Roosevelt's
Diner and Bar ('Roosevelt's') is a dining destination located behind
the Dorsett Residence at H exit of Outram MRT. When you turn to face
the diner, you will notice their eye catching logo of teddy bear
smoking a cigar. This remind me of the movie TED, that featured the
naughty R rated teddy bear.
Back to
the food, Roosevelt's just revamped their brunch menu and we are here
to give it a try. Currently brunch menu is available up to 6PM daily.

We
started with something light and healthy. Shiitake Sesame Salmon
($18). This salad bowl featured a healthy ingredients and super food.
The plating is so attractive, made it difficult not to try it. The
salmon was sous-vide, allowing it to retain the juice with moist and
flaky texture. The tofu, mushroom, edamame and pomegranate contribute
variety texture and flavour to the dish. While the sesame dressing
bind all the ingredients and flavour together.

Mozzarella
Steak Sandwich ($16). Wholemeal artisanal bread, mozzarella, mustard
and sliced chuck steak. A simple comfort food, but definitely good
for any occasion. The steak is nicely done, juicy and tender, well
complemented by the cheese and crisp bread. The secret ingredient
here is the mustard, that give the sandwich the twang, so you won't
feel overwhelmed.

For those
who like Big Breakfast ($28) the version here will filled you to the
brim. Scrambled eggs, cherry tomato, shiitake mushrooms, chipolata
sausage, bacon and spiced potatoes. Your protein and carbo served in
one. The twist here is Roosevelt's use of croissant instead of white
or wholemeal bread, which was fluffy and buttery.

Two new
items in their Brunch Signatures: Beef Cheek on Potato Pancake ($22).
A perfectly slow cooked beef cheek that melts in your mouth. The
potato pancake feels like the stacked hash browns crispy yet soft.
One thing about this dish is that you need to have all the
ingredients in each bite, especially with the tangy buttermilk. Yum

Truffle
Potato Foam with Croissant ($21). A very light and fluffy egg to go
with the croissant. When you scoop into the mini cast iron bowl, it
is pretty much a beautiful mess. Difficult to separate the
ingredients so you just allow your sensory taste to enjoy this dish.
Soft, velvety, creamy, rich of flavours and buttery. Definitely a
dish that you want to have for your breakfast.

For
something sweet, you can consider Churros Waffle ($12). Buttermilk
waffle that combine a crisp texture with slight chewy feel. The
spiced sugar is a bit mild for churros comparison, however the
chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream definitely make the waffle a
must try dessert here.

The
milkshake here come in a more dessert version. We sampled Salted
Caramel, Oreo Cheesecake and Strawberry Cheesecake ($12 each), it
really feels like you are drinking a ice cream X Cake put inside a
blender.

From the
dinner menu, we sampled Pan Seared Hokkaido Scallops ($21). Perfectly
cooked scallops. Browned and crisp on one side, while plump and
velvety on the other side. To pair scallops with a strong flavour of
yuzu mustard ricotta is pretty bold move, however works out well
here.

Coffee
here is from Liberty. So coffee lovers can rejoice.

The
atmosphere of Roosevelt's is modern industrial chic. Lots of natural
light due to its glass window concept. One part of the restaurant
wall is covered with retro wall paper, the other with neon lights,
and behind the counter was the Roosevelt's logo with light bulbs.
Certainly a hip place where you want to spend the afternoon. Not sure
why they have a scooter there though.
