One weekend getaway with friend to the deadend for lunch….since we met up at 12:30pm, so we had an outdoor table right away. We were all determined to try out as much as we could on the menu!! Unforunately, poached eggs & B.E.L.T were sold out when we were there! It’s nice to met Grace (grace0721hk) at Cafe Deadend. We kind of know each other on Instagram & found out that actually she works weekend at Cafe deadend!!! She turned out to be food reviewer on Openrice as well. First up was the drink
It’s nice to met Grace (grace0721hk) at Cafe Deadend. We kind of know each other on Instagram & found out that actually she works weekend at Cafe deadend!!! She turned out to be food reviewer on Openrice as well.
First up was the drink: Coffee.
Dirty is actually espresso with cold milk. Interesting, right?! Usually coffee like latte is added hot milk & pull off with the latte art on top. But when the cold milk hits the hot espresso, its looks really “dirty”…literally! The uneven color of the cold milk with the espresso looks interesting! The taste of it was alright, since cold milk was added, it’s either very hot or cold.Unfortunately, since we were arranged to sit outdoor, they actually serve drink in paper cup. So, I couldn’t see much of the “dirty” effect. I saw people who sits indoor, their cup of “dirty” was served beautifully with a glass cup, which you can see the color clearly!!!
Crab Tartine is another item on the menu that have to order again!!! As I mentioned in the previous food review, it’s better to eat it with hand! It’s still fresh like the first time I have it. The only difference from last time was it served with a pizza box. Once again…’cause we were sitting outdoor.It’s an interesting way to serve up the food, but I just think it’s not really that environmentally friendly. I saw lots of people just dispose the paper cups & boxes into the bin, which isn’t for recycle! I understand that they are small business with limited utensils & manpower though.
During the lunch, we saw there was a table available inside the cafe. So, we requested to move in. Since we were now sitting the indoor table, we were expecting the food to be served with normal plate instead of paper cups & boxes.However, when the tomato soup (new item on menu) arrived our table, we were quite shocked that it was served in a tall paper cup. The bread was placed inside a paper bag with feta cheese & butter in a plastic container. So for the sake of taking a beautiful picture with it, of course we requested to transfer the tomato soup into a bowl & place it together with the bread, cheese & butter on a plate.
In term of taste…the tomato soup tasted strong in REAL tomato flavor & tomato chucks can be found in the soup. The baguette has a crunchy exterior & soft moist interior. It’s good to dip the baguette into the soup or just eat with the feta cheese & butter.
After crab tartine & soup, we were off to order some dessert.
You can find more dessert in this post than savories!!
Dessert #1:
White, red, green. What an interesting color combination!!! So as the flavors…vailla, strawberry & basil!! Never think basil could be added into a dessert dish!! The vanilla panna cotta was really creamy & light, not heavy at all! The strawberry ceviche was fresh & tangy, which balanced out the creamy panna cotta. The basil granita tasted interesting, almost unusual! I can’t say I like it, but I didn’t hate it either.Dessert #2:
It’s like a beautiful drawing!!! Love the colors, love the flavors!!!The chocolate terrine was in strong & rich chocolate flavor. The blood orange sorbet & those citrus fruits tasted tangy & sour, which balanced out the richness of the chocolate terrine. Sweetness from the caramel & nuttiness from the pistachio added some different layer of flavors to this dessert. It’s just felt like…”BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!”.
Last but not least – Dessert #3:
The famous signature apple tart!!!! When I first saw it on Instagram/ Openrice, I really though they bakes the whole apple inside the pastry, ’cause they left the apple stem on top! But the fact is they sliced the granny smith & layer it back into an apple-shaped. The pastry was flaky & buttery! The apple slices was soft & full of cinnamon flavor! I can just eat the whole apple tart without the vanilla cream.A fulfilling lunch with the girls! I heard they added some new items on the menu recently! Need to go there again!!
