Café De Amigo was named the “Most Popular Theme Restaurant” in Year 1999 and 2000 by Gourmet Hunt / RadioCorp Singapore. It was previously located at the Specialist Shopping Centre. This new place at Funan DigitaLife Mall is slightly bigger now and not so cram. You will be surprised there is also a live band playing some light jazz music while you eat in the evening between 8pm-930pm! So with the band playing in the backdrop, the restaurant has almost succeeded in creating an overall great ambience with just nicely dimmed lighting for a great evening with friends and family! You will love it! Its also probably one of the places you could go if you are wine lover too. The owner, Mr Tommy Lam is a wine connoisseur and he brings in a whole load of good wine. Check out the wine room there!
Ted and me went for the Set Dinner at S$42++ per pax that evening. The menu offers some great choices too. Here’s what we had:
Appetisers: - Scallops Florentine - Oysters natural (+$3)
Soup: - Cream of Potato - Soup of the Day (Pumpkin Soup)
Main: - Pork Chop (mushroom sauce) - same
Dessert: - Freeezing Tiramisu - same
Drink: - Hot Lemon Tea with Honey - Café latte
Of course, there were more choices available on the menu for the set! Most likely you can find something you want to eat without complaining there is a limited choice.
The cuisines were simple but yet fantastic! The Scallops Florentine were baked with cheese and were so soft, creamy and fresh. Two scallops were just too little for greedy me! Ted’s Oyster Natural were delicious too!
The Cream of Potato soup was very smooth and thick but I find it a little too sour for my liking! Ted's Soup of the Day (Pumpkin soup) was a good choice! It was creamy and sweet.
Our mains were served. Never knew pork chops could be this good! There were three pork slices served and they were REALLY soft, juicy and tender!! Cooked with a little black pepper and served with mushroom sauce, I think this one deserves three stars! The dish was garnished with carrots and broccoli. Simple presentation but the cuisine scored! Ted agreed too.
Lastly, we had our dessert. The FREEEZING Tiramisu! Like its name, the middle layers were ice cold and freezing! Real delightful one! YUM! We finished the evening with our coffee and nice sweet hot lemon tea with honey, chatting away happily in the dim light and jazz music...
