Ambush (Plaza Singapura (new Wing))

Ever wondered why Cordon Bleu is a chicken dish? I was puzzled when the friendly server kept asking me if I wanted that.. I always associated Cordon Bleu with a spirited drink and perhaps an alcohol laced dish, but this is neither.

We wanted to eat at a queueless place and this is all we got on a weekday evening. Though the space is large and seats plentiful, staff is low as such service is rather draggy, though we could understand and with good control of our hunger pangs and some patience, we managed to get a seat after waiting for about 10 mins. The place was large and there are plenty seats but the staff is but 2 lady and a guy yet, the lady who served us with super huge eyes is efficient, friendly and speaks very fast.

We ordered their speciality, fish and chips and cordon bleu chicken as promoted to us by the big eyed girl! It was a set meal and we both had fizzy peach to go with our meals. The soup of the day, a savoury and creamy mushroom soup with bits of mushrooms is yummy and smooth.

Shortly the cordon bleu chicken arrived. The chicken is a cheese and ham sandwiched breast meat of 2 pieces of chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes with sauteed mushroom and picked radish by the side complete with a bed of tossed greens drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The meat is a little too tough for my taste as I expected the filling to be more tender and juicy but it ain't. The mash is yummy and mushroom appetizing.

Fish and chip is served over tossed greens drizzled with the ever yummy balsamic vinegar. Though I hope they used less batter and more fish, the fish is tender and fresh with no fishy breaths.

The meal ended with a good note of the staff quickly clearing our table and topping up our ice water. It was a good experience and price is pretty worth for the portion. The seats are comfy and spacious able to house big groups however situated kindoff in the middle of nowhere, there is not much privacy, rather great for casual chit chats. Dessert choices were very few and the menu is rather confusing to read as its kinda in the form of a newsletter. So always ask the opinion of the staff on what is nice and they usually serve up a good meal for you.
