Irish and American tastes. Little Diner also has a pretty good range of premium beers, ciders, wines and spirits. The service here is really good.

The interior is minimalist with grey cemented walls - notched trowelled deep groove cladding.

Lots of menu boards with daily specials and desserts. So sad they didn't offer the famous red velvet pancakes today )': But we shall return on a weekend to savour these !

Starter
Lafayette Crab Cakes
Light and fluffy Golden Crab Cake Pillows accompanied by an orange pinkish sauce called Chipotle Aioli. The crab cakes themselves were very good but try coating it with the Chipotle sauce, it just makes it taste so much better. Chipotle means "smoked chili" and is a smoke-dried jalapeño. 

Main Courses
Roast Beef Sammie
Is a hand carved roast prime rib, topped with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions in a toasted Ciabatta bread with hand cut fries on the side. The handcut fries are prepared fresh daily, free from preservatives and never frozen so they look darker than your regular MacDonald fries.
I love the Roast Beef sandwich. Is soft and juicy. The staff were so generous to give us an additional serving of smoked Chipotle sauce so - buttering the sammie with delicious chipotle made my day. If you ever come here, ask for more Chipotle sauce hahahah.

Version 2.0 Baked Mac & Cheese Royale
This is a huge serving of Mac & Cheese with Truffle Oil, Wild Enoki (Chinese jin zhen gu) and Shimeji Mushrooms. Baked to perfection, browned and crispy on the top, it's full of yummy cheese and generous servings of mushrooms and less of the pasta (which is the way we like it). Loved the burnt taste of browned cheese and soft mushrooms.
The servings at Little Diner are large and really worth the $ spent. I wanted to try their desserts but I couldn't eat anymore.

This Little Diner is Big Big on our "to return again list". 
Thank You !

is a combination of café [1st floor], bespoke bar [2nd floor], and boutique [3rd floor]. The bar has both indoor and alfresco section offering a captivating view of the city skyline and Sultan Mosque. The night time view is simply awesome when the mosque lights up its towers and minaret !

Unique interior design. Exuding a raw industrial vintage feel with white rustic walls and copper piping light fixtures.
  
Comforting homely feel from the scent of freshly brewed coffee. The aroma can totally cheer you up & brighten up your entire day !


Delighted by perfect crafted coffee art.


Signature Egg Benedict
Prosciutto di Parma & poached eggs & home-made hollandaise sauce & toasted brioches. Yummy.

Fiery Omelette
Omelette & Bird's Eye chili & cheddar cheese & onions & pickled Jalapeño & toast
Love the runny egg omelette. The "heat" added by the Bird's Eye chili is just yummy spicy enough. I love spicy food.

 
Reasonably priced for 2 persons. The café gives a discount of $5 off coffee and tea when mains are ordered. I'm glad that my bf finally brought me here. Nothing makes us happier than perfect brunch, rich aromatic coffee & tea and of course great company! XD
