Breeks Cafe

When you have a malay classmate, you would have to select a Halal venue for a class dinner. We were greeted by commendable service at this Harbourfront outlet, friendly staffs who were eager and polite maintained their smiles and even shouted welcome and goodbye in unison.

Foodwise, they failed to impress. All of us agreed average food at killer prices. Shall go through in order of arrival...


BBQ Half Chicken with Pepper Cream Sauce ($15.90)

With two stumps of yellowish Mash Potato, for Jeff and Gabriel.


Potato Island ($5.90)

The muslim girl ended ordering just an appetiser- deepfried half potaoes loaded with pan-fried crabmeat, topped with mushroom sauce and parmesan cheese. A much cheaper yet filling option.


Pan-Seared Blackpepper Seabass ($16.90)

Mine was third to arrive. The seabass fillet is typically floured before pan-frying, then served with a passable tomato-based pasta and some buttered vegetables. Grapefruit sauce seemed more like cheese to me.


Chicken Pattie Melted ($12.90)

Clarissa's. Minced chicken patty topped with panseared capsicums, onions and then topped with a melted cheddar slice.


Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce ($9.50)

Sarah and Ian went for the pasta-only alternative, which failed to resemble its appetising image in the menu.


Hotplate Salmon Steak ($16.90)

Yingjie was ultra shocked to see his paltry portion of panseared salmon served with a few sauteed potato slices on a hotplate. Xinmei had it too. I'm sure they were only half-filled after the meal.


Baked Dory Glazed with Lime Chilli Sauce ($15.90)

Spicy and tangy panseared dory for sam and junhe.


Baked Dory glazed with mushroom Cream Sauce ($15.90)

Creamy and aromatic panseared dory for Huiling- it could certainly win the healthiest choice award.


Brownie with Warm Cheese Sauce ($6.20)

I could not resist the temptation to steal a bite from Sarah and Krist's dessert... it was such a novelty! The cheese was an unusual accompanimentwhich went surprisingly cooperative with the choco-chips filled brownie, jazzing up the semi-sweetness with a warm savoury touch. Goodbye, chocolate syrups.


Towering Cioccolato ($6.20)

Caroline and Xinmei shared a sundae too.

The bill was a full-time bomb- so a revisit is most unlikely.
