Chunky cuts of french toast garnished with mixed berry compote fresh off the stove, sprinkled with some powdered sugar and mint leaves. If it wasn’t enough, it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This brunch-dessert is one of the limited items of the brunch menu at Open Door Policy. Not sure how it tasted but it was presented pretty well and my friend enjoyed every bite of it. Alas the quality of service at this restaurant was dismal and the seating was horribly cramped. My friend and I were seated at a table the size of a regular classroom desk. Yes, those desk we had to use back in secondary school but this came with a smooth copper finishing. Same goes for those retro school chairs. Imagine the delight of dining under what felt like 18ºC air-conditioning and sitting on chilly chairs… It didn’t take too long for me to start sneezing. The worst bit was that the space between my seat and the next one behind was just millimeters apart. There was simply not enough room for me to get in and out, without causing disturbance and discomfort for the diner behind me. The decor of the restaurant does remind of the many cafes in East Village and Upper East Side, which was the primary reason why I decided to check out the place. However when it came right down to the quality of the table service, you definitely know for sure you’re in Singapore. 😐
