OTC Cafe at National Library – Order with Eatsy App, Split Bills & Earn Cashback

Besides the taste and quality of food, what determines a customer’s return is all about the experience. I have had wonderful meals in many places, only to be put off by the long wait of bills to come. What’s worst is having my fair share of tireless arm flailing before any staffs notice my needs, or having to deal with cold food because my partner’s order is wrongly placed.

Well obviously someone on this sunny island emphatizes with such woes to come up with a plausible solution. Hence, this sparked the born of Eatsy, a fuss-free system as an alternative to the conventional way of dining.

What’s Eatsy?

Eatsy is a mobile app that allows diners like us to be in control of our time, orders and payments. By dining in Eatsy’s merchant outlets, we can simply ‘open table’, add in our companions, submit orders and split the bill among one another after the meal.

Handled electronically, we can add on new orders as and when during our meals and have our bills settled without the exchange of cash. By increasing the number of times Eatsy app is being included in our dining experience, we can even earn cashback of up to 8%!

Using Eatsy is really easy.

1. Download Eatsy app
2. Sign up for an account
3. Open table and include the rest of the diners
4. Make orders
5. Submit orders
6. Select the mode of splitting bill

In all eagerness, we tried out Eatsy at OTC Cafe, located at level 3 of the National Library. Boosting a spacious dine-in area with communal tables for students, library-goers and working adults, OTC Cafe serves an affordable lunch menu, brunches, burgers, pastas, light bites and, desserts and pastries at the display counter. For those who need a perk-me-up, the various types of coffee and teas available are bound to spoilt you for choice.

One of the recommended dishes was the Egg & Cheese Portobello Mushroom with Grilled Bacon $15.90. Resembling baked egg pockets, two eggs were stuffed into the underside of the portobello mushrooms, slapped with a layer of cheese and baked to a golden yellow with blistered surface. Upon sliced, the juices locked within splurted out along with the yolky river.

This worked its magic on us, without compromising on the tastefully delicious flesh of the mushrooms with chewy cheese. The bacons were a tough bite and lent a moment of savouriness while the lightly vinegared mesclun salad added a refreshing dimension to the overall dish. I wouldn’t mind breakfast like this everyday.

At the same price, we also got the Gourmet Quinoa Bowls with Onsen Egg $15.90, a healthy choice for a balanced diet. The combination of corn, mushrooms, rocket leaves, tomatoes, onsen egg and a baked salmon on a bed of quinoa made a vividly flavoured dish straight for the stomaches of weight-watchers and post-gym eats. The salmon, on the other hand, took us some jaw gnawing with its rather dry texture and was sadly left intact while we scrapped down to the last bit of quinoa instead.

Truffle Mushrooms 8″ Pizza $15.50 totally rocked our socks off rife with the heavenly fragrance of truffle upon arrival at our table. The generous toss of truffle over cheese and mushroom on a thin crust was a welcoming condiment that livened the flavour of the pizza.

OTC Cafe also offers light bites such as the stretchy Mozzarella Sticks $7.50, the seemingly sinful Nacho Cheese Fries $9.90 and Seaweed Fries $8.90. What caught our eyes was the Spicy Chix Drumlets $8.90, a total of six palm-sized juicy drumlets donned in a crispy coat spiced with hints of chilli. A decent snack that would keep you going for seconds.

Don’t miss the Iced Green Tea Latte $7, one of the most beautiful latte I had ever seen. The rose-shaped green tea cubes were a sight to behold and melted in an elegant fashion when latte was poured over. Slightly on the sweeter note, this definitely created a sweet spot in my heart.

If not, there’s no stopping at the usuals such as the Espresso, Cappuccino, Mint Mocha , Cafe Latte and so on.

Round off with sweet treats like the Avocado Affogato $7.90, Gelato Ice Cream $4 and Homemade Tiramisu in a Jar $7.50 too.

From now till 31st March 2018, diners can get one free drink for every main course ordered at OTC Cafe.
