Some say it is the old Ms Clarity Cafe. Well, I've no idea since Katong is really out of the way for a MRT traveller like me. Someone suggested to try this joint, and transportation is available, so why not.
It was 820pm when we reached and parked at this dimly lit carpark.

The cafe was about 80% full, but we were in a party of 5, so they told us to wait for a group that was leaving. And they will clear the table for us. So we sat outside, and pored over the menu.

We felt like the forgotten child. No one updated us on the status of our table, no one came to take orders, and no one offered us even a glass of water...
We finally got a table and ordered our food at 9pm....
maybe this is disclaimer to thwart unhappy customers?
it took them 20 minutes to clear a table...

half full or half empty?
farm yard
root beer float
pan seared dory (which was super salty! so at your own risks!)
chicken cordon bleu
bacon and sausage baked rice
bread and butter pudding
Some of their dishes looked quite good, for example the escargots from other people's table, the giant chicken leg but a word of caution is do not expect too much out of the food or the service. We've seen at least 1 chicken leg sent back to the kitchen because it wasn't cooked properly at certain parts, and our own pan-seared fish dory (2 plates) were overly salty. The drink that came with the set meal, is so diluted you'd wonder whether it was really fruit punch.

Tampopo @ Liang Court
National Geographic Cafe @ Vivocity
Easily located inside the National Geographic shop, the cafe is the first section you'll see when you walk inside. A sharp contrast of moods. Outside always busy with the hustle and bustle of shoppers (especially during weekends!), inside it is almost serene but not in a zen like mode, more like the quiet before a major discovery...
Just walk into the cafe, and find a seat on your own. No fuss. Furnishing is almost exotic. I liked it as I felt the furnitures gave the cafe, character.

Being tea time, we didn't order a lot. Just a drink and a cake to share.
chocolate truffle cake
cafe mocha classic
vanilla milkshake
If you'd like your drink (that contains milk) to be low-fat, do inform the service staff and they'll gladly make it for you.
dense cake
fluffy cream
