We had our annual christmas lunch at Joan Bowen Cafe – a cafe that employs and trains youths with special needs so that they can develop healthy self-respect and hopefully contribute to society. You can read more about their good work here.

Their menu may not be extensive, but the food served is scrumptious! Plus, their desserts just blew me away!

The Menu & Environment

Was amused by the naming of their dishes like “Belly Dancer” and “The Duck Stops Here”. LOL

Their waitresses in action

Affogato

Expresso with a large scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.

Belly Dancer

Threw my diet plans out the window for this strip of pork belly that had been slow-cooked for 8 hours and then pan-fried till the skin’s crispy. Beautiful!

Chilli Crab Pasta

SJ ordered this unusual dish and I had a bite. It was a bit too “fishy” for my taste but still had a good kick to it.

Alfredo Squid Ink Linguine with Prawns

BL ordered this. He said it was sinfully creamy! *mmmmm*

Below are some of the food my colleagues ordered.

Fish & Chips

Catch of the Day

And then, it was dessert time!

Oreo Cheesecake

The house specialty. It was served like a frozen block of ice cream straight from the freezer! I love the creamy texture of the cheesecake that contrasted nicely with the crunchy bits of oreo.

Brownie

For a chocoholic like me, this wins hands down. Moist, chewy and chocolatey inside with a crunchy caramelised layer of sugar on top, it really hits the spot.

Apple Crumble

This wasn’t as good as the others, due to the fact that the apple filling was not soft and sticky enough, but overall taste was still good.

Wonderful dishes, amazing desserts… there’s no excuse not to try it out at least once!
