Little Cottage in the City

SP have been telling me about this restaurant along Burmah Road, and we finally decided (actually she decided) to visit the place.

It's called Little Cottage, and it sure is little. But don't be fooled by the size of the place when you enter because there are more tables upstairs. Little Cottage takes up 1 lot downstairs, but takes up 3 whole lots upstairs.



We had our lunch upstairs. The decor is decidedly cozy. Lots of knick knacks, an almost country-like decor.



How can anyone not like turtles greeting you at the stairway?



There are lots of waiters in Little Cottage, and they are very attentive. There's a lunch set menu with a considerable selection to choose from. Then the waiters will bring each course as you finish them, unlike other places where everything is dumped onto your table.



First there's the mushroom soup. Thick and yummy. The soup comes with a bun and butter. Then the main course. I chose the Grilled Fish with the Little Cottage special sauce. Accompanying the dish are mashed potatoes and a few selection of vegetables. I enjoyed the fish. It was moist and tasty by itself. I hardly needed the special sauce or the dollop of tartare sauce to enhance the taste.

SP chose the Chicken Chop. This is quite a normal dish, so I didn't choose it. But SP let me have a bit and I was surprised. It actually tastes good! The chicken chop had the right crispiness, together with the sauce, made for a very delicous bite.

Then there's dessert and a choice of coffee or tea. If you wish, you could add-on to the lunch set. Only the tiramisu caught my attention. We didn't have the tiramisu because the lunch set was quite substantial.



Little Cottage, a diamond in the rough, along Burmah Road. Parking may be difficult, but the food and the ambience is worth it. Oh... and the prices are very reasonable.
