Eating solo in Wheat Baumkuchen, One Raffles Place
Where do you eat alone?
That day, I could go out before 12 and hence, I used the chance to try lunching alone at Wheat Baumkuchen at the basement level of One Raffles Place (which is linked to the MRT). Dining in (alone or not) at Wheat Baumkuchen on a weekday lunchtime can be a big challenge to fulfil, especially if you can only make it out of your office after 12PM.
How did it go?
You totally don't have to feel so conscious about eating alone at Wheat Baumkuchen. A lot of other people (usually office workers) are doing the same. I guess Raffles Place is not a big test for people who love to eat by his or herself. You can't sit here for a long time though as there will be a lot of hawk eyes looking at your plate and start murmuring "why this person is not leaving yet when he/ she has finished eating?". Oh well, the beauty of lunch mad-rush at Raffles Place.
How about the food?
Wheat Baumkuchen is known as a Japanese inspired salad and noodle bar. I don't really agree though because I don't think Wheat Baumkuchen sells any salad (apart from tofu salad I guess). One thing that I noticed is the name of the menu is so funny. You can basically eat Reindeer, Penguin, Whale and even, Polar Bear. O_O. [please don't report them to PETA, it's just the name, the meat served comes from acceptable animals. XD].

Their most favorite dish is usually the combination of green soba and whichever meat you choose (e.g. chicken, pork, or salmon). I tried to vary my food a bit and order a Polar Bear Rice which consists of minced pork, brown rice and some greens (S$8). I like the food and probably will come back again with or without eating buddy. =P
Why do you eat alone, again?
Lazy to make appointment. I guess this will be the most classic excuse I whip out everytime someone spot me eating alone on a weekday lunchtime.
