Vineyard@Hort Park Singapore

Part 1

Vineyard at Hort Park is located in a park in 33 Hyderabad Road #02-02 Hort Park, Singapore. Tried there with my two kids after a long hike today (17 October 2012). The restaurant was not too crowded but had some customers there from work and a group of Japanese mummies.

The setting inside is dark wood so if you are lunching in the restaurant, you will feel like the whole place is dim. If the weather is not too humid, and you enjoy the outdoors, there is a verandah which you can lunch in. I opted for Ginger Ale and Lime juice each costing SGD $6 sitting inside only because it was going to pour and we had spent two hours in the hot sun hiking earlier.

Here's what I ordered with the kids:        
Kids Fish and Chips
French Onion Soup
Classic Caesar Salad



The Kids' Fish and Chips were delicious. Its batter for the fish were done not too oily and thick. It was not as light as if you were eating tempura version either. The chips were probably from the frozen kind so nothing special about that. The portion was suitable for a five-year  to a ten-year-old boy. Tartar sauce was the accompaniment.

 

 



The French Onion soup was a light broth with lots of onions and did not taste too salty like in some other establishments. There is no layer of mozarella or cheddar on top of the soup nor a baked crust. Instead Comte cheese sits on two slices of oven toasted bread and served with the soup on a wooden board. A nice touch.

 



Caesar salad had the fresh romaine lettuce with segments of double boiled eggs, tomatoes, croutons and fried bits of bacon drenched in ranch dressing. Wish they hold back the dressing a little bit because it tend to be soggy from too much dressing at the bottom of the bowl.

It was a pleasant lunch experience which cost me abt $GD $70 inclusive of tax and service charge of 10%. Expensive for lunch with two kids if you know what I mean. Thank god the kids did justice to the fish and chips. :)

Stay tune for a dinner round....
