I'm probably one of the last few people to have heard of the Riders' Cafe at Green Fairways since this place is apparently packed during the weekday brunches and impossible to get a seat on weekends.
Tucked deep within the greenery near the old turf club and within interesting sights of magnificent horses in their stables or fairgrounds, this little cafe has done good for itself. Probably meant to be a resting place for the riders, this little cafe now serves out plate after plate of eggs, pancakes, burgers and pastas to diners that hardly own a single piece of riding gear.
We came a little too late for breakfast which was a shame cos their eggs are better. So I ordered the Rider's burger and hubby got the Gorgonzola ravioli.
Nothing spectacular, the burger comes with either steak fries or kettle chips. If like me, you absolutely detest fat fries, go for the kettle chips instead. The patty was average, the cheese and mushrooms added only an expected taste to the burger. The bacon was fried to an excellent crisp though and I love that they served pickles as well.
The ravioli was way too hardcore cheesy for my liking. It becomes too heavy and one-dimensional after one or two pieces. But the garlic prawn starter we ordered to share was pretty decent.
Since the ravioli failed to live up to expectation, we tried the crab meat pasta as well.
The pasta was laced pretty generously with juicy chunky crab meat and mushrooms. But again, it was also pretty average.
So my conclusion is the lunch menu is pretty boring and disappointing. All the good reviews they received were mainly for breakfast and desserts. So unless you can make it for brunch or tea, lunch may be better grazed else where.
