Bishan's Cafe Cartel

I went there for dinner with a friend and I made a comparison of its Carbonara Pasta with that of the branch near to where I live. I enjoyed Bishan's version far more.

The pasta was extremely soft and moist. The cream sauce was more diluted and not so thick as a result. The bacon pieces were grilled to perfection, with their crisp-brown edges peeping out of the pasta. It was a dish that did not fill me to the point of extreme fullness, in comparison. I still had room for dessert.

I recommend Mississippi Mudpie. This dessert is equally good at both branches. It is a chocolate sponge cake served with vanilla ice-cream and whipped cream, topped with a caramel lolly. The contrast in the textures and temperatures of the cake and the ice-cream is just superb.
