White Dog Cafe

Was debating on eating either Fren(s)h or to try a new place for lunch. Ended up eating at the White Dog Cafe cos it was one of the more affordable ones.


The set lunch was $10.80 ++ (about $12 after extra charges) and it comes with soup, main course and coffee/tea. The set lunch had 18 choices of main courses to choose from.

The soup of the day was 'Chicken Consume' with a slice of garlic bread. The soup didn't live up to it's fancy name - it tasted more like the instant noodles soup, the kind where you cook your maggie mee and drink up the msg soup.
The garlic bread was well buttered and had nice pieces of garlic on it - too bad the soup was a let down.

This is all the chicken I got in the whole bowl of soup - perhaps they were trying to tell the consumers that they had indeed used real chicken and not only used chicken cubes for the soup.

The garnishing of chopped spring onions only served to remind me futher of how my wanton mee comes with a bowl of clear soup, quite like this one, with 'chong' on top.

There was an amazing variety of mains, which included both fusion and western choices such as Creamy mushroom linguini, Tiger prawn in black pepper sauce linguini, chicken saugsage aglio olio linguii, sliced marinated beef cooked in japanese sauce linguini, fresh chicken stripes in carlic cream sauce linguini, fresh squid ring in spicy tomato sauce linguini, grilled striploin with black pepper sauce, grilled fresh chicken fillet with mushroom sauce, deep fried marinated chicken fillet with garlic mayo, deep fried marinated dory fillet with tartar sauce, pan fried tuna steak on garlic buter, pan fried sword fish with lemon sauce, glazed salmon fillet, beef noodles soup, ham and cheese omelette served with mixed green salad, wild mushroom omelette, and wild mushroom pizza.

From which, I chose the Pan Fried Tuna Steak on Garlic Butter.

It came with calrose rice and shredded cabbage with thousand island dressing, and with a generous heap of garlic butter. However, the tuna was a let down - it was very tough. Unlike what the waitress described it to be slightly pink in the middle, the steak was throughly cooked.

I guess it was a blessing in disguise cos I was supposed to be fasting for dinner buffet - just that I was so hungry after OSCES that I had to eat. The table next to us seemed to have made a better choice of the linguini - it looked quite good and they finished the whole dish. The mushroom pizza was a thin crust pizza which also seemed to be nicer than the tuna.The Ice Bomb (left, $4) is essentially a root beer float - great for A&W fans.

You can get coffee or tea, and iced tea with the set.

Desserts are add ons to the set:

$1.50 for a single scoop of ice cream

$2.50 for mango pudding or black glutinous rice with ice cream

$3.00 for White Dog Speciality Cakes

The Set Lunch is available from Mondays to Fridays, 11.30 am to 5.30pm, Sat and Sund from 11.30am to 2.30pm, excluding Public Holidays.
