When I heard Food for Thought had opened in the National Museum of Singapore, I was actually looking forward to have a look at the decor. As I recalled they did a good one at the Botanical Gardens, blending into the environment with plants at the concrete table. I must say I was a little disappointed as the outlet at the museum did not give an arty museum flair as I would have expected.
The inside of the Food for Thought museum is catered for large crowds, where as the outdoor (air-con) seating within the museum is for smaller groups of 4 or less. Food was similiar to the other outlets and because we already had a full meal at the nearby The Cathay, we only needed a good cup of coffee, and later sucumbed to a delicious lip-smacking plate of fries. Of late, we seem to prefer fries over cakes with our coffee. A wierd combination, but delicious anyway.
It is indeed the right move to have Food for Thought open up at the musuem, which is decent, palatable fare at reasonable pricing. A natural trip to the cafe after visiting the exhibition halls. Just being in the museum made me feel a little arty and learned! I suppose if you want to run away from the crowds at Plaza Singapura this is the place to come for a cuppa.
