Park Bench Deli – Telok Ayer, Singapore

When I entered Park Bench Deli at Telok Ayer, I was greeted by an empty space with kitchen at the far back and was dimly lighted, except for the kitchen area. I thought that the empty space was a pretty waste of space. Bar tables were by a side with hardly any chairs. Only park and no bench. I suppose it is mainly for grab and go.

Park Bench Deli - Menu

 

Very limited offering at Park Bench Deli. 5 Sandwiches, 2 breakfast and 5 sides. I didn’t notice the price until I placed my order.

Park Bench Deli doesn’t serve hot drinks but a good variety of uncommon canned and bottled drinks.

 

Park Bench Deli - My Lunch, Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey and Torta Sandwich

 

A Torta sandwich ($15)  and an Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey ($4.50) totalled to $19.50. I thought to myself, this was very expensive. Lucky, there isn’t additional GST and service charge.

 

Park Bench Deli - Torta Sandwich, Pulled Pork

 

The Torta Sandwich packed with pulled pork and some Guac, pickled onions & jalapeno, salsa and cotija to create another layer of flavour, sour, to whet the appetite. The sandwiches are nicely wrapped and sliced into halves for convenience of consumption.

The sandwich despite the size, doesn’t look huge was filling at least for me. And was a tasty one too.

 

There is no lack of food around Telok Ayer and yet Park Bench Deli has been drawing some crowd during lunch hours from those working around the area. No doublt, it was tasty and flavourful, but is it worth that price tag? Looks like it is from the crowd. I am not one who usually look at the price of the food but this round I feel the pinch somehow.
