Roosevelt Diner & Bar + Nakhon Kitchen

Brunch becomes a must in my list during weekend & not that I often have cafes for brunch, I do appreciate simple food at any hawker centre & recently I took up this project with Boyfriend to upgrade our culinary cooking skills so you will see savouring home-cooked food prepared by us and our mentor which is his Mum from the next following posts.




Im still stuck at National day holidays and yes we were given 4 days off so my 4 days plan were fun-filled with plans & activities. On Monday, I brought Mum out for a good brunch because she requested (HAHA). Wanted to be filial for a moment since she has been telling me that I have been enjoying good food without her ( *faint*, always use this method on me).

After a good research from Chope reservation and I booked seats for the both of us at Roosevelt Diner & Bar which was located at Outram Park. It was fairly easy to find, simply get out from exit H and turn right. The shop is right beside the shop.



So fond of being kiasu, the cafe was occupied only 3 tables. But it was peaceful to dine in ( really hate when the cafe was polluted with noise pollution), kinda love Roosevelt ambiance. Check out their Menu on the chalkboard, I could see Happy Hours ( Mon to Thurs) from 5pm-8pm with any order of drinks. You can also see 1 for 1 on all house pours.

I was interested to see Sunday Brunch 11-4pm free flow champagne brunch but neither Mum nor I drink so we skipped that special offer.


No alcohol drinks, that's okay! We have fruit juice ($6) and mint chocolate smoothie ($8). Mum ordered this weird combination of green apple & it was freshly make by the staff.
Mint chocolate was so awesome, the milkshake was thick & I could totally taste the chocolate minty flavour.



Since only the two of us, we ordered two different plates to share. I heard about the waffles so i gave it a try! Going for a challenging flavours, I ordered their triple cheese & ham waffles. The appearance looked kinda plain-jane but when you cut open the waffles, the oozing cheese flowed out onto your plate. 

I really love to try their egg benedict but thinking that I should get something else and therefore I went off with Egg Roosevelt which I assumed its their signature dish. This plate Egg Roosevelt came with Poached egg, Chorizo, Lemon garlic mayo and Smashed potato. The portion came in small but just nice for us.

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!

And if all that isn't enough to convince you the food is great at 49 Seats, you should check out their Cheese Fries with a massive load of cheese and mayo on the top. Even towards the bottom of the basket, there was still enough cheese. Nothing really can beat crispy hot piping shoe string fries with a load of cheese.

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.
