[CLOSED] Roosevelt's Diner & Bar

Crispy and fluffy salted caramel waffles! Love the caramel sauce though the vanilla ice cream can be improved~ excellent service standard though! 👍

Simple. No side of salad or other stuff to glam the plate up (the plate quite glam already la it's stone-hipster alert) but the Benedict was on point. Think crispy English muffins toasted to perfection, fried crab cakes that are crispy, stuffed with crab meat and have a great char to it (aka wok-Hei) and perfectly poached eggs with slightly tart but decadent hollandaise. One word - YUM. It was really good... so good that me and the Friend ordered 3 to share. Aka 3 English muffins, 3 eggs, 3 crab cakes each. Too bad they are closing now as the American style diner was so easily accessible (right next to the MRT), had large seating capacity, and was really pretty. Although it was quite costly, it was worth every single penny 👍🏼 hopefully they will bring their signature creations to Montana so pig in me can continue indulging 😍

New revamped menu though with less item for selection. Smoked salmon egg benedict comes with yuzu hollandaise sauce. Egg is done perfectly. It tasted good but can add more greens on the side to reduce the gelared feeling from hollandaise sauce & runny yolk. Coffee is good, it's just nice not overly rich or mild.

A convenient location right above the MRT station. Upon entering was greeted by the staff and seated toour table. The next moment another came to served ice water without having to request. Generally, the staffs are smiley, friendly and attentive to service. Cosy ambience, a nice bar design. Furnitures can be better well maintained, the cushioned chairs leather are peeling off which doesn't looks appealing.

Well, will still return for the desserts selections of waffles!

Chocolate liquer, Cream de cacao, Amaretto, Gold Flakes. Half expecting a spiked chocolate milk shake, we were shocked by this golden drink. Furthermore I was surprised by how full bodied this drink is! You certainly taste notes of chocolate in it! Hurry down to @rooseveltsdinerbar before they close! Cocktails, wine and beers are 1 for 1!! #burpple #nationalchocolateday #cocktails

4 munchies: Besides the Squid Ink Fish & Chips that was smashing as featured in my earlier post, I am also going to miss this Shiitake Sesame Salmon when Roosevelt's ends its operations on 30 Nov. Comes with soba and sesame dressing, the salad bowl is packed with shiitake, tofu, cherry tomatoes, edamame, and pomegranate. The sous-vide salmon was cooked perfectly to a buttery-soft texture with a medium-rare centre.

Not sure if I should feel sad or look forward to having the Squid Ink Fish & Chips for the last time this weekend. Perhaps the latter since all whiskies, wines and cocktails are one-for-one until Sunday!

A poached egg sits on crabcakes with guacamole and pico de gallo, then covered with zesty creamy guava lime hollandaise.

But just received the sad news that they are closing by the end of the week. I know my favourites here: potato pancakes, truffle potato foam and squid ink fish and chips. Will be missing them... The last chance to order this is this Sunday 9:30pm. Till end, 50% off all whiskey and wines.
