Review: Little Diner

The sign outside Little Dinner says Food Drink Hang - exactly the three things we were looking for on a mid-week public holiday.

I was inclined to like this place on the interior alone - Lower-East-Side-inspired, small cool space, textured concrete walls and a back wall dominated by a wine cellar - and I hadn't even seen the menu.  The punches kept rolling as we sat down and were promptly bought iced water served in funky jars with handles (I want some!), Toby's Estate coffee and menus.  Attentive service made up for a somewhat haphazard food arrival, and they were happy to accommodate Laura's inability to order anything off the menu just as it is, which we find a constant challenge in cafes around Singapore.

The food is very affordable, especially compared to the new Dean and Deluca (review here) in Orchard Central.  I paid $15.50 for my salmon eggs benedict.  I'll definitely go back to sample the dinner menu, and it's great to see an affordable selection of wine by the bottle (especially when they're from New Zealand!).  They also have weekend brunch specials where for $20 you can enjoy free flow cider from 12 - 2pm.

There was a constant flow of people in and out, so it might pay to book as this place becomes more popular, which I'm confident it will.
