The Cellar Door



Because of the many international schools in the area, Bukit Timah is the place of choice for expats. I am very happy not to be living in such a place but I sometimes appreciate the choice of non-Asian restaurants for a change. The Cellar Door is divided into two distinctive places. On one side you have a deli that sells mainly New zealand products like the famous Kapiti Cheeses, fresh baked breads, wines condiments and an ice-cream parlour. The other building houses a charming restaurant. It is not Haute Cuisine as such but some nice dishes and interesting combinations compose the menu. Tonight we had some crab cakes as well as some tasty scallops as a starter. For the main I settled for a very interesting lamb burger which was a first for me. And I could not resist the Vanilla Bean and Ginger ice-cream. They also have a wide choice of interesting Kiwi and Aussie wines which I am sure wine lovers can appreciate. Expect to pay expat prices for all this though.
