I patronised Butternut on Sunday evening for dinner, after we were originally unable to find a tze char stall to have dinner. We ordered two baked spaghettis, one salmon spaghetti and 12 onion rings.
Service wise, it was great. The lady who served us that evening was great and friendly. She took the initiative to even show us the dishes when we were unsure for easier understanding. She also shared useful information like when the neighbouring tze char stall was closed.
Even when errors were made, the service recovery she provided was excellent (such as where I added a nacho cheese tub for my onion rings, and it was not given as the chit was long and the remark was hidden, and I received an extra mayo tub on top of the tub of nacho cheese sauce I ordered to go with my food, which would have cost additional 50 cents if i ordered). She was also quick to get the missed out chicken chop done for us too. And appreciate that she came to check on how the food was during our meal.
Food wise, it was great as per our previous visits. Although I ordered spicy alfredo and instead got a normal alfredo baked spaghetti, and my parents got an arrabiata spaghetti with dill salmon and it did not taste of spice, but the food still tasted great. I added mushrooms to the 2 baked pastas, and was happy to see a significant amount of the toppings included in the spaghetti, making the additional topup worth. The sauce for the baked spaghetti as well as normal spaghetti were good too, and spaghetti was al dente. Overall we enjoyed our food.
Some suggestions I can give are that firstly, maybe can sell more options for the protein, like grilled white dory fish, which goes well with pasta, or even sausage. Another suggestion I would like to give is maybe can introduce sides like chicken salad or smoked salmon salad, as I noticed underneath the stall name, it mentions ‘salad, pizza, western fusion’, but the menu does not sell any salad. Also, understand that there was an ‘ang mo zi char’ at level 3. Maybe the rostis can be brought back to be sold as a side. Stir fried mushrooms too. Just to note previously we ordered pizzas too, and they were good.
Overall, we have known this stall quite some years back, and we are glad to see it survive through the tough F&B climate. We will continue to support the stall and hope it will last with good food. Especially with the halal conversion, allowing more muslim diners to enjoy the great offerings.
