Roosevelt's @ New Bridge Road

Sunday's lunch @ Roosevelt's because Neko no Niwa was full on reservations (boo :() and this was the nearest alternative!:





I am in love with such hanging lights:













Hot Chocolate (S$6.50) - I was just complaining the other day how hard it is to find really nice hot chocolates and then I found this! With Valrhona dark chocolate which suits my taste perrrrrfectly:



Chocolate Banana Buttermilk Waffles (S$12) - thick and (really) fluffy waffles with caramelised bananas drizzled with chocolate sauce. One of the better waffles I've had and overall it isn't too sweet. The chocolate sauce looks a little disturbing though haha:





Pork Belly Cubano (S$14) - sandwiched with molasses-marinated pork belly (yummy yummy!), smoked ham, lettuce, tomato, hot sauce and mayonnaise; served with fries on the side. The hot sauce is creamy, tangy, mildly spicy and it goes really well with the slightly sweetened pork belly.
On a side note, I hate how some menus don't state things that are obviously/visibly there in the dish, e.g. this case it was the mayo. I would have opted for no-mayo if I'd known because I really hate it so when the sandwich came, I had to sacrifice a piece of bread + lettuce because they were coated with mayo :(





Vanilla Granola with Yogurt (S$11) - made up of toasted granola, sunflower seeds, yogurt and honey. This is really nice except that the yogurt is a little runny/watery:






7th April 2014: Had a pleasant surprise when I received this email from Roosevelt's Marketing Director, Amanda Low, who told me my feedback has been taken into consideration. Thank you!! I'd definitely be back :)

NONG Pop-Up Store is a mixed retail + F&B + workshop event that aims to promote sustainable living and growing your own food. The event is a collaboration between NONG by Edible Gardens and Naiise.

They will be retailing an exciting mix of sustainably-produced, up-cycled and locally designed products, including:

- Lazerwood: sustainable real wood skins for Apple gadgets

- Boskke: hanging planters for urban homes
- Ethnicraft: sustainably sourced and produced teak furniture
- Armadillo: recycled wallpaper notebook
- Art from junk: upcycled vintage furniture

They will also be retailing home gardening kits like fertiliser, soil and planters, and other NONG merchandise like tote bags:









NONG Pop-Up Store is a unique opportunity for people to learn new ways for sustainable living and discover cool products that have been sustainably and meaningfully designed.

And food lovers, do listen up! On 28th February there will also be a Farmers Market there where local restaurants like The Cajun King and Morsels will be using the first harvests to make food. So do remember to bookmark your calendars if you wish to check them out!
