HIHIHIHIHIHI!!!! May&FJ are back today with a food outing at The Orange Thimble with Joey!!!! We're sure many of you have heard of this little cafe located near the Tiong Bahru Market. It was a cafe that we've chanced upon and made a mental note to visit again. 

We met at about 7pm to walk in to the cafe, it was about a 7-10 min walk from the Mrt Station. We almost got ourselves lost if not for the somewhat trusty google map that decided not to fail us.

The interior was nice, rather cosy. We stepped in and got ourselves treated a couple lazying on the couch showing some great amounts of PDA. (This sentence is, was and still is, loaded with a whole bag of sarcasm) So we decided to stay FAR FAR away from them. 

Okay, back to food, we ordered a Chixie ($8.50), a Chicken Stew ($10.90),a Shepherd's Pie ($9.90), a Single scoop of Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream ($4), a Double scoop of Cookies&Cream and Lychee ($7.50) and Joey had a Tiramisu ($8). The bill totaled to a $48.80. Yes, we have included their menu here!!

Chixie:

• Crispy Bread, perfectly toasted. Even after it was left out for a long time, it was still crispy. We were AMAZED.
• Generous servings of Salami, Cheese, Lettuce and Chicken Chunks
• The Salami complemented the Cheese.

Chicken Stew:

• The chicken was tender.
• Soft potatoes and carrots, but not to the point of mushy. (Real good stuff!)
• The stew was absolutely appetizing!
• You have a choice to either have plain pasta to go with it or have some toasted Baguette. Take the Baguette, the plain pasta does not absorb the soup taste. You'd just taste the different items separately even though you've mixed them together.
• We feel that the soup's kinda small in portion. (Could have offered more soup and less of the pasta.)

Shepherd's Pie:

• Generous servings of Cheese and Minced Beef that was well seasoned.
• We would say that it's not bad but not an absolute must try dish.

Desserts:

• When we first saw that one scoop of ice cream costs $4 we all said that Wimbly Lu charges cheaper. But when we saw the portion, it was worth the $4. It's like 3-4 times the size of Wimbly Lu's which costs $3.
• Sea Salt Caramel ice cream came with Almond wholes. It was savory and sweet, a good combination.
• The Lychee ice cream had Lychee bits in it. Awesome!
• The Cookies&Cream was so so.
• The Tiramisu was little too small to warrant that $8. It was stronger on the rum taste said darling Joey.

Overall Advantages:

• Good desserts
• Great atmosphere

Overall Disadvantages:

• They have a limited menu.

• All prices are nett.
