On a wednesday night, at around 8pm, shockingly there wasnt a queue all the way to the next few stalls. Instead, my fren and I managed to be seated in less than 10 minutes. We quickly decided to go for the Sirloin steak and i had the Ribeye Extra Cut. Both of ours were medium.
Our sides were, onion rings, fries, salad, steamed vegetables and an extra order of onion rings.
The steaks came after about 10 minutes. medium done and quite alright. Better than food court steaks anytime. I didnt really like their sauce though. Would much prefer black pepper sauce.
But one thing i really liked was the fries. they were crispy and still soft on the inside. Not oozing with oil and i liked that they sprinkled chilli powder on it. Tasted spicy and delicious.
Total damage done was less than 17 per person. For the amount we ate i felt it was well worth it.
b4 heading to U.D.D.E.R.S for a taste of some sinful hot chocolate.
Met up with CG to fill our hungry tummies at Novena Square. Note: b4 this i was wandering around amazed at how fantastic NS n Square 2 is. Theyve got Cedele, Donut factory, Buttercup and Little Jerry's Cookies. Lucky thing i restrained myself from buyin them.
Since i dont really eat rice, I decided to have the Chicken and Fish Katsu Udon with soup n a Sprite. CG had the stewed pork set and we shared the Cheesy Crab Croquettes.
The crap croquettes were not bad. Cheese was oozin out with each bite though i didnt really taste much cheese.
Didnt try CG's dish but i liked my udon. I grew up with curry, fish, chicken, mutton but the indian kind so tasting this Curry whichwas thick n abit on the sweet side was a different experience and i must admit, i liked it. I did however love the chicken n fish. Not too oily and the chicken wasnt super hard nor was the fish too fishy or unfresh. We didnt have desserts since we were goin to U.D.D.E.R.S.
Service was good. They accidently mixed up my order but was immediately rectified.
One other thing i appreciated is that they seperated the chicken and fish from my Udon, Thus preserving their crispyness as they were fried. Now that I must applaud
Since its a monday, the cheaper dish is at half price.
After having a hard time choosing a site for dinner, My colleague and I ended up at Coffee Club.
I was hankering for something with salmon and quickly decided on the smoked almon sandwich. We also ordered the new duck confit salad to share and a chocolate cake(forgot the name) to share.
The food came quite quickly. Around 10 minutes. I enjoyed the duck confit salad. The balsamic vinegar helped to ease the saltish taste of the duck.
Smoked salmon was good too. 4 thin slices of fresh salmon on a walnut sesame bun and tarragon sauce. It was refreshing, delicious and quite filling.
Finally the cake. Upon the first taste i was floating in heaven. It was one of the cakes chosen from the counter and I followed the recommendation of the waiter. Good choice. It had a good balance of mousse and sponge cake and at the bottom, there was my favourite hazlenut crunch. Both me n my collegue(chocolate lovers) were impressed and satisfied especially my colleague who himself had a whole glass of iced chocolate.
Service was good, attentive staff and friendly, ever ready to give recommendations and take special requests for food orders.
Met up with a fren n his girl for dinner n ended up being the onli 1 who ate..
Was first wanted to eat the Calamari n Chips but went with the Chicken Cordon Bleu as
a) The ham they used was Turkey Ham
b) CHEESE!
When it came it was already cut in half and i could see the cheese ooozing out and calling out to me. I dove it and attacked the juicy chicken thigh saving the cheese for last. Cant say it wow-ed me but i was impressed by the generous amount of cheese used. The fries they came with they crispy n soft inside. Still hot after i finished the chicken. Brown sauce that was on top of the chicken tastes like the mashed potato sauce. Filling meal but nothing to shout about.
Service was good. Think the manager was serving so she was zipping around taking orders and sending the food. I was impressed at how efficient she was and very accomodating. She even recommended me a few dessert options but i was too full so didnt try any.
Its located ryt next to Borders so its a bit on the noisy side(esp since singtel is ryt opposite. But i like that they have magazines on hand and the mags are the recent ones not from months ago)
Next time im trying the Dome.
I will return for the calamari n chips n even the cordon bleu as its hard to find one that doesnt use ham
After driving around from AMK to Town, my bf n i ended up @ this establishment(since iv never actualli been to the Big Splash).
The menu looked intresting and I was already famished so we tot we'd give the place a shot.
After much deliberation we ordered items that could probably feed a party of 3.
Calamari Fritti - $9.90
Pan Seared Barramundi with Truffle Sauce - 23.90
Sausage with roesti - $16.90
Cheese Fries - $5.90
Bread Roll with butter - $1.90
2 Pepsi - $3.50(each)
the Bread and Calamari came within ten minutes and were pretty good.
Calamari was not the typical body of the calamari but the tentacle like thingy. Not rubbery even after it became slightly cold after a while. THe batter was light and not too jerlak.
My fish came soon after and I was a bit hesitant to dig in at first as i smelt a slight hint of fishyness so was worried the taste myt bee too much. Attacked the asparagus first and fell in love with the sauce. Asparagus was crunchy n yet cooked just nice. Juicy too and went well with the sauce. Finally tried the fish and was pleasantly surprised that it didnt taste the slightest bit too fishy. In fact it was nicely cooked, flaky and i even ate it without the aid of chilli sauce.
Bfs Chicken Black Pepper Sausage was not bad too. It was just like how fatpig described it. I found the variety of sausages available quite impressive though. The roesti was a tad bland tho. But still ok...
Service was alrite. Was abit put off by the behavior or some of the staff who were huddled together n guys being guys, checking out people walking by and joking around. Was mainly served by one particular staff who I was impressed with. Was attentive and polite. Another staff also scored points when he constantli refilled my bfs water n checked on us after a while asking how we found the food.
Overall liked what I had. Maybe if i have the car or something I might(i repeat) might return. But there are still other restaurants @ EC that I have yet to try.
Citibank cardmembers get a 10% discount and i didnt notice a 7%gst charge.
