Cold joke aside, from the newspaper article, the reason of the unique cafe name is because "...this cafe is a cross between a business and the social organization..." sounds cool to me...

Crossings Cafe is situated along waterloo street just a short walk from bras bersah stations. Its next to Sts. Peter & Paul Church.
The color of the exterior of the cafe makes it look atas and with just a signboard with an article saying what is this cafe all about. Like what people usually says, 'simplicity is a virtue'.
when I entered into the cafe, it just brightens up giving it a lively tone with the contrast of colors and the texture of the walls bringing up the spaciousness of the cafe...As a great deal of white colored was used, it brightens up the place contrasting it with the black board at the counter, the cream-colored tables and golden yellow paper mat laid on the their tables. All in all, it gave it the modern touch..
 |
| The tables were setup like those 'fine dining' western cafes... |
We started off with drinks and Sides & Bites...
 |
| Iced Cafe Latte |
 |
| Sweet Potato Fries The sweetness of the potato fries makes it savory... it is not that crunchy as compared to the truffle fries... but it is still pretty good. |
 |
| Truffle Fries - The thickness of the fries is good, it was served piping hot and the crunchiness wouldn't let you stop, it is so addictive... however the down side is the fries do not have enough truffle oil coated :( - If too much truffle oil smell is not your typed, you should order this fries to have something different from the norm. |
 |
| Baked Black Pepper Chicken Rice Buttered pilaf rice with sweet capsicum, zucchini, onions and mushrooms alternate with layers of ricotta, Mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan between lasagna sheets. When the baked rice was served the aroma of the dish just filled the air, makes my tummy rumbles... having the first spoonful in my mouth, the spiciness kicks in with the cheesiness makes it so smooth and it just goes so well with each other... the blending taste of the black pepper with the soft bites of rice and the lasagna... makes it a pleasure to eat it. I do not really like overdoes of cheese on my dish, especially on baked rice. Usually the bake rice are covered with a whole chunk of melted mozzarella cheese with cheddar cheese, which makes you feel sick of it... You should give this a try! Just to share: Some of you may ask what is Rice pilaf. It actually refers to rice that is cooked by the "pilaf method," in which the uncooked rice is first sautéed in butter, after which hot liquid or stock is added, and then the pot is covered and cooked in the oven until all the liquid is absorbed. |
 |
| Honey Mustard Ribs A set of pork loin ribs roasted with honey mustard sauce, served with sweet potato fries and a salad to makes a full set for one. - This dish is not my cup of tea, because the pork have this milky pork smell, I preferred those without the smell. So if you are like me, you may wanna give this a miss. - |
 |
| Chicken & Aubergine Parmigiana Baked layers of breaded boneless chicken breast, topped with grilled aubergine (egg plant), tomato concasse and mozzarella cheese. Served with normal fries and salad. This dish was done with a classic northern Italian recipe to serve aubergine. If you are a person that doesn't really like egg plants, do give this a try, as it is just two slices of the egg plants layered with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and its baked with the breaded boneless chicken... Am glad that I gave it a try, not regretting what went into my tummy =)) |
 |
| Profiterole Cream puffs drizzled with chocolate sauce and roasted almond flakes. Served with vanilla ice cream. An enticing dessert - it serves 3 in a single order ;) |
 |
| Iced Mango Souffle A frozen treat of eggs, cream and pureed mango. Served with wild berries, mango and strawberry sauces. The soft and smooth texture of the souffle just slip through my throat, with the coldness it just melts the hot weather away. I like it without the sauce, as I find the sauces are too sweet. |
 |
| Panna Cotta of the Day An Italian dessert that made by simmering together cream, milk, and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set. - For this it is made with coconut milk and topped with chocolate sauce and chips. Their service crews, are alert, steady, always calm and pleasant to their customers, they helped us with our orders, explaining some terms of the terms to us, like ... "Aubergine". Thanks guys! I would like to help them do a shout-out here: Crossings Cafe is not just any western cafe, their profit actually goes to the charity organizations and their main focus are to help those youth at risk and disadvantaged. So if you dine in their cafe you are directly contributing to the community! So for such a great deal, come and dine in and taste their much fusion-Italian cuisine as a whole. I would recommend this place for a good chilling venue, to catch up with your old friends. - The lazy Sunday feel just kicks in, when you are there, it's so relaxing - -Price Range: it is about S$20 to S$30- |
