Fosters - The English Rose Cafe

Roast Herbed Half Chicken ($18)
Chicken ala Kiev ($18)

Gratinated Baked Fish ($25)

All prices haven't included taxes. For more on their menu and restaurant, go to http://www.fosters-restaurant.com/alacartemenu.htm. Located at Holland Village, this charming little cafe seems to have it all. Nice ambience (it is nearing Christmas and the season's ornaments adorn the whole room), hearty food, and attentive staff. The main disappointment and the main factor that makes me feel hesitant to come again came after we were served the foods (for which we waited for about half an hour), when the staff stopped filling the water in our glass. It seemed that lingering after meal was greatly discouraged. The food was great. The Mediterranean Seafood Spaghetti that I ordered was served with generous amount of their rich homemade tomato sauce and the seafood was fresh. Chicken in chicken ala kiev was infused with herby sauce that tasted very nice, making it my next target if I ever to come to that place again. Gratinated baked fish was another winner. The roasted chicken was good, though it somehow lacked the punch. My friend who ordered it looked bored.
