Dinner with Wifey at Grub Cafe

Before you head to Grub cafe, my biggest advice to you is...... bring along all your insecticide, insect repellant, patches and whatever you need to get rid of all that mosquitos! OMG... i am still recovering from the massive mosquito attack on my feet T_T~ It's super disgusting painful and irritating!

*well~ you could also request for an indoor seat, but that is if you are lucky, because they are usually quite packed =(

But aside from the irritating mosquitos the food and ambience there is pretty good. There's nothing to hate really, being able to take a stroll in the park after a nice dinner^^

Just a side note~ I am super happy to have bought the fantastic Samsung S6 for wifey and I =) All photos in this post are taken from the S6 and check out the quality in low light situations! Its much better than some of the point-and-shoot cameras that i've used before! =)

Anyways, what caught my eye almost immediately was the decor at Grub cafe. It has a very clean, no frills, warmth and cosy feeling which i like very very much. And it has the most basic, fundamental and practical thing that every cafe should have, if you ask me. And that is, big tables and chairs that are neither too low or high from the table top! How many times have you been to cafes with such puny little tables whereas their plates are so huge! They like to serve on mega huge plates so that they can be more creative with the plating, which i think its really nice to have but come on... the tables have to be relatively big as well ya? And chairs... especially sofa chairs... it's nice to have one, but it sucks if you have to keep reaching up or lean forward just to grab your cup of coffee or tea.. So what i am happy about Grub, is that the decor and settings are just right, very comfortable =)

Just chill and sip on a cup of delicious Yuzu Mint Soda and Latte~~ Love Life~~~ =)

At Grub, you MUST order the Mentaiko Fries! Mental + Fries = OMFG AWESOME! Super duper nice! And if your meal comes with fries, the waiter/waitress suggest that you change it to salad because you already ordered the Mentaiko Fries... DON'T! Well.. not because they are trying to cheat our feelings la~ but because the Mentaiko Fries comes with.....

Mentaiko 'sauce'!! So you can dip your fries into it as well! One plate of Mentaiko Fries is definitely not enough! =X

The next most recommended finger food is the Fried Chicken Drumlets =D~~ Its really pretty special! Notice the yellow sauce thingy that is drizzled on top of the drumlets? That is salted egg 'sauce' and it is totally legit when mixed with the drumlets! Dam niceeeeeee!^^

Wifey didn't really eat much, so she ordered a Mushroom and Cheese Quesadilla which is pretty good! In my opinion though, the best quesadillas that i've had in Singapore is still the one at Chilli's , but for the of $8, this is pretty okay =)

The finger food / appetisers are around $5 - $9, which is pretty affordable and the quality is not bad.

I am the only one who ordered a main and it has to be their signature Double Cheeseburger!!! It was SAF Day, so i got a free upgrade from their normal Cheeseburger to Double Cheeseburger =)  *awesome~* The beef patty was a little dry for my taste, but overall its okay. Grub really don't hold back on the ingredients / condiments etc. Check out the thick layer of cheese and there is a bacon right at the top, above the first beef patty as well! omg... yummy!!!

Satisfying meal =)

This is the one thing that actually triggered us to head over to Grub for dinner, Churros!

Okay...

Honest opinion about the churros at Grub is that.. it really is a bit too normal. The Churros itself was kinda hard and tasteless. If the coating of sugar around the Churros can be of better quality, it would definitely make it taste better. And the Churros itself, the dough can be kneaded more thoroughly so that the external part of the churros can be crunchier while the inner part of the churros can be more soft and 'airy'.

Last but not least, the chocolate used for the churros was too watery. I honestly couldn't taste the chocolate that they used for the churros because it was pretty bland.

All in all, Grub still is a very nice place to chill out with friends and/or your other half. It is a very nice, quiet and peaceful place to hangout and the finger food there is totally awesome!
