a new yuppie haven?

my parents discovered this new place on Upper Changi Rd that they took me to on Saturday - was surprised that so much has changed along Upper Changi Rd (near Simpang Bedok). even the pet store where we sort of got our dog from is no more... instead, what have sprung up are new, trendy eateries. one of which is Miss U Cafe.they sell themselves as a food and wine cafe - at the back of the cafe they have an entire shelf of wine bottles and at the counter, a heap of corks.
between the three of us, we ordered a Black Pepper Chicken and a Mixed Grill Platter for 2.The chicken was well done but was not too impressed with the sauce - i found the sauce too "boring": i liked the first few mouthfuls but after that it failed to keep me interested. i guess the fact that the sauce for the chicken on the Mixed Grill Platter was also black pepper didnt help.the Mixed Grill Platter was pretty good (i am sure it would have been nicer if i hadnt already eaten another serving of Black Pepper Chicken) - pork chop with a pear glaze, cheese-stuffed bratwursts, grilled chicken with black pepper sauce, lamb chops with thyme and red wine sauce and beef steak, with sides of boiled vegetables, mash potatoes and a baked potato with sour cream.i think our dessert was was the highlight of the meal - the Tiramisu was deliciously moist with coffee liquer while the Oreo Cheesecake did not have a soggy base and the Oreo bits inside the cheese filling were nice and crunchy.

think the place is a great for desserts but only so-so for it's mains
- a 4/5 for the desserts and a measily 3 for the main dishes.
