Tucked away inside the Bukit Timah Saddle Club off Eng Neo Ave, the main entrance of this whole place (which consists of Bukit Timah Saddle Club, Rider's Cafe, Mimolette, some hotpot restaurant and some other things) is pretty easy to miss if you do not look out for it carefully, as the one and only signboard at the main road is placed next to bushy trees and dusty driveways. Not advisable to come here without a car/taxi as it is a long long way uphill in order to reach any of the outlets in that place.

Rider's cafe is supposedly famous for its breakfast items, which extends up to 3pm on weekends, but as we only got there around 7pm, we are only left with the dinner menu to choose from. The complimentary bread rolls are quite nice, warm and slightly chewy, although they came a little late(together with the mains).
Steak Frittes ($35)
Firstly, there wasn't much on the menu to choose from. Secondly, Steak Frittes was supposedly the special main of the day. So since i wanted something hearty coz i was starving, i decided to give this a try despite its hefty price tag. However, it was plain disappointing. Probably the saltiest and fattest steak i ever had (not to mention its supposed to be Angus beef?). Even the fries are nicer. Definitely not worth the price.
Riders burger ($17)
Nothing much to wow about also, with salty beef patties and normal store-bought burger buns, but for half the price, it was definitely more worth it than the Steak Frittes.
To conclude, Riders should only be visited for their breakfast. That will be the only reason why i will make the long journey there a 2nd time, and hope it doesnt let me down.
