Sarnies Cafe

Most people rave about Sarnies' brunch but I have too many brunch places I want to check out and too little time, so we decided to drop by Sarnies for dinner instead. Stef and I took a bus from the bus stop in front of the Supreme Court and alighted two stops later opposite Hong Lim. We reached Telok Ayer after a short 5 minutes walk. 

Sarnies was small and narrow with a couple of small tables lined up against the wall. It was not too crowded during dinner time and we picked the table opposite the counter. The people who run Sarnies were young and bubbly, all speaking an accent that I could not quite put my finger on. 

The waitress handed us some cards each and we realised they were menus. So interesting!

We wanted Belgian Mussels but a young guy came by to inform us that mussels were out of stock. He advised that we should come by on Friday for mussels because that was usually when the mussels arrived. We were unsure what to order so we asked for some recommendations. The waitress recommended the Cajun Spiced Kampong Chicken in Brown Paper Bag ($13), Pulled Pork Taco ($8.50), and Fish Taco ($8.50). We decided to go with her recommendations and were pretty glad that we did.

The Pulled Pork Taco was quite yummy with a slightly spicy and sour sauce. The only downside was that the pork was kind of tough and really chewy. On the other hand, the Fish Taco was good. Fresh dory fish with a light dill sauce. I would recommend the Fish Taco if you wanted taco for dinner. 

The Cajun Spiced Kampong Chicken in a Brown Bag was the bomb. The chicken was extremely tender and juicy, fully absorbing the sauce which it was marinated in. I would tell everybody to go for the Cajun Spiced Chicken if you are in Sarnies for dinner!

We ended the night with some white wine. It was the perfect end to a delicious dinner and a great catch up session. To make the night better, Sarnies plays one of the best soundtracks ever with a good mix of pop, R&B, and oldies. This is a good place to be if you want to kick back, relax, listen to some good music and catch up over good food and wine.
