We could tell that much effort was put into the design of this pretty place. It was a fusion of vintage and modernity. We had the privilege of speaking to the owner of the gastrobar and we found out that their furniture are carefully sought !
This wooden beam in this picture, was actually part of a railway track in Vietnam. Pretty cool isn't it!
See the vintage camera and sewing machine?
Kopparberg pear cider
Alcohol content : 4.5%
This cider had a strong pear taste and a light aftertaste of alcohol.
Happy hour : $8
Glass of white wine : $10
This tasted especially light but was pretty strong.
X felt that the portion given was a tad too little, as compared to other restaurants.
Outpost Olio - $20
Pan seared tiger prawns with thin noodles, pan fried in red chilli, lemon grass, garlic and lime juice.
The pasta was unfortunately, bland. There was a slight taste of herbs but the pasta on the whole was pretty tasteless. Also, the portion was a bit too small.
Picatta of Pork - $18
Pan grilled tender pork loin with parmesan cheese batter, served with pomodoro sauce and butter spaghetti.
There were 3 pieces of pork loin and I felt that was pretty generous. I'd expected the pork to be slightly crispy but it was a little soggy. The cheese and pomodoro sauce went well together but there was not enough to go around for the 3 pieces of meat. On top of that the butter spaghetti was tasteless too. This dish would have been better if there was enough sauce for the pork loin and spaghetti
Grilled squid - $12
Grilled squid drizzled with tangy coriander and lime sauce.
This was really good! It was sour and spicy and the flavour, even though strong, was not overwhelming but was excellent! It might be too spicy for some though!
Meatballs - $10
Home made beef/chicken meat balls infused with yellow raisins soaked in marsala wine, drizzled with marsala wine reduction.
This was a new definition of meatballs for me. Meatballs are always a little hard on the outside and they crumble when you bite into them. This was extremely different from the normal meatballs you get out there. It was very soft and remarkably tasty. We really loved it! MUST TRY
Kopparberg Elderflower and lime
This was unique and refreshing! If you're looking for something not too fruity but refreshing, here's a recommendation for you!
Souffle - $10
The souffle took quite awhile to arrive so do order beforehand if you don't want to wait too long for it! The warm souffle was moist and not bad but we thought it would have been better if it was served with a small scoop of vanilla icecream.
Service at Outpost 903 is really good. The staff are very attentive and efficient. Alfred, the boss, also took effort to ask us how the food was and to explain to us the decor of the place. They are also in collaboration with certain brands in the fashion industry to bring you exclusive events. Really quite a cool place! They also have an all-day breakfast selection. Do check them out and let us know what you think!

K's rating of Outpost 903 : 7.5/10
I have to comment on the service of this restaurant. I went in on a evening, wanted to watch a live match. There were 3 of us and there were 2 tables, one for 3 pax, directly beside the screen and a table for 6 pax. I was told to take the table for 3 pax. I asked for the 6 pax table as I could not basically see the match at that table. The staff told me that the table is for larger group. What the hell is his response? He told me to look for seats outside the restaurant then. I walked away from this restaurant and vow not to go back again. Damned lousy service.

I've been to Outpost a few times and it is the customer service that I think is a plus point.
ReplyDeleteThe staff are friendly and remember you on your second visit.
I go there to watch my football matches and would be happier if they played the late night matches as well.
And now they've got a spanking new menu, yet to try out most of the dishes.
