49 seats (Outram park)
Its one of the day when my Mum texted me in the noon "Dinner together? Venue you choose and call me after you end your work." This message got me excited because I get to cafe-hopped again, striking another list cafe inside my to-do list. I spent a few hours of my IAP time to do some research and yeah, I found this place. 49 seats is situated nearby Outram station which is very near to where my company bus station at.
This new establishment on Kreta Ayer Road is a place one would probably miss without taking a closer look. To me, the food at 49 Seats is understatedly good, and that obviously calls for a bit of recognition. As tacky as it may sound, the name "49 Seats" also mean 49 seats, nothing more nothing less, unless you decide to bring your own foldable chairs. And yes, located at 49 Kreta Ayer Road (yes, the number 49 again), it is no wonder the name "49 Seats" was chosen by its owner. Which makes me wonder why didn't I count if they actually also have 49 different items on their menu.
Tomyum Seafood Pasta ($14.90) The most raved about dish online from 49 Seats! It's one of their signature dish, with bits of clams, prawns and mussels! Resembled eating a thick version of laksa more than tomyum, which is really very unique-tasting and it would take a true tomyum lover to appreciate the taste. Some secret recipe included.
A-MUST-TRY FOR SPICY LOVERS!
The next dish is their Cheesy Chicken Chop ($16.90). Honestly, it’s not as good as it sound. Though the chicken was really tender and chewy, the tomato sauce and the melted cheese didn’t quite match. Honestly, I think it would have been better without the tomato sauce. Mashed potato was just mediocre – nothing to crave about.
To end of the meal, we tried their ice cream and waffles ($10.90). Served together with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, maple syrup and strawberries the presentation is really nice. Ice cream tasted a little powdery (I’m not sure if they made themselves). Also, waffle isn’t crispy enough. I think I’m better off having desserts elsewhere.
49 Seats provides a vibe out environment which makes it a good place to hang out with friends over dinner (especially in big groups). This cafe is very popular during mealtimes so remember to make a reservation. There is also no GST or service charge. Service was quick, staff were friendly and helpful. Perhaps I’m too picky, but I didn’t really enjoy the food here.
