Dining table with chequered table top. This is not for decoration only, its the clever idea of the owner for customers to have a match of checkers or other old school games while waiting for food. This is to make their customers avoid using the handphone all the time. Sit back and enjoy a game or 2, laugh it out instead of looking at your handphone all day. Have a game, loser pay for the bill!! Hahahaha
Rootbeer Float ($8) - Rootbeer with vanilla ice cream
oldies cups
Original Wings ( $4) - Crispy and juicy. BBQ and garlic chilli winglets available too.
Otah Pizza ($22) - The weirdest ingredients you would find in your pizza - ikan bilis, otah and cucumber. Thick chunk of otah, generous toppings of cheese together with thin and crispy crust makes this local flavour pizza exceptionally outstanding. The spiciness is just right and adds on a punch to this savoury pizza. You would not stop with just one slice. Try eating your nasi lemak in pizza style!
Pistachio Crunch ($10) - This unique dessert definitely worth mentioning. Bottom layer of nutty pistachio biscuit base topped with light pistachio mousse. A perfect combination of smooth and crunchy texture hit the spot entirely. Overall not too sweet and the vanilla ice cream blends well with it too. Do not leave Potbellies without tasting this dessert.

Potbellies Deluxe Pizza ($22) - I like this very much, generous spreading of cheese on the top, hams, onions and mushroom as toppings really spice things here. The pizza is soft and juicy, thin crust is very crispy. recommended for pizza lover
Pork Knuckle ($55) - Gigantic Pork Knuckle with a serving of salad and gratin. This dish is highly recommended by the owner. The pork knuckle is marinated the day before and was cooked slowly in an oven to ensure crispy outer layer. The meat is flavoured but slightly on the salty side, but still taste delicious. Sambal chili and mustard sauce are provided, east and west fusion concept. If this is not enough, you still can dip into the brown sauce which was used to marinate the knuckle.
Gratin - Come with the pork knuckle, smashed potatoes and bread

Potbellies certainly serves awesome food for their patron's bellies. This themed restaurant at the heartland of Tiong Bahru is a good place to chill and have a good meal with your friends or family.
