Marmalade Pantry @Orchard, Ion

This is another affordable place for meals in Orchard, well, if you're looking at places like Saveur, and thinks that Alfresco Gutso downstairs is too expensive. For more affordable eats, you can check out Ion's basement.

They do have many kinds of flour-based mains like pasta with all sorts of interesting sauces, meats, sandwiches, and the likes.
Also well-known are their pastries, which are in full glory on the counters, totally making those hungry people queuing up even hungrier, like me.

Here's what we had for dinner...

Pork Lagsana ($24) 

with fresh ricotta

The Maramalade Mac and Cheese ($24)

on a skillet with mozzarella, parmesan, emmental and gruyere

Sea-salt Caramel Cheesecake ($8) 

Sea-salt Caramel Cheesecake ($8) 
The cakes comes in slices and wholes, which can be a good idea for birthday cakes, if you do not mind the $60+ price tag.

Nothing fantastic, just very normal. It's usually crowded during dinner time and totally not worth the queue-up...
