TCC, the coffee connoisseur #1

Lunch was at TCC with Hui Yi. It’s been quite sometime since I last stepped into TCC. I always think that this is a rather cool place to chill out with friends and perhaps have some coffee and desserts. Looking at their menu, I’m surprised that they have a large selection of starters and bistro fare like the usual pasta, mains and sandwiches.


TCC Kahlua Salmon ($16.80++) has been featured in quite a number of reviews before. The fresh salmon is pan-seared and baked until tender. I like that the salmon is not overcooked and still retains its juiciness. It’s served with mashed potato and TCC’s own concoction of coffee sauce, garnished with asparagus and rose petals. The mashed potato helps to fill you up real fast but we feel that too much butter is used. Also, the asparagus is too salty. I tried eating the rose petals but they were too hard and had a weird taste. Are they even edible in the 1st place?

For desserts, we had the Warm Vanilla Bread Pudding ($7.20++). 2 slices of warm bread puddings are served with a small scoop of cappuccino ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. This is the 1st time I’m trying bread pudding and I can’t say that I like it very much. It just tastes like very soft and moist bread. The creamy texture comes from the milk used to soak the bread before it’s baked. This may be an ideal comfort food for those who like bread but not for me.

Service was good since we were there during off-peak hours. The refilling of water was prompt and the waiters were attentive. One bad point is that if you need the washroom, you have to walk all the way to Centrepoint.

There are many outlets of TCC around Singapore and this is a good place for a meal if you have no idea where to eat.
