Bukit Timah is keeping a lovely, quaint secret in the form of Cluny Court. And within Cluny Court is a secret garden cafe called Prairie by Craftsmen. Hidden at the side of both Cluny Court and French Embassy, the walk along the wooden pathway framed by the willow trees to the cafe is such an experience in itself. And the pathway leads to a courtyard filled with lots of potted plants, stylish courtyard tables and black n white rattan chairs. This is like the perfect getaway from the bustle and hustle of city life.
The menu features a great variety of proteins, ensuring that one can definitely find something that catches your fancy. To make it even better, the chef adds a good dose of novelty into the food and drinks, for that uniqueness I embrace, thus making the trip here worthwhile for both the ambience and the food. The service here is friendly and helpful. One of the best places for gathering.
WOK-HEY SEAFOOD CONCHIGLIE of pan-seared scallops, prawns, live venus clams, capers and prawn bisque broth is so rich in flavours and light on palates that I finish this whole big bowl of goodies in a flash. And I still crave for more despite the generous portions of seafood and seashell pasta added. The seafood is so fresh and briny sweet. The prawns have this wok hey char aroma that makes it even better.
White Chocolate Mousse Passionfruit Cake comes in a super cute sleeping panda bear. The white chocolate mousse is light while showcasing a very distinctive cocoa aroma and hint of bitterness, which is somewhat unique, and I like it. The passionfruit jelly ganache hidden within has the right amount of tangy taste to add hints of excitement to the smooth creamy mousse.
Light, creamy, earthy, I absolutely love the unique Taro Latte here. This is worth a special visit here.
CRAB BISQUE, despite its looks, hits all the sweet spots for me. It is so full of the creamy briny sweetness due to the generous portion of blue swimmer crab, cream and prawn bisque broth. I also love the starchy, slightly bouncy gnocchi, which I do have craving for.
Christmas Special Drink of Real Orange Juice, Mint and Soda is so refreshing and good.
Crispy Cauliflower is really crispy and tasty, making for a great snack.
