Easily accessible from the Tanjong Pagar MRT station, it is not tough to find a cafe in a mall nowadays.
The Quarters is actually located just beside Icon Village, at a building called Altez (via the extension from Icon Village).
You can find the Two Men Bagel House and Sumire Yakitori in the same building as well.
The Quarters uses a simple layout that every cafe has been accustomed to, a cashier/counter table, as well as the main dining area.
Keeping everything at its minimal.
Serving you the Papa Palheta caffeine fix!
A mini variety of cakes on display.
Choose one to accompany your cuppa maybe?
Lunch sets are available too, which include an appetiser and main dish plus beverage!
Menu!
Love the tagline of, "Asian Flavours, Local Perspective".
I've always liked the idea of fusion, it's something where you can see how the chef creates an innovative dish of art right before your very eyes.
Although this could also mean that there are many risks in doing so, as some would prefer the typical kind of food.
All prices at nett price.
So how did The Quarters fair? (In my own opinion)
Let's find out!
Iced Mocha ($6)
Hot Mocha (ala carte - $5.30)
I took the lunch set, Ooh la la ($14.80) and topped up an additional of $2 for my cuppa.
The mocha portion was just right and it tasted decent.
Fries with Salted Egg Dip ($7.60), the highlight of the meal!
The salted egg aioli was stupendously addictive!
Mister and I just couldn't stop snatching the little sauce plate from one another.
Suggestion : UPGRADE THE SAUCE PORTION!
Or sell it.
I think I could use a rice bowl as a sauce plate to dip any food in sight. HAHA!
Just kidding.
Ooh La La (ala carte - $16).
Simply clams and linguine.
It was a tad too dry and really bland for a pasta dish.
Even though, I know I should expect lesser from a lunch set combo, but I really regretted ordering this.
So I ended up only finishing one quarter of the pasta.
Chic Chick.
Nothing much to shout about, just normal karaage style chicken.
Although the dash of belachan was quite shiok.
Mister ordered his favourite waffles for lunch again.
Wonderffle ($9.50), with two scoops of pandan ice cream and waffle drizzled in Gula Melaka sauce.
Hatter Street 's version won hands down as compared to this in my opinion.
But the waitress was kind enough to change the original order of one scoop of lemongrass ice cream to pandan.
Do drop me a comment if any of you tried the waffle with Lemongrass ice cream, cause' we don't fancy that.
This looks like a complete meal that I am having.
LOL
I am a glutton but not like that!
In conclusion, I guess the salted egg dip won stellar ratings from me and the rest faired average.
I was too full to consume anything else but I would definitely make a trip back to try the signature Duriancanboleh (Durian Creme Bulee)!
