15minutes tick tock'
Friends food & Fame
"Conceptualized by a group of six friends – Jef Koh, Jocelyn Goh, Sandy Oh, Richard Koh, Randy Chan and Kelley Cheng – 15 Minutes builds and thrives on the theme of friendship through its design, service and culture."
15 minutes café at the LASALLE College of the Arts was opened inspired by Pop Artist Andy Warhol's notable quote "In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes". It thus, gives aspiring musicians a platform to perform there & have their '15 minutes of fame'. It's true, on special evenings, there will be guest DJs in the house, and on other days, there's gonna be live performances from various singers and bands.
I loved its chic and minimalistic design. With tall ceilings, glass panels & long tables, it makes the whole place look very spacious. Also, because of its long tables perhaps, it has become an ideal place for big groups to dine or chill out there. When I was there, I saw that the crowd largely comprises of university students (I met a SMU group having pre-camp dinner!) and young adults.

Besides the chic design, there's a contrast of 'old school' design too. Just check out the menu written on chalkboards! Doesn't it look like an old school canteen?

menu of the night
Settled down, flipped through the menu. Not much variety I would say. The food served are standard Western fares (your typical pizzas, fries, pastas etc) & don't know why but the main courses didn't appeal to me somehow, so I ordered 2 'smaller' items instead, as featured below...
Food Galore!
The girls & our yummy food! Look how happy we were. I remember I wasn't even hungry that night but the sight of food made me joyful.
I ordered Citrus Salad & thickcut Cajun fries!
Check them out! I thought that they were really unique, for one, at least I haven't seen such things before. Especially, the fresh citrus salad... in a jar!
It was decent, not too bad. Wasn't expecting it to be awesome anyways. But for sure, I won't order it the next time I'm dining there because it was too fried and crunchy for me to handle. I prefer soggy fries, teehee! However, I would compliment the cajun spices which made these fries much tastier! Fries wise, I still prefer the ones at Blooies. Ultimate Crave!
Citrus Salad
The dressing that was drizzled on it made the entire jar of salad very refreshing and I totally loved it. Very light, but I would have loved it more if there were more oranges and grapefruits! There was an overload of raw vegetables and because it was served in a jar, when I got to the bottom part, I had some difficulty trying to pick up my vegs! On hindsight, maybe I should have poured everything out from the start to ease eating.
Dear Shiqi & I...

Grilled Pork Chop
My friends enjoyed their maincourse a lot. Sorry, I couldn't try it because both were creamy based and yes, I'm allergic to cream. So yeah. Also, a pity we weren't hungry therefore we didn't managed to order any other dishes that night for sharing, but the one thing I would want to try on my next trip would be the Oriental Duck Pizza! It's a combi of glazed duck slices & mandarin oranges with cashew nuts, how interesting!

Really thankgod for these 2 angels in my life. It's so amazing how we met through different friends and little did I know when I first met them that they will actually be one of my good friends. Had a good catchup session, telling each other what we have been up to these days. Be it continuing our studies or taking a gap year to work first, whatever it is, I foresee great futures for both of them. Let's do our best in our future endeavors, all the best my girls!
Remember, I'll always be there for you in any times of need. Just call me! ☺
