The Verandah Cafe @ ACM

Had decided to drop by this cafe for lunch before embarking on our journey to the forbidden city! A very nice quaint place at the back of ACM. It has that totally out of Singapore feeling while dining at the cafe. Very European-ish / small-town Japanese cafe. It does help that we were seated at the best table in the 24 seater cafe. Next to a window overlooking the Singapore River. And most of the people who came into the cafe are angmohs. It eludes a quiet charm and relaxing ambience that you can just nuah there the whole day! aww.... (^^,)

Food was surprising good though the selection was quite limited. i had the Chef's Special ($7+) which happened to be grilled chicken and mashed potato. Added $3 for soup of the day and tea to make it a set.

Such a charming little place, i would definitely come back again! Too bad the mood and atmosphere can't be captured in a photo. You really have to be here to experience it! We spent almost an hour and a half at the place and maybe probably longer if the sun has not shine onto us. :p


Seafood chowder but there are more vegetables in it than seafood. But i quite like the hearty chunks of vege!


i like the chicken. The mashed potato is quite nice too. It has garlic mixed in it so it's not as plain as it looks. The funny thing is the food here has that "artificial" steam that gives a false impression that it is steaming hot. "Artificial" cos it is not that hot.
