yong tau foo – S$4.10 for 7 items 

it was good. price was good too.

i had 5 pieces for S$2. but my veg was S$0.60, & the cuttlefish, a humongous piece, was S$1.50, so total S$4.10. they wrote there small $0.60, medium S$1, large $1.50.

i was ok with it la.

yong tau foo – S$4.10 for 7 items 

cilli & sweet sauce were all good.

i had a pig skin, a teochew fish cake, a taupok, a fried dumpling & a green chilli – 5 pieces.

unlike the ytf stall at kopitiam @ SGH, the fish meat in the taupok & chilli was generous, not meagre.

i like all of them.

cali wings

not sure how i ended up with 2 groupons for cafe cali.

Groupon S$15.90 3-course meal for cafe cali

maybe itchy fingers & press wrongly??

anyway, found out it is expiring on 20.11.2016.

luckily able to get my sis to come for lunch on 19.11.2016. ^^

cafe cali @ park avenue rochester

i parked across the street from park avenue rochester hotel.

parking still S$0.50 for 1/2 hr, not bad la…

restaurant seating ambience not so great, like a cheap place, but cheap ok la…as long as good. lol! 🙂

cali wings

the other choices did not attract us.

so we ordered 2 cali wings for appetizer. good choice!

presentation was restaurant standard.

the wings also restaurant standard, better than har jeon gai in most of the zi char places.

salad quite nice too, refreshing, and a bit of bearnaise? went pretty well with the wings too.

striploin steak

for the mains, i had wanted to try both the steak & the wagyu burger.

sis thought we should order another dish that is not beef, so we picked pan-fried salmon.

this striploin medium rare standard better than i expected.

i was thinking like coffeeshop or food court or even aston’s, but this was good restaurant standard.

striploin steak

not sure what steak?

not the very tasty wagyu steak of course, but it was sweet.

striploin steak

and tender enuf. some tougher parts & mostly no residue.

not a top steak, but not lousy steak also, and done well la! 🙂

pan-seared salmon

the pan-seared salmon also restaurant standard, both in presentation, taste & treatment.

pan-seared salmon

crispy skin, a good steak, a good potato mash, sauce, very competent la!

pan-seared salmon

moist, good standard. just salmon steak not my favourite la,,,

vanilla ice cream

ice cream, not much to say.

x’mas decor at cali cafe

cafe entrance was in disarray!

doing x’mas decor during business hours while guests were entering & leaving?

service was polite ok but not enthused, not forthcoming nor particularly helpful.

they don’t serve plain water, only bottled water, not a good idea in my opinion but that is the restaurant’s prerogative. seems strange for the market positioning, which is basically cafe, though the food was pretty good by cafe standards.

for S$15.90 nett, i guess the groupon deal was pretty good for this standard of food la…
