These tarts are the most popular thing in this cafe that it sells out by 4PM usually everyday, so if you are lucky, eat this tart ASAP, it contains a toothsome and flavorful rendition.
Besides the food, its the experience that would keep u coming back for more, when you enter Carpenter and Cook, you would feel a sense of warmth and vintage when you arrive here.
As you can see, it is decorated very nicely, most of their furniture has been brought over from the United Kingdom. They also sell these furniture to the public as well. They also make their own jams, spreads etc. to keep the authenticity going.

2) Nasi Padang River Valley
| 55 Zion Rd Singapore 247780 |
This is one of the best Nasi Padang ever! It is located in Zion Road. This is one of the former's Malaysian Prime Ministers favorite places to eat.
This Nasi Padang is always packed with people everyday, parking is a MAJOR problem here so those with cars should watch out. Their recipes are so good, but this place has full of secret recipes, there has been even a case where a rival Nasi Padang tried to steal the secret recipe, and than this Newspaper finally created justice for it.
To be perfectly honest, all their dishes is very nice, making you forget about your future health and diet plans, resisting to temptation to savour fantastic Nasi Padang.
