Went there specifically to try the breakfast that they offer. Finding APS is easy (right outside Cashew MRT!), but once at APS main gate, got lost a few times with security trying to guide me until I realise what to do (from main entrance go straight to end and climb stairs). Despite arriving 10~ minutes before opening time, they are ready to serve me. Waitstaff sometimes complained about my coffee habits (I drank 3 cups), I think they are concerned I go hyper caffeinated XD but otherwise I understand their concerns. I got Chicken Porridge ($9) with Coffee (I chose this) or Tea, and Carrot Cake (I chose this) or Brownies ($2). Porridge bowl comes with peanuts, vegetables (the chicken floss was swapped with vegetables, eventually they declare chicken porridge out of stock from what I heard from waitstaff). Even comes with side dish of Youtiao (fried dough), which I ate before my porridge came. Bowl was VERY huge (see photos), so for $9 this is great value compared to some restaurants where they give one small dollop of some ingredient and charge $20+. Nice view, but very empty (one other person came but otherwise from 8:30 to 9:30 just only me), apparently as of posting this is last day before restaurant takes break for school holiday. OK, at least I know now how to make waitstaff life easier XD! PS: My reservation was 8:30AM. Waitstaff did not seem to check reservation. Maybe they know I am only customer somehow!

Upon arriving, you're greeted with a choice of warm or cold water—a nice welcoming touch. I ordered the pan-seared red snapper with kecap manis sauce (over the sambal chili option). The rice portion was slightly smaller than usual, but it ended up being just right for me. For dessert, I got the berries crumble with ice cream, which was surprisingly good! I was hoping to try the carrot cake since someone recommended it to me. I saw a full tray when I walked in, but it was already sold out by the time I ordered dessert—a real pity! Guess I'll have to order it earlier next time if I come back for a meal!

The restaurant is clean and has a good vibe. I ordered a set lunch for $16, which comes with soup of the day, main course, dessert and drink (coffee/tea). Service was decent, but don’t expect too much as they are students/trainees. So please be patient. The waiter missed out on my water, and also accidentally charged my friend for set lunch when he only order ala carte. Food wise, it’s good and healthy and of decent portion. Nonetheless, it’s an overall pleasant experience, and I’ll come again!

26 Jan 26 Just sharing my personal opinion — everyone has different taste preferences. I’ve visited Assumption Restaurant for Training (ART) a few times. What makes ART meaningful is that it provides students with real-world F&B and service training. Dining there feels purposeful, knowing that you are supporting their learning and development. On my recent visit, I ordered the fish and chips. The portion was generous and reasonably priced. The batter was crisp without being overly greasy, and the fish was fresh and moist. Overall, the dish was above average, especially considering the value for money. I would also like to highlight their pastries, which are one of the main reasons I return. The pandan cake was moist, light, and fragrant — not overly sweet, and well-balanced in flavour. For the quality offered, the pricing is very fair. Service may occasionally reflect that the staff are trainees, but they are generally polite and sincere, which makes the dining experience pleasant. Overall, ART offers good food at reasonable prices, while supporting a meaningful training initiative. I would recommend giving it a try, especially their pastries.

This monthly buffet is a fantastic way to enjoy authentic traditional flavors. The porridge is comforting, and the variety of side dishes is impressive—especially the tender braised duck and flavorful prawn paste chicken. It’s not just about the food; the event supports student training and community, making every visit meaningful. Highly recommend booking early as it fills up fast.
