Sofra Turkish Cafe & Restaurant

Sofra Turkish Restaurant @

100 Beach Road #02-42/43/44Shaw TowerShaw Leisure Gallery Singapore 189702

The ambience of this restaurant is rather good, especially when you got a window table.

We tried their platter starter that consists of sofra salad, eggplant salad, hummus and vine leaves roll: their hummus is nice...

The main dishes we ordered are as follows:

SOFRA fish; Baked Cream dory in foil, served with bread. The sauce is sour in a very good and refreshing way. The sauce is mainly tomato based. The bread goes very well with the sauce.

Sofra Kebap (Lamb and Beef); The sauce is tomato based and it goes very well with the kebap. The kebap may be a little dry and hard, but the taste is still not bad.

Oh ya, for the drinks, we suggest that ice water is good enough. =)

So far we only visited 2 Turkish restaurant, Sofra and Cappadoccia. Food from both restaurants are nice. But if you want nicer Starter Platter, you may want to go to Cappadoccia. =) We fell in love with the Cacik (cucumber with yogurt)

For people who have not try Turkish food before, these 2 restaurants should be good and decent enough to get started.

Shimbashi Soba @ Paragon

Shimbashi Soba @

the Basement of Paragon

This place serves chilled and hot(soupy) handmade soba. Well, i started to really love Soba after visiting this place. If all along you thought places like Sakae Sushi serves good soba, then you should really go to Shimbashi Soba for a try. I have visited there for 3 to 4 times, taken only a few pictures. Please take a look... =)

Salmon Cappaccio (Appetizer):

Tofu Steak:

Well, the sauce tastes like 'ba jiu' (hokkien), a type of canned food. But the Tofu is very tasty, a little oily though.

Nebaneba soba:
This chilled soba consists of lady finger, a raw egg, some seaweeds, some beans (fermented beans) and so on. For people who dislike sticky slimey food, please don't try. However, it will taste very nice and healthy for those who are ok with food with such texture. =)

Chilled Soba with Vegetable Tempura:

This is very nice..tempura is light, not oily and are very fresh. The chilled soba is heavenly! It springs!!hahah

Kamo Soba:

This is a sliced duck soba with very tasty soup. Well, i think this is under 'special' item, so its not available everytime if i am not wrong. Can check it out yourself ah...

Thats all for now.. =)

Dear all, this is one of the most 'homely' restaurant I have ever been to. The manager and waitress are the best. Whatever you ask for, they will give. Of course it should be something possible. There was once we were there around 10pm having supper.

We ordered tea and we asked for lemon slices, like how the other table (can see that they are regulars) did. They gave us at no extra cost! This restaurant is fabulous. They sell both western and chinese food.

Oh ya, they provide free soup of the day, can be either chinese-styled or western-style or both, all you want to drink ah! Yes they are free-flowing..hahaha...

Latest updates: We ordered the Waffle set (Mighty Waffle) shown below yesterday. As we can't take eggs recently, so we request to change the eggs to salad, basically a few pieces of vegetables. To our very surprise, they gave us 2 individual small plate of salads as good as those 'garden salad' in some restaurant. Wah, we are so touched man..hahah..really good!!!

Editor #1 loves the waffle set especially. =)

Lets take a look at the photos.

Oh ya, get to mention the prices. They are rather reasonable. You can take a preview of some parts of the menu:

Thats all for the photos. Oh ya, the manager noticed that we frequent the restaurant. So he gave us each a membership card! haha..at no extra cost, purely on a friendly account. Isn't it cool..Its a 15% off per visit. Cool cool cool....

We usually visit this Dennis Restaurant for dinner and supper. The place is really quiet and you really can immerse there with your own business. Or you can watch the MTV with live singing by the manager. Nobody is going to give you any wierd look.

Visited very frequently..

It includes a desert (Brownie with a scoup of ice-cream/Apple Crumble with a scoup of ice-cream) on top of what the set lunch serves. Cool Deal!!

Lets take a look at the pictures:

Cooler: Lemon tea, light and refreshing

Soup of the day: Carrot Soup
