Potato Depot

Since it's Friday, we decided to take a longer walk to Raffles City for a good lunch and some shopping. The basement was crowded with everybody milling about during lunch hour and we zoomed in for Potato Depot since we had already made our decision while walking over. At first glance, it seemed pricey. A potato for $7.90 sounds a bit too steep for me! But the waitress came over and told us that the price includes a soup, salad and drink. Now, that's really worth it for a lunch set! So we settled down quickly and walked over to the cashier to place our order for 2 P.D. Original.

Our sets were served quickly and it was indeed a nice hearty meal. The bowls of salad and soup were perfect for a lunch serving, filling me up sufficiently. The tomato soup was thick and delicious, very fragrant and not the usual watery broth you get in some set lunches. The baked potato was huge, roughly the size of my palm and it was covered generously with sour cream and bacon bits. When I scooped into the potato, it was soft and broke away easily from the potato skin. Not overcooked like some of the others I had tasted before. It was very yummy and we washed the meal down with a cup of iced lemon tea each. 

It's definitely a good lunch and I would recommend it to all who work around the area like me. To get to Potato Depot, take the escalator beside Starbucks to the basement of Raffles City and walk straight past The CD Shop and a whole row of restaurants on both sides. Potato Depot is close to the end of the walkway, in front of The Soup Spoon.
