Had another birthday celebration for Leo because Xiu Xuan couldn't make it for the previous one. The woe of having common friends. You'll have to attend more than one birthday celebration for the same person with different cliques of friends. So I've researched a few restaurants and Xiu Xuan chose this, Charlie Brown Cafe. I wonder whose birthday are we celebrating. lols.
If you haven't notice it, it is located at 313@somerset. Just use the exit beside Marche and you'll be able to see the cafe. Unfortunately, the cafe has no air-con since it is located outdoor but still not too bad as there are fans on the ceiling.
One thing good about this cafe, NO SERVICE CHARGE!
Nice cartoon on the wall but thanks to my shaky hands, the picture is so blur.
Cute snoopy at the entrance
Cartoon characters on the ceiling at well.
Also, different cartoon characters on each and every tables.
Fish & Chips - $13.80
Crispy fried fish fillet, served with tartar sauce, fries and fresh greens.
Crispy Fish Sandwich - $14.80
Golden fried with cream cheese, tartar sauce, tomatoes and crisp lettuce between foccacia, served with fries.
The bread was not bad, crispy and soft at the same time. However, the fish was disappointing. It wasn't as crispy as its name implies. The fish fillet is like those frozen fillets that you buy from supermarket. I prefer the fish&chip to this.
Hawaiian Pizza - $12.80
Juicy turkey ham and chunky pineapple on a tomato base, topped with mozzarella.
The pizza taste okay only, not as tasty as Pizzahut's one in my opinion. Most importantly, there was too little pineapple chunks!
While eating, suddenly there was water splashing over to our table from no where. Not till the extent of making us wet but like droplets of rain. We were like wtf. I looked around searching for the source of the water and realized the water came from the building beside us which was having construction work.
Leo immediately asked the waiter over and demanded for the pizza to be changed to a new one. Fyi, we only ate one slice of the pizza and can't possibly eat the rest as we don't know how dirty the water was. Luckily the waiter agreed to do so and said that it was the first time such thing happened. See how lucky we were~.
Snoopy's Chocolate - $9.80
Chocolates flakes wrapped in crepe served with a scoop of ice-cream.
After changing our seats, Xiu Xuan and I insisted to order a dessert to share. Look at the snoopy face on the crepe, so cute!! This was probably my favourite dish among all not because the it tasted exceptionally good, just that the rest were kind of disappointing. lols. At least I like the ice-cream, there was alot of cookies in it!
Xiu Xuan and I
With the birthday boy
Overall i think the cafe is just average. Nothing impressive unless you are a fan of theme cafe or you are looking for some affordable cafes at Orchard.

It was a little bit spoil mood for Xiu Xuan and I because there we were so happily celebrating his birthday for him, he kept emo about his work.We ended up chilling at the park near his house for a drink as he wanted to drink and drown his sorrows. But I was more moody because I've got eight mosquito bites on my legs! Damn it.
The 22 year old whisky
Ok, one thing good about drinking at Leo's house downstairs rather than some pubs as its free of charge! lols. The bottle was already a 12 years old one when Leo bought it in 2003 and kept it for another 10 years. So I supposed that makes it a 22 year old. Tried a small sip without mixer and it was fierce. One sip down and I could feel my throat burning. That's totally a different burning sensation from what I've tried in the past. Even Leo can't take it. So this is really some good stuff!
But of course we didn't finish it because Xiu Xuan didn't want to drink much and it would be too wasteful as we are just blind drinkers. Meaning got alcohol just drink, how many years old don't matter to us. LOLS! I believe alot of people are in the same category as us lor! Shall leave it to those who can truly appreciate it. Anyway, alcohol plus the pizza we took away from Charlie Brown Cafe, makes it an awesome supper!
