Cafe Review: The Workbench Bistro

The workbench bistro was born out of a vision to create honest, practical and delicious food and drinks. from a small ice cream cafe located in the heartland of singapore, they have grown to a 50-seater bistro offering a diverse menu that includes everything from burgers, pasta and salted egg wings to ice cream, s'moreffles and craft beers. They aren’t afraid to make sure the diners are 100% satisfied when they leave the bistro in ang mo kio.

They started the workbench bistro as a creation of vision, and today that vision is brought to life by their delicious menu offerings and relaxed ambience. by utilizing artisan skills, they create enjoyable foods that will satisfy your taste buds.

Crab Meat Linguine - $15.90

Linguine with lumpy jumbo crab meat in white wine and light tomato cream sauce. The linguine texture was al-dente. The sauce was creamy, tangy sweet and the crab meat was fresh and meaty.

Aglio Olio with Prawn - $13.90

Linguine tossed with olive oil, garlic, fresh chili and fresh prawn. You can choose to go with chicken meat or smoked duck too. I find that the pasta was a slightly dry and plain. But overall taste was pretty alright!

Twb Purple Sweet Potato Waffle - $8.50

Sweet potato waffle with salted camarel Ife cream. The ice cream wasn't that fantastic as we expected. The waffles was even worst, it was totally tasteless and failed!! Don't ever try it!!

Food: 1.5/5
Ambiance: 1/5
Service: 1.5/5

My Verdict:
The food over there was good but not for their dessert. Maybe their normal waffle is good but their sweet potato is definitely a NO. The amtosphere there was noisy and crowed. Not a suitable place to chill and stay for long.

Celebrate Your Lunar New Year with Furama Riverfront

To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year (CNY), Furama RiverFront has designed two special offers featuring decadent seafood dishes, delightful sweet treats and unforgettable stay experiences. Lunar New Year will never be complete without festive delights, so the hotel proudly presents a deliciously imaginative menu offering created by award-winning Executive Chef, William Lum, and his team.

A Delightful Celebration Spread

Anticipate sumptuous Chinese New Year delicacies at The Square @ Furama this Lunar New Year! Indulge in festive must-have dishes such as Pencai, and awaken your palette with Steamed Snapper with Mushroom & Ham with Superior Gravy, Aromatic Coffee Pork Rib, Fried Pork Belly with Fermented Red Bean and much more, available on rotation for lunch and dinner.

Enjoy a complimentary serving of Poached Osmanthus Chicken for reservations

of 8 and above. Keep little ones entertained during Chinese New Year Eve dinner with

activities available at the children play area, Tykes @ The Square. Stand a chance to win a one-night stay or dining vouchers when you dine with them on 27 – 29 January 2017.

Start off my CNY lunch with an welcome drink. This mocktail served in pineapple and orange.

What is CNY without Lou Hei. Lets welcome the year of rooster with a bang. HUAT everyone!!

Salmon Yu Sheng -

It has two pricing! $58++ for 4-6 pax, $68++ for 8-10pax. The one that I having is $68++ serving. The yu sheng comes with the common ingredients.

Time to lou!! As messy as possible!

The taste of the yu sheng is good. The sauces wasn't too sweet, it was just perfect.

Double Boiled Sakura Chicken with Winter Melon Dried Scallop and Honshimeji Mushroom -

Cooling soup for your body. As Cny we always tend to eat too much unhealthy food and junk food. This dish can help to reduce the impact on it.

The broth was aromatic, clear, rich, and lots of nutrition. The chicken they used was sakura chicken, as the chicken will be more organic and good for health too.

Wok Fried Coffee Pork Almond Flakes -

Well work fried pork. The coffee aroma wasn't too overwhelming instead it was just right. The pork meat was crispy on the outer area and meaty, tender on the inner area. I can simply finish the whole plate by myself. As you can tell how good it was.

Braised Sea Cucumber with Sea Moss and Flower Mushroom -

A vegetable dish is a must when having CNY meal. Elderly will definitely love this dish.

Steamed Sea Garoupa in Home-Town Style -

Fish dish in cny mean 年年有"鱼". It's mean May you have surplus and remainders year after year. A common blessing in CNY. Okay, lets back to the food. The fish was well steamed and soaked with the gravy aroma. The fish was super soft and goes well with the light and thick gravy.

Rice Cracker in Superior Golden Broth with Seafood and Coriander Stem -

Interesting dish. A good dish to replace shark fin soup. The dish contain crab meat, pumkin, prawn and fried rice cracker to go on top of it. The rice cracker giving you a different taste of it, and the broth was silky, rich and fragrance. One bowl is definitely not enough.

Chilled Refreshimg Lemon Grass Jelly Delight -

Trust me, this is super good! Perfect dessert to end of your meal. Every bite with the fruits and the herbs will give you different taste. The sesame biscuit come along with it was good too.

My Verdict:
Furama Riverfront definitely is one of the best places to have your Lunar New Year meal with your family. I am going to bring my family over to enjoy it.
