Strategically located at the busiest crossroad of Orchard Road, Crossroads is the ultimate place to wine and dine, and to see and be seen. The perfect all-in-one dining destination that brings the East-meets-West concept to life, diners may indulge in endless moments of joy over an enticing selection of signature dishes, premium wines and draft beers on tap, set amidst an exuberant ambience. Look forward to sumptuous signatures such as Wagyu Burger, or the all-time local favourite – Seafood Char Hor Fun. Be it a sumptuous breakfast buffet, satisfying express set lunch or happy hour, the indulgences are aplenty. The restaurant is consistently listed as one of the top restaurants in Singapore.
Since it was still during Circuit Breaker and dine-in was unavailable, so I placed order online and self-collected. The food was packed nicely in plastic boxes. Croutons and bread for the mushroom soup were packed separately.
The mushroom soup ($15) contains porcini, morel and truffle. The fragrance of the truffle oil wafted through the air when I opened up the soup. The sesame bread as accompaniment for the soup was delicious and still warm. It was a generous portion of soup that is enough for two.
For me, I had the 100% Wagyu beef burger ($36). It came with a double patty of Wagyu beef, slice of melted raclette cheese, tomatoes, dill pickle, rocket leaves, red onions and chipotle mayonnaise. Even though I had ordered medium for the beef, it tasted more like medium well texture. The meat was juicy and the burger was really filling for me. The fries that came with the side were soggy by the time I ate, so I threw away most of the fries. Anyway with the burger buns and the bread for the soup, it was more than enough carbs for me.
The Char Hor Fun with sliced beef ($26) was another of the signature dishes. There is a seafood version priced at #28. The chef prepared it by separating the sauce with beef and the hor fun separately. While this dish is similar to the hor fun that you can find at tze char stalls, what makes it stand out is the tender beef. The beef servings were generous and tender, so it was heavenly with every bite. The kway teow given was too much, so in the end we did not finish it. The consistency of the sauce was just nice, not too thick and not too watery.
Overall, based on the takeout dishes, it was decent and we hope to be able to dine in at Crossroads cafe while having a pint of beer to enjoy their happy hour promotion. The average prices of the main dishes is $21 and above which is considered pricey, but rest assured that the quality of the food is great. You can also enjoy people watching as you enjoy your meal at the cafe located just outside Tang Plaza.
