Read on some blog (which I can't find anymore, or I'd have linked it) that this was the 'poor sister' of Mimolette (which doesn't allow photography, so I'm not going there cos I can't blog). Of course, going to the poor sister is fine with me, especially when I'm footing my own bill.
I was feeling boring and ate the Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($11.95++)Though the menu said that it'll come with olives and pine nuts, there weren't any olives. Instead, there were sliced grapes, which gave the sandwich a interesting taste. The grilled chicken wasn't spectacular, but the 2 slices of bread were generously slathered in butter and grilled to a crispy perfection. All you butter lovers there will enjoy the sandwiches at Rider's Cafe.
All sandwiches are served with thick cut fries.
Fish ate herself, in the Salmon sandwich ($14.95++) Actually, I was very envious of her sandwich cos I read online that the salmon sandwich was 'normal'. But it was full of avocados (which I really like cos they make the sandwich creamy and moist), even though the menu described it as a not very appetising 'Norweigian Smoked Salmon iwth Onions and Gherkins'.
Beer Battered Fish and chips ($14.95)Though this is probably the most heart-attack inducing meal, I think that it's quite well done and worth all the atheromatous plaques that you'll get from eating this. The fish is tender and juicy, and the batter is crispy and light. It reminds me of the Beer Battered Fish and Chips at the Takashimaya Basement, which is really very good (though I'm not too sure if it's still there since I haven't been there for very long).
The usually Full Flyfairy (who was suprisingly not very full cos she just went to the gym to blast of manymanymany calories) ate a whole beef burger (and I ate some of her fries).
The Death-By-Chocolate-Cake ($11.95++), which fish couldn't resisit ordering. It's really very chocolatey, though I think the name is more apt for the PS cafe's chocolate cake. It's really very rich indeed.The menu is quite amusing - there's a time-frame for all the dishes.
Sandwiches are served from 11am to 6pm, salads, appetizers/snacks, pasta and more are available from 11am.
After 6pm, only the main courses are available and these range from $26-$32. Some of the mains are chilean cod, ribeye, beef tenderloin, roast lamb rack etc. So people who want to save money, come before 6pm :D
The ambience of the place is really nice - it doesn't even feel like Singapore because all you see in greenery (and the occasional taxi) and horses. The place has a relaxing vibe and I think the next holidays I have I shall come here and slowly slowly eat my sandwich. Best of all, the prices are really affordable. However, Rider's Cafe is extremely extremely inaccessible if you don't have a car - it's really a large distance that you'll have to walk in from Eng Neo, and Eng Neo doesn't have bus stops. The cafe is al fresco, but you'll have a nice view overlooking the stables - not something that every restaurant has :)
