Greyhound Cafe - Thai-Western Fusion Cuisine in Paragon

 Greyhound Cafe - Restaurant Front

Greyhound Cafe is located behind the concierge counter on level 1 of Paragon Shopping Centre.

Greyhound Cafe

The black panels around the parameter of the cafe and the black brass partition in the middle gives it a sophisticated look. I thought Greyhound Cafe probably originated from London or Paris, but it is actually from Bangkok.

If you take a closer look at the menu, it is not difficult to see that most of the dishes have varying degrees of Thai influence. 

Greyhound Cafe - Sandwich in a Bowl

If you are feeling hungry and want an appetizer that is filling, try Sandwich in a Bowl [S$12]. I was genuinely surprised at the huge bowl that was served to me. It was bigger than my face! 

Everything that you will expect to find in a sandwich - toasted bread, crisp lettuce, champignon mushroom, tuna and caesar dressing - are all cut up and served in a bowl.

The salad is already mixed with caesar dressing so you can just dig in. The toasted bread bites are slightly crunchy, bringing new texture to the classic caesar salad.

Greyhound Cafe - Greyhound Famous Fried Chicken Wings

If you are not fond of salads, try Greyhound Famous Fried Chicken Wings [S$12]. The wings are a little more salty than usual as they have been marinated in fish sauce. Only mid-wings are used which makes it easier to eat. One plate has around 12 pieces which equates to S$1 per piece. That’s pretty expensive for chicken wings, but I’m sure you won’t mind the cost once you try them. 

Greyhound Cafe - Spaghetti Carbonara in Light Cream Sauce

I was really craving for a plate of creamy delicious pasta so I ordered Spaghetti Carbonara in Light Cream Sauce [S$21]. The title did say “light cream sauce” but I find the sauce simply too watery. The bits of bacon and mushroom adds flavor to the pasta. 

Greyhound Cafe - Tenderloin Steak with Green Curry Sauce and Rice

I thought Tenderloin Steak with Green Curry Sauce and Rice [S$35] will be the perfect fusion of Western (tenderloin steak) and Thai (green curry sauce) but I was sorely disappointed. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium-rare as I have requested but the green curry sauce is again too watery. The green curry sauce did nothing to enhance the steak.

Greyhound Cafe - Mango with Sticky Rice
Since Greyhound Cafe originated from Bangkok, I decide to pay tribute to its hometown by ordering one of the most famous dessert in Bangkok, Mango with Sticky Rice [S$9]. The sticky rice is served with freshly-squeezed coconut cream and sweet Thai mango. I can have this forever and never get sick of it.

Greyhound Cafe - Happy Toast 1

Greyhound Cafe - Happy Toast 2

For something unconventional, try Happy Toast [S$6]. The piece of thick toast is heavily buttered and cut into squares for easy eating. The buttered toast is fried till crispy, served with 5 sauces - Thai Tea Custard, Coffee Caramel, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Marmalade and Sea Salt Caramel. It’s interesting trying out the different sauces, my favorite are Sea Salt Caramel and Thai Tea Custard. 

Greyhound Cafe is the prefect place for dating. The grand-looking decor will surely impress your date and the slightly pricey prices will show your sincerity. Food takes a while to come, giving you more time to talk.

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...
