Nice latte art and decent coffee
Pictured here are Carbonara, Truffle Fries and Bacon & Potato Omelette. The portion fed 3 adults as the carbonara sauce was on the thicker side. The bill came up to $56.80 but there was no service charge/ GST. There was no charge on plain water and I do recommend making reservation for this place!
Beef steak (180g), teriyaki onions, king oyster mushrooms, egg yolk, nori, Japanese rice
I didn’t try this but my dad enjoyed it, and it smelt p good. The beef, onions, and mushrooms were flavourful, with the yolk adding more richness.
Eggplant, tofu, king oyster mushrooms, crispy enoki, nori, togarashi, japanese rice
I only had a nibble of this but flavours were quite nice, ingredients were tasty. There’s soft, there’s crisp, I liked the different textures. However this small bowl is rather overpriced. I get it, cafe prices are typically like that. But at other cafes/restaurants the portions are better.
Chicken & gruyere veloute, oyster mushrooms, herbed potatoes, spinach, capers, puff-lets
I found it very average, it wasn’t bad but I found the dish quite disjointed - just felt like different ingredients that happen to be in the same bowl of veloute. Chicken was soft, mushrooms tasty. Spinach was average and I’m not a fan of veloute I guess, it’s too thin to be gravy and also isn’t soup/broth. Pufflets were airy and not crisp. I saw a nearby table being cleared and all 3 pufflets were left uneaten. Overall would not reco.
Cheddar & chive scramble, aioli, back bacon, caramelised onions, focaccia, tater tots
Not bad, eggs were at a nice done-ness, soft and not overcooked, and I liked the sweet caramelised onions. Focaccia was soft, tater tots were crisp.
However at other places I could get similar sandwiches that are tastier with a lower price point.
I quite liked Columbus before their menu revamp, but now the new menu options aren’t as attractive and most are rather overpriced, in my opinion. A pity! Lunar is already gone so the only place with the kinda ‘original’ menu is Atlas. Please don’t change the menu at Atlas, this is a sincere plea 🥲
