The cafe is helmed by chef\/ owner Oh Qihao who has worked in a plethora of international hospitality names such as Hilton,\u00a0 Swissotel Stamford,\u00a0 Ramada and so on.\u00a0 He takes the standard found in these 5-star hotels up a notch and offers up polite,\u00a0 refined cuisine that far outstrips the humble surroundings of this cafe. Located in Cairnhill Community Club,\u00a0just 5 mins from Newton MRT,\u00a0 the bistro is centrally located without the crazy crowds of Orchard Road or Raffles Place. Cream of Mushroom (S$6) Trio Mushroom, Truffle Oil, Garlic Cigar Dense and creamy (you get none of the mediocre watery stuff here).\u00a0 Nevertheless,\u00a0 no aspect of it was overdone.\u00a0 You get a whiff of the truffle oil;\u00a0the soup is creamy but not too creamy.\u00a0 Even the garlic cigar, which is basically garlic bread, is not overpoweringly, nauseatingly garlicky.\u00a0 The flavours in this soup remain polite and refined.\u00a0 Considering this soup is typical Western cuisine,\u00a0 the sheer fact that Chef Oh has created a delicate, refined version of it,\u00a0 I thought that was quite original and ground-breaking. Flamed Torch Teriyaki Ribeye Cube (S$15) I was genuinely sad when I finished every morsel on the plate.\u00a0 Once again,\u00a0the flavours- the sesame,\u00a0 teriyaki,\u00a0 the meaty oomph of the beef,\u00a0 the lightness of the greens,\u00a0are all perfectly,\u00a0 delicately balanced yet magically brought together into a cohesive whole by the light umami of the egg yolk.\u00a0 Chef Oh is inventive. Modern Caesar Salad (S$8) 65 Degree Egg, Dough Fritters The colours are amazing.\u00a0 The dish is original-\u00a0why would anyone need croutons when Chinese dough fritters work just as well? 8 Hour Braised Beef (S$16) Aged Hua Diao Wine, Mashed Potato The braised beef was unlike any I have tasted,\u00a0 thanks to the clever, inventive use of Aged Hua Diao wine,\u00a0which gives the beef a distinctive,\u00a0inimitable flavour.\u00a0Chef Oh has also suitably\u00a0provided mashed potatoes to mop up the rich, delicious sauce.\u00a0 BTW,\u00a0 the braised beef goes excellently with the housepour Pierre Jean Merlot (France; S$13 per glass).\u00a0\u00a0I found the housepour delicious and extremely drinkable.\u00a0 And the best part of all,\u00a0 Daily Affairs is having\u00a0 all-day, everyday 1-for-1 promotion for all alcoholic beverages including beer and housepours. I rounded off my meal with a Cappucino (S$3.50).\u00a0 Specifically roasted to Chef Oh&#8217;s requirements,\u00a0 once again,\u00a0 there is none of that brashness you find in coffees elsewhere. The coffee here is more muted and refined. Verdict: polite, refined cuisine always scores high in my books.\u00a0 This place is unbelievable value for money.\u00a0 I am so sad I have to share this place with the world. Note: as mentioned above, Daily Affairs is having\u00a0all-day, everyday 1-for-1 promotion for all alcoholic beverages including beer and housepours."}
