Food served was fast. The Mala Wings was awesome. We tried the salted egg pasta, which I felt was average.

Truffle egg lava burger was great, but the truffle taste is only on the buns, probably could try infusing the truffle into the beef patty. Mala pasta was good but taste and smell still have room for improvement. The buttermilk chicken crust is lightly soggy in the inside S’moreffles is only good when it goes with ice cream

Beef burger was not bad - sizeable patty! I loved that I could opt for free flow fries or a bottle of Corona to go along with this burger. The truffle fries just had a drizzle of truffle oil and no truffle shavings so I'd probably give that a miss in the future. Would love to go back for their waffles - they look really gd!The restaurant was very cramped, unfortunately. They had 3 big LG screens to show their menus which I thought could've been used to screen shows or something for patrons who were waiting for their food.

The platter is so tempting with rich and creamy cheese dip as well as the juicy pork sausages. Their waffle is crispy and thick. However, the ice cream isn't that creamy and smooth.

Food is normal, not worth for the price paid. Restaurant is quite small, so the ventilation is not good. Clothes get oily smell after coming out from the restaurant.

It was a pleasant place to dine in. As the bistro was quite crowded during lunch time hence the staff was unable to reserve as per our comments regards to our preferred seats.

Food not too bad but could have clear the plates before serving the waffles. Also the rates not like Coffeeshop or what but only accept cash for lunch time. Not being practical when now is trying to go cashless. The machine is working but they do not want to on it and say it’s only for dinner.

Came here for lunch with friend on a Saturday afternoon and it was almost full house. We had the purple sweet potato latte, which was pretty and quite tasty too, although a tad too sweet as we sipped more. The salted egg wings were delish, but we thought the truffle wagyu beef burger was too salty and the patty crumbled easily. Nonetheless, it was an overall good lunch in a relaxed neighbourhood with pretty good service.

The restaurant is not too crowded, food arrived fast enough and we didn’t wait too Long. But the staff didn’t inform of our reservation so if it will be crowed we might not get seats.

Food was good, overall experience is good. Just that the ventilation shld improve, my hair was oily after the visit. We ordered laksa pasta- seafood was fresh and the pasta is ale denta. The garlic wings a bit too sweet- probably becos of honey. I ordered the waffle too, not too bad, not fluffy enough, it will be good if softer..

Food served were quite big portions. Good for sharing actually. The burgers were delicious but the fish and chips were so so only. Location was easy to find and lots of carpark spaces. The restaurant is quite small and a little cramped.

Laksa pasta lacks the taste of laksa. Could be better improved. It was great that it can be reserved via Quandoo as there was a big crowd during lunch hour on a weekday and we saw some people who left after being asked to wait.

Been coming to The Workbench since they opened and the food never fails to be yummy. Brought a new group of friends this time and they loved the food too. We like it that the place is really cosy and service is fast and good too. Just that the air con is quite strong and it can get quite cold. It can also get quite noisy. But otherwise, we highly recommend this place for their pasta and their salted egg food items! :)

A decent neighbourhood outlet with some seats outside. Most would opt for the seats inside if the day is too hot. Online booking for weekend should include the morning hours since they are open from 10am.

Ma la pasta was great, and their signature waffles were fantastic. Service... needs to buck up.. we felt unwelcomed, despite making reservations, as we were led quite unhappily to our table. If not for being troublesome to move places with kids, I actually thought of walking away from my booking. The waffles then ended the evening on a sweet note..
