Zoey’s Diner Review: New Minimalist Cafe With Short Rib Burgers And More At Sengkang
Zoey’s Diner at Compass One Residents of Sengkang will tell you that there’s nothing exciting to eat in their bustling neighbourhood .
Having spent two decades at this well-populated end of Singapore, I couldn’t agree more. Opened earlier last month, this fast-dining concept stands out from the other chain stores in Sengkang with its creative burgers. Interesting salads that are served inside a beautifully decorated restaurant .
Food at Zoey’s Diner The two-month-old eatery serves up a wide range of exciting burgers, which they affectionately refer to as Baobae . We tried out a few of their best-selling items, and Pepper Braised Steak ($10.90) was the first.
The end result tastes something like McDonald’s Prosperity burger, but with thick and gelatinous layers of beef fats that ooze out loads of lush beefy taste. The fluffy brioche buns mop everything up well and give a nice bit of fluffiness that makes the burger exciting to chow on.
Zoey’s Chicken Burger ($7.90) features a whole piece of grilled chicken thigh that’s marinated in a secret blend of spices. It’s then slathered with a generous serving of tangy garlic aioli to make for a tasty burger.
The chicken thigh wasn’t the largest but was one of the juiciest we have had in a long while. That said, the portion sizes came up short and I can’t help but feel that it was a little overpriced.
Salads made up the other half of their menu and we got the best-selling Avocado, Nuts & Berries With Salmon Salad ($8.90) . I enjoyed the well-balanced vinaigrette and crunchy rocket leaves in this salad.
Even so, I think that this salad would be better if there’s an added touch of creativity and innovation to differentiate it from the regular salads out there. The Zoey’s Truffle Fries ($7.90) was also executed well and came with an addictive truffle mushroom dip.
The fries could have been thicker, but overall, this was a delicious serving of fries that wasn’t drowning in truffle oil or grease. Set meals are available at an additional $2 , and they come with a drink and a small portion of fries or salad. Ambience at Zoey’s Diner What sets Zoey’s Diner apart from all the other stores at Compass One is its lovely ambience.
The verdict Zoey’s Diner is a refreshing addition to the stodgy food scene in Sengkang. While I found the food to be tasty, and ambience to be one of the best in Sengkang.
Hopefully, the store will tinker with their quotations or come up with greater variations of combo meals to give a win-win proposition for everyone. It’s a pity to see this exciting concept lose out due to its high rates.
