Platform 1094 - One and Only Harry Potter Theme Cafe in Singapore

It has been 5 years since the final Harry Potter movie has been aired in the cinemas and I am still suffering from what I call the "Harry Potter Syndrome". I still flip through the books when the mood strikes me, rereading the most delicious bits. 

 
When I learned that a Harry Potter theme cafe has opened in Singapore, I knew I had to come and take a look, so here I am.

The interior is decorated with wood-panelled walls, ceiling candelabra, wooden tables and chairs adorned with deer designs. The decorations are a little sparse, but this is a relatively new restaurant so I am hoping that more can be done to the interior to give the place a more Hogwarts feel. I was thinking of sprawling long wooden tables, ceiling decorated with floating candles, fairy lights ...

There is a cupboard filled with props such as magic wands, wizard hats and ties to let you dress up as a wizard or wizard for photo-taking.

This is the famous Goblet of Fire which has been renamed Mr Lich's Flaming Brew. The whole set-up of the drink is done before my eyes, where a spoonful of torched Bacardi is lowered into a cup filled with Blue Curaçao liquor and lime juice. "Flames" erupt when the cinnamon powder is sprinkled on the drink. Let the cup cool down for a good 10-15 minutes before you take a sip with a straw. Theatrical effects aside, it is a pleasant alcoholic drink where the lime juice gives a little sourness and Blue Curaçao gives a hint of bitterness.

Carrot & Beetroot Soup is served in a small black cauldron-shaped bowl accompanied by a piece of homemade bread and a small plate of sour cream. Beetroot and carrots give the soup its colourwhile red wine vinegar, cashew nuts and assorted vegetables make this soup not only Instagram-worthybut healthy to boot too.

The classic aglio olio is infused with a local twist in Crab Meat Aglio Olio. Spaghetti is cooked in buerne monte sauce that gives the dish a touch of creaminess, served with spicy crab meat and flying fish roe wrapped in smoked salmon.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
