Met up with Xinyu & Guomin for lunch before school started, and we wanted to try the food over at Kichn located at Albert Court. To our horror, we realised that they were not open for lunch when we were greeted by chained up chairs and a 'closed' sign. Reason being: they have got no part timers to work the afternoon shift. Boy does it remind me of Gobi hahaha.

Anyway, we chanced upon 15 minutes right next door at La Salle College of the Arts and decided to give it a try. We were definitely glad we did so. This self service cafe requires you to queue up to order at their counter, and to return to collect your food when the beeper with your order number rings and starts vibrating.


GM & XY so engrossed in their little gadgets.

The Ham & Mozzarella ($9.50) was my favourite among the 3 items that we shared. It definitely reminded me of the pizza served at Timbre (not to mention it is less than half the price at Timbre), and they were really quite generous with their toppings too!

Thai Pesto Chicken Pizza ($9.50) would be much better without my hated capsicum! There are about 8-10 pizza flavours for you to choose from!

I personally love aglio olio, but it's probably one of the toughest dish to master. This Prawn Aglio Olio ($8.50) contained a number of succulent prawns with an average pasta quality BUT WITHOUT A HINT OF GARLIC? ):

Now you must be wondering why there are more than the 3 dishes than what i have mentioned.

This is because i re-visited this place the next day with a different group of people. At about 8pm on a Saturday, we waited for about 30 minutes for a table for 12. To my surprise, although the dinner menu did not change much, the price went up by $3-$4 for the mains, and about $2 for the drinks. The other difference is that service staff are around at dinner time to serve you - so no more long queues at the counter.

Chicken Guacamole Cream Pasta ($10.90) was really unique. The sauce was thick and creamy, but yet the taste of the avocado was not being overpowered.

Wasabi Prawn Pizza ($12.90) that the waitress recommended was a refreshing twist. Being one who cannot appreciate wasabi, I found it really good as it was quite mild and went really well with the tomato base and the cuttlefish flakes.


15 minutes has a little flight of stairs to another space with canteen-style long benches on slightly elevated ground. The glass panels surrounding it made the entire place feel more spacious, and at the same time, allow you to people watch in the relaxing environment.

I would recommend this place to chill and watch the world go by, or even to enjoy the life band performing at night with a group of friends. However, the difference in the price from the lunch to dinner menu may be a little bit hard to digest.
