White Rabbit, Singapore

Finally decided to check out White Rabbit at Harding Road, the restaurant which seemed to be on everyone's lips nowadays.

One thing which White Rabbit's got to its advantage is the beautiful setting - the former Ebenezer chapel offers high ceiling & Gothic windows. The food is hit-and-miss though. I had the laksa-flavored prawn bisque soup - the soup was topped with eggwhite which was baked till golden-brown. Very fresh slivers of prawns in the soup, but otherwise a bit too watery & bland.

My entree was the much-vaunted White Rabbit Mac-and-Cheese. Again, I found the dish pretty bland & tasteless. I can't taste the truffle sauce at all, and the black truffles scattered around the dish was totally scentless! Overall, quite disappointed with the dish - S$28 for something which I can cook (even better) at home.

The three of us decided to share 2 desserts. We ordered the Mars Bar souffle and the Blackforest cake. The Mars Bar souffle turned out to be quite average - we fail to see its connection to the famous confectionary of the same name. We loved the Blackforest cake though - it's a deconstructed version - a cylidrical tube of chocolate parfait resting on chocolate-cookie crumbs, accompanied by whipped vanilla & chocolate creme, and very nice liqueuer cherries.
